    What is dust made out of?

    Question #33747. Asked by kitten. (May 15 03 11:41 PM)


    Linus

    		nope is right. Dust is mainly comprised of dead flakes of human skin (around 70% to 80%), with the remainder being made from fabric fibres, dirt, dust mites and all sorts of other similarly wholesome goodies.

    yes, I am fairly positive...your body constantly loses dead skin cells and they eventually coat the surfaces in your house...among other things

    Dust is made up of 75% dead flakes of human skin; however, in an abandoned house one will find thick dust throughout. How is this possible?

    I recently watched an excellent documentary on the "dust bowl" which devastated a large area of the United States in the 1930's.
