Is old household dust bad for you if it's inhaled?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doubtful: You inhale household dust all of the time by just living in your house. Look at the dust in a beam of sunlight shining through a window and you can see how much dust it there. Your lung can handle this unless you are an asthmatic or working with some toxic material.
