We have target of 30% reduction of fine dust emission in 2022 when compared with the special measures for fine dust management in 2016 as a comprehensive dust management policy. There is a big difference between the power generation sector and the industrial sector in terms of domestic emission reduction policy measures. Plans for an eco-friendly cooperative system and network for the protection of sensitive groups are being proceeded.
We investigated the characteristics of comprehensive measures for fine dust management and measures to reduce fine dust in the metropolitan area. And we also suggested improvement plans for the particulate management in Korea.
Index Terms—Fine dust (PM10), ultrafine dust (PM2.5).
