: The air was dry and warm and the skies over Dushanbe were grey without a hint of sun during another recent toxic sand storm that enveloped the capital of Tajikistan.
Tajikistan was ranked one of the top 10 most polluted countries in the world in the 2022 IQAir air quality index. “In the last few years I have been getting more and more patients with cardiovascular diseases,“ he told AFP, blaming fine particles from the storms. These types of storms used to be rare but they now start in spring and continue into the autumn in large parts of Central Asia.
The storms often start out in the dried-out stretches of the Aral Sea in Uzbekistan but also in the Kazakh steppes and in neighbouring Afghanistan.
