Pyeongtaek City Implements Free Vehicle Emission Gas Inspection Service

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Pyeongtaek City will implement a "free vehicle emission gas inspection service" from this month through June.

The service will be conducted at 23 administrative welfare centers across the city's districts and towns, as well as at 30 public institutions.

Interested parties can check the schedule on the city's website and visit a nearby administrative welfare center.

For gasoline and gas vehicles, CO/HC levels are measured, and for diesel vehicles, particulate emissions are measured. Vehicles exceeding emission standards are recommended to undergo voluntary maintenance before operation.

A city official stated, "Once the COVID-19 situation stabilizes, we plan to provide on-site free inspections at business locations such as transport company garages upon request," adding, "public interest, participation, and action are crucial for reducing fine dust and improving air quality."
