Yellow Dust Storm Blankets South Korea
|If possible try to stay indoors if you live in South Korea:
A yellow dust storm that originated in the Gobi Desert in northern China and Mongolia on Friday blanketed most of South Korea, including the greater Seoul area, the state weather agency said.
A fine dust advisory, issued for Seoul at 1 p.m., was upgraded to a fine dust warning one hour later, as the average hourly concentration of fine dust particles smaller than 10 micrometers in diameter, known as PM 10, surged to 610 micrograms per cubic meter in the capital Friday afternoon.

F”cking commie china
You blame China for Gobi Desert wind storms from Mongolia?
The Gobi Desert is in both Mongolia and China.
The dust is not just sand. There is much in the way of industrial particulates that are hurting Koreans.
And once again, Beijingboy takes CCP talking point. Even johnhenry, who at least loves Korea, is being honest here.
To be fair the yellow dust storms have been happening for centuries:

However, it has gotten worse in recent decades because of overgrazing of grassland adjacent to the Gobi desert is turning large areas of it into desert. To make matters worse a lot of industrial pollutants from China’s factories are dumped in the desert and contribute to the amount of air pollutants that get blown over neighboring countries.
