Abstract—The primary pollutants such as sulfur dioxide and
carbon monoxide tend to be gradually improved due to
promotion of fuel policy etc. However, secondary pollutants
such as ozone and fine dust are getting worse. Hence, it is
necessary to strengthen regulations on VOCs.
Incheon city has located large industrial complexes such as
export industrial complex, Namdong industrial complex,
Incheon mechanical industrial complex, Incheon district
industrial complex, Incheon casting industrial complex. These
industrial complexes are mainly composed of large-scale
manufacturing industries and chemical industries such as
machinery, equipment, assembly metal, automobile, and
primary metal. However, these industrial complexes are mixed
with residential areas in the city center, and it is also a source of
odor generation that can cause complaints by odor inducing
substances and VOCs.
In this study, in order to it’s investigate the general
characteristics of the Namdong industrial complex and the
present status of the odor complaints, and we analyzed VOCs
items by using the data of photochemical pollutant
measurement network operated in the vicinity of industrial
complex, and measured the concentration emitted from the
odor control facility of the Namdong Industrial Complex and
the odor emission control to analyze the current situation.
Index Terms—VOCs, odor, industrial complex, Incheon.
