Mineral dust is mainly constituted of the oxides (SiO 2, Al 2 O 3, FeO, Fe 2 O 3, CaO, and others) and carbonates (CaCO 3, MgCO 3) that constitute the Earth's crust.The composition of mineral dust, usually named in atmospheric sciences as mineralogy composition, is relevant for different physical and chemical processes in the atmosphere, for example, oxides with iron have an effect in the ...
Lycopodium powder is also sometimes used as a lubricating dust on skin-contacting latex (natural rubber) goods, such as condoms and medical gloves. [4]In physics experiments and demonstrations, lycopodium powder can be used to make sound waves in air visible for observation and measurement, and to make a pattern of electrostatic charge visible.
