Gwangju City Signs MOU with Gyeonggi Green Environment Support Center for 'Technical Support for Air Pollutant Emission Facilities'

[Suwon Ilbo=Lim In-yong] Gwangju City and the Gyeonggi Green Environment Support Center signed a ‘MOU for Technical Support of Air Pollutant Emission Facilities’ on the 29th to improve regional air quality and establish eco-friendly environmental management at businesses.

This agreement was prepared to support the practical difficulties faced by businesses struggling with the operation of air pollutant prevention facilities due to technical and financial constraints, moving away from guidance and enforcement-focused environmental administration.

The agreement aims to strengthen on-site technical support for businesses facing increased management burden due to the introduction of the latest environmental regulations and aging facilities.

In particular, as the installation of Internet of Things (IoT) measurement devices becomes mandatory for Category 4 and 5 small-scale businesses by December 31 this year, the burden of device installation, maintenance, and management has emerged as a major challenge for businesses.

Accordingly, the two organizations plan to enhance the operational stability of IoT systems at small-scale businesses through on-site technical support and establish a systematic management foundation for air emission and prevention facilities.

In addition, they plan to secure the reliability of measurement data and simultaneously pursue customized diagnosis and consultation tailored to each business.
