Abstract

This study sought to identify the characteristics of seasonal concentration differences of particulate matter influenced by land cover types associated with particulate matter emission and reductions, namely forest and urbanized regions. PM10 and PM2.5 was measured with quantitative concentration in 2016 on 23 urban air monitoring stations in Seoul, classified the stations into 3 groups based on the ratio of urbanized and forest land covers within a range of 3km around station, and analysed the differences in particulate matter concentration by season. The center values for the urbanized and forest land covers by group were 53.4% and 34.6% in Group A, 61.8% and 16.5% in Group B, and 76.3% and 6.7% in Group C. The group-specific concentration of PM10 and PM2.5 by season indicated that the concentration of Group A, with high ratio of forests, was the lowest in all seasons, and the concentration of Group C, with high ratio of urbanized regions, had the highest concentration from spring to autumn. These inter-group differences were statistically significant. The concentration of Group C was lower than Group B in the winter; however, the differences between Groups B to C in the winter were not statistically significant. Group A concentration compared to the high-concentration groups by season was lower by 8.5%, 11.2%, 8.0%, 6.8% for PM10 in the order of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and 3.5%, 10.0%, 4.1% and 3.3% for PM2.5. The inter-group concentration differences for both PM10 and PM2.5 were the highest in the summer and grew smaller in the winter, this was thought to be because the forests' ability to reduce particulate matter emissions was the most pronounced during the summer and the least pronounced during the winter. The influence of urbanized areas on particulate matter concentration was lower compared to the influence of forests. This study provided evidence that the particulate matter concentration was lower for regions with higher ratios of forests, and subsequent studies are required to identify the role of green space to manage particulate matter concentration in cities.

본 연구는 도시의 미세먼지 배출과 저감에 관련된 토지피복 유형인 산림과 시가화지역의 영향에 의한 계절별 미세먼지 농도 특성을 파악하고자 하였다. 서울시 23개 도시대기 측정소의 2016년 PM10, PM2.5 농도자료를 수집하였고, 측정소 주변 반경 3km 내 시가화지역과 산림 비율을 기준으로 3개 그룹으로 측정소를 구분하여 그룹간의 미세먼지 농도 차이를 계절별로 분석하였다. 그룹별 시가화지역과 산림의 중심값은 Group A에서 각각 53.4%, 34.6%, Group B는 61.8%, 16.5%, Group C는 76.3%, 6.7%이었다. 계절별 PM10과 PM2.5의 그룹별 농도는 산림 비율이 높은 Group A의 농도가 모든 계절에서 가장 낮았고, 시가화지역 비율이 높은 Group C의 농도는 봄부터 가을까지 가장 높았다. 이상의 그룹간 차이는 통계적으로 유의하였다. Group C 농도는 겨울철에만 Group B보다 낮아졌는데, 겨울철 Group B-C간의 차이는 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다. 계절별 고농도 그룹의 농도 대비 Group A의 농도는 PM10에서 봄, 여름, 가을, 겨울 각각 8.5%, 11.2%, 8.0%, 6.8%, PM2.5에서 3.5%, 10.0%, 4.1%, 3.3% 낮은 수치이었다. PM10과 PM2.5 모두 그룹간 농도 격차가 여름에 가장 크고, 겨울로 가면서 작아졌는데, 이는 산림의 미세먼지 저감기능이 여름에 크고, 겨울에 작기 때문인 것으로 판단되었다. 산림과 비교해 시가화지역이 미세먼지 농도에 끼치는 영향은 작았다. 본 연구를 통해 산림 비율이 높은 지역에서 미세먼지 농도가 낮은 효과가 입증되었으며, 도시의 미세먼지 관리를 위해 녹지의 기능을 규명하는 지속적인 연구가 필요하였다.
