Daegu Environment Office Supports 90% of Installation Costs for Pollution Prevention Facilities at Small-Scale Businesses

On the 17th, the Daegu Regional Environmental Office announced that it will support the installation of air pollution prevention facilities for small-scale businesses in the Daegu and Gyeongbuk regions through this year's Small-scale Business Prevention Facility Installation Support Project.

The Small-scale Business Prevention Facility Installation Support Project covers 90% of the costs when installing prevention facilities. Since its implementation in 2019, approximately 1,173 business sites have received support for installing prevention facilities through this national subsidy project.

This year, a budget of 19.7 billion KRW for the Daegu area and 19.1 billion KRW for the Gyeongbuk area has been secured.

The Daegu Regional Environmental Office, based on odor prevention regulations and other laws, supports local governments in cooperation with the Ministry of Environment to provide financial assistance when small-scale businesses install prevention facilities, and also supports the installation of Internet of Things (IoT) measuring devices.

Through the installation of IoT measuring devices, measurement data from the devices are transmitted to the Korea Environment Corporation system to manage the operational status of the prevention facilities.

Businesses in need of support can contact the Daegu·Gyeongbuk Green Environment Support Center, and detailed information can be found in the project announcements on the city and county websites.

Choi Jong-won, head of the Daegu Regional Environmental Office, stated, “Through the Small-scale Prevention Facility Installation Support Project, we will assist businesses in improving their prevention facilities to reduce fine dust and contribute to regional environmental improvement,” and added, “We request active participation from businesses.”
