Kimje's air quality reflects the flat Jeollabuk-do Saemangeum coastal reclamation plain position on the Yellow Sea, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the rice farming and agricultural corridor contributing local sources. Yellow Sea breezes provide coastal ventilation, while seasonal Chinese dust transport elevates PM10 and the flat agricultural plain generally maintains moderate South Korean southwestern coastal agricultural plain readings throughout most of the year.
