I am, however, getting paranoid enough to seriously consider getting an air purifier for my apartment. We had a record-breaking dust storm <a href="https://www.rokdrop.net/2021/03/worst-yellow-dust-storm-in-a-decade-hits-south-korea/" rel="nofollow">just a few months ago</a>; AQI was almost 1,200 in the Daegu area. Scary. If these storms happen with any frequency, I probably will be buying a purifier soon.<br /><br />A former coworker of mine, concerned about his little daughter, is considering moving back to the States because of the severe air-quality problem. Can't say I blame him. And what a shame that would be: Korea's a fantastic place to live... if not for the bad air.Kevin Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328790917314282058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-85868693985472000542021-05-08T17:05:19.761+09:002021-05-08T17:05:19.761+09:00Yeah, probably a good idea not to walk in that.
