Abstract

This study was carried out to assess the neutralization ability of $NH_4\;^+$ and $Ca^{2+}$ on acidity of rainwater in Korea. The rainwater was collected at Suwon, Ansung and Taean area for six months from May to October in 1998. Rainwater samples were analyzed chemical composition and calculated its theoretical pH. As the results, theoretical acidity which calculated by $-log([H^+]+[NH_4\;^+]+[Ca^{2+}])$ in Suwon, Ansung and Taean area were higher 7.9, 8.7, and 6.5 times than measured acidity, respectively. $NH_4\;^+$ more contributed on neutralization of rainwater acidity than $Ca^{2+}$. In case of $Ca^{2+}$ its effect on neutralization of rainwater acidity was higher in Suwon than Ansung and Taean area.

우리나라 강우의 산성도 중화에 미치는 $NH_4\;^+$ 및 $Ca^{2+}$ 영향을 평가하기 위하여 '98년 5월부터 10월까지 6개월 동안 수원, 안성 및 태안지역에 내린 강우의 주요 이온들의 함량을 조사한 결과, $[H^+]+[NH_4\;^+]+[Ca^{2+}]$의 역대수값으로 계산되는 이론적 산성도는 측정된 pH값에 비해 각각 7.9, 8.7 및 6.5배 높았다. 또한 빗물의 산성도 중화에는 $NH_4\;^+$가 $Ca^{2+}$ 보다 기여도가 컸으며, 지역별 $Ca^{2+}$의 영향은 수원지역이 안성 및 태안지역에 비해 크게 나타났다.
