Reply to comment by foodtower in Radon is a monatomic gas, but its decay products are solids. After a decay, what happens to the individual atoms of the daughter elements? Do they stay suspended in the atmosphere or slowly rain out? by foodtower
However, there are a lot more more oxygen atoms to collide with. Given mean free path and velocity at standard temperature and pressure, I think the random movement of the Pb atom is more likely to react with oxygen before finding the dust particle. Another response calculated the Pb O reaction to occur with in a second.

Another writer responded with mean free path and velocity for particles. Given that dust, that is other larger masses than individual oxygen atoms, will the electrically charge particle be much more likely to first bound with oxygen and then with dust?

Reply to comment by drdildamesh in UIUC Researchers propose a new way to get fresh water from seawater, without the disadvantages of traditional desalination. They say that a vertical “capture surface” that is 210 m wide and 100 m tall, could extract enough vapor floating above warm oceans to supply 500,000 people with freshwater by lughnasadh
A very small amount of water vapor is captured compared to the evaporation from the rest of the land and ocean.

Short. Sweet.
I think you meant to use "a long" instead of "along" in "I would do so for along time."

Great story!
I think you meant to use "staining" in this sentence:
"occluding the false skylight and staging the pastel stucco"

A powerful stranger cuts through the horde one night and reaches your compound's wall with a deal. Vampires are starving. Help feed them in exchange for protection from the other undead menace. by cesly1987
Wait, the zombies are actually vampires? Was expecting "we cannot feast on the blood of the undead."

Expand the business, sell or get rich, repeat until you can solve bigger problems, then ask the key for help solving them.... Eventually sell key to a likeminded trusted person and save the people and planet.
