I suggesting removing this entry and linking Asian dust to mineral dust; the mineral dust article already incorporates the important points of the Asian dust article. Waiting for feedback. Marenco 08:55, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure that's a good idea. Although mineral dust is an impressive article with lots of room to grow, it would seem best for that article to cover the general phenomenon of mineral dust and its effects on health and the environment... Methinks that article should deal with particular dust phenomena only in summary style, leaving the details for other articles. There is more than enough encyclopedic information out there about Asian dust, and no doubt about Sahara dust as well, to easily fill a full-length article (or several). -- Visviva 09:45, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Ok, then leaving Asian dust where it is. I will shorten in Mineral dust the details repeated from Asian dust. Marenco 15:59, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

This is a natural disaster caused by human's development and desire to further improve lifestyle. I am not saying it's wrong to desire comfort and convenience; but I just hope, people should leave space and respect to our nature and stop picking on those things which could damage us.

"In the last decade or so, it has become a serious problem due to industrial pollutants (previously not a threat)" What does this mean? I think industrial pollutants have always been a problem. Are we saying the dust contains industrial pollutants or that the pollutants are increasing desertification? --Gbleem 23:43, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

I changed words around so it should now look better. --Revth (talk) 04:47, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
