Daejeon City announced that it will receive a special grant of 400 million KRW from the Ministry of the Interior and Safety for the installation of remote management equipment at odor emission facilities in North Daejeon.

The city plans to invest this special grant in upgrading the North Daejeon Odor Management System. Measurement devices will be installed at the odor emission outlets of workplaces to enable real-time odor monitoring, odor diffusion prediction, and impact analysis, encouraging voluntary odor reduction.

In the North Daejeon area, where complaints have surged recently due to an increase in residents moving in, the city has made efforts to reduce odors by operating a 24-hour comprehensive odor control center, an odor reduction task force, a public-private consultative body, and providing consulting for workplace odor reduction.

Lee Jangwoo, Mayor of Daejeon, said, "Securing this special grant has given momentum to the North Daejeon odor reduction project," and added, "We will continue to do our best to create a pleasant atmospheric environment in our region through ongoing communication with the central government."
