Emergency reduction measures will not be issued in S. Korea as fine dust concentration falls
- 5 years ago
South Korea's Environment Ministry has decided against issuing emergency fine dust reduction measures today as the air has cleaned up a touch.
That said, average daily concentrations of fine dust particles are forecast to be "bad" for Incheon, northern Gyeonggi-do Province, and Chungcheongnam-do Province.
However, other regions will see "normal" to "good" air quality.
Even for regions recording "bad" levels, no emergency reduction measures to be issued as the levels will not exceed the threshold of 75 micrograms per cubic meter.
The preliminary fine dust reduction measures that were imposed on Monday were lifted at 5:30pm rather than at 9pm as originally planned.
