Key Points

Lung function in children decreases during dust events, potentially affecting respiratory health.
Children exposed to high dust levels show notable reductions in lung function measurements.
Assessment of lung function involved measuring peak expiratory flow rates in affected children.
Findings highlight the need for better environmental management to protect children's health.
