Yongin City Introduces Air Quality Measurement Vehicle to Address Fine Dust and Odor

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Park No-hun] Yongin City announced on the 13th that it will deploy an air quality measurement vehicle capable of real-time measurement of fine dust and odor.

The vehicle is equipped with fine dust measurement equipment identical to that used at the air pollution measurement stations operated by the city, enabling fine dust measurement in areas such as Wonsam-myeon, Yangji-myeon, and Namsa-myeon in Cheoin-gu where measurement stations are not currently available.

Additionally, the vehicle is equipped with composite odor measurement equipment and unmanned collection equipment, allowing real-time measurement and remote collection around asphalt plants, food waste processing facilities, and livestock farms where odor complaints frequently occur.

The city plans to conduct thorough investigations of areas where fine dust measurement has been difficult and actively utilize the data for fine dust response measures including seasonal management programs.

Based on the measurement results, the city will identify the time and concentration of odor emissions from relevant facilities, analyze the causes, and implement measures to improve odor problems.

A city official stated, "We will explore various measures to effectively respond to fine dust and odor emissions from business facilities and provide residents with a pleasant atmospheric environment."
