Introduction The United Nations Emirate is a federation of seven emirates each governed by a hereditary emir and the president. UAE has been associated with political, industrial and cultural activities. It is worth noting that UAE is number six world wide in term of oil production having a well developed economy in West Asia (Chen, 2004). Additionally the federation is deemed to be in the list of the wealthiest countries having a per capital gross domestic product of USD 48, 600. Globally, it is ranked 30 th in Human Development Index and 15 th in purchasing power per capital on the Asian Continent (Hess-Kosa, 2002). In general its classification is that of a high-income developing economy. The literature review is a thorough examination of dust event and respiratory diseases in the region Dust Events in UAE As suggested by Anderson, et al., 2001 besides all the good economy, development, and the wealth in possession, the United Arab Emirates has been found to be seriously affected by ambient air representing serious hazardous pollutants. Between the years 2004 and 2005 a study by the ministry of health revealed that out of about 150,000 people who underwent treatment in public hospital every year, close to 90.0% were treated for diseases related to respiratory related health complications. In 2007, studies based on the UAE facilities indicated that more than 600 deaths had been caused by man-made air pollution (Husar, 2001). Health professional have established that very tiny particles are capable of finding their way into human respiratory tract posing the greatest danger to mankind (Achudume & Oladipo, 2009). According to the research conducted by the scientists from the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill in the United States, about over man-made air pollution the same claimed 609 live in 2007, 504 deaths were attributed to particulate matter (Brunekreef, 2005). Additionally, in 2007 approximately 60 people lost their lives due to complications related to ozone smog. This study is said to have been conducted using the most sophisticated mapping techniques that it is no doubt the research reflect the real situation of what is happening on the on the ground (Malig, 2009). The complications caused by the ozone exposure include diseases such as bronchitis and asthma, while those attributed to particulate matter pollutant include respiratory complications and the heart disease (Ko, 2007). Further studies carried out to analyze previous studies related to the relationship between the particulate matter pollution natural occurrence and how much it comes about as a result of human activities have established consistence about the findings. The results indicated that natural occurrence of dust storms are the main factor for lung diseases in the region (Ko, 2007). This is because United Arab Emirates is found in a desert region whereby sand and dust storms carrying millions of tinny airborne particles is rampant. Though to the lower level, man-made pollution such as industrial processes which involves the combustion of fossils-fuel in vehicles engines, refineries, and chemical composition are also a source of particulate matter pollution (Kanatani, 2010). While pollution is a known trigger to respiratory diseases, the doctor urges the patients not to engage in cigarette smoking habit
