Humanity's long and often futile battle against dust

Ever since humans first encountered dust, they have tried to contain it with varying degrees of success. Jay Owens tells the stories of the coal dust that covered the cities of the 18th century, the dust created by emptying lakes across the globe and even the mysterious dust found under the couch. She also asks the important question - is there such a thing as good dust?
