An-chun, Li | Li-rong, Chen
Eolian dust is an important material source of marine sediment and heavy metals influencing marine environment and primary productivity. Although the eastern China Seas and their adjacent regions are downwind of East Asian dust sources and have potentially high atmospheric input, study on the eolian dus in these regions is limited. This study on the compositions of eolian dust indicated that dust concentration and particle sizes varied with seasons and meteorologic conditions, that mineral and chemical compositions have significant regional variation, and that high Fe content is one of the characteristics of eolian dust which was found to be a mixture of natural loess and/or soil and anthropogenic matter that contained fairly high S and heavy metals.
