Assessment of Radionuclide Activity (238U, 232Th, 40K) in Airborne Dust from Dust Storms in Wasit and Al-Qadissiya, Iraq

Indonesian Journal on Health Science and Medicine
In dry areas like Iraq, dust storms are a common occurrence that can have serious health effects on people.  The radioactivity of dust particles gathered in the air during recent dust storms in the Wasit and Al-Qadissiya Governorates is assessed in this study.

Observational evidence for active dust storms on Titan at equinox [PDF]

Nature Geoscience, 2018
Saturn’s moon Titan has a dense nitrogen-rich atmosphere, with methane as its primary volatile. Titan’s atmosphere experiences an active chemistry that produces a haze of organic aerosols that settle to the surface and a dynamic climate in which hydrocarbons are cycled between clouds, rain and seas.

Martian dust storm activity near the Mars 2020 candidate landing sites: MRO-MARCI observations from Mars years 28–34

Icarus, 2018
Abstract MRO-MARCI daily global mapping images from 16 November 2006 (Ls = 111.4°) through 15 July 2017 (Ls = 33.5°), covering portions of seven consecutive Martian years (MY 28 – MY 34), were used in a survey of dust storm activity within 2000 km radius of the final three candidate sites for the 2020 Mars Rover mission (Columbia Hills at 14.59° S ...

Effect of Source Areas Anthropogenic Activities on Dust Storm Occurrences in the Western Parts of Iran

Environmental Resources Research, 2014
Dust storm is one of the main global challenges that is more serious in the Middle- East. This phenomenon causes a lot of environmental and socio- economic problems in Iran and several other Middle-Eastern countries. A Hybrid Single Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory (HYSPLIT) model was used for trajectory analysis in order to reconstruct the ...

Cyclones, tides, and the origin of a cross-equatorial dust storm on Mars [PDF]

, 2003
We investigate the triggering mechanism of a cross-equatorial dust storm observed by Mars Global Surveyor in 1999. This storm, which had a significant impact on global mean temperatures, was seen in visible and infrared data to commence with the ...

The impact of dust storms on the Arabian Peninsula and the Red Sea [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2015
Located in the dust belt, the Arabian Peninsula is a major source of atmospheric dust. Frequent dust outbreaks and some 15 to 20 dust storms per year have profound effects on all aspects of human activity and natural processes in this region. To quantify

Chemical characteristics and source apportionment of particulate matter (PM2.5) in Dammam, Saudi Arabia: Impact of dust storms

Atmospheric Environment: X, 2022
Atmospheric particulate matter (PM) is known to be harmful to human and environmental health, with factors including particle size and composition thought to be key drivers of toxicity. Understanding the composition and hence sources of PM is critical to
