July 12 is Int'l Day of Combating Sand and Dust Storms
Sand and dust storms (SDS) present a formidable and wide-spread challenge to achieving sustainable development in its economic, social and environmental dimensions.
* Approximately 2 million tonnes of sand and dust enter the atmosphere annually.
* SDS mostly occur in dry and desert regions, but can be carried long distances to impact regions much further away.
* Dust particles, circulated by SDS, provide nutrients to marine ecosystems, but can also contribute to coral mortality and hurricane formation.
* SDS can cause respiratory diseases, heart disorders, and eye and skin irritation and can also spread other diseases, such as meningitis.
* Aviation and ground transportation can be disrupted by SDS.
* Agricultural practices and productivity can be impacted by SDS, which can also contribute to desertification processes.
* Sustainable water and land management practices can decrease the impacts of SDS.
