South Korea will begin providing real-time air quality videos and data for the Korean Peninsula and neighboring areas to the public, using data from its environmental satellite launched last year.

The Ministry of Science and ICT, the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Oceans Fisheries announced the plan on Sunday.

The new public service will be provided from Monday on the homepage (https://nesc.nier.go.kr) of the environmental satellite center of the National Institute of Environmental Research.

The ministries said that the service will provide data of seven types of air pollutants, including nitrogen dioxide, ozone and aerosol optical depth. Additional data on sulfur dioxide levels during natural disasters will also be provided.

The service will be supplied based on data sent from the Chollian-2B satellite, launched in February last year.
