Effect of Dust Storm on Phytoplankton Productivity in Arabian Sea
Abstract: Dust storm plays an important role as it triggers phytoplankton in the ocean by adding nutrients. In the present study, an attempt has been made to understand the role and relation between dust storm and phytoplankton concentration. Chlorophyll-a concentrations are an indicator of phytoplankton abundance and its biomass. Satellite data gives daily information on Chlorophyll-a concentration and so as phytoplankton abundance in the ocean as well as information about dust …

Anti-Soiling Coating Technologies for PV Panels Under Dust Storm Conditions
Abstract: Background: Deployment of photovoltaics (PV) in arid and semi-arid areas where there is ample sunlight has been increasing quickly because of their high solar irradiation. The rising number of dust storms, as well as depositing particulate matter into the air, has caused a significant decrease in energy production due to reduced transmittance of light through the surface of the PV panel from the dust on the panel’s surface. This has …

Climate Change and Respiratory Allergy
Abstract: Climate change, a global issue, directly and indirectly impacts human health while posing a significant threat to animals and ecosystems. As part of the exposome, it influences various factors like seasonality, production, and the distribution of airborne allergens due to rising carbon dioxide levels and temperatures. These environmental changes also contribute to increased epithelial permeability, microbial imbalances, and heightened allergic reactions to pollen and fungal spores. Earth’s average surface temperature, …
