Comparison of Responses to P-2.5 in China and Korea

We compared the responses to fine particles in China and Korea. We compared major policies, examined the results, and checked whether any parts of responses in Korea fell short. Since 2013, the two countries have been implementing relevant measures around the same time, but little interest was shown for Korea from the international community or academia. The publication of the results of major measures in peer-reviewed journals is of greater importance in that the justification of our measures is acknowledged by experts in the field. Although the analysis of the response results is being attempted mainly from a modeling point of view in Korea, both the influence of China, which is one of the most important factors, and ammonia emissions have not been sufficiently considered. It is also unfortunate that analyses using monitoring data or modeling analysis along with monitoring data are rare.
