The propagation of electromagnetic and Langmuir waves in multicomponent unmagnetized plasmas with dust particles is investigated. The effect of capture of plasma electrons and ions by the dust particles is taken into account. The recent theory proposed by Tsytovich and Havnes [Comments Plasma Phys. Controlled Fusion [bold 15], 267 (1993)] to describe the kinetics of the capture process, as well as its perturbations, is further developed. The new wave damping due to this effect is calculated.
