Abstract
Quartz is art abundant mineral in wind generated dust throughout the U
nited States. Of the 18.9 million tons of particles smaller than 10 mu
m (PM10) dust emitted into the atmosphere by the wind, a significant
fraction is silica. Transport of some of this silica to populated area
s is possible.
