Emission inventory is the essential component for improving the performance of air quality forecasting system. This study evaluated the simulated daily mean $PM_{2.5}$ concentrations in South Korea and China for 1-year period (Sept. 2016~Aug. 2017) using air quality forecasting system which was applied by the emission inventory of E2015 (predicted CAPSS 2015 for South Korea and KORUS 2015 v1 for the other regions). To identify the impacts of emissions on the simulated $PM_{2.5}$, the emission inventory replaced by E2010 (CAPSS 2010 and MIX 2010) were also applied under the same forecasting conditions. These results showed that simulated daily mean $PM_{2.5}$ concentrations had generally suitable performance with both emission data-sets for China (IOA>0.87, R>0.87) and South Korea (IOA>0.84, R>0.76). The impacts of the changes in emission inventories on simulated daily mean $PM_{2.5}$ concentrations were quantitatively estimated. In China, normalized mean bias (NMB) showed 5.5% and 26.8% under E2010 and E2015, respectively. The tendency of overestimated concentrations was larger in North Central and Southeast China than other regions under both E2010 and E2015. Seasonal differences of NMB were higher in non-winter season (28.3% (E2010)~39.3% (E2015)) than winter season (-0.5% (E2010)~8.0% (E2015)). In South Korea, NMB showed -5.4% and 2.8% for all days, but -15.2% and -11.2% for days below $40{\mu}g/m^3$ to minimize the impacts of long-range transport under E2010 and E2015, respectively. For all days, simulated $PM_{2.5}$ concentrations were overestimated in Seoul, Incheon, Southern part of Gyeonggi and Daejeon, and underestimated in other regions such as Jeonbuk, Ulsan, Busan and Gyeongnam, regardless of what emission inventories were applied. Our results suggest that the updated emission inventory, which reflects current status of emission amounts and spatio-temporal allocations, is needed for improving the performance of air quality forecasting.

BACKGROUND: Ammonia is known as a precursor to fine particulate matter, and according to CAPSS, annual ammonia emissions in the agricultural sector were 249,777 tons as of 2018, accounting for about 79.0% of Korea's total ammonia emissions. In particular, ammonia emissions from agricultural land increased by 19,566 tons (10.2%) compared to the previous year. The Ministry of Environment is setting emission statistics using the ammonia emission coefficient developed in Korea in 2008, but researchers in the agricultural field regard it as a coefficient that does not reflect the reality of Korea's agricultural environment. Accordingly, in order to develop ammonia emission coefficients from the cultivation of apples and pears, Korea's representative fruit type, test agricultural land was set in Iksan, Jeollabuk-do. METHODS AND RESULTS: This study attempted to obtain the ammonia emission coefficient by the treatment of the composite fertilizer (N-P₂O₅-K₂O=12-7-9), and the flux was measured using a dynamic flow-through chamber method. As for the chamber, a total of 12 chambers were installed repeatedly in 4 zones and used to develop emission coefficients. Using compound fertilizers during fruit tree cultivation, the ammonia emission coefficient was evaluated as 10.4 kg NH3/ton for pears and 15.3 kg NH₃/ton for apples. The reason why the ammonia emission coefficient according to the use of composite fertilizers was calculated higher for apple cultivation is believed to be due to the relatively high pH concentration of apple orchard soil. CONCLUSION(S): This study may provide basic data for upgrading the ammonia emission coefficient when using composite fertilizers in agricultural land. In the future, it might be necessary to upgrade the calculation of emissions through the development of ammonia and fine particulate matter emission coefficients considering the agricultural environment of Korea.

이 연구의 목적은 한반도에서 $CH_4$ 농도의 수치모의 검증을 통하여 $CH_4$ 배출원의 기여 농도를 추정하는 것이고, 이 수치모의에 사용된 $CH_4$ 배출량을 상자모델로부터 추정된 $CH_4$ 배출량과 비교하는 것이다. 한반도에서 2010년 4월 1일부터 8월 22일까지 $CH_4$의 평균 농도를 추정하기 위해 WRF-CMAQ 모델이 사용되었다. 모델에서 $CH_4$ 배출량은 전지구 배출량인 EDGAR와 한국에서의 온실기체 배출량인 GHG-CAPSS로부터 인위적 배출 인벤토리와 전지구 자연적 인벤토리인 MEGAN이 적용되었다. 이들 $CH_4$ 배출량은 안면도 및 울릉도에서 측정된 $CH_4$ 농도와 모델링 농도 자료를 비교함으로써 검증되었다. 울릉도에서 국내 배출원으로부터 추정된 $CH_4$의 기여 농도는 약 20%로 나타났고, 이것은 한반도 내 농장(8%), 에너지 기여 및 산업공정(6%), 일반폐기물(5%), 생체 및 토지이용(1%) 등 $CH_4$ 배출원으로부터 기원하였다. 그리고 중국으로부터 수송된 $CH_4$의 기여 농도는 약 9%였고, 나머지 배경농도는 약 70%로 나타났다. 박스모델로 추정된 $CH_4$ 배출량은 WRF-CMAQ 모델에서 사용한 $CH_4$ 배출량과 유의미한 결과를 얻었다.

This study were to simulate major criteria air pollutants and estimate regional source-receptor relationship using air quality prediction model (TAPM ; The Air Pollution Model) in the Seoul Metropolitan area. Source-receptor relationship was estimated by contribution of each region to other regions and region itself through dividing the Seoul metropolitan area into five regions. According to administrative boundary, region I and region II were Seoul and Incheon in order. Gyeonggi was divided into three regions by directions like southern(region III), northern(IV) and eastern(V) area. Gridded emissions ($1km{\times}1km$) by Clean Air Pollicy Support System (CAPSS) of National Institute of Environmental Research (NIER) was prepared for TAPM simulation. The operational weather prediction system, Regional Data Assimilation and Prediction System (RDAPS) operated by the Korean Meteorology Administration (KMA) was used for the regional weather forecasting with 30km grid resolution. Modeling period was 5 continuous days for each season with non-precipitation. The results showed that region I was the most air-polluted area and it was 3~4 times more polluted region than other regions for $NO_2$, $SO_2$ and PM10. Contributions of $SO_2$ $NO_2$ and PM10 to region I, II and III were more than 50 percent for their own sources. However region IV and V were mostly affected by sources of region I, II and III. When emissions of all regions were assumed to reduce 10 and 20 percent separately, air pollution of each region was reduced linearly and the contributions of reduction scenario were similar to those of base case. As input emissions were reduced according to different ratio - region I 40 percent, region II and III 20 percent, region IV and V 10 percent, air pollutions of region I and III were decreased remarkably. The contributions to region I, II, III were also reduced for their own sources. However, region I, II and III affected more regions IV and V. Shortly, graded reduction of emission could be more effective to control air pollution in emission imbalanced area.

본 연구에서는 국지예보시스템(LDAPS)과 전산유체역학(CFD) 모델을 접합하여, 부산 중구 광복동에 소재한 건물 밀집 지역의 상세 흐름과 PM2.5 농도 분포를 조사하였다. 도로 배출이 건물 밀집 지역의 PM2.5 농도에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위해, PM2.5의 연간 시·군·구별, 배출 원소 별, 연료 별 도로이동오염원·비산먼지 배출량 자료와 월별·일별·시간 별 배출 계수를 이용하여 부산의 단위 면적당 시간별 PM2.5 배출량을 산정하였다. 본 연구에서는 건물 옥상과 도로변에서 수행된 특별 측정 자료를 이용하여 수치 모의 결과를 검증하고, 도로배출 유·무에 따른 PM2.5 농도 분포 특성을 분석하였다. 대상 기간(2020년 06월 22일) 동안 대상 지역에서는 바람이 약하게 나타났다. 새벽 시간에는 북동풍과 북서풍이 불고 주간에는 주로 남동풍이 불었다. 도로 배출을 고려하지 않은 경우에 LDAPS-CFD 접합 모델은 측정 지점(PKNU-AQ Sensor)의 PM2.5 농도를 과소모의 하였으나, 도로 배출을 고려하여 수치 모의한 PM2.5 농도는 도로 배출의 영향으로 PM2.5 농도가 증가하여 측정 결과와 유사하게 나타났다. 2020년 6월 22일 07시와 19시의 유입 풍향은 각각 북동풍과 남동풍이지만, 주변 지형과 건물에 의해 흐름이 변화되어, 두 시각 모두 측정 지점 주변에서는 주로 남풍 계열의 흐름이 나타났다. 07시와 19시의 유사한 흐름에 의해, 두 시각의 PM2.5 농도 분포도 매우 유사하게 나타났다. 건물 옥상 측정 지점에서 수치 모의된 PM2.5 농도는 도로 배출 영향을 크게 받지 않았으나, 도로변 에서는 도로 배출 영향을 상대적으로 크게 받았다. 도로 배출을 고려한 경우, 풍속이 약한 북쪽 도로와 긴 도로 협곡에 위치한 서쪽 도로에서 PM2.5 농도가 높고, 상대적으로 건물의 밀집도가 낮은 동쪽 도로에서는 PM2.5 농도가 낮게 나타났다. LDAPS-CFD 접합모델은 모든 도로에서 배출량이 동일하게 적용되기 때문에, 좁은 골목과 건물 밀도가 낮은 지역의 지형 특성이 반영되어 도로 별 PM2.5 농도 특성이 다양하게 나타났다.
