The purpose of this paper is to develop a stochastic model for daily sulphur dioxide $(SO_2)$ concentrations prediction in urban area (Seoul). For this, the influence of the meteorological parameters on the $SO_2$ concentrations is investigated by a statistical analysis of the 24-hr averaged $SO_2$ levels of Seoul area during 1989 $\sim$ 1990. The annual fluctuations of the regression trend, periodicity and dependence of the daily concentration are also analyzed. Based on these, a nonlinear regression transfer function model for the prediction of daily $SO_2$ concentrations is derived. A statistical procedure for using the model to predict the concentration level is also proposed.

The Gaussian models were selected as the reference models for the study. During the study of the model verification in the Ulsan Industrial Complex, the accuracy and limitation of models were assessed. The correlation coefficients of the observed and the predicted values for CDM 2.0 and TCM2B were ranged from 0.57 to 0.73 and from 0.72 to 0.86, respectively. And there were relatively large discrepancies between the predicted and predicted and the measured concentrations for several locations. Therefore, the Gaussian models should be used with careful discretion to apply the urban area in Korea.

A one dimensiional cumulus cloud model has been developed for the investigation of temporal and altitudinal variation of trace gases and the wet deposition rates of sulfate for different simulation conditions. The results show that the dynamic field, liquid mixing ratios and the solubility of trace gases affect the distribution of trace gases and the droplet pH. Temporal variation of the predicted surface precipitation and sulfate deposition rates agree well with the field data.

We have gathered exposure data on ambient air quality level and investigated dose-response slope factors of air pollutants such as fine particle, HAPs (metals, VOCs, PAHs) and dioxins in Seoul. Theoretical mortality incidences were estimated from exposure to these pollutants. From the results, priorities were ranked in the order fine particle, metals, VOCs, dioxins and PAHs by ordinal scale, and the uncertainties relative to those risk estimates were described.

Particulate matter was collected by Andersen Air Sampler in the Seoul area during February-October, 1985, in order to investigate size distribution of sulfate and nitrate in aerosol, and conversion of sulfur dioxide to sulfate and that of nitrogen dioxide to nitrate. The size distribution of sulfate and nitrate had fine mode. The ratio of fine sulfate to total sulfate in aerosol and that of fine nitrate to total nitrate showed between 54.6% and 86%, and 55.7% and 95%, respectively, which presumably originated from gaseous reaction of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide in the atmosphere.

A CNG dedicated engine one of the types in natural gas engine is assessed as the most effective mechanism for the reduction of exhaust emissions. This work described the measuring results of a CNG dedicated engine by the experiment, In this study the characteristics of the CNG engine was investigated and then measured exhaust gas by engine performance mode at maximum load condition with increasing the engine speed in the range of 1,000-2,200rpm. The exhaust emission was also measured at D-13 mode as well as AVL-8 mode.

Visibility impairment phenomenon due to various air pollutants is a highly complex problem To understand this problem in Seoul, (1) theoretical background of visibility impairment; (2) methods to quantify visual range and to assess contribution of each air pollutant to the visibility impairment problem; and (3) previous field measurements and modeling studies, both in Korea and abroad, are critically reviewed.

Recently, many studies on air quality prediction models have been performed to develope new ones. The purpose of the study is to obtain a method to predict $SO_2$ concentration simply in urban area using hour-to-hour meteorological data such as the wind speed, the incoming solar radiation, and the cloud coverages. The relationships between with speed and $SO_2$ concentrations are plotted in flgures. Predicted concentration curves are obtained for equation C=b/(1+au).

국내 대기분야에 연구 발표된 논문중 국립환경연구소 초록집에 수록된 자료(1965 - 1984년)를 근거로 하여 국내 대기오염 연구 현황을 살펴보았다. 연구분야를 분류하였고, 연구분야별 논문분포, 년도별 $\cdot$ 분야별 논문분포 및 주요기관별 논문분포를 살펴보고 현황을 분석하였다. 분포도에 나타난 바로는 환경청이 설립된 1980년을 전후하여 연구가 급격히 증가하고 있음을 보여 주고 있다. 또한 대기오염절감 및 제거기술과 모니터링 기술에 관한 연구가 시급한 과제로 분석되어진다.
