Sounds like a positive overpressure filtration system.
That may work for dry particulates, but I doubt that it will for nerve agents, and almost certainly will do nothing for blood agents.
You may get some protection from biologicals, depending on how tight your home is, by constructing a positive overpressure system, and it should keep radiological particles (but not rays) out, but chemical weapons will probably be enhanced by that technique, as the agents are sucked into the house and concentrated there.
So you have some N, and B, but not C protection, IMHO.
