the dusty environment did not mitigate his tuberculosis but he turned away all kinds of (sometimes considerable) assistance and chose to live at a minimum level of material existence.
By emotion, passion (using the word affectus) he means alterations (and the ideals of those alterations) of the body determining its acting power. It`s substantiated much later on by psychologists without offering such a beautiful explanation. Spinoza´s Ethica is not an easy reading for anyone.
