Mystery Of Red Powder Solved

CHICAGO -- It appears the mystery of rusty powder appearing all over the Chicago area has been solved, NBC5 reported on Tuesday.

People ranging from the far southern suburbs to the far northwestern suburbs have been spotting the powdery substance.

The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency said the powder is just dust. It's red coloring is because it likely blew into the are from drought-ridden areas of Oklahoma and Texas.

Officials said it does not pose a health risk, although people who are extremely sensitive to dust may notice it more.
