Saharan dust clouds brought particles of dust with iron to the waters off Florida's west coast, creating huge blooms [deposits] of toxic red algae.The Saharan dust entered the upper atmosphere and circled the globe.
When the dust reached the Florida's west coast, it increased surface water iron concentrations there by 300%, which then increased by tenfold the count of bacteria in the water.These bacteria caused a "red tide" which can kill some forms of marine life and causes serious skin and respiratory problems in humans.By using satellites to monitor Saharan dust clouds and bacteria blooms, scientists will one day be able to forecast red tides in areas that will be affected.

The responsibilities of a citizen who lives in a democracy are similar in some ways to those of a citizen in a totalitarian state. For example, a citizen under either system is expected to pay taxes and vote.
However, there are important differences between the two systems. In a democracy, a citizen is expected to respect the rights and opinions of others. The state encourages citizens to become involved in community groups and allows political protest. In a democracy, a citizen has more rights and freedom to carry out his duties. The state exists for the good of the citizen.
In a totalitarian society, the state controls every aspect of human life, and the citizen exists for the good of the state. The primary responsibility of the citizen is to obey and follow. The citizen can vote for only government-approved candidates. The ruling party members or people who support them fill all offices and law-making bodies. Some criticism of the state may be allowed. However, any citizen activity that could interfere with the state, such as a protest march, is outlawed in a totalitarian state
