Quantification of the inhaled deposited dose during sand and dust storms
(2023) In Emerging Contaminants and Associated Treatment Technologies p.17-30- Abstract
- Exposure to dust particles during a sand and dust storm (SDS) can be harmful for health. The first step to understand the health effects of such exposure is to quantify the amount of deposited dust particles in the respiratory tracts. In this book chapter, a brief summary is presented about: (1) the outbreak mechanisms dust particles and being airborne, (2) physical and chemical characteristics of dust particles, and (3) toxins and health effects of dust particles. This summary was followed by a simple description about the exposure pathways with a focus on the inhaled deposited dose in the respiratory tract. The regional inhaled deposited dose was quantified by a simple model. The simple dose model was applied to quantify the dose rate... (More)

This summary was followed by a simple description about the exposure pathways with a focus on the inhaled deposited dose in the respiratory tract. The regional inhaled deposited dose was quantified by a simple model. The simple dose model was applied to quantify the dose rate for adult males or females being exposed to dust particles (i.e., SDS scenario) and undergoing common activities (resting and exercising).
