Fine Dust at Incheon Airport and China
A personal account of the severe fine dust conditions observed during a recent trip between China and Incheon Airport.

Fine Dust at Incheon Airport and China
I had to visit China a few days ago, and the fine dust there was incredibly severe. Incheon Airport was no exception.

This is the fine dust situation in China.
The photo below shows the situation in Incheon after I returned.

Korea seemed even worse. Of course, I visited inland China, but I didn’t expect Korea to be this bad.
This is the fine dust seen from a moving car.
I miss the fresh air.
