A spring sampling campaign was carried out to monitor the Asian dust storm and its long-range transport across China in 2007.Combined with the backward/forward air mass trajectories analysis,the main low-Ca dust source from the northern China/Mongolia and the transport pathway from the Northern/Northeastern low Ca dust source regions to Shanghai,a downstream site in the Yangtze River Basin,were identified with the Ca/Al elemental tracer analysis.The chemical characterization of dust transport was conducted with examining the variations of mass concentrations,elemental/ionic compositions of dust from site to site,The result from the above analysis,in combination with elemental enrichment factor analysis indicated the mixing of dust particles with pollution was not so evident due to less anthropogenic sources from the near site of original source dust,in contrast to the downstream sites.While with the transport of dust to East China and accumulation of pollution aerosols,the chemical characteristic ratio value of particle,(SO2-4/3)/S and ∑+/∑-,increased and decreased,from 0.65 to 1.00 and from 3.21 to 0.47,respectively,indicating the heterogeneous reaction on dust and mixing of mineral with pollution components during the dust transport were enhanced,and the acidification of particles was aggravated.Furthermore,in many cities of Eastern China severe degradation of air quality due to long-range transport of dust should be urgently concerned.
