[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Young-wook] Gyeongsangbuk-do and Daegu City announced that from the 9th to the 11th, they will form a joint inspection team to conduct a special inspection of vehicle emissions to reduce high concentrations of fine dust during the winter season.

As part of the Hanppuri Win-Win Cooperation Project, Daegu City will support vehicle emission inspection equipment and share technical tasks, while Gyeongbuk Province will provide personnel necessary for inspection work, forming mutual inspection teams for the special inspection.

During this joint inspection, diesel vehicles in operation will be stopped and tested for whether their emissions exceed the allowable limits using smoke measurement equipment. Even after the inspection period ends, the two local governments explained that inspections using video cameras and crackdowns on vehicle idling will continue intermittently.

Choi Dae-jin, Director of the Environment, Forestry, and Resources Bureau of Gyeongbuk Province, stated, "To reduce high concentrations of fine dust in winter, we ask all city and provincial residents to cooperate in reducing emissions through voluntary vehicle maintenance and inspections."
