This has been a problem for years and years. Ever tried to look at the
end of Camden Station from the other end - its murky and hazy. Apparently
80% of the dust is dead skin - probably a mixture of mouse droppings and
asbestos too. Whatever DON'T bounce up and down on the filthy Bakerloo
Line seats. Then you will see the dust fly. CJB.

Iron dust, not asbestos, these days. Just google it for lots of info.

Better to just wallow in a swamp of ignorance and assume the worst, no?
