Fig. 1From: Association between transported Asian dust and outdoor fungal concentration during winter in a rural area of western Japan(a) Daily levels of suspended particulate matter (SPM) (open circles) and Asian dust (AD) particles (closed circles) from January 26, 2015 to February 27, 2015. The daily levels of AD particles from East Asia to Japan were measured using Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) systems. A heavy ADS day was defined as a day when the level of AD particles exceeded 0.06 km−1. (b) Associations between daily levels of SPM and AD particles. Closed circles represent non-heavy ADS days and open circles indicate heavy ADS daysBack to article page
