    Abstract This book discusses the sources, human health hazards and risk prevention strategies associated with aeolian dust particles (fine and ultrafine) in the atmosphere. It covers the challenges of accurately forecasting aeolian dust and the need to raise public awareness on the warning signs and harmful impacts of airborne dust. Also discussed is the presence of microorganisms, heavy metals and other pollutants in dust which contributes to harmful impacts on human health as well as management and treatment options for the various health issues that can result from exposure. The book is a useful resource for scientists, engineers and policymakers interested in dust and health.

    Abstract In desert areas, some challenges have the prospective to reduce photovoltaic energy production. These are the creation of finely crusted carbonates and/or mud coatings resulted from fallen aerosols and dust during humid conditions. These challenges that greatly affect solar panel planes, as well as wind turbines, were allocated to accomplish the practicability to establish wind and/or photovoltaic energy systems in Kuwait. It was concluded that solar cells are not the best appropriate energy source in Kuwait due to the above-listed challenges; therefore, substitute renewable energy types are considered more practicable. After one year of operation at photovoltaic units and wind turbines in Kuwait, the outcomes show that wind turbines record production energy numbers that go beyond the production average. This was connected with high capacity factors during one year, consequential in an annual power production that is 2.3 times greater than that of solar panels; running 450 homes compared to 199 homes for photovoltaic (PV). Bubiyan Island and west of Kuwait are the most suitable potential location for wind farm establishment. Several control measures including the establishment of green belts and plantation of native shrubs were found proper in reducing dust by 64.5% and 68.4, respectively.

    Abstract The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is a global health crisis and biggest challenge facing the world. Station measurements of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) concentration in Baghdad and Kuwait during the period January-July 2020 are analyzed as well as assessment of correlation between PM2.5, weather conditions (air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed), population density and COVID-19 morbidity and mortality. A significant improvement (decrease) has observed during total and partial curfew in PM2.5 at Baghdad by 35%, 12.4%, respectively, from PM2.5 mean during the study period that is less than the WHO recommended PM2.5 level especially in total curfew. This decrease in PM2.5 pollution and people's mobility in Baghdad at total and partial curfew contributed to decrease injuries and mortality. PM2.5 during total and partial curfew in Kuwait country witnessed increasing by 38.4% and decreasing by 22.3% from the PM2.5 mean, respectively, but still higher than WHO standard level. This increase in PM2.5 at total curfew was related to burning accidents in the oil wells which caused increasing in PM2.5 pollutant and then an increase in number of injuries and mortality during that time. In general during all study period our research found that PM2.5 and wind speed exhibit weak relation with COVID-19 morbidity and mortality but strong relation with increasing temperature and decreasing humidity. The high population density had a good association with increasing daily new cases, mortality due to COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, these factors may be taken into consideration in policy development for the control and prevention of new chains of the Coronavirus pandemic.

    Abstract Sand and dust storms (SDS) is a common weather phenomenon in the Middle East. Topography and the northern or northwesterly wind are the main control factors for types of SDS trajectories. The main SDS corridors in the Middle East were classified and spotted from March 2000 to March 2017. The SDS can be classified in the region in accordance to shape and magnitude into three main types namely; Small with 3 subtypes (Arrow shape-straight, Arrow shape-curved and Needle like), Intermediate with 3 subtypes (Curved, Hook and Straight), and Extensive with 6 subtypes (Spiral, Agglomerated-Dense, Agglomerated-Dispersed, Wavy, Hook-Single head, and Hook-multiple heads). Most of the trajectories are located within the northeastern parts of the Middle East. Dust properties led us to sort SDS and their indications. Dust deposits in the eastern Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea and are initiated from Northern Desert of Africa (NDA). On the other hand, dust deposits in the Middle East originate from NDA, Western Desert of Iraq (WD), Mesopotamian Flood Plain (MFP), Ahwaz (HZ), Ahwar (HR) and Baluchistan Desert (BSH). The deposited dust in coastal areas is categorized as trimodal particle size distribution, finer mean size fractions with higher values of particles surface area and contains more carbonates and less quartz percentages compared to fallen dust in inland regions which is dominantly initiated from Western Desert of Iraq (WD), Nafud Desert (NFD) and Empty Quarter (EQ).
