Looking carefully to dust accumulation mechanism on books and the way dust transfer to our respiratory organs let to estimate that the risk of exposure to books dust is compatible with active smoking. It seems that when you open a dusty book or turn pages; it is like that you smoke one or more cigarettes. We clean up every thing carefully from dust in the house or library except books.
