[기상센터][날씨] City center covered with ultrafine dust…Tomorrow’s metropolitan area’Emergency reduction measures for fine dust’

[앵커]

The air quality is getting worse as air stagnation is added to smog from China.

The concentration of ultrafine dust is expected to soar nationwide until tomorrow, and’Emergency Reduction of Highly Concentrated Fine Dust’ will be issued again tomorrow in the metropolitan area and Chungnam.

Reporter Jung Hye-yoon’s report.

The entire city center was covered in dense dust.

The buildings across the river are not even outlined as if they were in a cloudy veil.

The sky also became more hazy as it was trapped in gray dust.

As ultrafine dust, which is bad for respiratory organs, increases rapidly, citizens who do outdoor activities are anxious even if they wear masks.

[이유선 / 서울 논현동 : 따뜻할 줄 알았는데 바람도 약간 불고 미세먼지도 굉장히 많은 것 같아요 호흡도 굉장히 힘들고 목도 칼칼한 게 마스크가 차단을 잘 하고 있는 건지 걱정도 되고요.]

This high concentration of fine dust is caused by the influx of smog from China into the atmosphere.

In Seoul, Gyeonggi, Incheon, and Chungnam areas, the highest concentration of ultrafine dust has soared to around 100㎍, which is usually 4-5 times the level

The metropolitan area even issued preliminary measures to reduce fine dust.

However, the high concentration of fine dust is expected to continue for another day.

The National Institute of Environmental Sciences announced that tomorrow, the concentration of fine dust in most regions of the country will rise to the’bad’ level, and the metropolitan area will soar to the level of’very bad’ once in the morning.

[손정석 / 국립환경과학원 예보관 : 서쪽 지방을 중심으로 전일 미세먼지가 잔류하고, 대기정체와 기류 수렴으로 미세먼지가 축적돼 농도가 높을 것으로 예상됩니다.]

Accordingly,’Emergency Reduction Measures for High Concentrated Fine Dust’ will be issued again tomorrow in the metropolitan area and Chungnam.

It’s been three days since last Friday.

When emergency reduction measures are taken, vehicles with class 5 emissions will be suspended from 6 am to 9 pm. The operation of fine dust-emitting workplaces and construction sites should also be shortened.

From tomorrow night to the morning of the day after tomorrow, this fine dust will rain all over the country, and we will slow down for a while.

However, the amount of rain is low, and after the rain stops, the temperature rises higher than it is now, and it seems difficult to completely escape from air raids caused by atmospheric congestion and foreign fine dust.
