Short summary
Mineral dust impacts climate and air quality, varying by composition. This study examined its effects on radiation and pollution during a North China dust storm using WRF-CHIMERE and three dust atlases. Bulk dust had a shortwave radiative forcing of -5.72 W/m², while mineral-specific effects increased it by +0.10 W/m². Aerosol-radiation interactions raised PM₁₀ to 1189.48 μg/m³. Accurate mineral data is essential for improving dust-related climate and air quality simulations.
