Yellow dust is a weather phenomenon in East Asia. It starts in the Gobi desert and picks up air pollution as it passes over industrial areas. This is why you see pictures of people wearing masks. The etymology of the word comes from two hanja characters. 황 Which translates to yellow. And 사 which translates to dust or sand.

On another note, I'd advise not using simplified Hanzi here. Simplified is NOT in any way shape or form part of Korean
Its a term for the sand (tiny particles&pollution) picked up from the asian deserts and cities by tje spring winds blowing from the west. https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E9%BB%83%E7%A0%82
