According to Sputnik, French scientists have revealed, after six exploratory expeditions of the search for dust, that the total annual flow of fine meteorites and their small grains represents 5,200 tons annually, far ahead of the larger objects of meteorites whose volume of flow is less than ten tons annually.

Scientists explained that they conducted numerical simulations to determine the origin of this dust and concluded that the vast majority of 80 percent came from short-lived comets and the rest from asteroids expelled from the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. They also proved that the ocean snow is indeed "very pure", which means that it is Almost free of dust on the floor.
