Mass distribution of the interplanetary dust is reexamined taking into account bulk density distribution of the dust and larger particles. It can be shown that the mass index of particles depends on the evolutionary stage of the population and changes along the mass scale. The flattening of the mass distribution at the higher mass range may explain the problem of the equilibrium between the source and sink of the interplanetary dust.
