A single particle analytical technique, called low-Z electron probe X-ray microanalysis (low-Z EPMA) was applied to characterize atmospheric particles collected in Busan, Korea, over a daytime period in Dec. 2001. The ability to quantitatively analyze the low-Z elements, such as C, N, and 0, in microscopic volume enables the low-Z EPMA to specify the chemical composition of individual atmospheric particle. Various types of atmospheric particles such as organics, carbon-rich, aluminosilicates, silicon oxide, calcium carbonate, iron oxide, sodium chloride, sodium nitrate, ammonium sulfate, and titanium oxide were identified. In the sample collected in Busan, sodium nitrate particles produced as a result of the reaction between sea salt and nitrogen oxides in the atmosphere were most abundantly encountered both in the coarse and fine fractions. On the contrary, original sea salt particles were rarely observed. The fact that most of the carbonaceous particles were distributed in the fine fraction implies that their origin is anthropogenic.

본 연구는 서울, 청주, 춘천 세 개 도시 대기에서의 입자상 물질에 대한 분석을 Electron Probe X-ray Microanalysis(EPMA)를 이용한 단일 입자 분석법으로 행하였다. 단일 입자 분석법은 개개 입자의 형상과 크기 그리고 화학 조성에 대한 정보를 동시에 제공하기 때문에 개개 입자의 생성, 이동, 반응 그리고 환경에의 영향에 대한 자세한 정보를 얻을 수 있다. 또한 최근에 개발된 ultrathin window를 장착한 EPMA 분석법(Low-Z EPMA)은 종래의 통상적인 EPMA 방법으로는 분석하기 어려웠던 탄소, 질소, 산소 등의 원소를 정량적으로 분석할 수 있다. 따라서 도시 대기의 중요 구성 입자상 물질인 황산염, 질산염, 암모늄염, 유기 입자 등도 포함하여 도시 대기 입자 분석에 유용하게 활용된다.

Low-Z particle electron probe X-ray microanalysis (low-Z particle EPMA) was applied to characterize aerosol particles collected at Gosan in Jeju island during an IOP (intensive observation period) for an international ACE-Asia project in April, 2001. Various types of atmospheric particles such as organics, carbon-rich, aluminosilicates, silicon oxide, sodium nitrate, sodium chloride, and ammonium sulfate were observed. The reacted sea salt particles such as sodium nitrate were the most abundantly encountered, but original sea salt particles were rarely observed. Since the Low-Z particle EPMA can provide quantitative information on the chemical composition of aerosol particles, many different particle types on the basis of their chemical compositions were observed and identified. In this study, it is demonstrated that the Low-Z particle EPMA can provide detailed information on the chemical compositions for the aerosol particles collected for six consecutive days in April, 2001, at Gosan super-site.

Atmospheric aerosol particles collected in Seoul on four single days, each in every seasons of 2001, were characterized and classified on the basis of their chemical species using low-Z particle electron probe X-ray microanalysis (low-Z particle EPMA). Low-Z particle EPMA technique can analyze both the size and the chemical species of individual aerosol particles of micrometer size and provide detailed information on the size distribution of each chemical species. The major chemical species observed in Seoul aerosol were aluminosilicate, silicon dioxide, calcium carbonate, organic, carbon-rich, marine originated, and ammonium sulfate particles, etc. The soil originated species, such as aluminosilicate, silicon dioxide, and calcium carbonate were the most popular in the coarse fraction, meanwhile, carbonaceous and ammonium sulfate were the dominant species found in the fine fraction. Marine originated species such as sodium nitrate was frequently encountered, up to 30% of the analyzed aerosol particles.

Low-Z particle Electron Probe X-ray Microanalysis was applied to characterize MSW fly- and bottom -ash particle samples originated from two municipal incinerators (denoted as A and B) in Korea. According to their chemical composition, many distinctive particle types were identified. In A fly ash, the major chemical species are carbon-rich, aluminosilicates and many particles are composed of as a mixture of $ CaCO_3$ and other chemical species such as $CaSO_4$ or $CaCl_2$. For B fly ash, Fe, iron oxide, NaCl and NaCl-containing particles are the most abundant. In bottom ash, A and B were composed of similar chemical species such as carbon-rich, Fe, iron oxide, $CaCO_3$, and aluminosilicates. It was demonstrated that the single-particle characterization using this low-Z particle EPMA technique provided detailed information on various types of chemical species in the MSW ash samples. In addition, the technique has advantage over conventional analytical techniques in the point that both crystalline and glass-like ash particles can be analyzed at the same time.

A single particle analysis, called low-Z electron probe X-ray microanalysis was applied to characterize the atmospheric aerosols collected during Asian Dust storm events in the year of 2000 and 2001. Most frequently encountered chemical species were the soil-originated species such as aluminosilicates, silicon dioxide, and calcium carbonate. Also various species such as carbon -rich, organics, sea salts, and some reacted calcium carbonate were identified. The observation of internally mixed particles oi calcium carbonate, calcium nitrate and/or calcium sulfate shows the occurrence of the heterogeneous reaction between Asian Dust particles and NO$_{x}$ and/or SO$_{x}$ species in the atmosphere.ere.

최근에 개발된 ultrathin window를 장착한 electron probe X-ray microanalysis(EPMA) 분석법(Ro et. el., 1999; Osan et. al., 1999; Szaloki et. al., 1999)은 종래의 통상적인 EPMA 방법으로는 분석하기 어려웠던 탄소, 질소, 산소 등의 원소를 정량적으로 분석할 수 있는 가능성을 제시하였다. 개개 입자의 형태와 크기 뿐 아니라 화학조성에 대한 정보를 제공하는 EPMA 분석법은 대기 중 개개 입자에 대한 생성, 이동, 반응 및 소멸에 관한 자세한 정보를 제공하기 때문에 지난 20여 년간 이 분석법을 사용하여 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔다.(중략)

Asian Pacific Regional Aerosol Characterization Experiment (ACE-Asia) Project의 1차 집중 관측기간 중에 2001년 4월 4일부터 일주일 동안 제주도 고산에서 채취한 시료에 대하여 low-Z electron probe X-ray microanalysis (low-Z EPMA)를 이용한 입자상물질의 단일 입자 분석을 수행하였다. 시료채취 장소인 제주도는 대기 중 입자상물질에 대한 대륙과 해양의 영향을 연구하는데 이상적인 장소이다 왜냐하면 제주로는 한반도, 중국대륙, 일본, 그리고 황해로 둘러 쌓여있어서 대륙간의 영향을 많이 받지만 그 자체가 청정지역이라 측정결과의 해석이 용이하기 때문이다.
