[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] The Seoul Metropolitan Government's Health and Environment Research Institute announced that it lifted the fine dust advisory as of 9 a.m. on the 15th.


This fine dust advisory was issued following the influx of foreign fine dust on the 11th, and the prolonged atmospheric stagnation caused the accumulation of domestically generated fine dust, intensifying the high concentration phenomenon.



The institute explained, "After the passage of a low-pressure system this morning, the atmosphere's dispersion improved under the influence of a high-pressure system expanding from northern China, which is estimated to have resolved the high concentration of fine dust."
