Starting on the 1st of next month, you will be fined 100,000 won if you are caught driving a vehicle with a grade 5 exhaust gas in the metropolitan area. It is a measure in accordance with the ‘Fine Dust Seasonal Management System’ which is in force until March next year.
The government held the fourth Committee of Special Countermeasures on Fine Dust at the Seoul Government Complex on the 2nd, and implemented the second implementation plan of the seasonal fine dust management system to respond to the upcoming period of high concentration of fine dust (December 2020 to March 2021). It was deliberate and determined.
The Special Committee on Fine Dust Countermeasures is a committee belonging to the Prime Minister that deliberates on major policy issues related to fine dust, and is co-chaired by Prime Minister Sye-gyun Jeong and Professor Moon Gil-ju of the University. from Korea. The government previously implemented the first implementation plan for the seasonal management system from December last year to March this year. As a result, it was found that 22,000 tons of fine dust were reduced compared to the previous year.
The second implementation plan was a little stronger than the first. First, an offensive was established against vehicles with Grade 5 emissions. Currently, Seoul is implementing an offensive against Class 5 vehicles, but this is limited to those designated as ‘Green Traffic Zones’. Through this seasonal management system, the operation of class 5 vehicles is restricted in all areas of the metropolitan area. The government tried to push it forward last year, but was unable to implement it due to lack of legislation, but in March, the revision of the Special Law on Fine Powder laid the legal foundations.
Environment Minister Cho Myeong-rae will give a briefing on the implementation of the second seasonal fine dust management system at the Seoul Government Complex on the 2nd. News 1
As a result, vehicles that do not have an exhaust gas reduction device (DPF) installed between grade 5 vehicles cannot operate in the metropolitan area from 6 am to 9 pm. In case of violation, a penalty of 100,000 won per day is imposed, excluding weekends and holidays. However, in the case of Gyeonggi Province and Incheon City, vehicles that are unable to install a reduction device or request low-emission measures (vehicles with attached or scrapped DPFs) from local governments are not subject to enforcement. .
In Seoul, vehicles that cannot be equipped with a reduction device are excluded from the crackdown for just one month in December. Vehicles owned by low-income families are also an exception to the crackdown. Even if they are caught in law enforcement and fined for negligence, they can still get a refund if the low-pollution measures are completed by November of next year.
It differs from the first seasonal management system in that it presents the quantitative reduction goal and the expected effect of fine dust. The government has set a goal of reducing direct ultrafine dust emissions by 20% and sulfur oxides by 35% based on emissions over 4 months in 2016 through the second seasonal management system. Furthermore, assuming the weather is the same as the average weather of the last three years, the implementation of this seasonal management system will shorten the number of ‘bad’ ultrafine dust days from 3 to 6 days, and is expected to be reduced. an average concentration of 1.3 to 1.7 ㎍ / ㎥. He said he would.
