Saharan dust levels in Greece and received inhalation doses

The desert of Sahara is one of the major sources of mineral dust on Earth, producing around 2&times;10<sup>8</sup> tons/yr. Under certain weather conditions, dust particles from Saharan desert get transported over the Mediterranean Sea and most of Europe. The limi...
