This study is a simple theoretical model for the prevention of respiratory symptoms in fine dust environments. The study was conducted on 116 patients who visited the respiratory clinic in Seoul from March 6 to May 7. It was classified as 58 before the new system was applied and 58 after the system was applied. The data were surveyed in a structured questionnaire. The difference in respiratory symptoms through the new system is calculated by t-test. The main findings are as follows. Firstly, the sore throat has improved significantly since the application of the new information system (t=5.29, p=.000). Secondly, coughing decreased significantly when radish was consumed daily than when it was not consumed. Thirdly, the new environment system has reduced respiratory symptoms by 22%. Through this study, we believe that the new environmental system will contribute to the treatment of other diseases as well as respiratory diseases.
