Hi guys.

When reading your research report, I was very attracted to the subject since it is not something common in my territory of Latin America where I live. The description of the problem as well as the sources cited, show the great research work that they have carried out. 

Let me ask you:

Have you thought of any method to avoid the accumulation of this dust?Will it be possible to implement this method in your locality?
