[Suwon Ilbo=Park Chan-hyuk Reporter] Osan City announced on the 29th that it will implement the 'Seventh Fine Dust Seasonal Management Program' from December through March next year as it enters the winter season when high-concentration fine dust frequently occurs.
The 'Fine Dust Seasonal Management Program' is a system to reduce citizen damage from fine dust and ultrafine dust by implementing strengthened reduction measures compared to normal times during periods when high-concentration fine dust is frequent. It has been promoted every year since 2019.
In preparation for full implementation, the city plans to conduct mock crackdowns on vehicle operation restrictions for 5-level emission standard vehicles, and will actively encourage emission reduction measures such as low-emission device installation for violating vehicles.
During the seasonal management period, the city will focus on intensive management of fine dust emission sources including △inspections of illegal emission facilities △crackdowns on vehicle exhaust emissions △enforcement of idling restriction zones △concentrated collection of agricultural waste △management of air emission facilities △indoor air quality inspections at multi-use facilities.
Jang Hyun-ju, Director of the City's Environmental Division, stated, "Ultrafine dust (PM-2.5) is as small as 1/40th the thickness of human hair, making it easy to penetrate the body through the respiratory system and cause various diseases. Through special winter crackdowns, we will minimize fine dust emissions and do our best to protect citizen health."
