| I have been reading contradictory information on this. The wind usually comes from the north blowing south or vice versa? What do you think about the pollution? |

| Air pollution is high in the whole area. Dammam/Khobar/Dhahran is bad too - thoug there 95 percent of the filth in the air there comes from the Internal Combustion Engine. |

| North to south. It's a mammoth petro-chemical plant so don't expect pure fresh ozone. Official medical figures for bronchial related diseases are kept hush-hush too ... for a reason. |

| Brochial problems not just in Jubail. In Khobar/Dhahran my doctor told me he was surprised at the high incidence of chest problems. I blame Henry Ford. |

| Yeah, dust too. This year has been terrible for sandstorms, didn't really stop during March and April. |

March/April is normally the biggest sandstorm season. Spring doesn't really bring flowers in the Gulf.
