dust

Search the forum,
Dust is made of fine particles of solid matter. On Earth, it generally consists of particles in the atmosphere that come from various sources such as soil lifted by wind (an aeolian process), volcanic eruptions, and pollution. Dust in homes is composed of about 20–50% dead skin cells. The rest, and in offices, and other human environments is composed of small amounts of plant pollen, human hairs, animal fur, textile fibers, paper fibers, minerals from outdoor soil, burnt meteorite particles, and many other materials which may be found in the local environment.

    Dust control for raking grout

    :joker: Can anyone help me with a problem I have encountered. We are raking out grout to a swimming pool, and need to control the dust generated. Any ideas from previous experience. Dust extraction fitted to the grinder failed to control the dust sufficiently, so any ideas would be welcome.
