    Scrap up a small sample in a test tube and find a university student to run it through a mass spectrometer.

    Good idea.
    The dust from the Weat winds has rained away, but I will look for more.
    (No idea how to find a university student, is there there Commercial labs for that kind of work? )
    I know, Google.

    Well, university student, where would I look? Perhaps, a university? Ah. And what university is near you? Nova University. And they're a research school with programs in Environmental Science.

    I think though it's safe to say the recent dust is from the wildfires, and there will be more as the fires are still burning.

    Couldn't resist, but Nova does actually have courses that might relate to it.
