Mass concentration and their percentage of the principal minerals in the dust and reference samples
Yellow dust and reference (aerosol) samples were collected at Nagoya, Japanby means of two Andersen samplers and analyzed with an X-ray diffractometer.
Main origins of yellow sand dust: ① The desert soils near Taklamakan and Gobi deserts
Illite, calcite and gypsum were abundantly found only in the dust sample.
② The soils in the upper drainage basin of Yellow River The relative weight fraction of kaolinite and illite in the dust samples were 0.3 to 0.5.

EDX and morphological features for the dust particles
The dust particles collected at Nagasaki, Japan were present as mixedparticles with water-soluble material mainly containing Ca and S.
Samples: Yellow dust particles collected in Beijing under the northwest wind with the speed of 10 m/s in spring of 1996.
Experiment ・ Reagent thin-film test: Most of yellow dust particles did not reach with nitron- barium chloride multiple film.
・ EDX analysis: Sulfur was hardly detected in yellow dust particles with the Energy dispersive X-ray analyzer.
Almost no sulfate is formed and nitrate is hardly formed on the surface of dust particles during their transport from source regions to Beijing.
