F. Recommending Institutional Arrangements to Promote the Human Rights of Those Vulnerable to the Harmful Effects of Fine Dust Pollution On July 19, we recommended that the Minister of Environment and Minister of Health and Welfare make institutional improvements for the protection and promotion of the health of those vulnerable to fine dust pollution such as persons with disabilities, infants, and seniors. The government has already been implementing related policies based on the Manual to Respond to High-Concentration Fine Dust to Protect High-Risk Groups released in 2015. However, we recognized the need to include persons with disabilities in the high-risk groups pollution like infants and seniors. Also, the air purifier installation rates at childcare centers varied greatly from one region to another, and home-based childcare centers, cooperative childcare centers, and childcare centers measuring 430m2 or less were excluded from the targets of fine dust management. Thus, we viewed it necessary to amend related laws and statutes as infants mostly stay indoors. Seniors taking part in the government's projects aimed at supporting the employment and social activities of seniors are also highly likely to work outdoors and be exposed to fine dust pollution. As such, we recognized the need to take more preventive steps, such as the inclusion of fine dust measures in the Guidelines for Seniors' Health and Welfare Projects. G. Recommending That Public Institutions Apply the Human RightsConscious Management Manual On August 9, we recommended that the heads of 988 public institutions practice human rights-conscious management using the Manual for Human Rights-Conscious Management of Public Institutions to support the achievement of human rights-conscious management at public institutions and to reinforce its institutional foundation. We recommended that the heads of 30 central ministries and 17 upper-level local governments provide support to help their institutions practice management in a human rights-conscious manner and add more items of human rightsconscious management to the assessment criteria of public institution management.
