Description

Dust is composed of tiny particles of matter, including soil, pollen, skin cells, fabric fibers, and microscopic debris. These particles float in the air and settle on surfaces, often becoming a nuisance in homes and workplaces. Dust can also contribute to allergies and respiratory issues. Technological advancements face disruptions from dust accumulation, impairing the functionality of sensitive equipment in sectors such as manufacturing and data centers. Additionally, dust plays a significant role in climate dynamics, influencing atmospheric conditions which impacts global temperatures. Managing dust requires extensive strategies, including improved air filtration systems, stringent industrial regulations and urban green spaces to trap particles. This book aims to shed light on some of the unexplored aspects of dust in health, environmental and industrial contexts. Some of the diverse topics covered in this book address the varied aspects that fall under this category. It aims to serve as a resource guide for students and experts alike and contribute to the growth of the discipline.
