Aerosols as Vectors for Contaminants: A Perspective Based on Outdoor Aerosol Data from Kuwait

Aerosols as Vectors for Contaminants: A Perspective Based on Outdoor Aerosol Data from Kuwait

The Middle East is a hot spot of dust, and there are reports of as much as 1400 µg m<sup>−3</sup> of dust in aerosols from Kuwait, which is among some of the highest dust loadings globally. A significant volume of literature has emerged on dust–air-quality–human-health, and the World Hea...
