This study introduces a novel approach to the differentiation of two phenomena, Asian Dust and haze, which are extremely difficult to distinguish based solely on comparisons of PM10 concentration, through use of the Optical Particle Counter (OPC), which simultaneously generates PM10, PM2.5 and PM1.0 concentration. In the case of Asian Dust, PM10 concentration rose to the exclusion of PM2.5 and PM1.0 concentration. The relative ratios of PM2.5 and PM1.0 concentration versus PM10 concentration were below 40%, which is consistent with the conclusion that Asian Dust, as a prime example of the coarse-particle phenomenon, only impacts PM10 concentration, not PM2.5 and PM1.0 concentration. In contrast, PM10, PM2.5 and PM1.0 concentration simultaneously increased with haze. The relative ratios of PM2.5 and PM1.0 concentration versus PM10 concentration were generally above 70%. In this case, PM1.0 concentration varies because a haze event consists of secondary aerosol in the fine-mode, and the relative ratios of PM10 and PM2.5 concentration remain intact as these values already subsume PM1.0 concentration. The sequential shift of the peaks in PM10, PM2.5 and PM1.0 concentrations also serve to individually track the transport of coarse-mode versus fine-mode aerosols. The distinction in the relative ratios of PM2.5 and PM1.0 concentration versus PM10 concentration in an Asian Dust versus a haze event, when collected on a national or global scale using OPC monitoring networks, provides realistic information on outbreaks and transport of Asian Dust and haze.

This study analyzes the chemical composition of metallic elements and water-soluble ions in $PM_{10}$ and $PM_{2.5}$. $PM_{10}$ and $PM_{2.5}$ concentrations in Busan during 2010-2012 were $97.2{\pm}67.5$ and $67.5{\pm}32.8{\mu}g/m^3$, respectively, and the mean $PM_{2.5}/PM_{10}$ concentration ratio was 0.73. The contribution rate of water-soluble ions to $PM_{10}$ ranged from 29.0% to 58.6%(a mean of 38.6%) and that to $PM_{2.5}$ ranged from 33.9% to 58.4%(a mean of 43.1%). The contribution rate of sea salt to $PM_{10}$ was 13.9% for 2011 and 9.7% for 2012, while that to $PM_{2.5}$ was 17.4% for 2011 and 10.1% for 2012. $PM_{10}$ concentration during Asian dust events was $334.3{\mu}g/m^3$ and $113.3{\mu}g/m^3$ during non-Asian dust events, and the $PM_{10}$ concentration ratio of Asian Dust/Non Asian dust was 2.95. On the other hand, the $PM_{2.5}$ concentration in Asian dust was $157.4{\mu}g/m^3$ and $83.2{\mu}g/m^3$ in Non Asian dust, and the $PM_{2.5}$ concentration ratio of Asian Dust/Non Asian dust was 1.89, which was lower than that of $PM_{10}$.

Hourly concentrations of $PM_1$, $PM_{2.5}$ and $PM_{10}$, were investigated at Gangneung city in the Korean east coast on 0000LST October 26~1800LST October 29, 2003. Before the intrusion of Yellow dust from Gobi Desert, $PM_{10}$($PM_{2.5}$, $PM_1$) concentration was generally low, more or less than 20 (10, 5) ${\mu}g/m^3$, and higher PM concentration was found at 0900LST at the beginning time of office hour and their maximum ones at 1700LST around its ending time. As correlation coefficient of $PM_{10}$ and $PM_{2.5}$($PM_{2.5}$ and $PM_1$, and $PM_{10}$ and $PM_1$) was very high with 0.90(0.99, 0.84), and fractional ratios of $(PM_{10}-PM_{2.5})/PM_{2.5}((PM_{2.5}-PM_1)/PM_1)$ were 1.37~3.39(0.23~0.54), respectively. It implied that local $PM_{10}$ concentration could be greatly affected by particulate matters of sizes larger than $2.5{\mu}m$, and $PM_{2.5}$ concentration could be by particulate matters of sizes smaller than $2.5{\mu}m$. During the dust intrusion, maximum concentration of $PM_{10}$($PM_{2.5}$, $PM_1$) reached 154.57(93.19, 76.05) ${\mu}g/m^3$ with 3.8(3.4, 14.1) times higher concentration than before the dust intrusion. As correlation coefficient of $PM_{10}$ and $PM_{2.5}$(vice verse, $PM_{2.5}$, $PM_1$) was almost perfect high with 0.98(1.00, 0.97) and fractional ratios of $(PM_{10}-PM_{2.5})/PM_{2.5}((PM_{2.5}-PM_1)/PM_1)$ were 0.48~1.25(0.16~0.37), local $PM_{10}$ concentration could be major affected by particulates smaller than both $2.5{\mu}m$ and $1{\mu}m$ (fine particulate), opposite to ones before the dust intrusion. After the ending of dust intrusion, as its coefficient of 0.23(0.81, - 0.36) was very low, except the case of $PM_{2.5}$ and $PM_1$ and $(PM_{10}-PM_{2.5})/PM_{2.5}((PM_{2.5}-PM_1)/PM_1)$ were 1.13~1.91(0.29~1.90), concentrations of coarse particulates larger than $2.5{\mu}m$ greatly contributed to $PM_{10}$ concentration, again. For a whole period, as the correlation coefficients of $PM_{10}$, $PM_{2.5}$, $PM_1$ were very high with 0.94, 1.00 and 0.92, reliable regression equations among PM concentrations were suggested.

In order to investigate the variations and corelation among $PM_{10},\;PM_{2.5}\;and\;PM_1$ concentrations, the hourly concentrations of each particle sizes of 300nm to $20{\mu}m$ at a city, Gangneung in the eastern mountainous coast of Korean peninsula have been measured by GRIMM aerosol sampler-1107 from March 7 to 17, 2004. Before the influence of the Yellow Dust event from China toward the city, $PM_{10},\;PM_{2.5}\;and\;PM_1$, concentrations near the ground of the city were very low less than $35.97{\mu}g/m^3,\;22.33{\mu}g/m^3\;and\;16.77{\mu}g/m^3$, with little variations. Under the partial influence of the dust transport from the China on March 9, they increased to $87.08{\mu}g/m^3,\;56.55{\mu}g/m^3\;and\;51.62{\mu}g/m^3$. $PM_{10}$ concentration was 1.5 times higher than $PM_{2.5}$ and 1.85 times higher than $PM_1$. Ratio of $(PM_{10}-PM_{2.5})/PM_{2.5}$ had a maximum value of 1.49 with an averaged 0.5 and one of $(PM_{2.5}-PM_1)/PM_1$ had a maximum value of 0.4 with an averaged 0.25. $PM_{10}\;and\;PM_{2.5}$ concentrations were largely influenced by particles smaller than $2.5{\mu}m\;and\;1{\mu}m$ particle sizes, respectively. During the dust event from the afternoon of March 10 until 1200 LST, March 14, $PM_{10},\;PM_{2.5}\;and\;PM_1$ concentrations reached $343.53{\mu}g/m^3,\;105{\mu}g/m^3\;and\;60{\mu}g/m^3$, indicating the $PM_{10}$ concentration being 3.3 times higher than $PM_{2.5}$ and 5.97 times higher than $PM_1$. Ratio of $(PM_{10}-PM_{2.5})/PM_{2.5}$ had a maximum value of 7.82 with an averaged 3.5 and one of $(PM_{2.5}-PM_1)/PM_1$, had a maximum value of 2.8 with an averaged 1.5, showing $PM_{10}\;and\;PM_{2.5}$ concentrations largely influenced by particles greater than $2.5{\mu}m\;and\;1{\mu}m$ particle sizes, respectively. After the dust event, the most of PM concentrations became below $100{\mu}g/m^3$, except of 0900LST, March 15, showing the gradual decrease of their concentrations. Ratio of $(PM_{10}-PM_{2.5})/PM_{2.5}$ had a maximum value of 3.75 with an averaged 1.6 and one of $(PM_{2.5}-PM_1)/PM_1$ had a maximum value of 1.5 with an averaged 0.8, showing the $PM_{10}$ concentration largely influenced by corse particles than $2.5{\mu}m$ and the $PM_{2.5}$ by fine particles smaller than $1{\mu}m$, respectively. Before the dust event, correlation coefficients between $PM_{10},\;PM_{2.5}\;and\;PM_1$, were 0.89, 0.99 and 0.82, respectively, and during the dust event, the coefficients were 0.71, 0.94 and 0.44. After the dust event, the coefficients were 0.90, 0.99 and 0.85. For whole period, the coefficients were 0.54, 0.95 and 0.28, respectively.

This study investigates the characteristics of diurnal, seasonal, and weekly roadside and residential concentrations of PM₁₀ and PM_2.5 in Busan, as well as relationship with meteorological phenomenon. Annual mean PM₁₀ and PM_2.5 concentrations in Busan were 44.2 ㎍/㎥ and 25.3 ㎍/㎥, respectively. The PM_2.5/PM₁₀ concentration ratio was 0.58. Diurnal variations of PM₁₀ and PM_2.5 concentrations in Busan were categorized into three types, depending on the number of peaks and times at which the peaks occurred. Roadside PM₁₀ concentration was highest on Saturday and lowest on Friday. Residential PM₁₀ concentration was highest on Monday and lowest on Friday. Residential PM_2.5 concentration was highest on Monday and Tuesday and lowest on Friday. PM₁₀ and PM_2.5 concentrations were highest on Asian dust and haze, respectively. The results indicate that understanding the spaciotemporal variation of fine particles could provide insights into establishing a strategy to control urban air quality.

Objectives: The study evaluated correlations among monthly PM_2.5, PM₁₀, Cd, Pb concentrations and the number of Asian dust days. Methods: Based on data from 'The annual report on air quality in Korea from 1999 to 2017', concentrations of PM₁₀, PM_2.5, Cd, Pb, and the number of Asian dust days were recalculated to mean, standard deviation, minimum, and maximum. Correlation coefficients were calculated among PM_2.5, PM₁₀, Cd, Pb, and Asian dust days. Results: Asian dust days were correlated only with PM₁₀ among the four factors of PM₁₀, PM_2.5, Cd, and Pb. The four factors of PM₁₀, PM_2.5, Cd, and Pb were very significantly correlated with each other (p<0.01). Their correlation coefficients for PM₁₀ were 0.800 for PM_2.5, 0.823 for Cd, and 0.892 for Pb. PM_2.5 was also correlated strongly with Cd (0.845) and Pb (0.830). Cd had a correlation with Pb of 0.971. The maximums of PM_2.5, PM₁₀, and Pb were shown to exceed the atmospheric environmental standard of Korea, which necessitates national continuous exposure control. Based on exposure data, Asian dust days were thought to be an exposure factor for Cd and Pb. Conclusion: Asian dust might be a factor in Cd and Pb exposure. National exposure controls are required for exposure to PM_2.5, PM₁₀, Cd, and Pb.

대구지역의 13개 대기오염측정소 중 PM-10과 PM-2.5를 동시에 측정하는 3개 측정소 즉, 공업지역에 위치한 이현동, 주거지역에 위치한 만촌동, 도로변에 위치한 평리동 측정소를 대상으로 최근 2년간(2011~2012)의 자료를 이용하여 PM-10과 PM-2.5의 농도분포 특성을 연구하였다. PM-10 농도는 이현동($52.5{\mu}g/m^3$)과 평리동($60.9{\mu}g/m^3$) 모두 연평균 기준치인 $50{\mu}g/m^3$을 초과하였고, 만촌동($44.9{\mu}g/m^3$)은 기준치를 만족하였다. PM-2.5 농도는 세 지점 모두 미국의 EPA 연간기준치($15{\mu}g/m^3$)를 초과하였으며, 우리나라에서 2015년부터 시행되는 PM-2.5의 연평균기준치($25{\mu}g/m^3$)도 초과하는 수준이었다. 계절별 변화를 보면, PM-10은 봄철 > 겨울철 > 가을철 > 여름철 순이었고, PM-2.5는 겨울철 > 봄철 > 가을철 > 여름철 순으로 나타나는 특성을 보였다. 월변화 특성을 보면, PM-10과 PM-2.5 모두 겨울철인 2월에 가장 높고 여름철인 9월경에 가장 낮은 농도를 보였다. 일변화 특성을 보면, PM-10과 PM-2.5 모두 오전 7시부터 증가하여 10시~11시경에 최고 농도를 기록하고 오후 6시까지 하강하여 저녁과 새벽까지 일정한 농도를 나타내는 경향을 보였다. 또한, 주중의 미세먼지 농도는 주말보다 높은 농도를 보였으며, 그 변동 폭은 공업지역이 주거지역보다 크게 나타났다. PM-2.5/PM-10 비는 여름철이 높고 봄철이 가장 낮게 나타났고, 황사발생시 PM-2.5/PM-10 비는 비황사시 0.54~0.64에 비해 0.32~0.42로 매우 낮은 특성을 보였다. 본 자료는 대구지역의 미세먼지(PM-10, PM-2.5)의 현황과 특성에 대한 연구로써 향후 미세먼지의 연구 및 대기오염 관리에 유용하게 사용될 것으로 사료된다.

2015년 1월부터 2020년 6월까지 라이다를 이용하여 측정된 532와 1064 nm의 후방산란계수와 532 nm의 편광소멸도를 이용하여 532 nm의 후방산란계수를 PM₁₀, PM_2.5-10, PM_2.5에 해당하는 세 유형으로 구분하고 지상에서 측정된 질량 농도를 이용하여 각각의 질량소산효율을 산출하였다. 산출된 질량소산효율의 전체 평균값은 PM₁₀, PM_2.5-10, PM_2.5에서 각각 5.1±2.5, 1.7±3.7, 9.3±6.3 m²/g으로 PM_2.5가 가장 높은 값을 보였다. PM₁₀과 PM_2.5의 질량 농도가 낮을 때 평균 이상의 높은 질량소산효율이 산출되었으며 질량 농도가 높아질수록 질량소산효율이 감소되는 경향을 확인하였다. 황사의 혼합 정도에 따른 유형별로 질량소산효율을 산출하였을 때, PM_2.5-10는 황사의 영향으로 오염입자(pollution aerosol, PA)가 2.1±2.8 m²/g으로 오염입자가 주요한 혼합입자(pollution-dominated mixture, PDM), 황사가 주요한 혼합입자 (dust-dominated mixture, DDM), 순수황사 (pure dust, PD)의 1.1±1.8, 1.4±3.3, 1.1±1.5 m²/g보다 두 배 정도 높은 값을 보였다. 하지만, PM_2.5는 9.4±6.5, 9.0±5.8, 10.3±7.5, 9.1±9.0 m²/g으로 유형 구분 없이 비슷한 값을 보였다. PM₁₀의 질량소산효율은 PA, PDM, DDM, PD 에서 각각 5.6±2.9, 4.4±2.0, 3.6±2.9, 2.8±2.4 m²/g으로 황사의 비율이 감소할수록 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 동일한 질량 농도 또는 황사 혼합에 따른 동일한 유형을 보이더라도 PM_2.5/PM₁₀ 값이 낮아질수록 PM_2.5-10의 질량소산효율은 감소하고, PM_2.5의 질량소산효율은 증가하는 경향을 보였다.
