Dust and Other Air Pollutants
Dust
Seminal article about African dust and the effects on Caribbean coral reefs. African dust can carry heavy metals, pesticides, fungi, and bacteria, and may contribute to coral disease:
Shinn, Eugene A., et al. "African dust and the demise of Caribbean coral reefs." Geophysical Research Letters 27.19 (2000): 3029-3032.
