The concentrations of gaseous (NO$_{x}$, SO$_2$, and $O_3$) and particulate (Elemental Carbon, EC and Organic Carbon, OC) pollutants were measured to evaluate the air quality of Kosan. Samples were taken at Kosan during ACE-Asia (Asian Pacific Regional Aerosol Characterization Experiment) IOP (Intensive Observation Period) (2001. 3. 21~2001. 5. 5). The mean concentrations of $O_3$(46.3$\pm$10.4 ppb) is higher than those at urban area such as Seoul and Busan in Korea. On the other hand, the mean concentrations of other gaseous species, NO$_{x}$(4.73$\pm$3.42 ppb) and SO$_2$(0.62$\pm$0.63 ppb) are lower than those at great cities. So we concluded that there are a few primary sources emitting atmospheric pollutants. The concentration of EC is higher and the concentration of OC is similar with or higher than those at other background sites. The recent EC concentration is higher than those measured before at Kosan. We concluded that there are more primary sources than other background sites and the amount of primary source have increased recently in Jeju. Backward trajectory and co..elation analysis were used to study where the air masses originated and distinguish the source of pollutants. While NO$_{x}$ and $O_3$ were mainly emitted and formed from Jeju inland area, concentrations of SO$_2$, OC and EC were affected by Asian Dust from China. Using the mean relative standard deviation of ozone, cleanness coefficient was obtained. The cleanness coefficient value, is 1.6 times larger than the value in 1992. Recently, the air quality of Kosan has been contaminated because of the Asian Dust events since spring and the rapid industrialization development.pment.

연소시설, 소각시설 등에서 배출되는 아황산가스, 질소산화물, 염화수소, 불화수소 등의 산성가스를 경제적, 효율적으로 처리하는데 많은 관심의 대상이 되고 있는 건식 세정에는 석회석(CaCO$_3$, limestone), 생석회(CaO, lime), 소석회(Ca(OH)$_2$, hydrated lime) 등 calcium을 다량 함유하는 흡수제가 매우 효과적이라고 알려져 있다. 따라서 이러한 흡수제와 SO$_2$dml 화학반응에 관하여 많은 연구가 수행되어 왔으나, 대부분의 연구는 SO$_2$와 석회석이 고온에서 진행되는 화학반응에서 관한 것이다.(중략)

This study examines the local oxidation chemistry of reduced sulfur compounds (RSC) in the urban air. The chemical conversion of RSC (such as DMS, $CS_2,\;H_2S,\;DMDS,\;and\;CH_3SH)\;to\;SO_2$ was modeled using a photochemical box model. For our model prediction of the RSC oxidation, measurements were carried out from an urban monitoring station in Seoul (37.6$^{\circ}$N, 127.0$^{\circ}$E), Korea for three separate time periods (Sep. 17~18; Oct 23; and Oct. 27~28, 2003). The results of our measurements indicated that DMS and $H_2S$ were the dominant RSC with their concentrations of 370${\pm}$140 and 110${\pm}$60 pptv, respectively. The conversion of DMDS to $SO_2$ can occur efficiently in comparison to other RSC, but it is not abundant enough to affect their cycles. The overall results of our study indicate that the photochemical conversion of the RSC can contribute ≶ 20% of the observed $SO_2$.

The material exposure tests have been carried out since 1993 to evaluate the relationship between air pollution and material corrosion with the cooperation of the researchers in Japan, China, and Korea. The test pieces such as bronze, copper, marble, and carbon steel have been exposed under both unsheltered and rain-sheltered outdoor condition separately at 18 sampling sites in East Asia. At the same time, the concentration of SO$_2$ and NO$_2$ has been measured simultaneously with passive sampler. The meteorological data were collected from the AWS (Auto-mated weather station) In each country and chemical compositions of wet deposition were also analyzed by the bulk sampling of rainfall every month. As the results, it was found that the corrosion rates of test pieces in the ambient air were appeared to be in the order of carbon steel > marble > bronze copper. The corrosion rates of test pieces in the unsheltered outdoor condition were 2.34 to 5.88 times larger than those in rain-sheltered condition. It was also found that the corrosion rate in the heavy polluted area in China was the highest, and the corrosion rates of the metal pieces were generally proportional to SO$_2$ concentration. Between two sites in Korea, the test pieces at Daegu site showed higher corrosion rates that would be due to the higher SO$_2$ concentration.

This study has been carried out to determine the seasonal characteristics of concentration of various ionic (CI-, NO3-, SO42-, Na+, NH+, K+, Ca2+) and heavy metallic (Pb, Mn, Cu, Ni) species in Pusan from August 1997 to April 1998. The concentrations of CI-, Na+, K+ were higher during summer with 2.98 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$/㎥. Seasonal variation of total concentration of but the concentration of NH4+ was higher during winter with 2.46${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$/㎥. Seasonal variation of total concentration of heavy metals(Pb, Cu, Mn, Ni) were 186.0 ng/㎥ in summer, 222.6 ng/㎥ in autumn, and 135.83 ng/㎥ in winter. Over the seasons inspected, the concentration of Mn was higher in coarse particles than fine particles and concentration of Ni was higher in fine particles than coarse particles. during yellow sand period, the concentration of TSP was increased about two times than that of other period. SO42-, Ca2+ concentrations were higher than other ionic components because of soil particles. The concentration of Ni showed 94.62ng/㎥ was increased about 4~5 times than other period. Principal component of the yellow sand, SO42-, Ca2+ could be discreased by rainfall and washout effect of atmospheric aerosol was higher in coarse particles than fine particles. Results from PCA(principal component analysis) showed that major pollutant was NaCl by seasalt particulate and (NH4)2SO4.

대기 중에서 여러 과정을 통해 아황산가스 (SO$_2$)가 황산 (H$_2$SO$_4$)으로 산화된다. 황산은 증기압이 낮아 대기 중에서는 대부분 황산염 (SO$_4$$^{2-}$ ) 에어로졸로 존재한다. 황산염 에어로졸은 직간접적으로 지구복사평형에 관여하여 기후와 기상에 영향을 미친다. 이 연구의 목적은 수도권에서의 아황산가스가 황산염으로 전환되는 각각의 경로의 상대적 기여도를 예측해보고자 하였으며 아황산가스에 의해 황산염이 얼마나 형성되는지를 알아보고자 하였다. (중략)

The temporal and spatial distribution of atmospheric transmissivity and depletion rate of solar radiation are investigated, and are compared to the concentration of several components of air pollution. The length of the data span is 11 years from 1983 to 1993. The data of radiation and sunshine rate recorded at 20 meteorological standard stations were used, and in order to investigate a relationship between the depletion rate of solar radiation and air pollution, the concentration data of air pollution observed in Seoul, Pusan, Taegu, Taejon and Kwangju were compiled from 1991 to 1993. Regression coefficient a and b vary from 0.100 to 0.209, from 0.464 to 0.691, and their means are 0.163 and 0.533, respectively. Climatological atmospheric transmissivity is ranged from 0.68 to 0.83, and its mean is 0.75. Atmospheric transmissivity is relatively low in Pusan, Taejon, Kwangju and Inchon which have large population and are highly industrialized. However, that in Chinju, Mokpo, Cheju and Sosan appears to be large compared to the aforementioned stations. Insolation rate of clear days varies from 0.71 to 0.58, and its mean is 0.63. Insolation rate of Kangnung and Chinju are higher than those of Seoul and Pusan by 5%. From the correlation coefficients between depletion rate of solar radiation and air pollution concentration, the most significant factors related to the depletion rate of solar radiation is appeared to be TSP followed by $SO_2$. Ozone shows a negative correlation, End $NO_2$ does not show a obvious correlation with the depletion rate of solar radiation.
