Measurement of particulate matter concentration from dust storms and its relationship with interleukin 6 in healthy individuals in Zahedan
Background & Aim: Dust storms have detrimental effects on human health, the environment and the economy. Epidemiological research shows an association between air pollution and increased mortality from cardiovascular complications. Interleukins play key roles in production of inflammatory responses. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between PM10 and interleukin 6 in health...
متن کاملDust Bowl 3 Drought and dust storms
A farmer and his two sons during a dust storm in Cimarron County, Oklahoma, 1936, Photo: Arthur Rothstein The Dust Bowl, or the Dirty Thirties, was a period of severe dust storms causing major ecological and agricultural damage to American and Canadian prairie lands in the 1930s, particularly in 1934 and 1936. The phenomenon was caused by severe drought coupled with decades of extensive farming...
متن کاملThe Temporal Analysis of Dust Storms in Khoramabad Synoptic Station
In this study, the changes in the Khorramabad storm in the period of 1952 to 2015 have been investigated. For this purpose, data from meteorological codes 06 and 07 were received from the Meteorological Organization of the country, and after identifying the days of winding with dust storms and calculating their monthly frequency, monthly, seasonal and annual time series were analyzed. In this s...
متن کاملDust Storms: Schwartz's Response
Coarse Particles and Dust Storm Mortality In a paper titled "Episodes of High Coarse Partide Concentrations Are Not Associated with Increased Mortality," Schwartz et al. (1) concluded that "coarse particles from windblown dust are not associated with mortality risk." The authors seem to have overlooked the medical literature on the health effects of the historic U.S. dust storms of the dust bow...
متن کاملDust storms and ephemeral lakes
In drylands, both dust storms and ephemeral salt lakes (playas) are common. Observations using remote sensing and ground studies have shown that these playas can be major sources of saline dust storms. Some basins have recently become desiccated as a result of water abstraction by humans, and these have become significant sources of dust. The timing and amounts of dust emissions depends on such...
