Abstract

Background: Many anionic phytoncides exist in the forest. Purpose: This study aimed to measure and investigate the number of negative ions in aerosol composition in Samdasu Forest, Jeju. Methods: We counted the number of negative ions in the aerosol with an anion meter at 17 points in the Samdasu forest area. Results: The average number of negative ions measured at 17 points in the aerosol of the Samdasu forest area was 719.7 ions/cm3, the temperature was 25.2℃, the humidity was 80.9%, the altitude was 503 m, and the wind speed was 0.6 m/sec. When looking at the content of anion number in the air quality in order, the highest place was waterfall-entrance-course R-course B- pine forest- course exit> exit wetland. The highest altitude of the collection point was in the order of pine forest-course R-course exit-waterfall-course B- exit wetland-entrance. The elevation difference in elevation was statistically significant. There was no correlation between altitude and anion content. It could be seen that the air quality fluctuates from time to time. Conclusions: A large amount of anionic phytoncide was contained in the air quality in Samdasu Forest in the over results. Therefore, Samdasu Forest is a helpful area as a place to visiting. The visit to the Jeju region, which has a high content of anionic phytoncide, has provided essential information that it has beneficial conditions for health management.

배경: 여러 연구에서 숲에서는 음이온이 많이 존재하는 것으로 보고되었나, 제주 삼다수 숲지역의 연구가 없어서 수행하였다. 목적: 본 연구에서는 제주 삼다수 숲 지역의 대기질의 음이온 수를 측정하여 비교 분석하는 것이 목적이었다. 방법: 삼다수 숲 지역의 17개 지점을 정해서 대기질의 음이온 수를 음이온측정기로 측정하였다. 결과: 제주 삼다수 지역의 17개 지점에서 측정한 음이온 수의 평균치는 719.7 ions/cm3, 평균 온도는 25.2℃, 평균 습도는 80.9%, 평균고도는 503 m, 그리고 평균 풍속은 0.6 m/sec이었다. 대기질의 음이온 수의 함량을 순서로 보면, 제일 높은 곳은 폭포-입구-코스R- B코스-소나무숲-코스출구-출구습지 순으로 나타났다. 채집지점의 고도는 제일 높은 지점은 소나무숲-코스R-코스출구-폭포-B코스-출구습지-입구 순이었다. 고도의 차이는 통계적으로 유의성이 있었다. 해발고도와 음이온 함량간의 상관관계는 없는 것으로 나타나 대기질은 수시로 변동됨을 알 수가 있었다. 결론: 삼다수 숲에는 다량의 음이온이 대기질 중에 함유된 것을 확인하였다. 따라서 삼다수 숲길은 숲 체험의 장소로서 적합한 지역이라 생각된다. 아울러 음이온의 함량이 높은 제주지역 숲길 탐방은 인간의 건강관리에 유익한 조건을 갖추었다고 평가한다.
