Article Synopsis
- The paper examines the characteristics of dust particles from a 2009 dust storm in Gold Coast and Brisbane, highlighting their environmental implications due to increasing dust storm frequency linked to climate change and human activities.
- The storm contributed a substantial amount of fine particles, with notable increases in total suspended solids, yet exhibited low organic carbon content despite passing over forested areas.
- Common metals like aluminium, iron, and manganese were predominant in the dust, with little presence of heavy metals typically found in urban pollution, indicating that chromium and zinc may have origins from local human activities.
