description <p dir="ltr"><u>Indoor air quality</u> (IAQ) in arid regions faces unique challenges, including dust infiltration, reliance on energy-intensive cooling systems, and inadequate filtration technologies. This study examines the factors contributing to compromised IAQ, such as <u>particulate matter</u> from dust storms and cultural practices like incense burning, while highlighting innovative solutions like biodegradable air filters, passive cooling designs, and advanced insulation. Through a synthesis of recent studies, it underscores the need for tailored policies, technological advancements, and community engagement to address IAQ challenges and enhance health outcomes in <u>arid environments</u>.</p><h2>Other Information</h2><p dir="ltr">Published in: Current Opinion in Environmental Science & Health<br>License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" target="_blank">http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a><br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.coesh.2025.100610" target="_blank">https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.coesh.2025.100610</a></p>
