Climate scientists said that particles per cubic metre of air was 10 micrograms on a normal day, 500 when there&#39;s a bushfire and yesterday it rocketed to 15,400 micrograms. <a href="http://www.abc.net.au/unleashed/stories/s2695471.htm">www.abc.net.au/.../s2695471.htm</a><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/132091?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 24 Sep 2009 07:08:38 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:77b55653-f865-478c-bcc2-64a0db704b1fMidasSetting aside the dust storm, man is that a cool pool location or what!<div style="clear:both;"></div>
