“…In both Mansoria and Ali Sabah Al-Salem, during all months, the concentrations of PM10 during days with dust storms were significantly higher than that during days without dust storms. An Arabian Peninsula study (2018) [27] and an Indian study (2017) [28] reported high PM10 concentrations during dust storms' episodes owing to large distance travels of particulate matters.…”

Ozone and particulate matter (PM), PM 10 and PM 2.5 , were monitored along with meteorological parameters at a semi-urban location, Patiala, in the northwestern Indo-Gangetic plain from December 2013 to November 2014. The annual mean concentration levels of PM 10 , PM 2.5 and ozone were recorded as 178 μg m −3 , 88 μg m −3 and 39 ppb, which also exceeded the national standards on a 24-h average basis, by 77.3% (335 days), 53.2% (338 days) and 20 days, respectively. High levels of PM (PM 10 and PM 2.5) were observed in winter (58-381 and 42-270 μg m −3) and in the post-monsoon (71-320 and 39-320 μg m −3) season and a rise in the level of ozone was observed in summer (22-72 ppb) and in the post-monsoon season (23-73 ppb), respectively. The rate of ozone production was the highest during the post-harvest fire period (3.94 ppb O 3 /h in May and 4.23 ppb O 3 /h in November). A Pearson correlation study showed the strong dependency of PM and ozone on meteorological variables. Relative humidity has the highest ranking for ozone and PM 10 , while wind speed has the lowest rank for ozone, PM 10 and PM 2.5 in the order of factors affecting the level of pollutants. The generalised linear model and the neural network model (for ozone) and the random forest model (for PM) outperformed on the basis of performance indices and further cross-validation was done.

Background: Kuwait State is branded by the recurrent dust storms and high pollution level. It has the highest dust concentration and surface temperature in Peninsula. The aim of the present study was to assess the respirable particulates during days with and without dust storms in two residential areas in Kuwait State. Materials and Methods:This time-series comparative study was accomplished during the period from 1 January 2013 to 31 December 2013. It was conducted by recording the local meteorological data in the two sampling stations at Mansoria (A) and Ali Sabah Al-Salem (B) residential areas, in addition to the sampling and analysis of respirable particulates (PM10) using the SOP-10 High-Volume PM10 Samplers' Standard Method. Results: There were 256 and 278 measurement days (70.1 and 75.1% of the yearly days) in monitoring stations A and B, respectively, with a total of 119 (46.5%) and 134 (48.2%) days with dust storms, respectively. The daily concentrations of PM10 were higher than the National Ambient Air Quality Standards of Kuwait State (150 µg/m3) at the two stations. The annual PM10 concentration of B station [192.5 (264.5) µg/m3] was nonsignificantly higher than that of A [191.2 (182.7) µg/m3]. At the two stations, the levels of PM10 during days with dust storms were significantly higher than that during days without. Conclusion: Respirable particulate is slightly higher in Ali Sabah Al-Salem than in Mansoria. Days with dust storms have significantly greater PM10 levels than those without. The study recommends application of land-use planning, and windbreaks, combating desertification, and enhancing stoppage of outdoor activities during dust storms among public.
