Now that I know the source to the micro spheres what will I do with my time?
The source is most probably the New York City and State department of transportation.
I would say more however I want to inform Apollo20 first.
Marry Christmas.

Anything you like, just be safe!

Fascinating (no irony).

We'll be patient, but don't wait too long.

Merry Christmas to you too.
 
Look forward to seeing your results. However, since iron-rich microspheres are an expected result of a hot office building fire, I'd expect that there'd be more than one source of them.

Well while our master stroker decides whether to reach for a mashie on this one, let's try to decipher the Gaelic for our general viewership.

Hold on...he's testing the wind with blades of grass.........this could take awhile...

...so while we wait, it should be mentioned that what our roughian is trying to communicate is that he thinks he has discovered a source of microspheres that appears consistent with the WTC microspheres.

Ah...he's reaching for his tiny putter...

Gravy you probably walk or drive over billions of them every time you travel to ground Zero.
Also they are most likely formed from pyrite oxidation.
Although I believe some of the micro spheres in the world trade center, are from oxidation events in the buildings some of which I recreated I think others might just be migrants hauled in.
PS. micro sphere are not to be found in the structural concrete at the World Trade Center, they would undoubtedly be present in some non structural components though.
The key to figuring it out was actually provided by Dr. Jones, magnetic separation.
 
Dr. Frank Greening has graciously allowed me to listen in on a fascinating e-mail exchange between him and Steven Jones. I have not asked him for permission to post any of it, as I'm sure he will present the results when he feels ready.

Be assured, however, that Frank is doing very well--very well indeed!

Yes he is, although I do not want to give away what I found out right now I might be sending you a PM.

Didn't you just tell us? Pyrites? From the street composition?

Makes perfect sense as much urban dust derives from wear to pavements and to tires as well. One theory on the apparent rise in asthma in urban areas is that this has occurred since high-milage tires were first sold in the early 60s, and that it is caused by the "rubber" particles.
 
A iron-rich-micro-spheruling we will go! A iron-rich micro-spheruling we will go!

Cool!

So we should have no trouble finding zillions more?

Pyrites are not in the streets, However the biproduct of Iron sulfide combustion is.
 
Why do I have this feeling it has something to do with the type of fuel/diesel the city/state uses in their vehicles?

Not the fuel of the vehicles it is another fuel though, however the machine that burns it is way bigger than a house, and never moves just creates steam and spins.

I see, I was thinking that way from the posts you made about soot from the mufflers.
Can't wait to see how the correspondence with Jones goes. He's not going to like his "thermate" story dieing.

Think of a substance that looks like sand, and would be hauled in by the ton in a covered truck, did anyone see anything like that after 9/11?

The only thing that comes to mind immediately is coal fines burned in a watertube boiler which, in turn, is used to power a turbine generator.
