To offer a foundational science for the land spatial planning of Beijing Tianjin sandstorm source area, the remote sensing images of Duolun County in Inner Mongolia from 2000 to 2020 were used to obtain the spatial information of production, living and ecological space(PLES). In order to construct the index system of the carrying capacity of the PLES, 24 indicators were chosen from the perspectives of ecological space, living space, and production space. AHP method, TOPSIS Model with entropy combination weight, coupling coordination model and obstacle degree model are used to analyze the coupling coordination scheduling and obstacle degree of the PLES carrying capacity.

Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) are responsible for the premature deaths of more than 38 million people each year, making them the leading cause of the global burden of disease, accounting for 70% of global mortality. The majority of these deaths are caused by cardiovascular diseases. The risk of NCDs is closely related to exposure to environmental stressors such as air pollution, noise pollution, artificial light at night, and climate change, including extreme heat, sandstorms, and wildfires.

The Tibetan Plateau (TP) is significantly influencing the climate and environmental evolution regionally and globally. Adjacent to the northwestern TP, the Taklimakan Desert (TD) experiences the unique pattern of dust aerosol variations due to the deep basin terrain. However, systematic studies on how TP climate change affects TD dust aerosol variations are lacking.

Global climate change is becoming increasingly crucial. With the continuous strengthening of environmental supervision and governance in China, the haze (O) weather mainly caused by PM pollution has gradually improved, while the emissions of invisible ozone pollutants have been increasing annually. In particular, the problem of near-ground ozone pollution is more crucial, which poses a severe threat to urban production, life, and health of people.

Sandstorms contribute to the atmospheric microplastic pollution: Transport and accumulation from degraded lands to a megacity.

J Hazard Mater

December 2024

State Key Joint Laboratory of Environmental Simulation and Pollution Control, College of Environmental Sciences and Engineering, Peking University, Beijing 100871, China. Electronic address:

Surface dust from degraded lands is a major global aerosol source, mobilized by meteorological events like sandstorms. Microplastics (MPs) in dust can be enriched in the atmosphere and transported over long distances to sensitive regions during sandstorms. This study was conducted in a megacity frequently impacted by sandstorms in spring, exploring the influx, characteristics, enrichment mechanism, and transport pathway of sandstorm-derived MPs.
