In this book, the authors present current research in the study of the sources, environmental concerns and control of dust. Topics discussed in this compilation include the characterisation of heavy metals content in attic dust from copper ore and ferronickel smelter processing plants in Macedonia; dust control in the mining industry of Australia; the health and environmental effects of dust storms in the Arabian Peninsula; dust fallout and its potential hazard on public health in Kuwait; photochemical and climate implications of airborne dust and assessing the quality of the urban environment by the elemental concentrations of foliage dust.
