[Photo] Yellow Dust Crisis Alert Issued at 'Caution' Level

On the 7th, when a yellow dust crisis alert at the 'caution' level was issued in 10 metropolitan cities including Seoul, the city viewed from Inwangsan Mountain in Seoul appeared hazy. The yellow dust crisis alert at the 'caution' level is issued when a fine dust warning due to yellow dust is announced and there is a possibility of a large-scale disaster occurring. The 'interest' level is issued when yellow dust that could affect South Korea occurs and the fine dust caused by yellow dust exceeds the 'very bad' level (daily average PM10 over 150㎍/㎥). / Reporter Kim Hyun-min kimhyun81@
