The adequacy of urban air quality monitoring networks in the largest metropolitan city, Seoul was evaluated using multivariate analysis for $SO_2$, $NO_2$, CO, PM10, and $O_3$. Through cluster analysis for 5 air pollutants concentrations, existing monitoring stations are seen to be clustered mostly by geographical locations of the eight zones in Seoul. And the stations included in the same cluster are redundantly monitoring air pollutants exhibiting similar atmospheric behavior, thus it can be seen that they are being operated inefficiently. Because monitoring stations groups representing redudancy were different depending on measurement items and several pollutants are being measured at the same time in each air monitoring station, it is seemed to be not easy to integrate or transmigrate stations. But it may be proposed as follows : the redundant stations can be integrated or transmigrated based on ozone of which measures are increasing in recent years and alternatively the remaining pollutants other than the pollutant exhibiting similar atmospheric behavior with nearby station's can be measured. So it is considered to be able to operate air quality monitoring networks effectively and economically in order to improve air quality.

미세먼지는 대기오염 중 심각한 질병을 야기할 수 있는 대기오염 원인물질이다. 이에 대부분의 연구는 위성영상을 활용하거나 모델링 기법을 이용하여 지역적 미세먼지 분포경향을 분석하였다. 하지만 측정소값을 기준으로 공간보간기법을 적용하여 분석하는 방법은 국내에서 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 서울시 39개의 미세먼지 측정망을 기준으로 2018년도 서울시의 1월, 2월, 3월, 4월 $PM_{10}$과 $PM_{2.5}$의 월별 공간적인 분포 변이를 분석하였다. 또한 본 연구를 통해 얻어진 분포도를 기반으로 $PM_{10}$과 $PM_{2.5}$의 차이값을 보여주는 분포도를 제작하였으며, $PM_{10}$의 배출량이 많은 지역과 $PM_{2.5}$의 배출량이 많은 지역을 선정하였다. 또한 $PM_{10}$과 $PM_{2.5}$의 분포를 비율로 계산하여 분포지도를 제작함으로 각 지역별 $PM_{10}$과 $PM_{2.5}$의 상호관계를 확인하였다. 본 연구는 공간분석 기법을 통하여 서울시 $PM_{10}$과 $PM_{2.5}$를 분석하는 공간적 분포변이 결과를 해석하였다. 본 연구의 결과 $PM_{10}$은 도로변 측정소에 높은 측정값을 나타내는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Although interest in air quality has increased due to the frequent occurrence of high-concentration fine particulate matter recently, the official fine particulate matter measuring network has failed to provide spatial detailed air quality information. This is because current measurement equipment has a high cost of installation and maintenance, which limits the composition of the measuring network at high resolution. To compensate for the limitations of the current official measuring network, this study constructed a spatial high density measuring network using the fine particulate matter simple measuring device developed by Observer, W-Station. W-Station installed 48 units on Jeju Island and measured PM_2.5 for six months. The data collected in W-Station were corrected by applying the first regression equation for each section, and these measurements were compared and analyzed based on the official measurements installed in Jeju Island. As a result, the time series of PM_2.5 concentrations measured in W-Station showed concentration characteristics similar to those of the environmental pollution measuring network. In particular, the results of comparing the measurements of W-Station within a 2 km radius of the reference station and the reference station showed that the coefficient of determination (R²) was 0.79, 0.81, 0.67, respectively. In addition, for W-Station within a 1 km radius, the coefficient of determination was 0.85, 0.82, 0.68, respectively, showing slightly higher correlation. In addition, the local concentration deviation of some regions could be confirmed through 48 high density measuring networks. These results show that if a network of measurements is constructed with adequate spatial distribution using a number of simple meters with a certain degree of proven performance, the measurements are effective in monitoring local air quality and can be fully utilized to supplement or replace formal measurements.

Along the 4 major rivers in korea, there are automatic water quality monitoring (AWQM) stations to immediately respond to any pollution incident. Real-time data (temperature, DO, pH, EC and TOC) collected at each station were statistically treated to exclude outliers and keep valid data using Dixon's test and Discordance test. These applied methods were compared in terms of the number of the outliers sorted out. There was no significant difference between these methods. On the other hand, more outliers were sorted out from EC and TOC data, comparing with other water quality items. EC data did not show partly any variation for a long time at H station. If measured signal does not exceed ${\pm}0.001mS/cm$ from the sectional mean, the signal should be treated as normal data. Therefore, another routine was added to the data screening system, some data which were removed as outlier were restored.
