Air pollution is a significant environmental challenge, particularly in urban areas. One of the key contributors to air pollution is aerosols, which are tiny particles suspended in the air. These particles can have various origins, including natural sources like dust storms and anthropogenic activities such as industrial emissions and vehicle exhaust. In recent years, there has been growing interest in understanding the role of aerosol water content and its effect on the formation of Secondary Inorganic Aerosols (SIAs) during sandy haze events, especially in inland cities of China. This article explores the features of aerosol water content and its impact on the formation of SIAs during sandy haze episodes in a Chinese inland city.
