Now, Korea is also in an emergency.

The yellow dust that covered China is now flying with the wind.

It is expected that the air quality in the country will be very bad tomorrow (16th) from the early morning of the west coast until the day after tomorrow.

I am even more worried because the fine dust situation has not been good for several days already.

Seoul's high-rise buildings trapped in fine gray dust are dimly outlined.



[Jang Min-seo/Seongbuk-gu, Seoul: I came to see the scenery, but I couldn't see the Namsan Tower or the mountains, and I couldn't see it.]



Emergency reduction measures were taken for the second day in the metropolitan area and Chungnam.



Construction sites, factories, and power plants have been shortened, and vehicles with class 5 emissions have been banned from entering the metropolitan area.



The crackdown on old vehicles continued.



[Seoul Metropolitan Police Department Member: (The degree of smoke obscuring the light) 20% is the standard, but when I measured it, the average was 64%.

The local government will give orders for improvement.] The



metropolitan area has already been trapped in high-density fine dust for the 6th day.



The problem is that tomorrow, the situation gets worse as the yellow dust flows in.



The origin of this yellow sand is Mongolia.



In Mongolia, severe yellow sand and sand storms have occurred since the 12th, killing six people and killing dozens of others.



The concentration of fine dust has soared to 10,000 μg, 250 times that of Seoul, and this yellow dust is coming to Korea through the northwest wind through China.



The concentration is still high at around 2,500, and there is a possibility that an additional yellow dust will be generated in China tonight.



[Jin-Gyu Woo/Meteorological Office forecaster: (Road of yellow sand) Since the soil is dry and dry in the vicinity of Bohae Bay, there is a high possibility that additional yellow sand will originate.]



Yellow dust arrives on the west coast of Korea in the morning of tomorrow and reaches the country until the day after tomorrow on the 17th Seems to have an impact.



It is predicted that this year's most powerful yellow sand will have a concentration of more than 400㎍, which is 10 times that of usual.
