9 State-of-the-Art 'Fine Dust Free Zone Shelters' Opened at 9 Bus Stops in Gangnam-gu

Equipped with Fine Dust Reduction Device and Sterilization System... Emergency Bell Linked with U-Gangnam Urban Control Center, Fire Station, and Police Station

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gangnam-gu (District Mayor Jeong Soon-gyun) has installed 'Fine Dust Free Zone Shelters' equipped with state-of-the-art sterilization systems at 9 bus stops along the Teheran-ro section from Gangnam Station to Samsung Station, opening them on the 21st.

The 'Fine Dust Free Zone Shelter' removes over 90% of roadside fine dust using an electrostatic precipitator and activated carbon, purifying the outside air and maintaining the indoor fine dust at a 'Good' level by circulating the purified air inside.

The indoor temperature is automatically controlled by heating and cooling devices, and heated seats are installed to help passengers avoid the cold while waiting for the bus.

Last year, the district conducted a pilot operation at bus stops in front of Apgujeong Galleria Department Store and Gangnam Tax Office. The shelters installed this time have an additional sterilization system using UV LED light on the fine dust reduction device to prevent the spread of viral infections.

In particular, the shelters are equipped with a bus information guidance system independently developed by Gangnam-gu, providing real-time video updates on bus arrival status and times. The CCTV and lifestyle information kiosks linked with the 'The Gangnam' app allow simple web searches and even wireless phone charging, enhancing convenience for residents.

Additionally, an emergency bell system connected to the U Gangnam Urban Control Center, fire station, and police station has been established, allowing safe use 24 hours a day.
