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.

SPURS National Honor Society

SPURS National Honor Society (Service, Patriotism, Unity, Responsibility, and Sacrifice) was a collegiate sophomore honor society.

History

SPURS was founded at Montana State University - Bozeman as an honor society for Sophomore women in 1922. Originally a women-only organization, SPURS went co-educational in 1976. Chapters were spread across the United States, primarily at smaller colleges and universities and emphasis remained on community service and scholarship. The Sorority dissolved as a national organization as of May 31, 2006 by decision of the October 2005 National Convention .

Local Surviving chapters

MSU Bozeman Chapter

The MSU SPURS that were left decided to join with the MSU Student Alumni Association the following the year (as did the dissolved society "Fangs"—a branch from the Intercollegiate Knights.) With this team up, MSU's student alumni association-"SPURS and Fangs"- is in rapid development.

Linfield College Chapter

After the dissolution of the national organization, the SPURS chapter at Linfield College in McMinnville, Oregon decided to remain an honor society dedicated to the founding ideals. The club is no longer exclusively for sophomores but also juniors and seniors.
