Abstract
Yellow Sand (Asian dust), which is a typical example of mineral aerosol frequently originates in the Sand desert, Gobi desert and Loess plateau in Northern China and Mongol during the spring season (In and Park, 2002). A severe dust storm was observed in Korea during 21–22 March in 2002. The maximum concentration of PM10 observed in the air pollution monitoring sites scattered over South Korea exceeded 1,000 μg m−3 which is more than 10 times higher than that of the non-dust storm period.
