The ruling Saenuri Party and the government vowed to draw up a comprehensive set of measures to address the high level of fine dust that's been plaguing Seoul in recent weeks.
At a policy meeting Thursday,... the ruling party and the government vowed to gradually close aging thermoelectric power plants... and make the nation's transportation system more eco-friendly.
But they decided not to carry out controversial moves that could burden middle and low income brackets like raising diesel oil prices... or regulate restaurants that specialize in grilling mackerel or pork.
Late last month,... the environment ministry sparked public outcry by announcing restaurants contributed to the dangerous level of air pollutants.
