- 5 years ago
U.S. Forces Korea is changing its dress code due to the the worsening air quality in Korea.
From now on, American troops will be allowed to wear a face mask while in uniform... if fine dust concentration levels reach the "unhealthy for sensitive groups" category,.... which is the fourth most serious of six categories,.... according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's air quality index.
U.S. Forces Korea said,.... the change comes at the request of the troops' families who said the soldiers should be protected from bad air quality while on duty.
Previously only those at Osan U.S. Air Base were allowed to wear a face mask.
