[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Ulsan's air quality monitoring network is being newly upgraded with new equipment.

The Ulsan Health and Environment Research Institute plans to carry out the 'Sample Collection Equipment Replacement Project' for three aging air quality monitoring stations by June.

The project targets two 'Air Heavy Metal Monitoring Stations' in Sinjeong-dong and Yeocheon-dong, Nam-gu, and one 'Roadside Air Monitoring Station' on Sinjeong-ro, Nam-gu. The project budget is 230 million KRW, including national funds.

An institute official said, "This equipment replacement project will further enhance the reliability of the measurement data."

The Air Heavy Metal Monitoring Stations operate to identify pollution levels caused by heavy metals in the ambient air.

The Roadside Air Monitoring Station operates to monitor air quality along roads with high vehicle traffic and pedestrian flow.

The institute currently operates a total of 29 air quality monitoring stations, including 18 urban air monitoring stations, 5 air heavy metal monitoring stations, 3 acid rain monitoring networks, 2 roadside air monitoring stations, and 1 mobile air monitoring network.

The measured data is used as basic data for establishing air quality improvement measures such as fine dust, and can be checked through the institute's website and the Ministry of Environment's 'Airkorea'.
