Summary

Description	Particles from airborne pollution, such as the “Giant Brown Cloud,” can travel all around the globe. In April of 2001, NASA satellites saw a massive dust storm appear over China. The densest portion of the aerosol pollution traveled east over Japan, the Pacific Ocean, and, within a week, the United States.
