At the rate we're going, it will soon become necessary to find an alternative to breathing in order to keep all the "airborne" crap out of our lungs.

If the reports of those "sparklies" moving against the prevailing breezes are accurate, there's a chance we may have already been snorting up some basic version of "smart dust", isn't there?

That's what I was thinking. Who knows what we're inhaling these days! That ABC website reminds me of the Digital Angel website, showing what a great advance this new gizmo will be. Calling it 'dust' indicates to me, that it is something that can or will be ingested. Doesn't this seem like a very bizarre concept?

What I think is the strangest thing of all is that not once have I read an "official" mention of the fact, in any of these reports, that as dust, this will *obviously* be inhaled. If I simply overlooked it, please direct me to the right place. Seems like the most salient fact to me.
