House dust appears to come from nowhere. It seems you no more than clean a surface and within hours or even minutes, dust reappears. What is this stuff? Where does it come from?
Approximately 20% of the dust in an average home will consist of pollen, mold spores, insect parts, microscopic urine and fecal particles from pet accidents, dust mites, mite excrement, and fibers from clothing, carpet, paper towels, tissues and toilet paper. When inhaled, these dust particles can trigger allergies and asthma, and cause a long list of ill health affects.
The remaining 80% of house dust is not much better. It is dead skin cells (dander) from humans and pets. Pound for pound, most of this dander comes from humans. Each person in your home will create about 40,000 particles per second. We shed billions of these particles everyday and there is no way to stop it. These dead skin particles become the primary food source for dust mites and mold which in turn further denigrates our indoor air quality.
