[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] An air shower utilizing the Internet of Things (IoT) has been introduced for the first time at a domestic port at the Incheon Port Coastal Passenger Terminal.

Incheon Port Authority announced on the 14th that it installed a smart air shower that blocks fine dust and harmful substances at the Coastal Passenger Terminal.

The smart air shower is a gate-type device similar to airport security checkpoints, which detects human movement through IoT sensors and sprays air to remove fine dust attached to the body and clothes.

In addition, the eco-friendly LED sterilizer on the side of the device and natural phytoncide gel sterilize and deodorize the air, block viruses, and use IoT technology to analyze indoor air quality 24 hours a day, providing information on problems and improvement measures.

The authority plans to further strengthen the health protection of terminal users by additionally introducing fine dust measuring devices at the Coastal Passenger Terminal and International Passenger Terminal this month.

Earlier, in January, the authority obtained the 'Indoor Air Quality Certification' for these two terminals for the first time at a domestic port passenger terminal.

All 10 items that can affect respiratory diseases, including fine dust, formaldehyde, carbon monoxide, total volatile organic compounds, and radon, were measured below the standard values, maintaining optimal air quality.

Lee Jeonghaeng, Vice President of Operations at Incheon Port Authority, said, "We introduced the smart air shower to strengthen quarantine measures amid the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic," adding, "We will create a space where the public can breathe safely through thorough indoor environment management of multi-use facilities."
