Abstract

Particulate matter (PM) has emitted in many regions of the world and is causing many health-related problems. Thus reasonable politics and solutions are needed to reduce PM in Seoul. Further it is required to clearly explain the major portions of chemical components contained in $PM_{10}$ to figure out the characteristics of $PM_{10}$, and to develop effective reduction measures in order to decrease the adverse effects of $PM_{10}$. $PM_{10}$ samples were collected in Seoul and analyzed their ions to examine the physical and chemical characteristics of ionic species. Since hydrogen ion ($H^+$) and carbonate ion (${CO_3}^{2-}$)) cannot be analyzed by Ion chromatography (IC), concentrations of $H^+$ and ${CO_3}^{2-}$ were initially estimated by pH and equivalent differences between anions and cations in this study. Starting from the study findings, good combination results for compositional patterns between anions and cations were obtained by applying a mathematical modelling technique that was based on the mass balance principle. The ions in $PM_{10}$ were combined with $H^+$, ${CO_3}^{2-}$, and supplement for $NO_3{^-}$, $Cl^-$ formed such compounds $NH_4Cl$, $NH_4NO_3$, $CaSO_4$, $(NH_4)_2SO_4$, $NaNO_3$, NaCl, $Na_2CO_3$, and $(NH_4)_2CO_3$ in the study area.

최근 들어 미세먼지에 의한 건강위해성에 대한 많은 문제가 지적되고 있다. 따라서 서울지역은 미세먼지를 줄이기 위한 합리적인 대책과 해결방안이 시급한 실정이다. 미세먼지의 악영향을 줄이기 위해서 우선 미세먼지의 구성성분 중 비율이 가장 많은 이온성분에 대한 명확한 해석이 선결되어야 하고, 이를 바탕으로 미세먼지의 특성을 파악하여 효과적인 저감 대책 수립 및 실천이 진행되어야 한다. 미세먼지 중 이온성분에 대한 물리화학적 특성을 해석하기 위하여 먼저 서울지역에서 미세먼지를 필터에 채취하고 이온성분 분석을 하였다. 그리고 이온크로마토그래피(IC)로 분석이 되지 않는 수소이온($H^+$)과 탄산이온${CO_3}^{2-}$)은 pH와 음이온과 양이온의 당량비 차이로 농도를 추정하였다. 질량수지를 기본원리로 하는 수학적 모델링 적용 결과 음이온과 양이온의 결합형태를 도출할 수 있었다. 미세먼지의 결합에 사용된 이온은 IC로 분석한 8개 이온과 추가로 해석한 $H^+$, ${CO_3}^{2-}$이며, 본 연구에서 나온 존재형태는 $NH_4Cl$, $NH_4NO_3$, $CaSO_4$, $(NH_4)_2SO_4$, $NaNO_3$, NaCl, $Na_2CO$, 그리고 $(NH_4)_2CO_3$ 등이 주를 이루고 있는 것으로 추정되었다.
