Through the collected data, the number and qualifications of technical personnel actually working, the proper management level of outdated equipment, false or fraudulent measurement of environmental pollutants, and unqualified business activities will be intensively inspected.


Gyeonggi Province plans to take strong follow-up actions such as cancellation of registration and prosecution against businesses found to have committed illegal acts during the inspections.



Park Dae-geun, head of the Environmental Health and Safety Division of Gyeonggi Province, stated, "The existing guidance and inspection methods had limitations in managing the rapidly changing environmental service industry. We will comprehensively manage and supervise by integrating scattered data across sectors to ensure there are no blind spots."
