Abstract
To investigate the pollution levels and behavior of PCDD/Fs in ambient air, gaseous and particulate phase concentrations were measured at Cheongju city in 2008. The samples were collected at 3 sites (industrial, residential/commercial and rural region) by season (winter, spring and summer). The concentrations and TEQ concentrations of PCDD/DFs ranged from 0.73 to 2.43 pg/$m^3$ and from 0.007 to 0.122 pg TEQ/$m^3$, respectively. These levels were similar or lower than that of other domestic researches (from n.d. to 2.149 pg TEQ/$m^3$). The concentration of PCDD/Fs in particulate phase (from 54% to 98% against total concentration) were higher than that of gas phase. As a results of comparison of congener patterns and statistical analysis, PCDD/Fs was mainly influenced by a combustion process in ambient air, Cheongju city.
