Adding filtering to cabin air intake on Explorer?

I would like to see if I could add a filter to filter the outside air to keep dust and exhaust fumes down to a minumum? Has anyone done this on an Eplorer? I have an '02 model I am thinking of doing this to but don't even know if it's possible.

There was supposed to be a dealer installed cabin air filter available, but my dealer could never get the parts. It seems to have been discontinued.

Seems to be you would have to earn your engineering degree on this one. I was taking it into consideration....now this is just a conceptual IDEA off the top of my head...
What if you were to cut a slot in the very top of the firewall just under the hood, made it where you could slide in a small filter to cover the hole in the vent cowl where the fresh air is drawn in? You could use a 1/4" thick cut-to-fit residential window A/C washable filter. Cut very small of course to cover just the width of the hole....just a thought.
