An Air Quality Prediction Modeling System (AQPMS) was used to investigate the neutralization of acid rain by yellow-sand in East Asia. A new deflation module of the yellow sand was designed to provide explicit information on the dust loading. Different from the previous ones for Sahara and Australian deserts, it included three major predictors, i.e., the friction velocity; the surface humidity and the predominant weather system. It was linked to AQPMS, which consisted of the advection, diffusion, dry and wet deposition, gas-phase chemistry and the liquid-phase chemistry. The predicted pH values and sulfateand nitrate-ion levels of precipitation, together with the surface concentrations of gaseous pollutants, were compared with measured values and a reasonable agreement was obtained. The simulation results of April 1995 exhibited a strong neutralization of the precipitation by the yellow-sand. The monthly mean pH values in the northern China, Korea and Japan showed a remarkable increase of 0.4-1.2, while the increase in the southern China was less than 0.1.
