Impact of sand and dust storms on mortality in Jinan City, China by Chaofan Shen, Mingjun Li, Qingchang Wang, Jinjiao Luan, Jiliang Si, Liangliang Cui

“…The excess mortality risks associated with SDSs were 13% (95% CI: 4–22%), 4% (95% CI: 1–8%), and 3% (95% CI: 1–6%) for respiratory, circulatory, and all-cause death, respectively.
