[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Gimhae City, Gyeongnam Province, announced on the 25th that it will conduct special inspections of odor-focused management businesses throughout June to prepare for the summer season.

The city will inspect 28 locations in the Bugok and Yuha-dong odor management areas, which are chronic odor complaint zones, as well as the Jinyeong Bonsan semi-industrial complex. The inspections will check whether air pollution control facilities and odor reduction facilities are operating normally, and odor pollution tests will be conducted if necessary.

Businesses violating guidelines will face administrative sanctions, while those showing efforts to reduce odor and willingness to improve facilities will receive technical support and partial installation cost assistance.

Additionally, odor sources will be tracked and monitored through eight real-time operating odor monitoring systems, mobile measurement vehicle equipment, drones, and environmental inspectors working day and night.

Kim Sang-jun, Director of the Environment Bureau, stated, “We will do our best to create a pleasant living environment through continuous inspections and support for odor improvement at business sites.”
