What is fine dust?

‘Fine dust’ refers to inhalable dust from the particulate dust that floats or blows in the air.


Fine dust and ultrafine dust are categorized according to the diameter of the dust. Fine dust (PM10) is dust with a particle diameter of less than 10㎛. It not only causes lung diseases but also reduces your body’s immune system and causes skin, eye, or respiratory system diseases, so you have to manage fine dust with a proper prevention method to protect your health.

Do you only check the status of fine dust outside?
There’s also fine dust in the indoor air that we live in every day.

Indoor without ventilation has 100 times↑
the allowed level of fine dust

"When cooking food in the house, fine dust such as small soot particles also occur.”


“Particularly in an environment without good ventilation, the fine dust in the indoor smoke can soar more than 100 times the allowed level per day (allowed fine dust threshold 35㎍/㎥)" 


The risk of indoor pollutants, such as mold, bacteria, radon, volatile organic compounds, formaldehyde, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide, increases up to five times, and about 3.8 million patients have died early due to indoor air pollution.

Risk & Impact of Fine Dust on Our Health

When fine dust enters our body, the cells that are in charge of immunity remove the dust to protect our body,
but at that moment, inflammatory reactions appear. Inflammatory reactions occur
in each organ of our body, causing asthma, respiratory system, and cardiovascular system diseases.

Tips During the Bad Stage of Highly Concentrated Fine Dust

Indoors

"Ventilation tips when fine dust is severe"

Ventilate at least 3 times for 10 min

Ventilate at least 3 times for 10 min on days with ultrafine dust. The correct ventilation method is to open all the windows for 10 min.
If you place a fan in the direction of the window, it will also help quicken the ventilation.

Ventilate for at least 30 min after cooking

Ventilate naturally for at least 30 min after cooking.  If you don’t ventilate indoors, carcinogens will accumulate.

Outdoors

"Restrict excessive outdoor activities when fine dust is 81-150 and ultrafine dust is 36-78"


Shake the outerwear thoroughly

When you come after
being out, shake your outerwear thoroughly


Wash your
eyes, nose, and mouth

Gargling with salt water or physiological saline helps with oral hygiene


Drink water

If you drink a lot of purified water frequently, your respiratory system doesn’t become dry, so fine dust can’t infiltrate easily


Take vitamin C

You should consume vegetables and fruits that are high in vitamin C along with plenty of water
