Dirt Poor: Ararat residents face choice between dust and the color of money

Black, the favored color of Armenians, is not so common in Ararat province.

Residents of Ararat prefer clothes of lighter colors because so much dust in the air quickly changes black, to gray.

According to Armenia’s Ministry of Ecology, dust in the city of Ararat, some 40 kilometers east of Yerevan, exceeds the allowed concentration limit by 10 times.
