668 Odor-Emitting Facilities Concentrated in Daegu's Seongseo Area, 35 Years of Suffering... City Councilor Kim Giyeol: "Daegu City Must Offer a Solution Now"

Daegu City Council member Kim Giyeol (People Power Party, Dalseo-gu 2) pointed out the concentration of odor-emitting facilities in the Seongseo area during a five-minute free speech at the first plenary session of the 329th extraordinary session on October 8, calling for odor-reduction measures that residents can feel and more proactive administrative and financial support from Daegu City.

Kim said, "Of the more than 2,600 odor-emitting facilities across Daegu, the largest number, 668, are concentrated in the Seongseo area. Residents are suffering ongoing harm, compounded by odors from nearby Bangcheon-ri landfill, incineration facilities, and sewage treatment plants."

Kim noted that the problem involves "complex odors," rather than simple odors from a single business, and argued that "Daegu City's current management measures are limited in their ability to detect and respond to residents' exposure to odors in a timely manner."

To create a pleasant residential environment in the Seongseo area, he proposed strengthening inspections and response systems to coincide with periods of intense odors from the Bangcheon-ri waste landfill, expanding support for small local odor-emitting businesses to replace aging odor-control facilities, and establishing a cooperation system tailored to local conditions in partnership with Dalseo-gu and relevant agencies.

Kim urged Daegu City to develop proactive measures, saying, "It is time for the city to present a clear solution to residents who have endured 35 years of suffering from odors."
