As the cold passed, the intruder fine dust started to rise.

Atmospheric concentrations of fine dust at home and abroad have increased the concentration of ultrafine dust in central and Yeongnam regions up to 50 micrograms per cubic meter.

It is up to twice as dusty as the annual average.

The Ministry of Environment expects that air quality will deteriorate significantly as additional fine dust comes in from the morning.

As a result, fine dust emergency reduction measures were issued for the first time this year.

When the fine dust emergency reduction measures are issued, the parking lot of administrative and public institutions will be completely closed, and the two-part enhanced vehicle system including light cars will be implemented at administrative and public institutions.

Even Even Today can only operate vehicles with an even number at the end of the vehicle number.

Air pollutant discharge sites such as cogeneration plants will shorten operating hours.

In addition, emission class 5 vehicles are restricted from operation throughout Seoul.

Emergency reduction measures are implemented from 6 am to 9 pm.
