Saharan dust reaches East Texas, posing respiratory risks; Baylor College advises precautions.

Saharan dust from the Sahara Desert reaches East Texas via dryer air transport across the Atlantic Ocean, posing respiratory risks. The Baylor College of Medicine advises staying indoors, wearing masks outdoors, using HEPA filters, and seeking medical advice for breathing difficulties. Saharan dust can limit tropical development and is expected to increase in East Texas following Hurricane Beryl's exit.
