Full TextAbstract
The mineralogical composition of airborne dust changes depending on the mineralogy of the source area. The presence of specific minerals could be used as a tool to trace the sources of dust particles and this mineral may then be suggested as an origin-tracer. In other words, dust reflects the mineralogical composition of the source locations (Menendez et al., 2007; Lawrence and Neff 2009; Scheuvens et al., 2013). The objective of this study was to determine the mineralogy of airborne dust in Khorasan Razavi Province and find the relationship of spring and winter dust mineralogy with the loose Tertiary and Quaternary sediments occurring in the possible source areas.
