"We know everything in our homes gathers dust. What you probably don’t know is
whether there are toxic contaminants in your house dust, and where these might
come from.
Our newly published research found most of the dust inside homes came from
outside and contains potentially toxic trace metals such as lead, arsenic and
chromium.
Worryingly, we found some contaminants can accumulate at higher concentrations
inside homes than outside. This happened in homes with certain characteristics:
older properties, metal construction materials enriched in zinc, recent
renovations and deteriorating paint.
Fortunately, you can take some simple steps to reduce your exposure, which we
explain later."
