Source control, ventilation, and filtration are the keys to healthy indoor air quality. Dehumidification is important too.

As a general rule, start with an oil base and follow up with latex based stain. If you go with Sikkens, no water-based follow-up is needed. Be sure to oil-base "prime" all edges and both sides. Latex goes on the "show" side/edges.
