When these storms move over land, they affect the air people breathe. The particles hang in the air and create haze. Visibility drops. Local weather stations often issue health warnings.

Breathing dust can cause problems. It may trigger asthma, irritate lungs, or worsen heart conditions. Even people far from the desert feel the impact. These storms can reach Europe, the Caribbean, or the Americas.
