    Dust is largely made of skin cells and fibers from our clothes and furniture. Since our clothes and furniture are containing more and more plastics and synthetics, I’d wager that our dust is noticeably different now than it was 30 years ago.

      For people like me living next to a large busy road, dust is mostly made out of micro plastics from tires :(

      Well, I didn’t do a compound analysis but I have to sweep my floor 3x as often as when I was in the countryside.
