Anyang City Mobilizes All-Out Response to Spring High-Concentration Fine Dust

[Suwon Ilbo=Yu Je-seong Reporter] Anyang City announced on the 16th that it is making an all-out effort to respond to ultrafine dust in accordance with the Ministry of Climate and Energy's 'Fine Dust Seasonal Management System' in preparation for high-concentration fine dust occurrence in spring.

In spring, atmospheric pollution factors increase due to expanded outdoor activities, expanded construction projects, and stagnant weather conditions, which can lead to more days when ultrafine dust concentration reaches a 'bad' level.

Accordingly, the city is pushing forward intensive guidance and inspections in the fields of citizen health protection and emission source management with the goal of reducing ultrafine dust concentration.

First, in the field of citizen health protection, the city will intensively manage indoor air quality at multi-use facilities such as childcare centers and elderly care facilities, strengthen management of fine dust shelters and residential areas, and expand road surface cleaning in intensively managed roads to remove airborne dust.

Additionally, to reduce fine dust that may be generated at construction sites, the city will inspect the installation of dust barriers and the operation of water spray facilities, and will take immediate corrective measures if violations are found.

Park Mi-sook, Director of the Climate and Atmosphere and Energy Division, stated, "We hope you will actively participate in reducing fine dust by making a habit of walking short distances and using bicycles and public transportation."
