Kim, Moon Joon (2019-12-01). "The effects of transboundary air pollution from China on ambient air quality in South Korea". Heliyon. 5 (12). doi:10.1016/j.heliyon.2019.e02953. ISSN 2405-8440. PMC 6926254. PMID 31890944.

This article discusses the effects of Chinese seasonal activities on air pollution in South Korea. It estimates not only human activity, but also meteorological impacts on air quality. This is a journal and scientific study conducted by Moon Joon which was completed by researching and compiling data within the field of meteorology, and also social and economic activity China participates in. This source helped me in the project because it allowed the claim of how bad South Korean air pollution was to be backed up by scientific study.

This article mentions changes in South Korea's Air Pollution Control industry and how it's changed throughout the course of a few years. It mentions known causes of air pollution within the country, and also discussing legislation that they've passed in order to try and control it. It's authoritative because it's a report from the International Trade Administration, and supplemented by Korea's Ministry of Environment. This source helped me in the project because it shows changes in South Korea's air pollution regulations and why/how air pollution has worsened in recent years.

This is just a supplementary source to help with a claim.

This is about how long term exposure to air pollution can affect health in South Korea. This source is authoritative because it is published on a reputable website and it shows where each author is working and they work for schools. I used this source to give information about how exposure over time to air pollution can cause higher morality rates. South Korea has a higher amount of particles compared to other countries like the U.S., Japan, and Europe.

This journal is about how air pollution in South Korea can affect pregnant women's babies. This source is authoritative because the authors work at reputable universities/businesses. I used this source to get more specific or niche information about the negative side affects of inhaling air pollution. Air pollution can cause malformations to babies.

This source is about how urban areas are more affected by air pollution. This source is authoritative because the academic journal is posted on a reputable website and the authors are from good places. I used this to learn about how different areas are affected by air pollution differently.
