[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Muan-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Kim San) announced on the 24th that it has purchased and has been operating a "Mobile Unmanned Odor Collector" since June to eradicate continuously occurring odor complaints.

The county is focusing on installing unmanned odor collectors first in areas with frequent odor complaints within the jurisdiction to prevent odor generation and to respond quickly to odor complaints, minimizing the complaints.

Until now, after receiving odor reports and arriving at the site, it was difficult to collect odors because odor-causing substances disappeared due to air convection, but with the operation of this unmanned odor collector, air at the odor generation point can be collected immediately, minimizing the time lag with on-site dispatch, which is expected to partially resolve difficulties related to odor complaints.

A Muan-gun official said, "Odor is a sensory pollution, and even if it is within the standard level, the degree of damage may vary depending on the individual," adding, "With the establishment of an unmanned odor management system, we will continue efforts to minimize inconvenience to residents by promptly responding to odor complaints during times when monitoring is weak."
