Sand and dust violence struck 15 provinces and cities in China, which was affected by

(Seoul / Tokyo / Beijing Comprehensive News) China's sandstorms are hit twice, affecting 15 provinces and cities in China, and will affect South Korea and Japan.

Sand and dust storm began to attack northern China from Monday (April 10) in the evening, and advanced to the south during the day.The PM10 peak concentration of PM10, including Beijing, exceeds 2,000 micrograms per cubic meter, has less than one kilometer visibility, and 44 times the air quality standards exceeding the World Health Organization.

15 provinces and regions and municipalities affected by sand and dust include Shaanxi, Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong, Jiangsu, Anhui, Henan, Hubei, Inner Mongolia, Shanghai, etc., with an area of about 2.29 million square kilometers and a population of about 409 million.

China Meteorological Observatory said that sand and dust will continue until Wednesday (April 12), and may be struck again around Friday (April 14).

Sand and dust weather also affects South Korea and Japan.According to Bloomberg, the fine dust particles from the Gobi Desert in South Korea have continued to increase. The earliest level of "very unhealthy" in the afternoon of Tuesday (April 11).The Japan Meteorological Agency predicts that the sandstorm is expected to arrive in Japan on Wednesday, affecting the visibility of central Japan, including Tokyo.

This is the eighth dust weather and the second sandstorm that appeared in China this year.Yonhap News Agency said that at the end of March, Huangsha covered most parts of South Korea at the end of March.

Frequent coming sand and dust weather has caused widespread discussion on the Chinese network.In addition to uploading Huangsha scenes, netizens also questioned why sand and dust rolled back in recent years.

The China National Forestry and Grassland Bureau monitored that the sand and dust weather mainly originated in the central and western parts of Inner Mongolia and southern neighboring Mongolia.

Wu Bo, director of the Institute of Desertification of China Forestry Sciences, told Xinhua News Agency that the recovery of vegetation in sandstorms has played a certain role in reducing the amount of dust in the sand source area and reducing the dangers of sandstorms.However, Mongolia's vegetation growth was not good in 2022, and the precipitation was too small, and the high winds in the spring of the spring formed frequent sand and dust.

The increase in temperature of North China and the Mongolian desert temperature, the decrease in precipitation and the increase in sandstorms

Reuters also quoted an official of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment in China that the number of sandstorms is four times the number of sandstorms in the 1960s as the desert temperature of the desert in northern China and the Mongolia neighbor is four times.

However, sandy land in China is still the source of sand.Previously, the relevant person in charge of the National Forestry and Grassland Bureau of China said in an interview with China News Agency that China still has 2.57 million square kilometers desertized land and 1.69 million square kilometers of sandy land.It will be a long -term and arduous task.
