Yellow dust refers to the phenomenon of dust and soil from the yellow earth region in the valley of the Yellow River and desert region of China and Mongolia floating in the wind and falling down to the ground to cause visibility impairment mainly during springtime, the dry season.
When yellow dust phenomenon occurs, it causes clouding of visibility and change of sky into yellowish brown color, thus results in deterioration of visibility and building up of fine yellow dust particles on human body and objects. Yellow dust, when generated in desert region, mainly consists of quartz (silicon) and, when generated in yellow earth region, largely made up of aluminum contents. However, in the recent times, the wind containing yellow dust passes through the upper air of industrial zone in China, thus delivers pollutants of heavy metals or sulfurous acid gas. As such, yellow dust is causing serious environmental pollution in the recent days.
Damages of Yellow Dust
Yellow dust phenomenon blocks out and diffuses sunlight to impair visibility. Thus, it blocks the pores of agricultural crops or
In addition, it may cause problems in precision machinery, such as semiconductors and aircrafts, etc, thus result in significant damages to them. The ill effects of yellow dust on human body include bronchitis and asthma, etc. by penetrating deep into the respiratory organ and conjunctivitis and xerophthalmia, etc. by getting in contact with eyes. However, as yellow dust contains a large quantity of alkaline contents, it neutralizes acidic pollutants even after it falls down to the ground. Therefore, it also has the positive effect to assist in prevention of acidifying rainwater on the inland area.
