최근 대기 중 미세먼지의 농도가 높은 일수가 급증하면서, 미세먼지를 저감하고자 하는 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 미세먼지는 주로 자동차 혹은 공장 등 인간 활동에 의한 오염물질 배출에 의해 발생하는 것으로 알려져 있으며, 태양복사에너지, 토양수분, 강우, 풍속 등의 수문기상학적 인자에 의해 발생, 이동, 소멸의 과정을 거친다. 현재 우리나라에서는 미세먼지 농도를 관측하기 위해 지점 기반의 관측소를 운영하고 있으며, 관측소가 위치하지 않은 지역의 미세먼지 농도는 선형 보간법 등을 활용한 내삽 기법을 통해 제공하고 있다. 그러나 미세먼지 농도는 다양한 수문기상인자들의 영향에 의한 차이가 크게 나타나기 때문에 지점 기반의 자료로는 해당 지역의 미세먼지 농도를 추정하는 데 어려움이 많다. 본 연구에서는 미세먼지의 공간적인 분포를 추정하고자 MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) 에어로졸 자료와 Global Land Data Assimilation System (GLDAS) 수문기상인자를 활용하여 미세먼지 농도에 영향을 주는 것으로 판단되는 다양한 수문기상인자들과의 상관성을 분석하였다. 미세먼지와 각 인자간의 상관성을 분석하여 높은 상관성을 갖는 수문기상인자들을 도출하고 최적의 선형회귀분석 모델을 구축하기 위해 베이지안 모델 평균(Bayesian Model Averaging, BMA)을 사용하였으며, 지점 데이터와의 비교를 통해 활용성을 검증하였다. 전체적으로 수문기상인자를 사용한 선형회귀분석 결과에서는 미세먼지농도 변화의 경향을 반영하고 있는 것을 확인할 수 있었으나, 계절별, 지역별 등 대기 특성을 고려하지 않아 각 기간의 급격한 농도 변화를 감지하기에 어려움이 있었다. 이러한 연구를 바탕으로 수문기상인자와 미세먼지 농도의 패턴이 더욱 정확히 분석된다면, 미세먼지 농도 모니터링과 정확한 예보 시스템의 구축에 효과적으로 활용 될 것으로 기대된다.

The gradual desertification in Northeastern China brought about by the industrial development and global warming, has affected the Korean peninsula as evident by the ultrafine dust geographically and seasonally. People with severe respiratory problems, senior citizens and the infants are susceptible to the ill effects of fine dust which could prove fatal to them. Hence, we need to study the root cause of fine dust emergence and the correlation verification between fine dust and its side effects. This study firstly analyzed clean and contaminated areas classified by industrial elements. We utilized air, weather and industrial data in the area. Next, we detected a change of fine dust in terms of weather and climate. We analyzed correlation of air and weather by influence from domestic and neighboring country. The result indicated that China is the culprit of the emergence of fine dust predicament. Consequently, we can prove that fine dust ($PM_{10}$) and ultrafine dust ($PM_{2.5}$) could arise from geographical, seasonal, and pollutant elements. Therefore, we propose the optimum to make countermeasures about fine dust in terms of industry, topography, population and living residence.

Particulate matter(PM) is one of the leading causes of lung cancer. Recognizing its considerable risk to human health, people change their behaviors when a concentration level of PM is high. The impact of particulate matter on urban activities may vary depending on the lasting days of PM and PM matter alerts. In addition, the level of averting behavior may vary depending on the types and physical characteristics of urban activities and the degree of vulnerability to PM among people. Although the way people respond to PM may vary depending on these various factors, previous research evidence on this is very insufficient. Therefore, this study multilaterally analyzed the impact of PM on the urban activities in Jongno-gu, one of the CBD areas of Seoul. For this, we linked SKT's mobile phone signal data to land use data to extract the daily number of active people by urban activity types and ages. According to multiple regression analysis, the averting behavior varies depending on the type of urban activity, the physical characteristics of the place of activity(inside and outdoor), the lasting days of PM, PM alerts and the age of people. The results of this study can be used as basic data to policy makers who establish policies for adapting to air pollution policies by providing various effects of PM on the urban activities.

기후변화의 영향 중 하나인 무강우일수의 증가는 우리의 삶에 다양한 피해를 야기하고 있다. 영산강·섬진강권역은 2001년 이후 가장 심한 가뭄을 겪고 있으며, 이로 인해 하천의 건천화, 수질악화, 농업피해 등이 발생하고 있다. 무강우일수의 증가로 인한 피해는 농업지역에만 국한되지 않는다. 도시지역에 무강우가 지속될 경우 공기 중의 미세먼지가 효과적으로 제거되지 못하는 문제가 발생한다. 미세먼지로 인한 환경문제는 특정 배출지역에 국한되지 않고 기상조건에 따라 오염물질이 이동할 수 있으므로 타지역 및 타국가와의 갈등을 유발할 수 있다. 따라서, 정확한 분석을통해 원인을 규명하고 해결방안을 강구하는 것은 중요한 일이다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 먼저 한국환경공단에서 운영 중인 523개의 도시대기 측정소에서 관측된 PM₁₀ 시단위 자료를 이용하여 미세먼지의 추세를 분석하였다. 다음으로 미세먼지의 이동과 소멸과 연관성이 있을 것으로 판단되는 강우량, 습도, 풍속 등의 기상요소 및 무강우일수와 미세먼지 농도의 관련성을 분석하였다. 무강우일수는 전국에 분포된 103개 지상관측소의 시단위 강우자료를 통해 계산하였으며, 무강우일수와 미세먼지 농도의 관계는 각각의 무강우일수에 대응되는 미세먼지의 농도분포를 통해 년단위 및 월단위로 지역별로 분석하였다.

The PM10 (Promethium 10) data is one of the important environmental data for measurement of the atmospheric condition of the country. In this article, the Autoregressive Error (ARE) model has been considered for analyzing the monthly PM10 data at the southern part of the Gyeonggi-Do, Suwon monitoring site in Korea. In the ARE model, six meteorological variables and four pollution variables are used as the explanatory variables for the PM10 data set. The six meteorological variables are daily maximum temperature, wind speed, relative humidity, rainfall, radiation, and amount of cloud. The four air pollution explanatory variables are sulfur dioxide ($SO_2$), nitrogen dioxide ($NO_2$), carbon monoxide (CO), and ozone ($O_3$). The result showed that the monthly ARE models explained about 13-49% for describing the PM10 concentration.

Since the fine particulate matters occurred from mainly combustion in industry and road transport effect to human respiratory health, the interest and importance are getting increased. In 2013, the World Health Organization (WHO) concluded that outdoor air pollution is carcinogenic to humans, with the particulate matter component ($PM_{10}$ and $PM_{2.5}$) of air pollution most closely associated with increased cancer incidence, especially cancer of the lung. Therefore, many researches have been studied in the quantification and data development of fine particulate matters. Currently, the Ministry of Environment and cities/regions are developing the fine particulate matter data and air emission information. Particularly just $PM_{10}$ and $PM_{2.5}$ data is used in the fine particulate matters warning and alert. The data of NOx, SOx, $NH_3$, which have the particulate matter formation potential are not well considered. Also, the researches related with particulate matter formation potential and respiratory effects by industrial sectors and cities/regions are not conducted well. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate and calculate particulate matter formation potential and respiratory effects in 11 industrial sectors and cities using NOx, SOx, $PM_{10}$, $NH_3$ data (developed by Ministry of Environment and National Institute of Environmental Research) in 2001 and 2013. The results of this study will be provided the particulate matter formation potential and respiratory effects and will be used for future the fine particulate matter researches.

Conventional visualization of PM (Particulate Matter)10 flows applies superimposition of concentration distribution maps and wind field maps. This method is efficient for small scale maps where only macro flow trends are of interest. However, in the case of urban areas, local flows are difficult to model at micro level using wind fields, and therefore different methods of flow extraction is deemed necessary. In this study, flow information is extracted and visualized directly from the PM10 density data by using the gravity model. This method has the advantage that additional information such as wind field is not necessary for estimating the intensity and direction of PM10 flow. The extracted spatio-temporal flow patterns of PM10 are analyzed with relation to traffic information.

Various aspects of air quality problems caused by aerosols in Seoul are discussed. Based on the measurement data, it was found that the general air quality in Seoul has improved during last twenty years. However, PM10 concentration in Seoul is still higher than other cities in Korea and worldwide. At Seoul, it was suggested that secondary aerosols are as important as aerosols directly emitted in Seoul or transported from outside.

Uncertainty of renewable energy such as photovoltaic(PV) power is detrimental to the flexibility of the power system. Therefore, precise prediction of PV power generation is important to make the power system stable. The purpose of this study is to forecast PV power generation using meteorological data including particulate matter(PM). In this study, PV power generation is predicted by support vector machine using RBF kernel function based on machine learning. Comparing the forecasting performances by including or excluding PM variable in predictor variables, we find that the forecasting model considering PM is better. Forecasting models considering PM variable show error reduction of 1.43%, 3.60%, and 3.88% in forecasting power generation between 6am~8pm, between 12pm~2pm, and at 1pm, respectively. Especially, the accuracy of the forecasting model including PM variable is increased in daytime when PV power generation is high.
