Resumo

Air pollution is currently a major global concern due to increased industrialization and its consequences for the environment. The Asian continent in particular has become one of the main affected by this type of pollution and its impacts, with many countries like China and South Korea seeking to reduce the causes of this problem. South Korea is a country particularly affected by particles, especially during changing seasons. In the article, the origins of these emissions and impacts on South Korean society were discussed, such as social habits and behaviors. The mitigation practices developed by the country to tackle this problem have shown positive results, but they are still insufficient.
