Abstract

Aerosol samples were collected from Northwest China desert region (Minqin), coastal suburb (Qingdao) and interior of the Yellow Sea (Qianliyan) in spring and summer of 1995 and 1996. Samples were analysed for major components, carbon and sulphur. The results show that concentrations of aerosols change considerably in time and space. The crustal materials carried by cold front system increase notably the aerosol concentration (mass/unit vol.) over the Yellow Sea but reduce the percentage contribution of pollutants and sea-salt. The sea-salt and regional aerosols become dominant fractions in coastal atmosphere in summer when the dust storms are expired in source region and the Southeast monsoon starts in the Pacific Ocean.
