Dust particles and pollen are two examples of nongaseous particles that can be found in the air.
Chimney dust is often referred to as soot or creosote. Soot is a black powdery or flaky substance composed mostly of carbon that can accumulate in chimneys. Creosote is a tar-like substance that is a byproduct of wood burning and can also build up in chimneys, posing a fire hazard.

many chimney sweeps died from inhaling all the soot and dust of the chimney, which caused them to suffocate and choke to death.
Soot's plural is soot.
Black soot with electric baseboard heat could be a sign of dust or debris burning on the heating element. Ensure the baseboard heater is clean and free from any obstructions. If the issue persists, have a professional inspect the heater for any potential malfunctions.
