In this paper we demonstrate how the action of secular resonances near the inner edge of the asteroid belt strongly effects the inclinations and eccentricities of asteroidal dust particles, such that they lose the orbital characteristics of their parent body and are dispersed into the zodiacal background. As a consequence, it may not be possible to relate the distribution of interplanetary material at 1 AU to given asteroidal or cometary sources with the level of confidence previously imagined.
