The amount of dust in the world's air worsened in 2022, the United Nations said on Thursday, as it called for more research into how climate change may increase sandstorm hotspots.
The UN's World Meteorological Organization said the slight rise was due to increased emissions from west-central Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, the Iranian Plateau and northwestern China.
The annual WMO report looked at the incidence and hazards of dust storms and their impact on society. "Much of this is a natural process, but a large part of it is the result of poor water and land management." The severe dust storm over the Middle East in May which "dramatically reduced the visibility all over the region" and the cropland dust storm in the eastern United States that month were also detailed.
