Dust storms from major Asian sources are usually carried by northwesterly or westerly winds
over Northern and Southeastern China to the Pacific Ocean. These pathways leave Central …

Particulate matter, defined as particles of less than 10 μm in diameter (PM10), was analyzed
over the Korean Peninsula from 2001 to 2015 to examine the influence of the El Niño …

Mesoscale wind field patterns play important roles in episodes of high particulate matter (PM
2.5). Previous studies have reported the main synoptic meteorological features associated …

The environmental behavior and pollution status of nickel (Ni) were investigated in seven
major cities in Korea over a 13-year time span (1998–2010). The mean concentrations of Ni …

In this study, high–particulate matter (PM 2.5) pollution episodes were examined in Seoul,
the capital city of South Korea, which, based on the episode characteristics, were influenced …

Episodes of large-scale transport of airborne dust and anthropogenic pollutant particles from
different sources in the East Asian continent in 2008 were identified by National Oceanic …

In this study, the chemical components of aerosols observed at ground level and in upper
layers during the Korea–United States Air Quality (KORUS-AQ) campaign were analyzed in …

In this study, we classify wind patterns that impacted PM 10 concentrations in the Seoul
Metropolitan Area (SMA), South Korea, from 2012 to 2016 and analyze their contributions to …

Background: Asian sand dust (ASD) that originates in the Mongolian Desert in the spring
induces serious respiratory health problems throughout East Asia (China, Korea, Japan) …

Winter dust cases over the northern Arabian Peninsula were selected using a threshold
aerosol index from the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) instrument. The results …
