Study suggests that restoring Great Salt Lake in Utah can reduce dust exposure, benefit ecosystems, and mitigate climate change.
A study in the journal One Earth reveals that restoring the Great Salt Lake in Utah could provide ecological and environmental justice benefits, such as reducing dust exposure and disparities in exposure among different racial/ethnic and socioeconomic groups. As the lake dries, dust exposure increases, affecting local communities, wildlife, and industries. Restoring the lake's levels could mitigate climate change, enhance the ecosystem, and improve air quality for everyone in the region.
