Across South Korea, air quality monitoring traditionally relied on manual assessments of particulate matter (PM) levels. This method provided sporadic insights into pollution data, failing to address frequent spikes in PM pollution nationwide. Despite occasional mitigation efforts like water spraying, numerous areas, including government offices and public spaces, consistently experienced PM levels exceeding acceptable limits, posing health risks to residents and visitors.
To address these widespread air quality concerns, officials throughout South Korea decided to implement StaticAir's PAMARES Outdoor Air Purifier. Renowned for its efficacy in urban environments, PAMARES was selected to provide a technology-driven solution to the air pollution problem. The installations included live demonstrations to showcase the system's effectiveness, using real-time data from PM monitors to track its performance. The units were strategically placed in public places with high particulate concentrations, across different South Korean cities including Seoul, Busan, Incheon, Goyang, and Suwon.
Efficiency: Following the nationwide deployment of PAMARES, substantial improvements in air quality were reported. Real-time data indicated a notable decrease in pollution levels surrounding the PAMARES units in various cities. Field tests during demonstrations further validated the system's efficacy, recording significant reductions in PM levels even beyond the designated coverage areas.
Health Benefits: The installation of PAMARES led to a noticeable reduction in respiratory issues among residents and tourists in cities across South Korea. Improved air quality contributed to increased confidence in the government's commitment to providing a healthy environment.
Environmental Impact: The success of the PAMARES system across South Korea has increased greater environmental awareness among local communities and government officials. The effective reduction of particulate matter established a benchmark for sustainable practices, encouraging other regions to consider similar solutions for their air quality challenges.
