Abstract

The Desert regions continue to discharge a significant amount of dust, and they circulate the globe (Uno et al., 2009). These desert dust by itself bring the important minerals to a distant area and supply essential elements as nutrients for various trophic levels. In another case, the dust from Saharan desert was suspected of acting as a carrier of biological components (bioaerosols) such as fungus across Atlantic Sea to the Caribbean Sea to cause coral leaf damage (Garrison et al., 2003). The bioaerosols can be transported a long distance which may reach downwind and/or surrounding regions to cause possible health effects to human and livestock. Here we present some of the results from the intensive observation period (IOP) 2015, a measurement campaign conducted in Gobi region of Mongolia, south part of China, and several locations in Japan during April 25 to May 10.
