Organic Carbon and Elemental Carbon in Two Dust Plumes at a Coastal City in North China by Wenhua Wang, Hui Zhou, Ruihe Lyu, Longyi Shao, Wenmiao Li, Jiaoping Xing, Zhe Zhao, Xian Li, Xiuyan Zhou, Daizhou Zhang

“…According to SEM-EDX results, the average weight ratios of sulfur on detected individual dust particles were 0.48% and 1.88% in two dust periods, which were less than the previously reported value in non-dust days, indicating inefficient formation of secondary species on the dust particles. SEM-EDX analysis further revealed that approximately 5.2% of the particles (in number) were irregularly shaped C-dominated particles, which might be carbonaceous species-containing particles. …”
