I don't think dust can actually accumulate to an inch thick. I think that the dust would slowly settle on itself compressing into a layer of filth. Can dust actually colect to an inch thick?

YES IT CAN. In old public buildings in places that are inconvienient to clean I have seen dust even thicker. Does not look like it even takes that long, depending on the traffic the building gets. bleh.. .

When the dust settled after Mt St. Helens blew ........ that was ash but isn't ash just another kind of dust? I thinkit accumulated to more than an inch thick in some locations.
And maybe we should check with Neil Armstrong and the thickness of moon ash. (Yeah, yeah. That's the moon with only one twelfth the gravity of Earth. Or is it one sixth?)

Yes, if left undisturbed long enough.
A couple of months ago I opened a cabinet that I hadn't opened since the year before- and the dust was so thick I nearly had to cough. Needless to say, I grabbed a dust rag!

But after a while won't the layer of filth be an inch thick.

If there is a lot of dust in the air then yes.
