Let's Ban Dandruff!

In March, I posted a story about how new research is showing that coral reefs are contributing to global warming. Now, it's dandruff and dog fur, according to this article in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Dead skin, animal hair and other materials, such as bacteria, fungi, algae, viruses, plant cells and pollens, have been found to make up a larger part of "aerosol" air pollution than was thought.

By counting and identifying cells in air samples from around the world, a German researcher, Ruprecht Jaenicke, showed that about 25 per cent of atmospheric particles came from these sources in some places.
What next?
