White Dust on the 787 Glareshield

Boeing has received reports from some 787 operators regarding some suspect white dust present on the Dreamliner glare shield .Any info on the source of the dust?

Clearly cocaine. I've seen a documentary about it. It was called "Flight" I think.

Surely it's due to flying through chemtrails?

Certain plastic containing materials tend to collect dust, white, gray, even black and you are told never to wash them because they will collect even more faster, Oh, wait, those are certain parts of my wife's Dyson sweeper, sorry…

Could be caused by the humidifier which leave a white coating on some panels in the 747-400. Just a guess.
