Airborne mineral dust particles<br />
<br />
Airborne mineral dust - <strong>the</strong> most abundant PM in coarse atmospheric aerosols<br />
<br />
Silicate minerals constitute ~90% <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Earth crust.<br />
<br />
<strong>Mineral</strong> dust plays multiple roles in influencing global climate (e.g., scattering and<br />
absorbing radiations, CCN).<br />
<br />
Heterogeneous chemical reactions can also alter <strong>the</strong> chemical balance <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
atmosphere.<br />
<br />
Hygroscopic property <strong>of</strong> mineral dust can change <strong>the</strong>ir reactivity.<br />
<br />
Arid and semi-arid areas <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Saharan desert and central China are <strong>the</strong> global<br />
scale sources.
