...dust's ingredient label is not the whole story, since all of those flecks and bits behave differently and present different levels of health risk. To investigate those factors more closely, Layton and Beamer developed a computer algorithm that looked at the size, source and toxicity of dust particles as well as how easily they enter the house, if they ever exit and, if so, by what route. That information, by extension, can provide at least a rough sense of the dust load in your own home. (See TIME's special report "How to Live 100 Years...

Next month, he's going to New York City to convince donor nations like the U.S. that Haiti has a "good recovery action plan," one that "won't just rebuild what was destroyed but present the Haiti that we're all dreaming of" 10 years down the line, he tells TIME.
