Yellow dust will hit the nation on Thursday as the air quality remains poor for nearly a week in the western regions and the capital area due to heavy concentrations of fine dust. According to the Korea Meteorological Administration(KMA), fine dust will reach “bad” or “very bad” levels on Thursday across the nation. Yellow dust is expected to spread throughout the nation on Thursday, with fine dust forecast to reach “very bad” levels in Incheon, Sejong and Chungcheong Province. The Environment Ministry activated the lowest level of “attention” in the government’s four-tier crisis alert for yellow dust for Incheon, Sejong and Chungcheong Province, advising people to refrain from outdoor activities.
The latest yellow dust is expected to blow away on Friday with air quality expected to remain good until early next week.
