(2010/03/23 00:05)

With the cold air south, the mainland in the vicinity of the strong dust storms in north China affect Taiwan, the concentration of suspended particles around the break table, Ilan and even played a mud under the rain. Veteran media screen Massey pointed out that this is not just sand but the sand bacteria, the EPD was also found that Taiwan now has six kinds of fungi, and most of them did not exist before.

Dust storm enveloped the strongest in the history of Taiwan, Massimo screen in the evening of 22 political commentary shows that dust storms may lead to infectious diseases, can not be ignored. He said that after the dust storms swept Jiangsu Province, Jiangsu, was news that the bird flu outbreak in Inner Mongolia also reported bird flu outbreaks. Massey screen of concern said the dust storms bring a lot of bacteria, including industrial pollution, particles, chemical substances, of course, may also contain the bird flu virus.

Look down from a height, the Taipei basin, 21, an overcast sky, Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall barely visible blue roof, white walls to see how I look also unclear; Taipei 101, are overshadowed by a layer of sediment bowed, can not see the face of the whole building; Taichung Chungkang is also hazy, as if covered by a layer of gauze; the city's 85 buildings have no better, almost do not know.

The dust storms caused by the concentration of suspended particles in the value of up to 500 micrograms per cubic meter, it began to rain even Ilan is also a mixture of sand, into a mud rain. Meals and the sand, the car Ashen, children and the elderly non-stop cough cough

In the more outgoing one in Chiayi, Taipei southward into the pilgrims, 21, a souvenir shop in Dalin, suspected dust storm triggered asthma relapse, hospital, has died, family members stressed that the men do have a history of asthma, initially ruled out because of dust storms caused fatal asthma may be, only the timing point of coincidence, it is inevitable people will be the cause of death, followed by the history of the strongest dust storms to link.

Environmental Protection Agency, Zhu Yu-funded monitoring of its Director, said the new wave of dust storms (24) will no longer fall in Taiwan, depends on whether the entrained water vapor front. The face of the extreme poor air quality, EPA reminded of cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases such sensitive groups of people, or the elderly, children and other weaker body resistance should avoid going out or engage in intense outdoor activities, or with a mask to prevent. At present, the air-suspended particles apart from bad Kaohsiung-Pingtung area, the north, Chu-Miao, Central, Southwest, Pingtung, Ilan and other areas are "harmful",

Late winter spring dust storms occurred in the main season, which the March to May occur most frequently, accounting for more than 60% of the whole year, and the number of dust storms occur each year varies. Conditions for dust storms occurred in the nature of the soil surface soft, dry, no vegetation, or vegetation growth and there is no snow cover; weather conditions for a strong surface wind, vertical unstable weather conditions and no rain and snow weather phenomena.

According to EPA studies have shown that desert dust of the earth suspended in the main source of the Sahara desert dust alone accounting for 25% of the global atmosphere, the amount of suspended particles (Zhao and Yu, 1990). Northwest China is located in the Central Asian desert area, ranking the world's four desert region the second largest (in order of Central Africa, Central Asia, North America and Australia), so dust in northwestern China on the impact of atmospheric environment in East Asia is also not be ignored.

Huge sandstorm hits Taiwan


TAIPEI, Taiwan -- The biggest-ever sandstorm hit the whole of Taiwan yesterday, obscuring the whole island in thick dust-clouds that caused air pollution and a big jump in the number of outpatients in hospitals.

The dust storms originated from the deserts of Mongolia and had begun sweeping through China's southern Xinjiang region and northern areas last week. They were carried east by prevailing winds and arrived in Taiwan along with a cold front yesterday.
