Yeah I've been feeling like I've got dust or something in my mouth this whole week. Been having to spit constantly. Yesterday's AQI for Shanghai was over 500.

It's a long way from China to Korea.

Any pollution released here is diluted ten or twenty times as it diffuses in three dimensions.

Any pollution in Korea is negligable. Korea is a clean and healthy place to live.

I suggest people experiencing health effects in Korea never, ever come to the source of the problem where the pollution is so strong it takes 7 years of a person's life.

Head propagandist of Daves: creeper1

(He's just making stuff up. What he said about the strength of pollution diffusion is not factually accurate. Why would the Seoul government issue its first ever warning about fine particle matter if there wasn't a problem?)

Real answer: pollution is bad in China (the heaviest polluter ever in human history) AND South Korea. Both have horrible air quality that is inferior (a step down in terms of quality of life/standard of living) to our home countries. Creeper1 doesn't even live in Korea so what would he know.

Since days I am trying to find a website that indicates PM2,5 data for Korean cities. All I found was PM10 data, which you probably know is not so relevant for health issues.
