Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition in which the airways (the passages through which air moves in and out of the lungs) become hypersensitive, often due to allergic reactions, and narrow, causing recurring coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath. It is sometimes mistaken for a severe cough or cold, which can delay proper treatment. Symptoms can worsen with exposure to yellow dust, fine particulate matter, or pollen. If you have recurring coughing or shortness of breath, please consult a pulmonologist or allergist.2026-06-26

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic skin condition in which allergic mechanisms cause ongoing inflammation of the skin. It causes severe itching and recurring eczema, and the skin can become thick and rough (lichenification). It tends to occur when a person with a genetic predisposition is exposed to allergy triggers, and symptoms can worsen with spring pollen, house dust mites, and fine particulate matter. If symptoms persist, please consult an allergist or a dermatologist.2026-06-26

Fine Dust (Particulate Matter) and Health
#particulate matter, #fine particulate matter (PM2.5), #Asian dust (yellow dust), #respiratory system, #mask, #KF80, #KF94, #asthma, #air pollution, #dry cough, #minor cough, #persistent cough
Fine dust consists of tiny particles floating in the air. It directly affects the respiratory tract, including the nose, bronchi, and lungs, and can also harm the whole body, including the heart, brain, and blood vessels, through the bloodstream. Long-term exposure increases the risk of asthma, reduced lung function, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease. On days when fine dust levels are high, limit outdoor activities, and people at high risk are advised to wear a health protection mask.2026-06-26
