English term or phrase: airborne debris
Kann man das auch als herumfliegende Fremdkörper übersetzen? In diesem Fall kann man ja schlecht von Trümmern sprechen

This evolution also applies to off-highway equipment operating in environments with a great deal of dust, dirt or airborne debris, such as construction machines, forestry machines, farming machines, waste and recycling machines. This type of equipment draws in a lot of airborne dirt in the engine cooling system clogging the air intake; resulting in the risk of the engine being overheated due to the radiator or cooler being plugged with debris

neutral  Sabine Schlottky: Teilchen ist OK, Schutt geht aber nicht, da zu schwer. Wenn schon, dann umher fliegende Schuttpartikel oder -teilchen.
25 mins
agree  Rolf Kern: Bin für die Teilchen, nicht für den Schutt und auch nicht für den Staub, der ja 2 Wörter vorher genannt wird. Vielleicht Partikel statt feste Teilchen.

neutral  Johannes Gleim: Schutt kann nicht schweben.

Im Zusammenhang ist am ehesten an bei der Waldarbeit entstehende Späne und Holzstaub zu denken.

neutral  wolfheart: Von Trümmern habe ich auch nicht gesprochen - der Staub steht bereits zwei Wörter davor, also ist damit kein Staub gemeint
3 hrs
  -> Trümmer sind es jedenfalls auch nicht. // gemeint war "in der Luft schwebender Schutt"
