It can be a non-economical input, that is a UTXO that has less value than the fees it would cost to spend this coin.
A dust attack is actually about [forced address reuse](https://en.bitcoin.it/Privacy#Forced_address_reuse), the malicious actor sends very small amounts into old addresses and consolidation of these dust UTXOs can link several coins in a wallet cluster.

Specifically in the context of Wasabi, with the dust threshold settings you can limit the value of spam coins shown in the GUI.
Coins that you receive from other wallets (so no self-spend) which are *less than* the dust threshold in value and are received on an already used address are not shown.
Specifically in the context of Wasabi, with the dust attack limit setting you can limit the value of spam coins shown in the GUI.
Coins from other wallets (no self-spend) below the dust attack limit that you receive to a used address are not shown.
For example: When it is set to `0.0000 5000 BTC`, and you receive a coin worth `0.0000 4000 BTC` from a different wallet to an already used address, then this transaction and the coin in the coin list will not be shown.
