1. What is Fine Dust? ๐ค
์ด๋ฏธ์ธ๋จผ์ง๋?
Fine dust is tiny particles in the air, classified into PM10 (fine dust) and PM2.5 (ultrafine dust) based on their size.

๐น Fine dust (PM10): Particles smaller than 10㎛.
๐น Ultrafine dust (PM2.5): Particles smaller than 2.5㎛, small enough to enter the lungs and bloodstream.

Because ultrafine dust is so small, it can penetrate deep into the respiratory system, causing serious health problems.
