Abstract

In this study, the coastal airborne chlorides were investigated in the Incheon Port, South Korea. Monthly measurements of coastal airborne chlorides were taken for a total of 2 years from September 2021 to August 2023 at 15 locations in North, South, and New Port. We analyzed the distribution characteristics of airborne chloride based on port facilities and measurement environments, as well as the reduction characteristics of the airborne chloride with respect to coastal distance. As a result, the monthly distribution range of the airborne chloride in the North, South, and New Port varied similarly, ranging from 0.4 to 3.3 mdd. Due to the influence of seasonal winds considering the direction of the coastline, both the North Port and South Port had higher the airborne chloride in winter, while the New Port had higher content in summer. The airborne chlorides were higher at locations inside an inland sea compared to those outside an inland sea. This is because the wind coming from the sea passed through the inland sea. Even in the same region with identical coastal distances, there were variations in airborne chloride levels depending on the height above the ground. In tidal zone, the monthly airborne chlorides were significantly higher in the lower part than in the upper part. The rate of decrease equation of airborne chlorides for each port based on the distance from the coastline was derived, and the results showed that as the distance from the coastline increased, the rate of decrease in airborne chlorides was the highest for New Port and the lowest for South Port.

본 연구에서는 인천항만 시설물의 대기 중 비래염분량을 조사하였다. 2021.9 ~ 2023.8월, 총 2년 동안 북항, 남항, 신항에 총 15개의 염분포집기를 설치하여 대기 중 비래염분량을 측정하고, 항만시설물과 측정환경에 따른 비래염분량의 분포 특징과, 해안거리에 따른 비래염분량의 감소 특성을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 북항, 남항, 신항의 월별 비래염분량 분포는 0.4 ~ 3.3 mdd로 유사하게 나타났으며, 해안선의 방향을 고려한 계절풍의 영향으로 북항과 남항은 겨울에, 신항은 여름에 비래염분량이 높게 나타났다. 측정환경에 따른 비래염분량의 특징으로는 동일 지역에서 내해보다 내륙에 위치하여 바다에서 부는 바람이 내해를 통과하여 지나가는 위치에 있는 지점에서 비래염분량이 높게 나타났다. 또한 동일지역에서 해안거리가 동일한 두 지점일지라도 지면으로부터 높이에 따라서 비래염분량에 차이가 있었다. 한편 간만대의 경우, 월별 비래염분량은 상부보다는 하부에서 현저히 높게 나타났으며, 예외적으로 상부의 비래염분량이 하부만큼 높은 기간은 최고조위와 조위차가 높은 특징이 있었다. 해안으로부터 거리에 따른 항별 비래염분량의 감소율식을 도출하였으며, 그 결과, 해안으로부터 멀어질수록 비래염분량의 감소율은 신항이 가장 크고, 남항이 가장 작게 나타났다.
