Fine particles of matter (4)

I believe the answer is:

dust

(Other definitions for dust that I've seen before include "Powdery dirt in dry areas" , "Our mortal body" , "Sprinkle -- powder" , "Tiny particles of dirt, skin flakes etc" , "The mortal remains" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
