DUST
No matter how often we sweep the floor of our homes, we are still able to gather
together a considerable amount of dust. Dust is all around us. It gathers on bookshelves, on
furniture - old or new. These particles rest on any still object – undisturbed until touched or
wiped clean.
Dust, which was first believed to be made of dead skin has been found to be a mix of
different things. Some of the common ingredients of dust particles include animal fur, dead
insects, food, fiber from clothes, beddings, soil and other chemicals. Although most of
household dust comes from the outside through doors, windows and shoes, other dust
particles come from within. Scientists have discovered that the mix of dust from each
household actually depends on four things: the climate, the age of the house, the number of
persons who live in it and their individual cooking, cleaning and smoking habits. Making our
homes free of dust may not be possible but lessening the amount of dust that we keep in our
homes will help avoid possible allergies and allow us to breathe well.
