Dust Storm Sweeps Across UAE
National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) alerts residents over thick dust clouds that reduced visibility to less than 1300 meters in Abu Dhabi and other parts of UAE.
NCM Said: “The weather will be partly cloudy in general and hazy at times, with moderate winds of 12-26km/h to blow across internal areas”.
Dust storms can contain particulate matter, which can be a serious threat to human health if it accumulates in the respiratory system. Dust particles can lead to respiratory problems, particularly for people with asthma. … Breathing a lot of dust over a long period of time may cause chronic breathing and lung problems.
