Just removed plater and lath from a 2nd floor room of my fram house. The house is 100+ years old.

Is the black dust that is in the raters "Coal Dust" or just called "coal dust" by uninformed home owners?

Maybe it is soot??? The house once had a coal furnace.

Pls advise, Thanks,

The black dust could be soot or coal dust, or both, since when you have a coal furnace the dust and soot get everywhere.
