Abstract

This study was carried out to investigate the chemical properties of rainwater in the Suwon and Taean areas. Rainwater was collected during the farming seasons of 2002 and 2003. The number of samples collected in Suwon and Taean were 69 and 71, respectively. These were analyzed for chemical composition. The pH of samples collected in April was higher than those collected after June. The most common range of rainwater pH was 5.0-5.6 in Suwon and 4.5-5.0 in Taean during investigation periods. The neutralization capacity of rainwater acidity by $Ca^{2+}$ and N $H_4$$^{+}$ was decreased during the rainy season. The EC of rainwater was lower during the rainy season. Cation concentrations in rainwater were N $H_4$$^{+}$ > $H^{+}$ > $Ca^{2+}$ > $Mg^{2+}$ > $K^{+}$ in Suwon and $Ca^{2+}$ > N $H_4$$^{+}$ > $H^{+}$ > $K^{+}$ > $Mg^{2+}$ in Taean. In the case of anion, the order was sol > N $O_3$$^{[-10]}$ > C $I^{[-10]}$ in Suwon and S $O_4$$^{2-}$ > C $I^{[-10]}$ > N $O_3$$^{[-10]}$ in Taean. The mean values of sulfate in rainwater were 130 $\mu$eq $L^{-1}$ in Suwon and 117 $\mu$eq $L^{-1}$ in Taean. The ratio of non-sea salt sulfate to sulfate (nss-S $O_4$$^{2-}$ > S $O_4$$^{2-}$) was 89% and 88%. This implies that the major origin of sulfate in rainwater might be anthropogenic.ht be anthropogenic..

수원과 태안 지역에서 영농기간 중 강우의 화학적 특성을 알아보기 위하여 2002년 및 2003년 2년간 각각 69점 및 71점의 빗물을 채수하여 화학적 성분조성과 강우량을 고려한 가중평균(volume-weighted mean) 이온농도 변화를 조사한 결과는 다음과 같다. 조사 기간 중 pH별 강우 분포는 수원은 pH 5.0-5.6 범위가 가장 많았으며, 태안은 pH 4.5∼5.0 범위가 많았다. 연차별로는 수원지역은 2002년도에 비해 2003년도에 pH 5.6 이상의 강우 분포가 크게 줄어든 반면, pH 4.0∼5.0 범위의 강우가 증가하는 경향을 보였고, 태안지역은 pH 5.0 이상의 강우가 증가하고 pH 4.0∼5.0 범위의 강우 분포가 줄어드는 경향을 나타내었다. 강우의 산성도 중화는 강우량이 많은 시기가 다른 기간에 비해 낮게 나타났다 빗물의 EC 농도는 강우량이 많았던 7월 이후 낮은 농도를 보이다 강우량이 적었던 10월 이후 다시 증가하는 경향을 나타내었으며, 평균 농도는 지역별로 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 빗물중 양이온은 수원지역이 N $H_4$$^{+}$ > $H^{+}$ > $Ca^{2+}$ > $Mg^{2+}$ > $K^{+}$의 순이었으며, 태안지역은 $Ca^{2+}$ > N $H_4$$^{+}$ > $H^{+}$ > $K^{+}$ $Mg^{2+}$의 순으로 나타났다. 음이온은 수원지역이 S $O_4$$^{2-}$ > N $O_3$$^{-}$ > C $l^{-}$, 태안지역은 S $O_4$$^{2-}$ > C $l^{-}$ > N $O_3$$^{-}$ 순이었다. 빗물 중에 용존하는 sulfate의 평균 함량은 수원과 태안지역이 각각 130과 117 $\mu$eq $L^{-1}$이었으며, 총 sulfate 함량 중 nss-S $I_4$$^{2-}$ 함량은 수원과 태안 지역이 각각 89% 및 88%로 나타나 대부분이 인위적인 발생원에서 기인된 것으로 판단되었다.
