Chemical Characteristics of Fog at a Forested Area in Jinju

This study was carried out to analyze chemical compositions of the fog water of a forest area, Jinju and to provide basic information for establishing measures on the acid fog water of forest area. The results are as follows: The pH of fog water was 4.3 in 2010, whereas the pH in 2011 was 4.0. The electrical conductivity of the fog water was $477.2{\mu}s$ in 2010, and $562.7{\mu}s$ in 2011. Among the anions, the concentration of $NO^{3-}$ was the highest, which recorded 267.1 mg/L in spring season and 279.1 mg/L in summer season, followed by $SO{_4}^{2-}$ at the concentration of 177.2 mg/L in spring season and 198.6mg/L in summer season. In autumn and winter, the concentration of $NO^{3-}$ was highest as 217.7 mg/L and 237.9 mg/L, respectively and followed by $SO{_4}^{2-}$, which concentration was 164.2 mg/L in autumn season and 190.1 mg/L in winter season (p<0.05). Among the cations, the concentration of $Ca^{2+}$ was 221.3 mg/L in spring and 233.7mg/L in summer, followed by $Na^+$ at 125.1 mg/L in spring season and 131.7 mg/L in summer In autumn and winter, the concentration of $Ca^{2+}$ was highest at 196.8 mg/L and 198.8 mg/L, followed by $Na^+$ at the concentration of 97.1 mg/L in autumn and 117.2 mg/L in winter (p<0.05). The pH of the fog rain that causes acid mist showed the correlation with $Ca^{++}$ (1% of level), $EC(r=-0.9861^{**})$, $NO^{3-}$ ($r=-0.9677^{**}$), and $SO{_4}^{2-}$ ($r=-0.9510^{**}$). The regression equation on the factors affecting the generation of acidic fog rain was estimated to be a $Y(pH)=6.4627+0.9723X_2(EC)+0.9364X_4(NO_3{^-})+0.9044X_5(SO{_4}^{2-})+0.8049X_{10}(Ca^{2+})+0.6709X_8(K^+)\;(r^2=0.8787)$.

진주시 주변 산림에서 안개의 화학적 특성

본 연구는 안개를 채취하여 화학적 조성을 분석하고 금후 산성안개의 대책에 필요한 기초자료로 활용하고자 수행하였다. 안개수의 pH는 2010년도가 4.3이었고, 2011년은 4.0으로서 강한 산성이었고, 전기전도도는 평균 477.2와 $562.7{\mu}s$이었다. 안개수의 음이온 중 봄철과 여름철 $NO_3{^-}$ 농도가 각각 267.1, 279.1 mg/L로서 가장 높았고, 다음으로 $SO{_4}^{2-}$ 농도가 각각 177.2, 198.6 mg/L이었다. 가을과 겨울철 $NO_3{^-}$ 농도가 각각 217.7, 237.9 mg/L로서 가장 높았고, 다음으로 $SO{_4}^{2-}$농도가 각각 164.2, 190.1 mg/L이었다(p<0.05). 양이온은 봄철과 여름철 $Ca^{2+}$농도가 각각 221.3, 233.7 mg/L로서 가장 높았고, $Na^+$ 농도가 각각 125.1, 131.7 mg/L이었다. 가을과 겨울철에 $Ca^{2+}$농도가 각각 196.8, 198.8 mg/L로서 가장 높았고, 다음으로 $Na^+$ 농도가 각각 97.1, 117.2 mg/L이었다(p<0.05). 산성안개를 일으키는 안개수의 pH와 $EC(r=-0.9861^{**})$, $NO_3{^-}(r=-0.9677^{**})$, $SO{_4}^{2-}$ ($r=-0.9510^{**}$), $Ca^{2+}$는 1% 수준에서 상관이 있었다. 산성안개수의 생성에 영향을 하는 인자의 회귀 방정식을 나타내면 $Y(pH)=6.4627+0.9723X_2(EC)+0.9364X_4(NO_3{^-})+0.9044X_5(SO{_4}^{2-})+0.8049X_{10}(Ca^{2+})+0.6709X_8(K^+)\;(r^2=0.8787)$로 추정되었다.
