    At the time, all eyes were focused on the most exotic -sounding ingredient - dust that had been blown up from the Sahara.

    Tiny grains from the desert had indeed made the long airborne trek from the desert but most of the problem was caused by a nasty mix of pollutants created here and abroad.
