The crackdown targeted fine dust emission businesses during the fine dust seasonal management period (December to March every year).

The detected violations included failure to report the installation of air pollution emission facilities (3 cases) and failure to conduct self-measurement of air pollutants (1 case).

Furniture companies A and B were caught in the crackdown for cutting wood with equipment rated over 15 kW without reporting the installation of air pollutant emission facilities.

Company C operated a boiler with an evaporation rate of 5 tons per hour (reporting required for 0.2 tons or more) for heating a large building without reporting the installation of emission facilities, and company D had reported the installation of air pollutant emission facilities but failed to conduct the required semi-annual self-measurements.

The Special Judicial Police will refer all these business sites to the prosecution and notify the relevant authorities and local governments to request administrative measures.
