Living around a coal plant, I think, will result in far greater concentrations (per square yard) of these metallic spheres than say, a sample that comes from a remote valley region like in Idaho, Montana, or maybe your neighborhood à ‚¬" but I think that these days, there isn't any region that doesn't have at least a few of these metallic spheres per square foot.

I'll be collecting samples for both pollutant particles like these from the ground à ‚¬" as well as for micrometeorites using a wide basin à ‚¬" but doing this from ground-surface samples has been an eye-opener.

Very similar in appearance to my images, Photo 4 is from a Physics website that has a Defense Department photo of micrometeorites. Many have a translucent appearance. Note the two with a pearl-like appearance at the lower left.

Thought I'd pass this on to those interested in contamination from coal-plants à ‚¬" and other sources.
