Article Abstract
The sand-dust weather and sand-dust storms have become a serious environmental disaster worldwide. It is an important challenge to develop technologies for desert sand solidification in order to prevent and control sand-dust weather. The biomineralization technology for solidifying desert sands has been a novel method for reinforced soils in recent years. The biomineralization solidification sand field tests are completed at the Wuma Highway solidification section in the Tengger Desert. The superiority of the biomineralization for solidifying sands is verified by measuring the water storage capacity of different reinforcement zones including bare sand zone, plant zone, biomineralization solidifying sand zone, and biomineralization combined plant solidifying sand zone. Simultaneously, the molecular dynamics calculation analysis is used to verify the role of biomineralization solidifying sands in preventing sand-dust storms. All results demonstrate that the biomineralization solidification sand method is effective for controlling and preventing sandstorm disasters.

Exposure to dust can disrupt healthcare services and severely affect all activity domains of the health system. This study aimed to present an overview of mitigation strategies taken in healthcare centers during dust storms. A systematic review was conducted in November 2022 according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.

The dust component of particulate matter (PM) warrants more attention in the era of climate change and increased frequency of dust event, yet rarely are studies focused exclusively on the long-term health effects of dust PM. This study aims to assess the relative toxicity of dust and non-dust PM on the long-term functional impairment after stroke. We utilized data from a multicenter, national survey in China from 2013 to 2019 and selected participants with repeated assessments of the functional impairment outcomes, the modified Rankin scale (mRS) score, to form a longitudinal dataset.

Background: Long-term exposure to fine particulate matter brought by dust storms (dust PM) poses a significant risk to children's health, particularly those in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). To quantify the impact of dust PM on children, current research focuses on acute respiratory infection (ARI) as a key health outcome, given its significant contribution to child mortality. However, the relationship used to evaluate the disease burden is mainly based on the total PM concentration, neglecting the specific effect of dust PM distinct from other PM.

Evidence concerning the impact of sand-dust storms (SDS) on asthma is limited, and little is known about the associated public health burden, especially in regions with arid climate. Therefore, this study seeks to evaluate the effect of SDS on asthma hospitalization and quantify the associated hospital and economic burden in multiple cities with typical arid climate. We collected provincial asthma hospitalization, air pollutants and meteorological data of 14 cities in Gansu province.

Asian sand dust (ASD), a seasonal dust storm originating from the deserts of China and Mongolia, affects Korea and Japan during the spring, carrying soil particles and a variety of biochemical components. Exposure to ASD has been associated with the onset and exacerbation of respiratory disorders, although the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study investigates ASD-induced pulmonary toxicity and its mechanistic pathways, focusing on the role of thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP).
