Abstract
Seasonal variation of $NO_2$ and $SO_2$ concentration was investigated at the underground shopping center in Chonan from October 1997 to August 1998. $NO_2$ and $SO_2$ was collected by personal air sampler at $0.4{\ell}/min$ and $0.5{\ell}/min$ respectively and analyzed using UV spectrophotometer at 550nm and 548nm individually. The results were as follows. 1. The concentration of $NO_2$ was 0.070 ppm in spring, 0.068 ppm in summer, 0.074 ppm in autumn and 0.085 ppm in winter. There was no significant difference. 2. The concentration of $SO_2$ was 0.0233 ppm in spring, 0.0216 ppm in summer, 0.0188 ppm in autumn and 0.0621 ppm in winter. There was significant difference (p<0.01). 3. The higher concentration of $NO_2$ and $SO_2$ gases were shown near the cafeteria (p<0.001, p<0.05). 4. The higher concentration of $NO_2$ was observed at indoor than the underground passage. There was significant difference between two values (p<0.01).
