Chimney dust LA Times Crossword Clue |
SOOT |
Answer Explanation
Chimney dust is commonly referred to as "soot." Soot is a black powdery or flaky substance that forms from incomplete combustion of carbon-containing fuels such as wood, coal, oil, or gas. When these fuels are burned, especially in older or inefficient systems, some of the carbon particles do not fully combust and instead form fine particles that can accumulate in chimneys, flues, and exhaust systems.
Soot is a significant concern in homes with fireplaces or wood-burning stoves, as well as in industrial settings with combustion processes. It can build up over time and pose risks such as chimney fires or indoor air pollution if not properly managed or cleaned. Soot particles are small and can easily become airborne, potentially affecting respiratory health if inhaled.
