نوع فایل:PDF تعداد صفحات :13 سال انتشار : 1394 چکیده Recently the Khuzestan province in southwest of Iran is affected by duststorm phenomena and makes some problems in agriculture, Transportation, Communication and human health side effect in this province. Mineralogy, Geochemistry of particles and Geo- Environmental characteristics of trace elements is very important for detecting of major pollutant. The collected dust samples were analyzed for grain size, mineralogy, and chemical composition. The dust is predominantly Aluminosilicates (clay minerals and feldspars), quartz and carbonates with minor amounts of gypsum. The particles are mostly sub-rounded to sub-angular and generally between 5 to 02 μm in size. XRD studies show that calcite and quartz...
