Short summary

This laboratory study was performed on re-suspended dust samples collected from several known dust sources of the world. We measured dust by multiple analytical techniques to understand their physical and chemical characteristics. Studies of the properties of dust are necessary to assess the magnitude of the growing dust problem, identify sources of dust, and, where feasible, apply preventative measures and remediation practices. Results can be used in global climate and health studies.
