Health Alerts Issued as Dust Storms Impact Bahrain, UAE Regions

Health experts in Bahrain are warning the public about the dangers posed by ongoing dust storms, particularly for individuals with respiratory conditions such as asthma. Professor Mohamed Abdel Ghaffar highlighted a rise in emergency room visits related to asthma attacks attributed to increased dust exposure, urging people to limit outdoor activities. Concurrently, in the UAE, the National Centre of Meteorology has issued an orange dust storm alert for several regions, advising motorists to exercise caution due to reduced visibility and recommending that residents secure their homes against dust infiltration. Dusty weather with strong winds is expected to persist across the region, with temperatures ranging between 32°C and 37°C in the UAE. Similar conditions are anticipated in other areas, including Nebraska, where air quality alerts are in effect due to particulate pollution, affecting sensitive groups. Overall, the public is encouraged to take protective measures as dust storms continue to impact health and safety across multiple regions.
