Short summary

This study collected dust samples from six sites in the Qaidam Basin over three years to investigate the impact of domestic heating on atmospheric dust in hyper-arid region. Our results indicate that rural dust is significantly influenced by heating, particularly from coal and biomass burning, which accounts for over 70% of total sources. The unique energy structure here has resulted in distinct environmental effects from the emitted carbonaceous aerosols and useful for similar dry areas.
