Abstract
Mineral aerosols are a significant component in the Earth and atmosphere system. These aerosols are mainly emitted from arid and semi-arid areas, which cover about one third of the earth’s land surface. Estimate of the global source of mineral aerosol is of ~2000 Tg yr−1 (d’Almeida et al., 1991). In comparison, the global estimate of the secondary aerosols (e.g. carbonaceous substances, organics, sulfate, and nitrate) mainly form fossil fuel burning is ~400 Tg yr−1 (Preining, 1991).
