Dust Bunnies!!

Link: www.macroevolution.net/dust-bunnies.html

Summary: Enviornmentalists finally answered the question: "Where do dust bunnies come from?"! The answer: all the dust in the house comes from outside. Dust includes many materials including: dead flakes of skin, carpet fibers, dirt, and other airborne plastic materials. It also can include lead, and arsenic, which could be harmful to humans. Nearly 60% of the dust originates outside, scientists discovered from the recent study.

Opinion: The answer was kind of obvious, and not as exciting as the opening sentence made it sound. But it was interesting to know the dangers that could be included in dust bunnies. In the article they addressed parents, I think parents should be aware of what is in dust bunnies, so they can prevent dangers with their kids.
