Yellow dust (YD) or Asian dust originates from the desertification of the Gobi Desert in Mongolia and North China. Intense sandstorms blow the dust over South Korea, conveniently picking up pollutants in the air from an industrializing China. The dust can cause respiratory problems and eye problems so it is advised to stay indoors during these storms. So if you have a respiratory problem, YD might not be the best thing for your lungs.
YD should come soon, like in the next days or weeks, so we have to be aware because apparently this winter was so dry that the storm is gonna be harder than expected.
On the following pictures, you can easily see the difference when the YD is coming whereas the pictures were taken exactly from the same point of view !
