The seasonal fine dust management system refers to promoting stronger-than-normal abatement policies for four months from December to March of the following year, when high concentrations of fine dust often occur.
During this period, Gyeonggi Province announced on the 26th that it will implement the ‘Gyeonggi-do Fine Dust Seasonal Management System’ by selecting 15 tasks in the four main sectors: ▲ Transportation, industry, life and health protection .
The province first enforces restrictions on the operation of fifth class vehicles throughout the province and promotes zeroing so that all fifth class vehicles are low pollution through support projects.
With the implementation of the Special Law on Fine Dust in March this year, Class 5 vehicles are subject to repression in Gyeonggi Province and the entire metropolitan area from March 1 of next month to March 31 of next year.
Operation restrictions are from 6 am to 9 pm on weekdays. If caught, a penalty of 100,000 won will be imposed. However, emergency vehicles such as fire trucks and ambulances, vehicles for the disabled and vehicles of national merit are excluded from the crackdown.
In addition, the repression of vehicles that have requested low-emission measures or that have not developed a vehicle reduction device will be delayed until next March.
The province provides a subsidy of up to 3 million won for the early scrapping of a total of 15.2712 grade 5 vehicles in the province, and an additional 2 million won for the purchase of green vehicles.
In addition, the government decided to limit the use of old construction equipment at 370 government-level construction sites and provide incentives for special inspection of private emission gas inspection centers and a 40% reduction in induction charges for the traffic to encourage private vehicles to voluntarily participate in the second subsidiary system.
The province supports the upgrade of outdated air pollution prevention facilities at small business sites and especially inspects air emission facilities at large business sites.
This year, the province subsidized small businesses and replaced a total of 2,290 prevention facilities. As a result, the dust emission concentration in the facility improvement workplace decreased by 79%. The province will continue to promote related projects next year. In addition, a private monitoring team is being operated for a total of 19,317 air emissions and 7,600 fugitive dust emissions in the province.
The province has 110 shredders and 47 shredders that can incinerate agricultural land debris, such as tree branches and dry grass, for complex urban and rural areas.
To properly collect and dispose of vinyl waste generated during agriculture, a common collection site and illegal incineration monitoring team are also operated.
The total length of 86 roads with high concentrations of fine dust of 487.6 km was designated as an intensive handling road and 412 road sweepers were used to focus on removing dispersed dust from the road.
The province is also promoting a project to expand and distribute domestic boilers to ecological boilers. A subsidy of 200,000 won per boiler is provided to households installed with environmentally friendly condensing boilers and 500,000 won to low-income families. This year the offer of ecological boilers has increased notably and 120,000 units are being supplied, 10 times more than last year.
It verifies the implementation of energy demand management in winter for public institutions, and conducts non-face-to-face campaigns and promotions for residents.
To minimize exposure to fine dust in daily life, the province strengthens the notification function to citizens through the radio broadcast of ‘Gyeonggi-do Air Environmental Information’ and installs and operates a fine dust signal light. to protect vulnerable information.
Additionally, in order to strengthen the indoor air quality management of facilities used by the vulnerable, the indoor space improvement project will be expanded to install environmentally friendly wallpaper, flooring and ventilation purifiers in facilities used by the vulnerable. such as rehabilitation facilities, senior centers and regional children’s centers.
In addition, a demonstration project to install and operate a new technology abatement device that removes fine dust in intercity buses, multipurpose facilities and classrooms, and seven specially managed fine dust intensive handling areas, etc. You are planning to implement countermeasures against fine dust.
“Gyeonggi-do has the highest number of population, automobile and factory records in the country, so the cause of fine dust is very high.” “We have expanded our policies for the life and health protection sectors so that we can experience the effect of reducing dust.”
