Story: PC dust 'hazardous' - report

This report doesn't make it clear where the dust comes from.
Having opened-up many PCs I can't see that the quantities of dust found there are created by the PC itself. It is much more likely that it consists of fabric fibres from such things as carpets, curtains, clothing and furniture coverings, plus the usual human skin fragments and spider webs. If this is the case then we are all breathing-in this stuff everyday as we wander round our own homes and workplaces. I find this much more worrying than what might be inside my PC case.
