Abstract

The environmental behavior of $SO_2$ was investigated in terms of the factors affecting the temporal variabilities by analyzing the data sets obtained from the Yongsan district in Seoul from 2004 till 2013. To this end, the relationship between $SO_2$ and relevant parameters including particulate matters (such as $PM_{2.5}$, $PM_{10}$, and TSP (total suspended particulates)) and gaseous components ($CH_4$, CO, THC (total hydrocarbon), NMHC (non-methane hydrocarbon), NO, $NO_2$, NOx, and $O_3$) was investigated in several aspects. Over a decade, the annual mean concentrations of $SO_2$ varied in the range of $4.36-5.86nmole\;mole^{-1}$ (min-max) which was about five times lower than the regulation guideline set for the air quality management in Korea. In fact, this pattern greatly contrasts with some other air pollutants of which concentrations exceeded their guideline values significantly. According to our analysis, $SO_2$ was strongly correlated to the temperature and other relevant parameters. The overall results of this study confirm that the administrative regulation of $SO_2$ levels has been made effectively relative to other airborne pollutants.

서울특별시 용산구의 측정망에서 2004년부터 2013년간 관측한 대기질 자료를 중심으로 $SO_2$의 환경거동을 시간적 기준으로 다양한 관점에서 분석하였다. 이와 동시에 관측한 기타 대기오염물질들($PM_{2.5}$, $PM_{10}$, TSP, $CH_4$, CO, NO, $NO_2$, NOx, $O_3$, THC, NMHC)의 농도자료와 기상자료들과의 관계를 해석하는 방식으로 $SO_2$의 거동을 조사하였다. 10년간 측정한 용산구 지역에서 측정한 $SO_2$의 연간 평균농도는 대기환경기준치인 $20nmole\;mole^{-1}$보다 5배 정도 낮은 4.36-5.86(최저-최고) $nmole\;mole^{-1}$ 수준으로 나타났다. 이는 연간 평균농도가 관리기준치를 초과하는 성분들과 뚜렷하게 대조적인 양상을 보였다. 여러 가지 통계적 기법을 적용하여 $SO_2$의 배출량에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 파악하였다. 그리고 용산구에서 측정한 $SO_2$와 기타대기오염물질, 기상자료들의 경향성을 비교해보았다. $SO_2$은 온도 및 기타물질들에 대한 상관성이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 본 연구의 결과에 의하면, $SO_2$은 다른 대기오염물질들에 비해 상대적으로 관리가 잘 이루어지고 있다는 것을 확인할 수 있다.
