CSuggestive similarity
Evidence tier

Echo patterns are similarity-based hypotheses, not proof of causation. Open the sources and evaluate the linkage yourself.

Evidence Scorecard

A single score cannot prove an echo. This card triangulates semantic, temporal, and linkage evidence.

Suggestive similarity
Semantic
Strong semantic alignment
Temporal
Global precedent precedes Korea
Linkage
No recorded linkage
Tier C — Suggestive similarity — semantic or keyword overlap + plausible timing
Multilingual semantic similarity
cosine similarity (method detail)0.865

Computed with intfloat/multilingual-e5-small multilingual embeddings. Display score is a calibrated mapping of the raw cross-lingual cosine (0.865); higher means closer meaning. Reflects semantic similarity, not proof of causation.

Aligned sentences

WHO AQG 2021 provide health-based recommendations for six key air pollutants: PM2.5 (annual 5 μg/m³), PM10 (annual 15 μg/m³), O₃ (8-hour 100 μg/m³), NO₂ (annual 10 μg/m³), SO₂ (24-hour 40 μg/m³), CO (24-hour 4 mg/m³).

환경부는 대기환경기준 고시를 통해 WHO AQG 2021을 반영하여 PM2.5 15 μg/m³(IT-2), PM10 50 μg/m³(IT-1), O₃ 100 μg/m³(AQG), NO₂ 30 μg/m³(IT-1), SO₂ 50 μg/m³(IT-2), CO 9 ppm(AQG)을 규정하고 있다.

Could also be…

  • •Parallel domestic policy development is possible.
  • •Industry or market pressure may have driven similar language.
  • •A common external shock (e.g., financial crisis, pandemic) could explain parallel adoption.

Matched concepts: PM2.5 annual 5 μg/m³ (AQG level) ↔ PM2.5 연간 15 μg/m³ (WHO IT-2 수준, AQG로 강화 검토 중); O₃ 8-hour 100 μg/m³ (AQG level) ↔ O₃ 8시간 100 μg/m³ (WHO AQG 수준); interim targets for progressive action ↔ WHO IT-1/IT-2 수준 채택 및 단계적 강화 로드맵; short-term action for high pollution ↔ 미세먼지 계절관리제(12~3월) 및 비상저감조치 발령기준

Cross-lingual similarity 85/100 (multilingual e5 embedding) — a computed signal, not proof.

Similarity type: WHO Global Air Quality Guidelines (AQG 2021) → 환경부 대기환경기준 고시 (ME Air Quality Standards Notice) | PM2.5 annual 5 μg/m³ (AQG level) → PM2.5 연간 15 μg/m³ (WHO IT-2 수준, AQG로 강화 검토 중)

Caveat: semantic similarity only — this tier records a hypothesis, not proof of causal influence.

Score Guide
Confidence — Editorial judgment, now shown as a confidence tier (A–D) based on semantic, temporal, and linkage evidence. Not proof of causation.
Echo Strength — Metadata completeness score. Rewards verified sources, paired links, explicit dates, keyword diversity, and origin tags.
Vocabulary Overlap — Heuristic score measuring shared tokens between global and Korean texts. Reflects loanwords and repeated terms, not meaning across languages.
