Dust storms are one of the largest sources of non-exhaust emissions in China, which can adversely affect air quality and human health during long-distance transportation. To study the influence of dust storms on aerosol particle composition, samples of fine aerosol (PM2.5) were collected before, during, and after the severe dust storm episodes in a coastal city of North China. Then the water-soluble inorganic ions in the filters were analyzed. The results showed that the chemical composition varied significantly in different sampling periods. Before the dust storm periods (Phase 1), the weather was characterized by high relative humidity. NO3- was the main water-soluble inorganic ion, accounting for about 1/3 of the total mass of PM2.5, which is very different from the situation a few years ago when sulfate was the dominant. The results indicated that the chemical composition of the atmosphere in China has changed significantly after the implementation of strict air pollution control measures. During the severe dust storm periods (within a few hours after the dust invasion, Phase 2), the proportion of Ca2+ in PM2.5 was high; the sulfate formation was limited due to adiabatic air mass affected by the cold front, and the sulfate content might be mainly from desert soil. However, a small amount of nitrate can be formed during their long-distance transportation. After the dust storm periods (Phase 3), dust plums and local polluted air mass mixed well. The proportion of secondary inorganic ions increased, and nitrate formation was still the main. The changes in the chemical composition from a few years ago during Phase 1 and the sharp changes in different water-soluble inorganic ions during different Phases should be carefully considered to evaluate their implications for air quality and human health.
