Dust Particle Counts in Atmosphere Report
A U.S. Department of Agriculture study monitors daily dust particle levels in Washington air. Using a dust waiter, air pressure is reduced to precipitate particles onto glass for microscopic counting at 14 000x. Observed counts reach 8 800 particles per cubic centimeter in calm conditions, then drop to about 150 after precipitation. Particles are mainly fine minerals or organic matter from earth surface and industrial operations.
