The collector seen in the foreground was developed by @CZCNet #Dustˆ2 Cluster member Jeff Munroe @Middlebury. The design has been shared widely including with @TempleUniv's Laura Toran who's using the passive collector as part of the #UrbanCluster. sites.temple.edu/geotoran/20…

"Greg Carling asserts more could be done via the Division of Air Quality or refined academic research when it comes to dust off the Great Salt Lake." @CZCNet #Dustˆ2 Cluster members contribute regularly to media coverage about these issues. deseret.com/utah/2022/10/12/…
Is Utah behind the curve when it comes to dust mitigation from the drying Great Salt Lake?

Is Utah behind the curve when it comes to dust mitigation from the drying Great Salt Lake?

Owens Lake is surrounded by monitors that measure PM10 pollution, but in Utah there has not been much regulatory focus on examining dust levels whipped up from the 800 square miles of exposed lakebed...

"Metals, derived from runoff and atmospheric deposition, can be mobilized into the food web when plants transfer these metals to above-ground plant parts." @jlbrahney quoted in this 2022 story from @KSLcom. ksl.com/article/50416186/haz…
Hazardous metals aren't only in Great Salt Lake's dust, they're in the ecosystem too

Hazardous metals aren't only in Great Salt Lake's dust, they're in the ecosystem too

A new Utah State University study suggests hazardous metals aren't only a concern when the lakebed becomes exposed, it is ending up in the Great Salt Lake's vital ecosystem.
