Uijeongbu's air quality reflects the flat Gyeonggi-do northern Seoul metropolitan corridor adjacent to US Army Garrison Casey, with vehicle traffic on surrounding expressways and the military, residential, and commercial character contributing elevated NOₓ. Seasonal Chinese dust transport elevates PM10 during spring yellow dust episodes, while the broader Seoul metropolitan regional background maintains moderate to elevated Seoul northern metropolitan suburban readings throughout the year.
