Abstract

Changes in aerosol characteristics during 2006 ${\sim}$2008 Asian dust events in Cheoan were investigated by measuring mass, ion and elemental concentrations of fine and coarse particles. The average mass concentrations of daily TSP, PM10, PM2.5 were 214.9, 160.3, and 95.9${\mu}\;g/m^3$during Asian dust events, which were 3.08, 2.58, and 1.95 times higher than Non-asian dust events. The maximum concentrations of TSP, PM10, and PM2.5 were 850.1, 534.4, and 233.3${\mu}\;g/m^3$, which were 12.19, 8.60, and 4.76 times higher, respectively. Increases in ion concentrations were not significant during Asian dust events, but elemental concentrations including soil components such as Fe, Al, Ti increased by 17.1 and 43.4 times for fine and coarse particles, respectively. The results clearly indicate that metallic components from soil constituents were the major components in Asian dusts sampled at Cheonan.

황사기간 중 천안시 대기 입자의 특성 변화를 파악하기 위해, Cascade Impactor를 장착한 High Volume Air Sampler를 이용하여 대기 시료를 채취하여, 대기 입자의 입경별 질량농도 및 이온, 금속 성분의 농도를 황사기간과 비황사기간에 비교 측정하였다. 황사기간 중 일평균 TSP, PM10, PM2.5 평균 농도가 각각 214.9, 160.3, 95.9${\mu}\;g/m^3$으로, 비황사기간에 비해 각각 평균 3.08, 2.58, 1.95배 증가하였으며, 최대 농도는 TSP, PM10, PM2.5가 각각 850.1, 534.4, 233.3${\mu}\;g/m^3$으로, 비황사기간에 비해 각각 12.19, 8.60, 4.76배까지 증가하였다. 황사기간 중 농도의 증가는 미세입자보다는 조대입자에서 현저하였으며, 미세입자와 조대입자 모두 수용성 이온성분의 증가는 미미한 반면, 토양의 주요 구성 성분인 Fe, Al, Ti의 증가가 뚜렷이 관측되어, 토양구성 금속성분이 황사기간 중 입자 농도 증가의 주요원인 물질임을 확인할 수 있었다.
