As the cold passes, inviting fine dust is on the rise this time.

Due to the stagnation of air, fine dust accumulated at home and abroad has increased the concentration of ultra-fine dust in all countries except Jeju Island to around 70 micrograms per cubic meter.

Up to three times more dust than the annual average.

The Ministry of Environment predicted that air quality would be worse due to the addition of extra fine dust from the morning.

Accordingly, in the metropolitan area and Chungbuk area, fine dust emergency reduction measures were issued for the first time this winter.

When emergency reduction measures are issued, the parking lot of administrative and public institutions will be completely closed, and an enhanced two-part 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.
