Yellow dust cover

» Yellow dust cover.

On March 16, a window washer at the 63 Building in Yeouido wears a mask and a towel to protect his lungs from the yellow dust that hits Korea every year.

The yellow dust originates in the Gobi Desert, which covers Mongolia and parts of northern China. South Korea regularly plants trees in these areas to slow the dust’s drift into South Korean skies.
