Where Julie is, there is a huge amount of dust and dirt in the
outside air. This is due to poor soil-conservation practices,
overgrazing, underregulated construction activities, etc. The ground
has all been torn up and stripped of its native vegetation. This is
true for hundreds of miles in every direction. It is also an
exceptionally windy area.

So the outside environment is in fact pretty disgusting around there,
as the result of a man-made situation.
