I'm wondering if it can be modified to clean air as well in some form

Didn't the article say it was derived from a air cleaning product?
I just found an open source article printed 2013 about abating pollutants from a plant that had metals and other organic contaminants. They used the standard beta cyclodextrin and it did as well as activated carbon in removing metals and organics; that test didn't have lead, but if activated carbon is able to remove lead then I think the original b-cyclodextrin could also, and it appears that the improved form can filter up to 200 times some pollutants as activated charcoal. The other benefit is that activated charcoal needs high heat to be regenerated (and created) and cyclodextrin can be rinsed with methanol or ethanol and shows little to no measurable loss of effectiveness after cleaning
