Abstract
Industrial development is greatly increasing in arid environments, in particular Asia and the Middle East. This note addresses the development of the aluminum industry as a case study in the Middle East. Our current understanding of the environmental impact of emissions from the smelting process is derived largely from models based on the plant communities and climates of the temperate Americas and Europe. Ultimately, these models depend on rainfall for plant protection and, therefore, may not be applicable to the arid environments.
