ABSTRACT

This study utilizes system dynamics to examine the effects of fine dustreduction policies on PM10 concentration and health. System dynamics has the advantage of modeling the dynamic and circularrelationship between PM10 emission sources,reduction policies, PM10 concentration, and health effect. The study created policy scenarios for Korea’s representative fine dust reduction policies – industrial PM10 emission control, diesel vehicle regulation, expansion of electric vehicles, and expansion of parks and green areas – and compared the results with the 2030 baseline if the current trend is maintained. The analysis showed that the policy of supporting electric vehicles reduced PM10 concentration by 0.21 μg/m3 and reduced the number of people with circulatory diseases by 494, and the effect was evenly distributed across the country. The industrial emissions regulation scenario resulted in the highest PM10 concentration reduction of 0.22 μg/m3 , but had a lower reduction in the number of people affected (358) than the EV support strategy, which could be attributed to the fact that this policy had a particularly high PM10 reduction effect in industrial areas such as Danyang-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do, and Sahagu, Busan. As a policy implication, this study suggests that it is necessary to apply fine dust policies tailored to the characteristics of local emission sources.
