Abstract

Daily average concentrations of fine particulates have been measured simultaneously in Seoul and Asan area by using PM minivolTM portable air sampler(Air Metrics, U.S.A) from September 2001 to August 2002. The sampler were analyzed by ICP-OES(inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry, optima 3000DV, Perkin Elmor) to determine the fine particulate concentrations of metallic elements(As, Mn. Ni, Fe, Cr, Cu, Cd, Pb, Zn, Si). The concentration of PM$\sub$2.5/ showed a high trend in the Seoul area. Zn showed a similar distribution ratio for the fine particle in both Seoul and Asan. Mn and Fe, Cr, Cd are highly correlated in the Seoul and Asan area(P<0.05).
