Talk:Dust storm

message: I was wondering what the types of sand storms there are. In one of your aricles, you say that there are three types: Creep, Siltation, and Suspension. However, you do not list what makes them different, nor any examples. I want to see pictures or some other link to a web site that DOES have pictures. You really need to work on this page. 
Thanks.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.10.42.43 (talk) 20:37, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

message: I was just wondering if anyone knows how long a sandstorm/dust storm can last. It should be in the article anyway. --2tothe4 01:24, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

message: That first paragraph is just way too long. I might be able to look at it later and see what I can do with it. SuperCow 00:00, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

message: This article needs some major work, especially if it's rated as high importance within an associated wikiproject.  How about some information regarding duration (as noted above), frequency of occurance, long term effects, effects on culture & region, etc... /Blaxthos 17:33, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Much good info can be gleaned from the ref. I just posted.  It will take time to input and footnote from this work.  There are surprisingly few other such ref's online. Tmangray 18:34, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Schlesinger, Pnina | Mamane, Yaacov* | Grishkan, Isabella
Transport of microorganisms to Israel during Saharan dust events
Aerobiologia [Aerobiologia]. Vol. 22, no. 4, pp. 259-273. Dec 2006. 
... On a spring clear day, the persisting airborne fungi were Alternaria alternata, Geotrichum candidum, Penicillium chrysogenum, and P. glabrum. However, during two dust events the fungal population was dominated by Alternaria alternata, Aspergillus fumigatus, A. niger, A. thomii, Cladosporium cladosporioides, Penicillium chrysogenum, and P. griseoroseum. This study suggests that Saharan and other desert dust events in the East Mediterranean have a significant effect on the airborne microbial populations, which might impact on health, agriculture, and ecology.

thread_title:  Saharan dust storms carry mold, including Aspergillus and others 

message: Shinn, Griffin, Seba
Atmospheric transport of mold spores in clouds of desert dust
 
:"Fungal spores can be transported globally in clouds of desert dust. Many species of fungi (commonly known as molds) and bacteria--including some that are human pathogens--have characteristics suited to long-range atmospheric transport. Dust from the African desert can affect air quality in Africa, Europe, the Middle East, and the Americas. Asian desert dust can affect air quality in Asia, the Arctic, North America, and Europe. Atmospheric exposure to mold-carrying desert dust may affect human health directly through allergic induction of respiratory stress. In addition, mold spores within these dust clouds may seed downwind ecosystems in both outdoor and indoor environments."  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.165.11.105 (talk) 23:58, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

message: New section needed on health effects
the health effects can effect anyone. But most of all it effects people like pregnant women and people with heart or lung conditions.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.195.9.234 (talk) 16:51, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

message: Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that :File:Redsea sandstorm May13-2005.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on July 30, 2011. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2011-07-30. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks! howcheng  {chat} 17:03, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

message: I fell like the gallery doesn't do much to inform the reader about dust storm and i wold like to remove it also i believe that the section "Dust storm visibility of 1/4 mile or less, or meters or less" and "Noble dust storm" should be removed or given a separate article. if i don't receive an answer in a day i will go ahead with the changes.--Jeffrd10 (talk) 16:12, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The keywords "black blizzard" redirect here. However, unlike the page "Dust Bowl", this page does not contain the whole term. So to redirect here is not really helpful. Should this page be extended to either shortly explain the term, or to at least offer a link to the "Dust Bowl" page with they keywords "black blizzard"? 88.113.105.202 (talk) 19:20, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
