Abstract

Cloud/fog water was collected at Daegwallyeong, a typical clean environmental area, by using an active fog sampler during the foggy period in 2002, The pH ranged from 3,7 to 6,5 with a mean of 5,0, but the pH calculated from average concentrations of $H^+$ was 4.4. $SO_4^{2-},\;NO_3^-\;and\;NH_4^+$ were predominant ions with average concentrations of 473,3, 463,3 and $576,0\;{\mu}eq/L$, respectively, This showed that cloud/fog water was slightly acidified, but the concentrations of major pollutants were as high as those for polluted area, suggesting effect from long range transported pollutants, Samples were categorized into four groups (E, W, S, N) by applying 48-h back trajectory analysis using the Hybrid Single-Particle Largrangian Integrated Trajectory (HYSPLIT) model. Concentrations of seasalt $(Na^+\;and\;Cl^-)$ were the highest for group E, indicating large input of seasalts by air masses transported from the East Sea. The concentrations of $SO_4^{2-}$ were slightly higher in group W but the difference was not significant. However, the concentrations of $NO_3^-$ were significantly higher in group W than those in other three groups, The median values of cloud/fog water pH for group N and W were below 4,5, which is significantly lower than median values in group E and group S, This suggests that the acidifying pollutants were transported from the Asia continents and Seoul metropolitan area cause acidification of the cloud/fog water in Daegwallyeong.
