"Tons of dandruff polluting our air"

I'm not going to type the entire thing out, but an article by Randolph E. Schmid, AP, starts with "Want to help reduce air pollution? Try dandruff shampoo."

Seems that dandruff, along with flaking skin, fur, and other assorted similar stuff are polluting the air, and this group of stuff is called aerosols.

A SCIENTIST, Ruprecht Jaenicke of the Institute for Atmospheric Physics at Mainz University in Germany, has studied the nature's self-created aerosol issue and it seems that these biological materials can range in the 25% range up to 40% of all aerosols in the air.

This equates to 1,000 teragrams of pollution worldwide. A teragram is equal to somewhat more than a million TONS! So, if all this is factual, there's over a Billion Tons of biological aerosols in the air.

So the article goes on to discuss climate modeling, cloud physics, and the global climate .

Imagine what controls, committees, special panels, laws, and taxes could be applied to this overwhelming problem!

Think about what that homeless bum who hasn't bathed in a year is shedding and you breathed in as you walked by.
