A member asked:

What are these tiny dust like particles in my 5 year olds urine? he still uses his own potty and i just noticed them, there's many floating on top.

Likely urate crystal: The urine is a waste disposal system. One of the primary wastes is the breakdown products of proteins called urates. You can have that confirmed by a simple urinalysis if you wish.
