Much of the American Southwest comprises of desert, where about 12 million people live. Population increase and global climate change will cause drastic changes over the next 20 years, expanding the desert, causing larger, more frequent, and more severe sand dust storms. Airborne particulate matter is known to have health consequences within the respiratory system. Studies regarding the effects of Asian sand dust found an increase in hospital visits for respiratory associated distress. Additional evidence suggests dust storms increase inflammation and allergic airway responses in murine models. Black Rock Desert in Nevada is known to have large dust storms. Each year 50,000 people gather together for one week in this desert for an event cal...
