On the 7th, as the cold receded and fine dust arrived, the cityscape viewed from Haengjusanseong in Goyang-si, Gyeonggi Province appeared hazy. Due to stagnant air, the concentration of ultrafine dust in the metropolitan area, as well as the central-western region and Jeonbuk, is expected to remain at a 'bad' level throughout the day. Although there will be no major cold concerns over the weekend, the ultrafine dust may become even denser. Photo by Moon Honam munonam@
