Recent research indicates that the dust from the Salton Sea's expanding shoreline contributes less than 1% to the total small particle pollution in the Coachella and Imperial valleys. Focus is shifting from managing dust emissions to improving air quality inside homes, schools, and workplaces, which can have a more substantial impact on health. The region’s air pollution originates from various sources, including agricultural chemicals, livestock manure, diesel exhaust, and dust from unpaved roads, with concerns also arising from bacteria and hydrogen sulfide in the air.
Pollution from the expanding shoreline of the Salton Sea may not be a significant contributor to the region's air problems. Researchers suggest focusing on internal air quality is crucial.
Dust from the dry shoreline accounts for less than 1% of total small particle pollution in the region. The main sources include agricultural chemicals and livestock manure.
