The paper reports the estimates of dust fall and its chemical composition in certain indoor areas of Hyderabad - Secunderabad Railway Station and a big domestic mess. The quantity of dust fall; percentage of living matter in aerosols; and the pH, SO{sub 4}, Cl, Fe, Co, Zn, Mn, and Cu contents of dust were analyzed. The deposition of airborne dust particles was 102 to 180 mg/m{sup 2} {times} d in the railway station, while in the mess it was 52 to 97 mg/m{sup 2} {times} d.
