A new research study highlights the significant health risks associated with dust storms, revealing an increase in emergency department (ED) visits for respiratory and cardiovascular conditions, as well as motor vehicle accidents, in three Southwestern U.S. states.

Dust storms are expected to become more frequent due to climate change, so it's crucial that we understand their immediate and long-term health impacts.
