Do you have an air purifier? If you are not, what is your standard to choose an air product, filter or shape? You probably think the filter is very important. Now, the problem of fine dust is floating like a big issue. According to the World Health Organization, about 7 million people die due to the fact that fine dust plentifully accumulates in the lungs of people around the globe. Then, Seoul is serious with fine dust. Almost every person is wearing the same thing, surgical masks. I can see this is an attempt to keep the fine dust from entering their bodies. Let’s look into fine dust thoroughly.

 What is fine dust? It is particles that are less than 10 micrometers in diameter, which is about one-seventh (1/7) in the width of a single strand of human hair, and they are small enough to be inhaled into the lungs. Then, sulfate and nitrate compose of fine dust mostly. Then, what is the cause? Fine dust occurs when pollutants are emitted from China and internal pollutants stay in the air,” said expert Kim.

 In Seoul, there is a craze for purchasing fine dust products. When I look at the sales of all markets like GS25, G market, e mart and so on, the air product: air purifier, mask, and fine screen. Then, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, Korea grapples with massive air pollution; it ranked bottom in air quality among 35 member states.

 The fine dust, it can provoke conjunctivitis, acne, asthma, respiratory disease, stroke, dementia, and arrhythmia, is not a problem which the society ignores easily. Although there are many victims and problems, the government does not do anything for solving them actively. Although the problem is because of China, Korea government have to strive for solving fine dust’s issue.
