Uiwang City: "Check Air Quality with Fine Dust Traffic Light"

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Uiwang City announced on the 3rd that it has installed "fine dust traffic lights" at six locations with high foot traffic including subway stations, parks, and bus stops to protect the health of vulnerable populations such as the elderly and children from fine dust, and has begun operating them this month.

The fine dust traffic lights installed this time change color and emoticon (expression) according to fine dust concentration.

On days with good air quality, it displays blue; on average days, green; on bad days, yellow; and on very bad days, red. As a result, anyone can easily check fine dust conditions in their daily life.
