I live next to a very busy road (6-lane). When I moved in, the closets were filled with black stains. My brother-in-law cleaned it and said he never saw that kind of dirt. The closets are dirty again.

As time passed I also never encountered that amount of dust. The dust was also extremely different from the dust when I lived in the forest, dark colored and plentiful.

It accumulates very quickly, it gets abandoned-house-dusty in a week.

My breathing also got worse compared to the forest, especially during nights. So there's definitely something dusty around the road.

It was also quite interesting to see that the bathroom gets dusty as quickly too, despite being closed most of the time. It's like the whole ventilation system of the building naturally permeates dust.




If you have a central air heating system like most houses do, you should add a filter near the fan. You won't catch all the dust, but you'll collect a lot of it, making your air healthier to live in


I would run a couple standalone couple hepa aircleaners as well.
