[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] The Incheon City Health and Environment Research Institute has completed the installation of the 'Fine Dust Weighing Robot System' and will conduct trial operations this month before fully operating it from February.

The Fine Dust Weighing Robot System is a precision measurement device capable of weighing differences as small as one-millionth of a gram (g) by eliminating error factors that affect concentration calculation through weight measurement.

It can reduce measurement errors caused by working environment factors such as temperature, humidity, and static electricity, as well as the skill level of the operator during the weight measurement of fine dust.

In particular, ultrafine dust, which is about 1/30th the thickness of a human hair (60㎛), has posed significant challenges in minimizing measurement errors caused by operators. However, with the introduction of the Fine Dust Weighing Robot System, which allows precise control and 24-hour operation, it is expected to provide citizens with more accurate and prompt fine dust data.

The Health and Environment Research Institute provides real-time fine dust concentration measurements through continuous automatic fine dust measuring devices installed at urban air and roadside air monitoring stations to help citizens prepare for high-concentration fine dust damage.

To provide more accurate and reliable data, the institute has introduced the Fine Dust Weighing Robot System for equivalency evaluation by comparing and verifying it with national standard equipment.

Kwon Moonju, Director of the Incheon City Health and Environment Research Institute, stated, "Through the introduction of the weighing robot system, we will continuously provide citizens with highly reliable and accurate air quality data."
