Title: Seasonal color spectrophotometric variation of dust sample within Kuwait
Biography
Biography: Mustafa Al-Shamali
Abstract
Kuwait is well known for its long-term occurring dust storms and the various color patterns that come along with them. Determining the spectrophotometric color variation of dust samples plays an important role in estimating the chemical and biological content of the dust in the dust collector. Dust content can have a negative effect on life species sometimes. In this study, an identity model was established for the dust collector during the various seasons of the year by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR), while ultraviolet and visible region (UV-VIS) was used to find the maximum absorption for each color. The mid infrared was sediment color in Kuwait, but some were done on a regional-scale such as Al Ruba’, Al Khaali, and Al Dibdibba. Therefore, there is a certain need to start a much broader investigation regarding sediment color in Kuwait.
