[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Periodic ventilation of enclosed spaces is being emphasized to prevent COVID-19.

However, in facilities mainly used by vulnerable groups prone to fine dust-related illnesses, ventilation is often hesitated due to concerns about the indoor inflow of harmful outdoor substances.

Jung-gu, Seoul (Mayor Seoyangho) is addressing this issue by installing fine dust blocking dustproof windows in facilities used by vulnerable groups in the area by the end of this month.

The target facilities for installation include a total of 88 locations such as senior centers, daycare centers, kindergartens, nursing centers for the elderly, and welfare centers within the district.

The fine dust blocking dustproof windows block the inflow of harmful outdoor substances while ventilating stagnant indoor air, providing a triple effect of fine dust blocking, COVID-19 spread prevention, and insect protection.

According to the manufacturer, the dustproof windows to be installed this time are made of patented nanofibers, blocking fine dust inflow while maintaining about 50% ventilation rate, allowing windows to be opened for ventilation even on days with severe fine dust, and have been designated as an innovative prototype.

The district completed on-site measurements for the installation locations through consulting visits by the manufacturer from the 22nd of last month to early this month, and plans to complete the production and installation of all 88 facilities by the end of this month.

Additionally, in October, the district will concurrently carry out an installation project of 'Artificial Intelligence Smart IoT Air Showers' targeting a total of 8 locations including local elementary and middle schools and nursing centers.

The smart air shower is installed at building entrances, detects human movement, and removes ultrafine dust attached to the body and clothes by suction, purifying indoor air with a large-scale air cleaning function.

Moreover, the LED sterilizer on the side of the device sterilizes and deodorizes the air, capturing viruses to create a comfortable indoor environment.

Seoyangho, Mayor of Jung-gu, said, "We will create a healthy Jung-gu where residents can live with peace of mind by preparing various support measures not only for COVID-19 prevention but also for ultrafine dust countermeasures."
