[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Ju-cheol In] Yeongdeok-gun, Gyeongbuk announced on the 12th that it will take full-scale measures against fine dust, which has emerged as an environmental issue in winter and spring.

With this year declared as the "Clear Air Special City," the county expanded one official air monitoring station and completed an air environment electronic display board in February with an investment of 180 million KRW to provide residents with real-time information on six types of air quality, including ultrafine dust.

The air environment electronic display board installed above the 88 Seonghwa Bridge in Yeongdeok-eup provides weather, fine dust, and disaster-related information, allowing residents to easily check it outdoors in real time.

Using LED technology, the display clearly shows everything from text to videos. The display board will be fully operational starting from the 15th.

Lee Hee-jin, the mayor of Yeongdeok-gun, said, "Yeongdeok is a Clear Air Special City blessed with a pristine natural environment," and added, "Starting from the 15th, we will operate the air environment electronic display board to provide residents with urgent information such as fine dust and disasters."
