Ulsan Air Quality Monitoring Upgrade... Replacement Project for Aging 'Air Environment Monitoring Network'

Ulsan Health and Environment Research Institute Replaces Equipment at Urban Air Quality Monitoring Station

The Ulsan Health and Environment Research Institute will replace the measurement equipment of the aging air quality monitoring network by the end of August.

The 'Urban Air Quality Monitoring Station equipment' located in Deoksin-ri, Onsan-eup, Ulju-gun, and Gyodong-ri, Samnam-eup, will be replaced, with a total project cost of 230 million KRW, including national funding.

An institute official stated, "Once this project is completed, the accuracy and reliability of air quality measurement data in Ulju-gun will be improved."

The 'Urban Air Quality Monitoring Station' operates to measure air pollutants such as sulfur dioxide (SO2), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOX), ozone (O3), particulate matter (PM-10), and fine particulate matter (PM-2.5) in the air environment.

Currently, there are a total of 29 air quality monitoring networks in the Ulsan area, including 19 urban air quality monitoring stations, 2 roadside air quality monitoring stations, 1 mobile air quality monitoring network, and 7 atmospheric heavy metal monitoring stations.

Data measured here is automatically transmitted to the institute in real time, 24 hours a day, allowing thorough monitoring of Ulsan's air quality.

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