Hub Dust

UPS opens state-of-the-art facility in Tacoma, Washington

A guy I know who works at the local UPS hub was telling me about "hub dust". You look at pictures of these transshipment facilities and they look all pristine and perfect, but you've got all these conveyor belts running all day long for days, weeks, months, years, and all that mechanical machinery wears and all that wear becomes dust that permeates the air in these buildings. He goes to close up his personal bag at the end of his shift and the magnetic latches won't latch because they are coated with hub dust.
