In the form of a total war, fine dust measures are being pursued.The establishment of the Fine Dust Special Act, the establishment of the Fine Dust Special Measures Committee, which is chaired by the Prime Minister, and the formation of the National Climate and Environment Conference by Chairman Ban Ki-moon to gather public opinions were carried out breathlessly.The National Assembly also set up a fine dust special committee earlier. Local governments across the country are busy checking emergency measures. Seasonal management was implemented between December and March.If you turn your eyes to six or seven years ago, you will see something different. The frequency of articles in the media shows this. 2014There were not many fine dust articles before; the average annual report is less than 10% compared to the present.The World Health Organization International Cancer Institute announced in 2013 that fine dust is a Group 1 carcinogen. 2014In January, the forecast system was implemented, which helped to boost the feeling of fine dust. The environmental white paper showed that fine dust was the highest in the metropolitan area in the 1980s.At the time, total dust (TSP) was measured instead of fine dust (PM10) and superfine dust (PM2.5), which was three to four times the current concentration.Of course, PM10 and PM2.5 were much higher, and the explosion of interest in recent years is hard to explain except for changes in feeling.It is worth noting the LondonGolden Smog crisis of December 1952: Five days of high concentrations of Golden Smog, which had softened after more than 4,000 deaths, was a catastrophe.The Air Pollution Committee was formed and after the investigation, it is proposed to enact a Clean Squad Act, which includes prohibition of using chimneys that emit thick smoke, designation of a chimney smoke-free zone, and implementation of emergency measures by local governments at high concentrations.The Cabinets response is surprising: It is a hesitation in enacting the law. Long-time lifestyles, regulation of stove heating in homes, were a political burden.It was a mood that a few citizens considered Londons thick fog and Golden Smog as everyday, and it was very different from what they felt today or felt.The press and experts pressed the clean-up technique to come into effect in 1956, four years later, and the Golden Smog damage in London has decreased noticeably.Now that the awareness of fine dust has increased, it is an opportunity to dramatically improve air quality.Examples include the suspension of old coal-fired power and the restriction on the operation of the fifth-class vehicle, which is expected to be thoroughly resolved before the flow weakens.It is up to everyone to change longstanding practices.

It is worth noting the London Golden Smog crisis of December 1952: Five days of high concentrations of Golden Smog, which had softened after more than 4,000 deaths, was a catastrophe. The Air Pollution Committee was formed and after the investigation, it is proposed to enact a Clean Squad Act, which includes prohibition of using chimneys that emit thick smoke, designation of a chimney smoke-free zone, and implementation of emergency measures by local governments at high concentrations. The Cabinet's response is surprising: It is a hesitation in enacting the law. Long-time lifestyles, regulation of stove heating in homes, were a political burden. It was a mood that a few citizens considered London’s thick fog and Golden Smog as everyday, and it was very different from what they felt today or felt. The press and experts pressed the clean-up technique to come into effect in 1956, four years later, and the Golden Smog damage in London has decreased noticeably.

Now that the awareness of fine dust has increased, it is an opportunity to dramatically improve air quality. Examples include the suspension of old coal-fired power and the restriction on the operation of the fifth-class vehicle, which is expected to be thoroughly resolved before the flow weakens.
