China’s Smog Affects South Korea, Too | Society | China | Epoch Times: The dense, suffocating smog that has lingered over Beijing and eastern China over the past several days affects South Korea too, according to reports on Thursday.
The smog that has enveloped China has been described as one of the worst incidents of its kind in years, with tiny dust particles reaching a density of more than 990 micrograms per cubic meter on the PM 2.5.scale–far higher than the safe levels outlined by the World Health Organization, who says that a safe level is no more than 25.
“Our country’s air pollution is affected by air pollution in China, because pollutant substances are blown in by westerly winds,” Oh Young Min, an official with South Korea’s ministry of environment, told the Financial Times.
