Abstract
The environmental significance of dust storms (impact on air quality, climatic effects, health effects) is described first in a general terms then in context with the local environment of metropolitan Beijing, China. The regional characteristics of dust storms in China, their sources and transport pathways, the chemical composition and the mixing and interaction with other air pollutants are reviewed.
