In 2368, after an attempt to release carbon dioxide from inside the planet Penthara IV and into the atmosphere, unanticipated volcanic activity released more particulates into the atmosphere, which worsened weather problems brought upon by an asteroid impact. ()

In 2370, quark gave a "medicinal brew" to Julian Bashir which turned out to be an anesthetic that contained a number of ingredients, including grain particulates. ()

When the Caretaker's array was destroyed in 2371, the debris was scanned and found to be particulate dust and metallic fragments composed of an unknown alloy, as well as vapor composed of hydrogen, helium, , and argon.
