The dust storms are so bad that there is a public health emergency in the ACT.

Air quality in the ACT is deteriorating due to dust storm, ACT Health said.

The local health authority is advising Canberrans who are experiencing difficulty breathing to seek medical attention. In the event of a medical emergency, call 000, they said.
