Economic costs of wind erosion in the United States - Nature Sustainability Wind erosion and dust transport present challenges to human wellbeing, health and infrastructure. Last estimated for the United States in the 1990s, present economic costs of wind erosion across the U...

The cost of dust is more than you may think! Our study of the economic impacts of wind erosion in the USA is now out, showing it's way beyond the level of a "billion dollar disaster", greater than all other natural hazards except maybe hurricanes. Read: rdcu.be/d79cF www.nature.com/articles/s41...
