Echo patterns are similarity-based hypotheses, not proof of causation. Open the sources and evaluate the linkage yourself.
Evidence Scorecard
Three lenses — wording, timing, documented link. Not a single proof score.
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.
