Drivebelt wear and Excavation Dust

This is a collection of particles from the top of an air handling unit on the 19th floor of a building in San Francisco. The lot immediately adjacent to this building was being excavated to build another highrise building. This is a combination of debris from the digging, the heavy equipment, the blower drivebelt and the natural background.
