The question came up while I was reading Thatotherguy's writeup of Dragon Rock: Imagine a typical asteroid city like Bral or Dragon Rock. There is a source of water (be it a portal to the elemantal plane of water, a decanter of endless water or whatever), but no precipitation. Also, there is not much wind or no wind at all. How does the atmosphere clean itself? Without rain, dust and sooty particles (from smithies or hearthfires) will float around, constantly deteriorating the air envelope. Everything landing outside the asteroids surface will sink down to the level of the gravity plane and be eventually driven out of the air envelope. But even when there are enough plants growing to replenish the oxygen, there is still a lot of dirt landing on the streets (where it will kicked up again by the boots of pedestrians) and on the roofs (where it will accumulate). So my question is: Is there some way, be it mundane or magical, to get rid of the "dust- problem"? Or do I overlook something and the problem doesn't come up in the first place? Tauster
