Eunpyeong-gu Installs 11 Fine Dust Electronic Display Boards

Installation of Fine Dust Electronic Display Boards in High Foot Traffic Areas

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Eunpyeong-gu installed fine dust electronic display boards at 11 locations last month, including parks with high foot traffic, senior welfare centers, and areas around subway stations, to create an environment where residents can easily access and respond to fine dust information.

Last year, eight locations such as Yeonsinnae Mulbit Park and Gusan Station had been equipped and operated, and this year, the district was selected for the Seoul Metropolitan Government’s fine dust reduction district-specialized project support program, receiving an additional budget of 64 million KRW to expand installations.

Locations with high foot traffic and places where vulnerable groups such as seniors and children gather, including Yangcheon Nuriteo Children's Park, Eunpyeong Senior Welfare Center, Bulgwangcheon Rainbow Bridge, Jeungsan Library, and Seosin Elementary School, were chosen for installation.

Including the air pollution electronic display board located in Bulgwang-dong, a total of 20 fine dust electronic display boards are now in operation, allowing residents to easily check fine dust information anytime and anywhere through thorough management.

These notification display boards are connected to the Health and Environment Research Institute server and show real-time data on (ultra)fine dust, ozone concentration, temperature, and humidity. In particular, based on fine dust concentration, four colors and corresponding faces are displayed for easy recognition from a distance: blue for good (0~15㎍/㎥), green for moderate (16~35㎍/㎥), yellow for bad (36~75㎍/㎥), and red for very bad (76㎍/㎥ and above).

Additionally, during fine dust emergency reduction measures, the boards provide alerts and guidance, advising residents to wear masks when going outside and to refrain from outdoor activities when fine dust levels are high.

A district official stated, “We hope that the installation of these notification display boards will practically help improve the health of seniors and children,” and added, “We will continue to make our best efforts to ensure that Eunpyeong-gu becomes a healthy and safe district with a pleasant environment created together with our residents.”
