Chungnam, Special Inspection of Ventilation and Air Purification Facilities in Multi-Use Facilities

[Asia Economy (Hongseong) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Chungnam Province announced on the 1st that it will operate a fine dust seasonal management system from this month until March next year and conduct special inspections of indoor air quality at multi-use facilities within the province.

The inspections will target 154 multi-use facilities frequently used by residents, including underground shopping centers, libraries, movie theaters, large-scale stores, and daycare centers.

Among these, facilities used by vulnerable groups such as daycare centers, which require high fine dust management, will be inspected flexibly considering administrative conditions such as COVID-19.

The province plans to check compliance with legal obligations such as proper operation of ventilation equipment and maintaining ultrafine dust (PM-2.5) standards during the inspections, as well as whether proper management is being carried out to maintain comfortable indoor air quality.

Additionally, it will verify whether ventilation and air purification equipment are operating properly and inspect the management status, performance, and replacement cycle of fine dust filters within the ventilation systems.

Lee Nam-jae, Director of the Provincial Climate and Environment Bureau, said, “Winter is a time when people spend more time indoors, making indoor air quality management more important than ever,” and added, “We ask multi-use facility managers to thoroughly manage indoor air quality by properly operating ventilation equipment according to seasonal characteristics.”
