Veterans who were deployed to the Persian Gulf, Afghanistan and other dusty environments were often exposed to sand, dust, and other airborne particulates.
Larger particles such as sand may become trapped in the nose and throat and expelled with coughing or sneezing.
Very small particles may cause more serious health problems such as chronic respiratory or cardiopulmonary conditions because they can be inhaled deep into the lungs and airways.
These extremely small particles and liquid droplets can include acids, chemicals, metals, soil or dust.
