Wind erosion negatively impacts many aspects of society, but its socioeconomic costs in the United States were last assessed comprehensively during the 1990s. It has been over three decades since and both the climate and society have changed greatly. Solar panel and wind turbine usage have risen drastically, and an infectious disease known as Valley fever that is linked to soil (and thus likely dust) has been growing in incidence. Windblown dust has also caused an increase in transportation fatalities. Due to these and other changes, we decided to re-assess the previous estimate of a $10 billion annual cost of wind erosion from Pimentel et al.(1995). We examined existing literature on past cost estimates and used domestic research data when possible. Some cost estimates, such as dust morbidity, were directly taken from existing studies and adjusted for inflation if necessary. Other estimates, such as loss …
