Jeonghae in Jeonbuk reflects the flat Jeollabuk-do agricultural and light industrial position, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and agricultural operations contributing local sources. Seasonal Chinese dust transport elevates PM10 during spring yellow dust episodes, while the regional agricultural background maintains moderate South Korean southwestern provincial corridor readings throughout most of the year.
