Carl Sagan once described Earth as a ‘small speck of dust’, a seemingly insignificant tiny particle. But dust has
incredible power: it is known to influence monsoons, hurricanes and even fertilize rainforests. A new study now
details how dust coming from the deserts in the West, Central and East Asia plays an important role in the Indian
Summer Monsoon.
The researchers also explain how the Indian Summer Monsoon has a reverse effect and can increase the winds in
West Asia to produce yet more dust. Dust swarms from the desert when lifted by strong winds can absorb solar
radiation and become hot. This can cause heating of the atmosphere, change the air pressure, wind circulation
patterns, influence moisture transport and increase precipitation and rainfall. A strong monsoon can also transport
air to West Asia and again pick up a lot of dust. The researchers say this is a positive feedback loop. Lead author
ECGC PO 2021 Previous Year Paper
Qinjian Jin explains a new hypothesis formulated by the team. According to him, not just the dust from the Middle
East [West Asia], the Iranian Plateau also influences the Indian Summer Monsoon. The hot air over the Iranian
Plateau can heat the atmosphere over the plateau, strengthen the circulation over the deserts of the Arabian
Peninsula and increase dust emission from the Middle East [West Asia]. He also explains how deserts across the
globe play important roles in monsoons. The dust aerosols from deserts in West China such as the Taklamakan
desert and the Gobi Desert can be transported eastward to eastern China and can influence the East Asia summer
monsoon. And in the southwest United States, some small deserts can influence the North African monsoon.
When asked if anthropogenic dust from vehicles, mining, construction can influence monsoons, he explained that
some studies have found that the anthropogenic aerosols emitted from the Indian subcontinent can decrease
summer monsoon precipitation, while others found that absorbing aerosols such as dust can strengthen the
monsoon circulation. However, in their study, they used the carbon model to simulate the impact of anthropogenic
aerosols on India and the results showed that they can strengthen Indian summer monsoon rainfall. The findings
But why is it important to study dust? Many studies have shown that the dust emission scheme is extremely
sensitive to climate change and the team writes that understanding these mechanisms and effects of dust will
help understand the monsoon systems in the face of global climate change. The team has now planned to study
the minor components of desert dust aerosols. They used to think that dust from deserts across the globe will
have the same components, but now they know that different deserts have different chemical compositions and
this can influence the dust’s properties. For example, the dust from the Middle East [West Asia] has more
absorbing ability of solar radiation than dust from North Africa and this difference in absorbing ability might
influence monsoon systems. The researchers have also planned to use high spatial resolution remote sensing to
identify source regions and create a better dust emission map. Also, they would be studying new drying lakes and
how dust from them can also play a role in the monsoons.

the minor components of desert dust aerosols. They used to think that dust from deserts across the globe will
have the same components, but now they know that different deserts have different chemical compositions and
this can influence the dust’s properties. For example, the dust from the Middle East [West Asia] has more
absorbing ability of solar radiation than dust from North Africa and this difference in absorbing ability might
influence monsoon systems. The researchers have also planned to use high spatial resolution remote sensing to
identify source regions and create a better dust emission map. Also, they would be studying new drying lakes and
how dust from them can also play a role in the monsoons.
Question No. 60
(ii) The dust emission scheme being extremely sensitive to climate change is one reason the study of dust is
important.
(iii) The dust from North Africa has less absorbing ability of solar radiation than dust from West Asia.
(iv) The researchers would be studying new drying lakes and how dust from them can have negative impacts like
pollution.

ECGC PO 2021 Previous Year Paper
It is binding on a welfare state to take care of every single citizen. Securing the wellbeing of every one, particularly
those unable to help themselves, irrespective of whether they constitute a critical mass or not, is important. The
recent notification of the National Policy for Rare Diseases 2021 after various interventions, including the court, is
pegged on this principle of inclusion. A good start, it offers financial support for one-time treatment of up to ₹20
lakh, introduces a crowdfunding mechanism, creates a registry of rare diseases, and provides for early detection. In
its final form, however, the policy has left the rare diseases lobby sorely disappointed on a crucial note. Rare
diseases are broadly defined as diseases that infrequently occur in a population, and three markers are used — the
total number of people with the disease, its prevalence, and the availability/non-availability of treatment options.
WHO defines rare disease as having a frequency of less than 6.5-10 per 10,000 people. As per an estimate, there are
7,000 known rare diseases with an estimated 300 million patients in the world; 70 million are in India. According to
the Organization for Rare Diseases India, these include inherited cancers, autoimmune disorders, congenital
malformations, Hirschsprung’s disease, Gaucher disease, cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophies and Lysosomal
Much of the effort in the sector, from the medical side, has been to evolve formal definitions, in the hope that it
would support the development of and commercialisation of drugs for treatment, and improve funding for
research on rare diseases. Patient support groups have worked towards drumming up funding assistance for the
treatment — one time or continual. The notification of the Policy comes as a logical conclusion to a long-fought
battle, and yet, stops short of delivering the complete mandate. As per the Policy, diseases such as LSD for which
definitive treatment is available, but costs are prohibitive, have been categorised as Group 3. However, no funding
has been allocated for the immediate and lifelong treatment needs, for therapies already approved by the Drugs
Controller General of India. Experts point out that the costs to help already-diagnosed patients might be in the
range of ₹80-₹100 crore annually. If the Centre can extend the cost-sharing agreements that it has worked out
with Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, with other States too, its share of the annual costs will be halved. The
Centre can, however, still set aside a substantial corpus to fund life-saving treatments, even as it rolls out the
policy. Doing so will not only complete a job well begun — even if not yet half done — but also cement its
