[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Busan Gijang-gun has installed and started operating three 'Mobile Integrated Environmental Measuring Devices' linked to the nation's first odor integrated control center as part of new non-face-to-face environmental pollution monitoring and prevention measures in preparation for the post-COVID era.

The mobile integrated environmental measuring devices are equipped with fine dust meters (Grade 1 simplified fine dust measuring device, measuring PM10 and PM2.5), composite air quality sensors (high-performance sensors for CO, NO2, SO2, composite odors, etc.), composite weather sensors (high-performance sensors for temperature, wind direction, wind speed, etc.), noise meters (Ministry of Environment type-approved products), and CCTV (25x optical zoom cameras).

To maintain a constant monitoring system in industrial complexes, industrial areas, and complaint-prone areas within the jurisdiction, one mobile integrated environmental measuring device was installed on a movable base near the retaining wall around pollutant-emitting businesses.

Two devices, equipped with wheels, will be moved and installed in areas with frequent complaints, construction sites, and factory-dense areas, and will be operated year-round and as needed.

A Gijang-gun official stated, "Using the mobile integrated environmental measuring devices for environmental monitoring allows enforcement without restrictions of time and place, enabling proactive responses to environmental complaints such as fine dust, odors, and noise."

He added, "At the same time, it will be possible to deliver information about environmental pollution damage to pollutant-emitting businesses and induce voluntary environmental improvements."
