Do you ever wonder where all the worn off tire rubber goes ? What happenes when some fellow with a gas powered high volumn blower comes along and brings this stuff to flight ?
You know you must at some point seen the hundreds of tire stores that pepper the landscape and all the treadless cases . I live where there is alot of traffic and I have black dust daily .
no really. i have a white car that i park in my driveway that gets covered with a black film on a regular basis. i might add that i live a stone's throw away from a major freeway. my orange trees are also covered with this soot.

I lived on the major road to the local sugar beet refinery and every fall the inside of my apartment would get covered in black slit. I was dusting the place 2 and 3 times a day with little to no effect until the last sugar beet truck was put away for the winter.

I'd have another cigarette, but I can't see tell me who you're gonna believe ..."
Well I went down to Paradise City, but my city was gone. They'd paved Paradise and put up a parking lot and that parking lot was littered with cigarette butts and styrofoam cups.
Here in Phoenix (and I imagine elsewhere as well) they've 'rubberized' the freeways, as rubber on rubber creates less friction than rubber on pavement. 'Hence, less 'freeway dust,' and less noisy as well.
