Abstract

The primary pollutants such as sulfur dioxide andcarbon monoxide tend to be gradually improved due topromotion of fuel policy etc. However, secondary pollutantssuch as ozone and fine dust are getting worse. Hence, it isnecessary to strengthen regulations on VOCs.<br>Incheon city has located large industrial complexes such asexport industrial complex, Namdong industrial complex,Incheon mechanical industrial complex, Incheon districtindustrial complex, Incheon casting industrial complex. Theseindustrial complexes are mainly composed of large-scalemanufacturing industries and chemical industries such asmachinery, equipment, assembly metal, automobile, andprimary metal. However, these industrial complexes are mixedwith residential areas in the city center, and it is also a source ofodor generation that can cause complaints by odor inducingsubstances and VOCs.<br>In this study, in order to it’s investigate the generalcharacteristics of the Namdong industrial complex and thepresent status of the odor complaints, and we analyzed VOCsitems by using the data of photochemical pollutantmeasurement network operated in the vicinity of industrialcomplex, and measured the concentration emitted from theodor control facility of the Namdong Industrial Complex andthe odor emission control to analyze the current situation.
