Prah je velik popotnik. Ni ni\u010d nenavadnega, da se tanka plast prahu iz afri\u0161ke pu\u0161\u010dave Sahara usede na parkirana vozila, ki so oddaljena tiso\u010de kilometrov.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A prah je lahko smrtonosen. Na suhih obrobjih Sahare (znanih kot Sahel) je 300 milijonov ljudi izpostavljenih nevarnosti smrtonosne bolezni, imenovane meningitis.<\/p>\n

Ta bolezen povzro\u010da oteklino mo\u017eganov in ovojnice hrbtenja\u010de. Tisti, ki zaradi nje ne umrejo, lahko utrpijo gluhost in po\u0161kodbe mo\u017eganov.<\/p>\n

\u201cIzbruhi meningitisa se pojavijo po obdobju brez de\u017eja, nizke vla\u017enosti in velike koli\u010dine prahu v zraku,\u201d je pojasnila Isabelle Jeanne iz Centra za medicinske in sanitarne raziskave v Nigerju.<\/p>\n

\"Dust
Prah, ki ga veter prina\u0161a iz Zahodne Sahare proti Kanarskim otokom<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Natan\u010dna povezava \u0161e ni znana. Ena od teorij pravi, da prah, ki ga razna\u0161a veter in je tako fin kot talk v prahu, povzro\u010da dra\u017eenje v nosu. Zaradi tega bakterije la\u017eje prodrejo v krvni obtok.<\/p>\n

ESA pomaga znanstvenikom pri raziskovanju in napovedovanju izbruhov meningitisa. Cilj je pridobiti ve\u010d znanja o smrtonosnih epidemijah, ki pogosto sledijo prihodu prahu.<\/p>\n

Medicinski raziskovalci uporabljajo satelitske posnetke za spremljanje ogromnih pra\u0161nih nevih, ki pusto\u0161ijo po Sahelu. Med zadnjo su\u0161no sezono je ESA v okviru sistema zgodnjega opozarjanja zagotavljala tedenske zemljevide pra\u0161nih nevih. Zemljevidi Sahela temeljijo na dnevnih posnetkih vremenskega satelita Meteosat-7, ki ga je zgradila ESA.<\/p>\n

Naslednji korak je preu\u010ditev posnetkov, posnetih v zadnjih 10 letih, in iskanje povezav med pra\u0161nimi nevihami in izbruhi te bolezni.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
