Abstract

The total suspended particulate (TSP) levels in Beer-Sheva situated in a semi-arid area with winds bringing in dust from the surrounding deserts, was measured 41 times between June 1977 and May 1978. The TSP levels are correlated with climatic conditions. High TSP levels (890+/-250 microgramme m-3) were found during Sharav conditions and sandstorms (hot, dry weather, typical to this region).-from Authors Dept Nuclear Eng, Ben-Gurion Univ of the Negev, Beer-Sheva, POB 653, Israel.
