Keeping tainted atmosphere out is relatively easy. Just maintain a 
higher pressure inside. Doesn't even have to be very much higher.

I spent several years working in clean rooms that used positoive 
pressure to keep stuff out.

Vacuum I already dealt with.

Insidious and corrosive atmospheres aren't suited to this sort of 
thing. And exotic atmospheres may not be.

There aren't any remotely official figures on the distribution of 
atmosphere types. So we either wave our hands or go with the rolls 
for planet generation.
