  7. Abstract:
  8. Dust phenomenon is a combination of tiny particle with urban pollution that it is harmful for respiratory disease. But this phenomenon has been prevalent in our country recently. We utilized NASA satellite pictures to observe dust storms in the present project. We have collected images of possible sources of dust on the days when we are faced with the dust storm phenomenon. Then by processing of NASA satellite pictures (recognition of distribution of optical and particle density in the dust particle arising and comparing results through analysis of these images to estimate the main characteristics of the sampling locations). we have find the desired location for taking samples of soil Also is the air sampler in Andimeshk city We can find possible source of dust storm through comparing the result of between soil sample and dust particle. We have analysis samples by Neutron Activation Analysis and compare results by procedure of data classification. The main source of this phenomenon in the desert and marshes are drying Iraq, the region of South East Syria, northern Saudi Arabia and North Africa as well as dry region between the cities of Ahvaz and Bandare mahshahr in the Khuzestan province and some areas of the western regions
