Size-resolved atmospheric ice-nucleating particles during East Asian dust events [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2021 Asian dust is an important source of atmospheric ice-nucleating particles (INPs). However, the freezing activity of airborne Asian dust, especially its sensitivity to particle size, is poorly understood.

Asian dust exposure triggers acute myocardial infarction [PDF]
European Heart Journal, 2017 To elucidate whether Asian dust is associated with the incidence of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and to clarify whether patients who are highly sensitive to Asian dust will develop AMI.Twenty-one participating institutions located throughout Kumamoto Prefecture and capable of performing coronary intervention were included in the study.

Vertical variation of optical properties of mixed Asian dust/pollution plumes according to pathway of air mass transport over East Asia [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2015 We use five years (2009–2013) of multiwavelength Raman lidar measurements at Gwangju, South Korea (35.10° N, 126.53° E) for the identification of changes of optical properties of East Asian dust depending on its transport path over China.

Dithiothreitol-Measured Oxidative Potential of Size-Segregated Particulate Matter in Fukuoka, Japan: Effects of Asian Dust Events. [PDF]
Geohealth, 2019 Oxidative potential is an important property of particulate matter (PM) that has been regarded as a more health‐relevant metric than PM mass. We investigated the oxidative potential of size‐segregated PM and effects of Asian dust events in Fukuoka ...
