Short summary
The Middle East capitals are subjected to numerous dust storms along with local emissions and/or those transported from biomass burning or industrial activities. A combination of these aerosols results in poor air quality and poses significant health hazards. We investigated the transport of aerosols and their impact on the air quality using different parameters derived from the AERONET ground observations.
