Up in the Air: The Emerging Science of Dust and Sandstorm Microbes
On October 13, 2017, a sandstorm blew off the west coast of Africa, creating a plume of dust that stretched thousands of miles across the Atlantic Ocean and reached the Caribbean five days later. Each year, up to five billion tons of dust is ejected into the earth’s atmosphere, mostly from large deserts like the Sahara in Africa and the Gobi in Asia. Such dust plumes affect all regions of the planet, with some individual plumes even circling the globe. See it on Scoop.it, via Viruses, Immunology & Bioinformatics from Virology.uvic.ca
