Five 'Fine Dust Traffic Lights' Installed in Guro-gu

Selected high-traffic areas such as Guro Station Plaza, Sindorim Station Transfer Center, and Anyangcheon Ecological Flower Garden... Real-time air quality status displayed with colors and emoticons for easy checking by elderly and children

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Guro-gu (Mayor Lee Seong) has installed five 'Fine Dust Traffic Lights.'

On the 6th, Guro-gu announced that it is carrying out a project to install 'Fine Dust Traffic Lights' so that residents can check air quality information at a glance.

The installation locations are ▲ Guro Station Plaza ▲ Sindorim Station Transfer Center ▲ Exit 3 of Guro Digital Complex Station ▲ Anyangcheon Ecological Flower Garden ▲ Gocheok Neighborhood Park Plaza. Areas around subway stations with high foot traffic and parks were selected as installation sites.

The Fine Dust Traffic Lights display real-time air pollution status using colors and emoticons, allowing anyone to easily understand fine dust information. According to the concentration of ultrafine dust, the levels are indicated as follows: Good (0~15㎍/㎥) in blue, Moderate (16~35㎍/㎥) in green, Bad (36~75㎍/㎥) in yellow, and Very Bad (76㎍/㎥ and above) in red.

For more detailed information, the LED signboard shows the concentration values, and warning messages are displayed when fine dust and ozone advisories or alerts are issued.

Fine dust information is provided by transmitting measurement results from the Guro-gu Urban Air Quality Monitoring Station.

A Guro-gu official stated, “The Fine Dust Traffic Lights are expected to help vulnerable groups who have difficulty using smartphones, such as the elderly and children, to check air quality information,” and added, “We will do our best to provide accurate fine dust information for the health of residents.”
