Answers:
I have noticed that too. I think it is carbon (ash) from the factory. This is my best guess as it has all the characteristics of soot. It adheres to the plastic because plastic surfaces are films (think of the clingyness of Saran Wrap. It should come off with mild soap and water.
it might be grease on them, and then any dust in the air sticks to them... im not really sure
