Dust

Dust consists of particles in the atmosphere that come from various sources such as soil, dust lifted by weather (an aeolian process), volcanic eruptions, and pollution. Dust in homes, offices, and other human environments contains small amounts of plant pollen, human and animal hairs, textile fibers, paper fibers, minerals from outdoor soil, human skin cells, burnt meteorite particles, and many other materials which may be found in the local environment.

Domestic dust and humans

House dust mites are present indoors wherever humans live. Positive tests for dust mite allergies are extremely common among people with asthma. Dust mites are microscopic arachnids whose primary food is dead human skin cells, but they do not live on living people. They and their faeces and other allergens they produce are major constituents of house dust, but because they are so heavy they are not suspended for long in the air. They are generally found on the floor and other surfaces until disturbed (by walking, for example). It could take somewhere between twenty minutes and two hours for dust mites to settle back down out of the air.

    Dust

    by: Dust

    You might think that I'm dreaming a dream
    Allow me to say that it's not as it seems
    A maiden of Marion kind had
    too many others but not enough time
    She speaks so many languages well
    All that she had she could easily sell
    Ooh, she tries oh so hard
    to incise the man that she meets
    It's her only device
    And then if her body runs dry
    Got no reason to fear
    There's a camel nearby
    Just let it lie down on its side
    Get yourself into place
    And then go for a ride
    It matters not one hump or two
    Take care of your machine
    in whatever you do
    You see, there's no need to explain
    If you want it enough
    You can solve your own game
    And then if her body runs dry
    Got no reason to fear
    There's a camel nearby
    Just let it lie down on its side
    Get yourself into place
    And then go for a ride
    It matters not one hump or two
    Take care of your machine
    in whatever you do
    Well, You see, there's no need to explain
    If you want it enough
    You can solve your own game
