Dust is a general name for minute solid particles with diameters less than 500 micrometers. On Earth, dust occurs in the atmosphere from various sources; soil dust lifted by wind, volcanic eruptions, and pollution are some examples. Airborne dust is an aerosol and can have a strong local radiative forcing on the atmosphere and significant effects on climate. If enough of the minute particles are dispersed within the air in a given area under certain circumstances this can be an explosion hazard.
