No. Soil erosion of farmlands has a tendency to pollute waterways. Dust storms do little in the way of actual pollution other than placing a layer of dust on everything, unless there are pollutants in the dust.
However, forest fires, both man-made and natural, are one of the largest polluters in the world, releasing smoke, CO2, and other products of combustion directly into the atmosphere, as well as polluting nearby rivers and streams.
The greenhouse gases released by forest fires worldwide amount to about 17% of the total; man-made sources amount to about 11% of the total.
