Abstract
⺠Sistan in southeast of Iran, has extensive wind erosion with intense dust storms. ⺠Quartz, calcite, muscovite and plagioclase are main mineralogical components of dust. ⺠SiO2, CaO, Al2O3, Na2O, MgO and Fe2O3 are major elements of dust. ⺠Mineralogy and chemical compositions of airborne dust are similar to soil samples. ⺠Dust has rounded irregular, prismatic and rhombic shapes, with only finer particles.
