A Study on TSP and Pb Concentration in Atmosphere in Seoul

서울 일부지역의 도로변 대기중 분진 및 납 농도에 대한 조사연구

This study was performed to determine the concentrations of airborne TSP, Pb and street dust Pb in Kuro, Chongro, Namsan Tollgate and kwachun from August 15 to September 15, 1990.The results of this study are as follows. 1. Average airborne TSP concentrations in chongro and Kuro were 460$\mu$g/m$^{3}$ and 440$\mu$g/m$^}3}$, respectively, and exceeded the Korean air quality standards of 300$\mu$g/m$^{3}$. Average airborne TSP concentrations in Namsan Tollgate and Kwachun were 270$\mu$g/m$^{3}$ and 80$\mu$g/m$^{3}$, respectively, and didn't exceeded the Korean air quality standards of 300$\mu$g/m$^{3}$. The airborne TSP concentrations between Seoul area(Kuro, Chongro and Namsan Tollgate) and Kwachun area were significantly different (p < 0.01). 2. Average airborne Pb concentrations in Chongro, Kuro, Namsan Tollgate and Kwachun were 1.07, 0.55, 0.84 and 0.16$\mu$g/m$^{3}$, respectively. All the airborne Pb concentration at four area were below the Korean air quality standards of 1.5$\mu$g/m$^{3}$. The airborne Pb concentrations between Seoul area (Kuro, Chongro and Narnsan Tollgate) and Kwachun area were significantly different (p < 0.01). 3. Pb contents in street dusts in Kuro, Chongro, Namsan Tollgate and Kwachun were 9.30, 15.25, 18.17 and 3.16$\mu$g/g, respectively. The Pb contents in street dusts between Seoul area(Kuro, Chongro and Namsan Tollgate) and Kwachun area were significantly different (p < 0.01). 4. The airborne TSP and Pb concentrations were highly correlated(r=0.68), but the Pb concentrations in street dusts and atmosphere were poorly correlated(r=0.22).
