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 $Y(pH)=6.4627+0.9723X_2(EC)+0.9364X_4(NO_3{^-})+0.9044X_5(SO{_4}^{2-})+0.8049X_{10}(Ca^{2+})+0.6709X_8(K^+)\;(r^2=0.8787)$.

To examine the effect of acid fog on the corrosion fatigue behavior in structural steel, fatigue tests under acid fog atmosphere were carried out in comparison with distilled water. The corrosive c omponents contained in acid fog pile up the corrosion products on crack face and show a crack branching and crack tip blunting. Therefore, due to these workings crack growth rate was reduced by decreasing the effective stress range in crack tip rather than under distilled water. Also the effect of sulfuric acid, which is the main component of acid fog, and testing speed on fatigue crack growth were examined. It was found that corrosion behavior was remarkably dependent upon pH and Hz rather than components of acid fog. According as pH and testing speed decrease below a specific value, crack growth was accelerated in comparison with distilled water. This reveals that due to liquid having strong acidity and slow speed of test the crack face dissolution was promoted, so crack closure was disturbed in the process of stress descent.

대기 중 인위적 자연적 발생원에 기인하는 SO$_2$, NOx 및 HCs는 균일반응(homogeneous reaction)과 불균일반응(heterogenous reaction)을 통해서 산화되어 산성가스와 에어로졸을 형성한다. 대부분의 산성물질은 대기 중 구름, 안개, 에어로졸 액적중에서 균일반응을 통해 생성되며, 입자표면에서 가스상 물질의 불균일반응은 에어로졸농도가 높은 배출원 근처에서 국한된다. 이와 같은 반응을 통해 생성된 산성오염물질 및 전구물질은 건성 및 습성침적(dry and wet deposition)을 통해 지표면에 침강되어 생태계에 직ㆍ간접적인 영향을 줄 뿐만 아니라 산성우 및 동식물의 호흡기질환에 중요한 영향을 미친다.(Petros et al., 1989) (중략)

우리나라는 에너지원 다변화정책의 부족으로 인하여 화석연료의 과다사용 현상을 유발하고 있으며, 이로 인한 대기 및 기상환경의 악화현상이 초래되고 있는 실정이다. 또한, 산성비, 산성안개, 광화학스모그, 온실효과 및 사막화 현상의 원인이 되고 있으며, 이로 인한 심각한 환경오염문제를 유발시키고 있다. 한편, 경주 및 주변지역에는 1,000여 년을 지켜온 많은 석조문화재와 다양한 문화유적이 산재하여 있다. (중략)

산업의 발전과 인구의 과밀, 자동차의 증가는 오염물질의 배출을 크게 증가시켰지만, 최근 관련 규제의 강화로 각 도시의 대기질은 많이 개선되어 왔다. 그러나 중국으로부터 유입되고 있는 많은 대기오염물도 국내 산성비의 8∼42% 정도나 영향을 미친다고 하며, 국내 산업체에서 배출되는 오염물질의 양도도 같은 규모의 여전히 선진국에 높아서 환경 기준치를 넘는 경우도 자주 나타내고 있다. 질산염, 황산염 등의 산성오염물질은 대기중에 에어로졸과 산성가스 형태로 존재하고 있다. 이러한 산성물질들은 건성강하라는 형태로 지표면에 자연 침강되거나, 눈이나 비 또는 안개와 같은 습성강하 형태로 지표면으로 침적되어 대기중에서 제거되기도 한다.

Corrosion fatigue tests were carried out to clarify the influence of acid fog as environmental factor on the fatigue strength of SM55C using rotary bending fatigue tester. The fatigue strength of acid fog specimen extremely decreased about 80% compared to that of distilled water specimen. In acid fog environment, a number of cracks commenced at corrosion pit and coalesced with the adjacent cracks during they propagate, and they formed a single non-propagating circumferential crack under the endurance stress of N=5$\times$10$\^$7/ cycles. Also, the depth of the crack is smaller than that of normal fatigue crack, so the crack has a veil small aspect ratio. The reason of this peculiar crack growth characteristics is that the crack opening-closure behaviors are hindered by corrosion products on the surface crack faces, and hence it is thinkable that the strong corrosion action like anodic dissolution for crack growth in depth direction is weaker compared with surface, resulting from faint pumping action of crack during loading-shedding processes.

최근 대도시 지역의 오존농도가 환경 규제기준을 초과하는 빈도가 증가하고 있는 실정이다. 이들은 대부분 탄화수소로 이루어진 유기화합물로 구성되어 있다. 따라서 이러한 물질들은 오존의 생성과 관련 있는 전구체(precursor)로 작용을 하기 때문에 집중적인 모니터링이 요구되고 있다.(한국대기보전학회 측정분석분과위원회, 1998). 오존은 산화제인 $H_2O$$_2$, O2, OH와 더불어 대기중 수분과 NOx, SOx가 반응을 하여 황산, 질산을 포함하는 산성비, 산성안개등의 생성에 중요한 역할을 한다고 알려져 있다.

A study on acidity in fog, dew and frost was carried out. Samples were taken during May 1990-February 1991 at two sites in Chongwon, Choongbook. The acidity of dew and of fog collected from grass at site A was 4.89 and 5.46, respectively. Dew in summer showed very strong acidity. The volume of dew deposited on grass was much less than the volume of rain, but dew is effective to diffuse acid predursors and acid materials. Dew and fog can remove more effectively atmospheric acid materiasl deoposited on grass by diurnal turbulent motion rather than direct absorption of acid predursors and materials in the atmosphere. In a polluted area, acidic dew and fog can be occurred by the direct absorption and oxidation of acidic predursors in the atmosphere as well as the role of wet removal on grass surface. Acidity of frost collected on teflon surface showed little difference to acidity of dew and fog on teflon surface. This suggests a similar absorption mechanism of atmospheric precursors and materials into dew and frost in the atmosphere. Strong acidity in dew, fog and frost appeared to occur from local pollution sources of several ten kilometres. In particular, strong acidity in dew, fog, and frost together with acid rain can accelerate a damage in ecosystems. Discussion is made on scientific analyses and seasonal variations of acidity of fog, dew and frost. A mechanism on acidification of fog, dew and frost is also discussed.

Fog water samples were collected at Chunchon, Korea, by using active fog sampler during foggy Period in fall of 1996 and 1997. The average annual foggy days at Chunchon increased from 37 days, for the yearn 1963 ∼ 1973, to 63 days , for the year 1974∼1993 that followed the construction of Lake Soyang. Volume weighted mean pH of fog water was 5.5 with a range of 4.8 to 7.0 in 1996, and 5.0 with a range of 4.1 to 6.6 in 1997. These pH values were higher than those of rain water sampled in corresponding years. However the concentration of ionic species in fog water were 26 times higher than those of rain water. The major anions in fog water were in order of SO42-, NO3- and Cl-, and their average concentrations were 1770.6meq/ml, 346.2 meq/ml, 216 meq/ml in 1996, and 901.8meq/ml, 269.6meq/ml, 141.0meq/ml in 1997, respectively. The major cations were Ca2+, NH4+, Mg2+ and K+, and their average concentrations frere 408.5meq/ml, 280.0meq/ml, 43.8meq/ml, 45.2meq/ml in 1996, and 400.4 meq/ml, 299.0meq/ml, 73.1meq/ml, 44.5meq/ml in 1997, respectively. The fraction acidity of fog water was 0.006 and that of rain water was 0.2, which means fog water was much more neutralized than rain water.
