The annual average number of dusty days due to dust storms or rising dust or suspended dust in Kuwait is 255.4 (70% of the year). 67 dust collectors were installed in 47 sites all over Kuwait. 6 of these sites contain 4 collectors for radionuclide collection. The monitoring of dust fallout and associated pollen was conducted for 2 years from September 2009 to August 2011. The sites were morphologically described and the locations were identified by the Global Positioning System. (GPS). Also, minerals, trace elements, grain size and statistical parameters, surface area, pollen and radionuclide maps were produced. The highest dust depositional rates were detected within the Huwaimilyah-Wafra Wind Corridor, Sabiya and Bubiyan Island. The annual amount of dust in Kuwait varies from 10 to 1065 unit with an average of 278 t/sq.km. The year 2010-2011 was found more dusty compared to 2009-2010 by 43%. The socioeconomic eff...
