Dirtis any matter considered unclean, especially when in contact with a person's clothes, skin, or possessions. In such cases, they are said to become dirty.Common types of dirt include:
A season of artworks and exhibits on the theme of dirt was sponsored by the Wellcome Trust in 2011. The centrepiece was an exhibition at the Wellcome Collection showing pictures and histories of notable dirt such as the great dust heaps at Euston and King's Cross in the 19th century and the Fresh Kills landfill which was once the world's largest landfill.[3]
In a commercial setting, a dirty appearance gives a bad impression. An example of such a place is a restaurant. The dirt in such cases may be classified as temporary, permanent, and deliberate. Temporary dirt is streaks and detritus that may be removed by ordinary daily cleaning. Permanent dirt is ingrained stains or physical damage to an object, which requires major renovation to remove. Deliberate dirt is that which results from design decisions such as decor in dirty orange or grunge styling.[5]
As cities developed, arrangements were made for the disposal of trash through the use of waste management services. In the United Kingdom, the Public Health Act 1875 required households to place their refuse into a container that could be moved so that it could be carted away. This was the first legal creation of the dustbin.[6]
Modern society is now thought to be more hygienic. Lack of contact with microorganisms in dirt when growing up is hypothesised to be the cause of the epidemic of allergies such as asthma.[7] The human immune system requires activation and exercise in order to function properly and exposure to dirt may achieve this.[8] For example, the presence of staphylococcus bacteria on the surface of the skin regulates the inflammation which results from injury.[9]
Even when no visible dirt is present, contamination by microorganisms, especially pathogens, can still cause an object or location to be considered dirty. For example, computer keyboards are especially dirty as they contain on average 70 times more microbes than a lavatory seat.[10]
People may become obsessed by dirt and engage in fantasies and compulsive behaviour about it, such as making and consuming mud pies and pastries.[12] The source of such thinking may be genetic, as the emotion of disgust is common and the location for this activity in the brain has been proposed.[13]
RAY AND I have been married for eleven years as of this summer. The rest of the world may experience me as the kind of person who makes decisions boldly and quickly, but for more than a decade, the reason I can do so is partly because Ray is at home patiently listening while I decide which way the wind is going to blow.
We were married on the summer solstice, what most people think of as the longest day of the year but which some might say is the moment when the darkness starts to beat out the light. Getting married on a potently symbolic day for the planet helps us keep balance in perspective.
MY JOB in this project was now to call the landscaping company and arrange delivery of the elements that would help us take our next steps. This I eventually did. Without consulting the weather report, or Ray.
For several years after we moved to Colorado, my parents, who have been married fifty-five years this summer, made a habit of pointing out that when I talked about our new home, I tended to say my garden, my bedroom, my house. They suggested that I needed to think more carefully about how I use pronouns, as none of these spaces should be considered mine alone. This, they said, is one of the keys to sustaining a healthy and loving relationship. You need to include the other. My parents insisted that I should be thinking in terms of our garden, our bedroom, our home. They are correct, and I try, but too often I forget, and I slip back into thinking about what serves me alone. I was ready for the soil, and so I called for the soil, and so the soil arrived.
The duck incident, as we still call it, was a deciding factor in how my husband and I have learned to love each other. The duck incident may be one of the reasons that yesterday we had to figure out a fix for all that mulch and soil just delivered to our house in the university town in Northern Colorado where we were trying to build a more locally supportive environment, though neither of us truly knew what to do with the weather, the flora, or the unforgiving, hard, clay dirt.
We pulled the tarps over the two piles, secured them with some broken floor tiles left over from our bathroom renovation, remaindered scraps of wood flooring, and odd pieces of lumber we found in the garage. Then, with maybe thirty minutes to spare before his class started, we got in our one car, and my husband drove us both to our jobs at the university.
