Saharan dust over Mallorca — How risky is the air, and what is missing in the response?

Answer

What would a morning scene look like on Mallorca's Passeig during a dust episode?

The air would look milky and the sun would be subdued. People nearby might cough or rub their eyes as the scene on the Passeig Mallorca shows dust in daily life. This is not an alarm, but daily life is affected and may require shorter outdoor time and shelter when needed.
