Abstract

The present operating system for the atmospheric monitoring network in the city of Seoul, Korea, has been established since the late 90s by the Korean Ministry of Environment (KMOE). In this research, it was evaluated by the multi-statistical approaches through combinations of time series analysis, correlation matrix, and multiple cluster analysis. Finally, road traffic including resuspended materials can be one of the main sources of particulate matter in the atmosphere. Based on its importance, it will be significant challenges in quantitative evaluation of its contribution to airborne concentrations. The future directions for their amendments such as a new management plan for the source of road dust (including car emissions) were devised and proposed based on the statistical judgements derived in this research.
