On August 24, 2026, the air quality for ultrafine particulate matter nationwide is forecast to be "Good."
According to the Korea Environment Corporation’s forecast overview, all regions are expected to range from “Good” to “Moderate.”
Regarding the causes, the agency analyzed, “In most southern regions, domestically generated fine dust will accumulate due to air convergence, resulting in a ‘Moderate’ daily average concentration; however, in other regions, daily average concentrations are expected to be ‘Good’ due to favorable atmospheric dispersion.”
Since PM2.5 concentrations will not be high in any region, outdoor activities are not expected to be significantly affected.
Moderate — South Jeolla, North Jeolla, Gwangju, South Gyeongsang, Ulsan, Daegu, Busan (7 regions)
Good — Seoul, Jeju, North Gyeongsang, South Chungcheong, North Chungcheong, Sejong, Daejeon, Yeongdong, Yeongseo, Southern Gyeonggi, Northern Gyeonggi, Incheon (12 regions)
