SKOREA-POLLUTION

Pedestrians wearing face masks cross a road during heavily polluted weather in Seoul on February 23, 2015. The worst winter seasonal yellow dust in five years blanketed the Korean Peninsula, prompting the authorities to issue health warnings against the sandy, chemical-laden wind from China, according to domestic media. On a scale based on the US environmental Protection Agency standard, levels of fine particulate matter of ten micrometers or less (PM10) exceeded the maximum recordable level of 999, rated as 'Hazardous'. Levels of the finer, and more harmful PM 2.5 reached 259 on the same scale, a rating recorded as 'very unhealthy'.
