“…In order to address the consequences of these atmospheric phenomena, the scientific community in South Korea has recently begun taking a greater interest in the ways that atmospheric phenomena impact people's lives. In the past, research simply focused on the loss of life and damage to the agriculture, fisheries, and manufacturing industries caused by atmospheric phenomena, overlooking their effects on people's daily lives [6] [7] [8] [9]. Most importantly, no study has been conducted regarding the effects on students' lives at school, even though middle and high school students are more impacted by atmospheric conditions than any other demographic group as their physical education classes and recesses are conducted differently based on the day's atmospheric conditions.…”

This study examined how South Korea's regular significant atmospheric phenomena, the yellow dust and the monsoon, affected students' health and academic engagement at school. Five hundred middle and high school students were surveyed to figure out the atmospheric impacts on the students' lives. The results of this study found that the severity of yellow dust and monsoon conditions experienced by the students negatively influenced their academic engagement. However, the variable of students' concerns about their health was shown to have a mediating effect between the intensity of yellow dust and the level of academic engagement. These results indicated the need to alleviate the yellow dust and monsoon atmospheric phenomena and their effects at both the school and national levels in order to improve the academic engagement of students in South Korea.
