We performed the comparison of observed $PM_{10}$ and $PM_{2.5}$ at both the Yonsei University and the AIRKOREA site in the same Seodaemun-gu district, Seoul from March to December 2016. Generally, the moderate correlations between two sites were found for both $PM_{10}$ and $PM_{2.5}$, but monthly difference was somewhat occurred, implying that the measurement situation is not equally maintained even in a closely located area. Particularly correlations became weaker in June and July, which seems the impact of rainy conditions. Correlations between two stations were higher for $PM_{10}$ compared to $PM_{2.5}$, probably indicating the spatially larger difference of fine mode particle. Monthly mean variation was similar between two sites showing a maximum in March and minimum in August. Diurnal variation was somewhat different: morning peak at Yonsei University but evening peak at the Seodaemun-gu AIRKOREA site, reflecting the difference of local air condition. We also compared the extent of $PM_{10}$ and $PM_{2.5}$ according to the local wind speed and direction. In general, the level of particulate matter was high when the wind is blowing from the northwestern area with low wind speed, meaning the high accumulation effect of transported air particles. Findings of this study can be usefully considered for the investigation about the discrepancy of aerosol measurement in a local scale.

Recently, as the amount of fine dust has risen rapidly, our interest is increasing day by day. It is virtually impossible to remove fine dust. However, it is best to predict the concentration of fine dust and minimize exposure to it. In this study, we developed a mathematical model that can predict the concentration of fine dust using various information related to the weather and air quality, which is provided in real time in 'Air Korea (http://www.airkorea.or.kr/)' and 'Weather Data Open Portal (https://data.kma.go.kr/).' In the mathematical model, various domestic seasonal variables and atmospheric state variables are extracted by multiple regression analysis. The parameters that have significant influence on the fine dust concentration are extracted, and using ANN (Artificial Neural Network) and SVM (Support Vector Machine), which are machine learning techniques, we proposed a prediction model. The proposed model can verify its effectiveness by using past dust and weather big data.

As the need for PM type observation increases, Surface Particulate Matter Network (SPARTAN), PM samplers analyzes aerosol samples for PM mass concentration and chemical composition, were recently installed at two sites: Yonsei University at Seoul and Ulsan Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) at Ulsan. These SPARTAN filter samplers and nephelometers provide the PM_2.5 mass concentration and chemical speciation data with aerosol type information. We introduced the overall information and installation of SPARTAN at the field site in this study. After installation and observation, both Seoul and Ulsan sites showed a similar time series pattern with the daily PM_2.5 mass concentration of SPARTAN and the data of Airkorea. In particular, in the case of high concentrations of fine particles, daily average value of PM_2.5 was relatively well-matched. During the Yonsei University observation period, high concentrations were displayed in the order of sulfate, black carbon (BC), ammonium, and calcium ions on most measurement days. The case in which the concentration of nitrate ions showed significant value was confirmed as the period during which the fine dust alert was issued. From the data analysis, SPARTAN data can be analyzed in conjunction with the existing urban monitoring network, and it is expected to have a synergetic effect in the research field. Additionally, the possibility of being analyzed with optical data such as AERONET is presented. In addition, the method of installing and operating SPARTAN has been described in detail, which is expected to help set the stage for the observation system in the future.

본 연구에서는 대류권 오존과 전구체인 nitrogen oxides (NOx), volatile organic compounds (VOCs)의 광화학반응 관계를 살펴보고자, Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI)와 TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument(TROPOMI)의 nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), formaldehyde (HCHO), OMI/Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) tropospheric column ozone (TCO), Airkorea 지상측정 ozone (O₃) 자료를 분석하였다. OMI 위성자료를 이용하여 2006년부터 2020년까지 장기 변화 경향을 살펴보면 TCO는 동북아시아 지역 전체적으로 증가하는 추세를 보였으며, NO₂는 꾸준히 감소하고 HCHO는 계속해서 증가하는 경향성을 보였다. 또한 오존 민감도의 지표인 formaldehyde nitrogen dioxide ratio (FNR)은 점점 증가하고 있으며, 이는 VOC-limited 영역이 감소하고 있음을 의미한다. 본 연구는 한국 지역 오존의 지속적인 증가 원인을 밝히기 위해서 최근 4년 기간(2019~2022년)의 TROPOMI FNR과 지상 측정 O₃를 이용하여 국내 오존 생성 민감도 분석을 진행하였다. 기존 선행연구들과 동일하게 국내 대도시 지역에서 VOC-limited 및 Transitional 영역이 나타났으며, 그 외에도 국내 주요 발전소가 위치한 지역에서 VOC-limited 영역이 나타났다. VOC-limited 영역, 즉 NOx가 과도하게 포화되어 있는 영역에서는 NOx 배출 감소가 오히려 적정 반응을 약화시켜 국내 오존 농도 증가를 유도했을 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 VOC-limited 영역이 나타나는 지역에서 오존 농도를 감소시키기 위해서는 NOx의 배출보다 단기적으로 VOC 배출을 감소시켜야 함을 시사한다.

본 연구는 2010년 1월부터 2018년 12월까지 일산화탄소의 12일 단기 노출에 따른 순환계통 질환 사망자 수의 영향관계를 분석하였고, 일산화탄소 농도 증가에 따른 미래의 순환계통 질환의 진료비용을 예측하였다. 한국환경공단의 대기환경정보(Airkorea)와 한국 통계청에서 자료를 추출하였고, 포아송 회귀분석과 ARIMA 개입 모형을 사용하여 분석하였다. 통계처리는 SPSS Ver. 21.0 프로그램을 이용하였다. 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 일산화탄소의 단기 노출에 따른 순환계통 질환 사망에 영향관계를 당일부터 이전 11일 전까지 분석한 결과는 이전 11일에서 가장 높은 영향력이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 일산화탄소 농도 증가에 따라 미래의 순환계통 질환 진료비용은 2019년 예측값이 10,123십억원으로 2018년 12월 말의 관측값 9,443십억원보다 높게 나타났다. 또한 월별로 정리해 보면 순환계통 질환 진료비용은 계절변동이 반영되어 1월 보다 12월로 갈수록 높아진다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 연구를 통하여 일산화탄소와 같은 대기오염물질 증가에 따른 선제적 대응을 위하여 IoT를 활용한 다양한 기기 및 장비를 보급함으로써 모든 국민의 건강한 삶을 위한 미래가 실현될 수 있을 것이다.

Background: Busan is a rapidly industrializing city with many mixed residential and industrial areas. Fine dust emissions from mobile pollution sources such as ships and vehicles are particularly high in Busan. Objectives: This study analyzed the spatial distribution of air pollutants over the past three years and identified the impact of air pollutants through mobile source data in Busan. Methods: We obtained air pollutant data on fine particulate matter (PM₁₀), ultrafine particulate matter (PM_2.5), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), sulfurous acid gas (SO₂), and ozone (O₃) for the last three years (source: airkorea.or.kr) and analyzed the spatial distribution using SAS 9.4 and Surfer 23. For the mobile pollutant data, we used CCTV data from major intersections in Busan to identify truck and car traffic, and visualized traffic density with QGIS. Results: The analysis of the concentration of air pollutants over three years (2020~2022) showed that all were lower than the annual environmental standards with the exception of PM_2.5. PM₁₀ and PM_2.5 were found to be highly concentrated in the western part of the area, while NO₂ was high in the port area of Busan and SO₂ was high in the western part of the area and near the new port of Busan. In the case of O₃, it was high in the eastern part of the city. The traffic volume of freight vehicles by intersection was concentrated in the West Busan area, and the traffic volume for all cars was also confirmed to be concentrated at "Mandeok Intersection" located in the West Busan area. Conclusions: This study was conducted to determine the relationship between air pollutants emitted from motor vehicles and the distribution of air pollutants in Busan. The spatial distribution of PM₁₀ and PM_2.5 correlates with traffic volume, while high concentrations of SO₂ and NO₂ near the port are associated with ship emissions.
