Incheon City has become the first metropolitan local government to establish an integrated air quality control center, which officially began operations on the 20th.


The integrated control center, installed at City Hall with an investment of 1.6 billion KRW, monitors various data collected in real-time from 33 weather measurement devices, 60 odor measurement devices, and 40 fine dust measurement devices installed throughout Incheon.

The city plans to use the integrated control center to quickly resolve odor complaints by analyzing causes based on a Geographic Information System (GIS) and to systematically manage fine dust and odor-emitting business sites.


Additionally, the existing enforcement system restricting the operation of old diesel vehicles will be transferred to the integrated control center to manage vehicle operations more efficiently.



An official from Incheon City stated, "Incheon is the first among domestic metropolitan governments to integrate air quality control networks scattered across frontline local governments," adding, "We will swiftly resolve air-related complaints based on scientific data and create a pleasant living environment."
