Question Air Filters and Front Break Dust?

Does anyone have any sense of how much dust from the front break pads ends up on the air filter elements? I am very impressed by how quickly my BMC air filter element gets covered with a fine black material. It seems like the same sort of material that I wipe off of the car body behind the front and rear wheels. I dont know what else in my normal driving patterns that could come up with blackish deposits on the filter element within a few hundred miles of driving. Any ideas?
