  abstract = {{S}outhern {T}unisia is a region very prone to wind erosion because of its soil features, and the development of mechanized agriculture. {M}oreover, this region is located downwind the {S}ahara, which is the main source of mineral dust in the world. {F}or these reasons, dust haze is frequently observed in this region. {I}f some authors have already documented air quality in the northern part of {T}unisia, no equivalent studies have ever been conducted for southern regions even though {D}ahech & {B}eltrando (2012) highlighted the potential negative impact of mineral dust on air quality in {S}fax. {T}his is why a ground-based station dedicated to the monitoring of mineral dust was installed at the {I}nstitut des {R}{\'e}gions {A}rides ({IRA}) of {M}{\'e}denine to document the temporal variability of mineral dust concentrations in southern {T}unisia. {W}e present here the results from the two first years of measurements of meteorology, {PM}10 concentration, and direct solar radiation.},
