I am ashamed to say how little I paid for this dog. Of course, she had hung fire for 8 months and she has no training, but her pedigree on both sides is outstanding. Rebel With a Cause, double up on Hey Paco, Riparian Roughrider, Honest Abe, Super Tanker, and TruMarc's Zip Code on the mom's side. Dad is also Honest Abe and doubled up on Zip Code, with Lean Mac, Cotton Pickin' Cropper, and a conformation line, Dickendall. These are names to conjure with.
Isn’t it cool when something good falls into your lap? I once had a friend who ran across an ad in the paper for a German Wirehaired Pointer. I forget why the people were getting rid of him, but she took him, looked at his pedigree and contacted the breeder. The dog ended up not only finishing is CH but being nationally ranked. Awesome!
True, but if you’ve ever driven down a dry dirt road, you have seen the dust come from it. The other things just combine with it to make dust balls.
We got ours on a sale day at Sears several years ago...
Love that dust!!
Sure, we used to have a stone driveway before we had it paved, and on dry days a lot of dust would be kicked up. Also when the local fields were plowed on dry days.
If that’s what this study is about then it’s really dumb, because it’s just common sense that dust will blow off of stone or dirt roads and fields.
Most Americans don’t live in rural areas and still get a lot of dust from the interior of their apartment or house.
ROFLOL
Think about it a bit.
over 60 percent of house dust originates outdoors.My goal is to accumulate so much dust in my house that I'll be able to say, when I finally sweep it out, that 60 per cent of outdoor dust originated indoors. ;')
I have, and I still doubt it.
Of course, this topic has huge implications, touching environmental-contamination liability issues, the huge rise in allergy cases, the cost of energy (by how tightly closed we make our homes), etc.
These results are fairly obvious to anyone working in the field, but scientific confirmation is required, especially in liability cases and because so many people are so quick to reject privately funded science these days.
Do you think privately funded science would be rejected if the govt didn’t fund so much? I think all science should be scrutenized for an agenda, but face it, if it’s done properly, it shouldn’t matter who funded it (unless they are simply making stuff up).
I bet the wind inside your home isn't as strong as outside. Small particles settle when the wind is lower.
I bet you have fewer electronics outdoors than indoors. Clay particles are charged, so they not only pick up contamination well, but often stick to indoor surfaces more readily than mere size and settling would indicate.
Note that breathing difficulties can be from allergens that are not what's being discussed (larger size, for example), or vapors of household products (most Americans live in places that would fail standards that would have to be met if a chemical company had a spill next door and it migrated into their home!)
