Wind erosion processes are governed by soil physical properties and surface
characteristics. Erosion is initiated when the friction velocity exceeds the threshold friction …

The USEPA has proposed to regulate PMcoarse (particulate matter 2.5 to 10 μm in
diameter). Exceedance of the proposed National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for …

Windblown dust impacts air quality in the Columbia Plateau of the US Pacific Northwest.
Wind erosion of agricultural lands, which is the predominate source of windblown dust in the …

Wind erosion only occurs when the friction velocity exceeds the threshold friction velocity
(TFV) of the surface. The TFV of loessial soils found across the Columbia Plateau region of …

Windblown sediment resulting from erosion of agricultural land has impaired visibility and
threatened human health in the US Inland Pacific Northwest. There is, however, a lack of …

Soil crusts are especially important for agricultural fields in the inland Pacific Northwest
where there is a high wind erosion risk due to exposure of fine erodible soils in fallow …

Core Ideas Wind erosion results in loss of soil and associated C. Loss of C was measured
from eroding fallow fields in eastern Washington. Eroded sediment was enriched in C …

Fugitive dust from eroding land poses risks to environmental quality and human health, and
thus, is regulated nationally based on ambient air quality standards for particulate matter …

Core Ideas Irrigated agricultural lands in the Columbia Basin are highly susceptible to wind
erosion. Alternatives to conventional tillage practices are needed to reduce wind erosion …

Windblown dust is a major source of PM 10 in Jinan, China. The aim of this study was to
evaluate the effect of windblown dust on the air quality of the central district in Jinan, which …
