The Killer Dust Storms Threatening The Middle East | Code Red

Dust storms are a global menace, but nowhere is the threat more pronounced than in the Middle East. This film investigates how human activity, from poor water management like dam building to the destruction caused by conflict, is turning this natural phenomenon into a catastrophic threat. Join scientists tracking the 2 to 5 billion metric tons of dust that sweep across the Earth every year, and see how NASA satellites are monitoring the problem. We explore the health crisis in cities like Kuwait, where fine PM10 particles lead to severe asthma attacks and are linked to premature deaths. Discover the surprising ways dust can fertilize rainforests and affect coral reefs. Crucially, we look at the practical solutions, from planting native, drought-tolerant plants to developing cutting-edge daily dust storm forecasts, that offer hope for managing this growing environmental and health crisis.
