Concentrations of potentially harmful chemical contamination in dust collected from air filtration systems on the International Space Station (ISS) exceed those found in floor dust from many American homes, a new study has revealed.<\/h2>\n

Scientists analysed a sample of dust from air filters within the ISS. They found levels of harmful chemical contamination<\/a>, which were higher than the median values found in US and Western European homes.<\/p>\n

The results<\/a>, published in Environmental Science and Technology Letters<\/em>, could guide the design and construction of future spacecraft.<\/p>\n

This harmful chemical contamination could impact human health<\/h3>\n

The chemical contamination found in the \u2018space dust\u2019 included:<\/p>\n
