This volume 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 why there is a 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 its harmful epidemiological impacts on human health, and the management and treatment options for the various health issues that can result from exposure. The book will be a useful resource for dust and health scientists, engineers and policy makers.
