China is now facing a very serious environment problem, that is Sandstorm (沙尘暴)Now  this problem becomes worse and worse

330,000-ton sand fell on Beijing on April 18th, 2006This is the tenth instance(情况) of sandstorms in northern China this year and the eighth in BeijingMost of the sand in Beijing comes from Inner MongoliaThe situation this year is worse than the past two years

People had to clean the dust-covered(灰尘湮没的) roads by washing instead of sweepingThe sandstorms this year could appear because of high temperature, long droughts(干旱) and frequent(经常发生的) cold air

From March, the rainfall in northern China is about 75% of the average figure (平均数) in the past few years and some parts reported rainfall to be about 20% of the average figure in the past few years

Cold air is frequent (惯常的)in March and April in northern China and it brings strong wind and sandstorms to the areas
