대기중의 산성도($H^+$)를 측정하기 위하여 디누더 시스템(Annula Denuder System)을 이용하였다. 산성도 측정은 1990년 4월 부터 1001년 3월 까지 미국 시카고에서 81개 샘플을 12시간 동안 낮과 밤을 구분하여 측정하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 대기중의 산성도 측정은 디누더 시스템을 이용하면 보다 정확한 결과를 얻을 수 있을음 알 수 있었다. 여과지에 포집된 산성도($H^+$)를 추출해 낼때 사용하는 $HCIO_4$용액은 $10^{-5}N$의 농도를 사용하는 것이 $10^{-4}N$의 농도보다 더 정확한 결과를 얻을 수 있다. 보다 정확한 산성도를 측정하기 위해서는 에어로졸이 여과지에 포집되기 전에 가스 상태의 $NH_3$가 먼저 제거되어야 한다. 산성도는 계절에 따라 변하였고 여름에 가장 높은 농도를 나타냈다. $SO_4^{2+} 와 $NH_4^+$, 그리고 $SO_4^{2+}와 $H^+$의 상관관계는 높은 것으로 나타났다.

We examined acidity state of inorganic aerosol and oxidation state of organic aerosol by High Resolution Time of Flight Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (HR-ToF-AMS) at Baengnyeong Super site from Jan 2012 to Dec 2013. Additionally, we carried out the analysis for the aerosol component group of organic matter ($C_xH_y$, $C_xH_yO_1$, $C_xH_yO_z$, $C_xH_yO_zN_p$) and elemental composition to calculate H/C, O/C, N/C, OM/OC and identify the oxidation state. The aerosol chemical composition in this study is dominated by sulfate ($SO_4{^{2-}}$), nitrate ($NO_3{^-}$) plays a smaller role in aerosol acidity. Ammonium ($NH_4{^+}$) was found in a formation of $(NH_4)_3H(SO_4)_2$. However, the binding formations of $NH_4NO_3$ and $NH_4Cl$ increase in the winter. $C_xH_yO_1$ indicating the oxidized state of $PM_{1.0}$ has the highest ratio of 41% while $C_xH_y$ indicating the non-oxidized state has a lower ratio of 36%, meaning that the oxidation level of $PM_{1.0}$ in Baengnyeong Island is high. The ratio between H/C and O/C was 1.33 and 0.78 respectively, showing the characteristic of LV-OOA (Low volatility-Oxygenated Organic Aerosol). Acidic and oxidized aerosols sampled during this field study were largely anthropogenic in origin from Chinese continent and photochemically aged.

The presence of airborne particles in the earth atmosphere expert important controls on the global climate because of their effects on the radiative balance. However, there are major uncertainties associated with the direct and indirect radiative effects of aerosols. In addition, their physicochemical properties cannot only the decline of air quality but also damage human health. Airborne particles were collected by two different commercial air samples, high volume sampler(for TSP) and low volume sampler(for P $M_{10}$ ) at the campus of Kunsan National University during February to September, 2000. In most cases, TSP and P $M_{10}$ were sampled once a week for the duration of 24 hours from 9:00 a.m. In addition samples were collected more intenisve, when the yellow dust was expected. Each sample was analyzed for pH and major ions concentration (C $l^{[-10]}$ , S $O_4$$^{2-}$, N $O_3$$^{[-10]}$ , N $a^{+}$, N $H_4$$^{+}$, $K^{+}$, $Mg^{2+}$, $Ca^{2+}$) by ion chromatography and atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Acidity (pH) of TSP and P $M_{10}$ ranged from 5.09 to 8.51 and from 6.22 to 7.54, respectively. The concentrations of airborne particles were found to satisfy both the short and long-term air quality standards during the sampling period. If the ratio of ionic concentrations originating from None sea salt(Nss) to sea salt(ss) in aerosol samples was concerned, it was found that the ionic concentrations from marine environment contributed dominantly in total mass concentration in the airborne particles. When seasonal trends were examined, the TSP concentrations in spring were higher than those of other seasons. It may result form frequent occurrences of yellow dust and during the spring season. The concentration ratio of P $M_{10}$ to TSP ranged from 0.78 to 1 during the sampling period. pH in the airborne particle was highest during spring, but the other seasons maintained almost same level. These results suggest that alkaline species in yellow dust can directly neutralize aerosol acidity. During spring season, yellow dust could be a positive factor that can defer the acidification of surface soil and water by neutralizing acidic aerosols in the atmosphere.osphere.

The fog water chemistry and deposition in northern Japan were investigated by fog water and throughfall measurements in 2010. Fog water was sampled weekly by an active-string fog sampler at Lake Mashu from May to November. Throughfall measurements were conducted using rain gauges under three deciduous trees along the somma of the lake from August to October. The mean fog deposition rate (flux) was calculated using throughfall data to estimate the total fog water deposition amount for the entire sampling period. $NH_4{^+}$ and $SO{_4}^{2-}$ were the most abundant cation and anion, respectively, in the fog water samples. A mean pH of 5.08 in the fog water, which is higher than those in rural areas in Japan, was observed. The [$NH_4{^+}$]/[$SO{_4}^{2-}$] equivalent ratio in fog water was larger than 1.0 throughout the study period, indicating that $NH_3$ gas was the primary neutralizing agent for fog water acidity. The mean rate and total amount of fog water deposition were estimated as 0.15 mm $h^{-1}$ and 164 mm, respectively. The amounts of nitrogen and sulfate deposition via fog water deposition were corresponded to those reported values of the annual deposition amounts via rainfall.

Characteristics of anbient at Korean, Cheju Island have been studied during the intensive field study period on March 11 .sim. 17, 1994 in collaboration with other research organizations from Korea and abroad. The particle size distribution was measured using an Electrical Aerosol Analyzer(EAA) and an Optical particle Counter(OPC). Fine particles(PM1 and PM3) have been collected by filter pack samplers and their ionic compositions have been analyzed. sampling errors inherent to the filter pack sampling method are discussed and the method to analyze those errors are presented. The rine mass concentrations of this study show very similar mass concentrations when Seoul is clear. This is somewhat surprising result, because the most of researchers believe that Kosan is one of the cleanest area in Korea. Bimodal volume size distributions with peak values around 0.1 .sim. 0.2.mu.m and 3.mu.m in particle dimeter were observed for most of the measurement period, particle mass loadings and ionic composition data show a large fraction of particles are from non-sea salt origins. Estimation of water content and acidity of particles based on measurement by a gas/particle equilibrium model, SCAPE, reveals that the pH values of particles are comparable to or lower than those estimated based on measurements in Los Angeles, U.S.A. during the SCAQS study. These findings with the meteorological conditions during the study period suggest that the particles collected during the period have originated from outside Cheju Island.

Environmental fate of ionizable organic pollutants such as perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) are of increasing interest but has not been well understood because of uncertain values for parameters related with atmospheric interphase partitioning behavior. In the present study, not only the values for air-water partition coefficient (K_AW) and dissociation constant (pKa) of PFAAs were induced by adjusting to in situ measurements of air-water distribution coefficient between vapor phase and rainwater but also gas-particle partition coefficients were also estimated using three-phase partitioning model of ionizable organic pollutants, in situ measurements of PFAAs in aerosol and air vapor phase, and obtained parameter values. The pKa values of PFAAs we obtained were close to the minimum values suggested in literature except for perfluorooctane sulfonic acids, and COSMOtherm-modeled K_AW values were assessed to more appropriate among suggested values. When applying parameter values we obtained, it was predicted that air particle-associated fate and transport of PFAAs could be negligible and PFAAs could distribute ubiquitously along the transection from urban to rural region by pH-dependent phase transfer in air. Our study is expected to have some implications in prediction of the environmental redistribution of other ionizable organic compounds.

Effects of crustal species on the characteristics of ambient particles were studied by applying a gas-particle equilibrium model, SCAPE, to the measurements at Kosan, Cheju Island during the spring and summer, 1994. Two cases were simulated; the measured composition was used without any modification (case 1), and the metal ion concentrations originated from crust were subtracted from the measured particle composition (case 2). Total suspended particles (TSPs) were collected by an automatic high volume tape sampler during spring period and by high volume samplers during summer period. The fine particles, PM 2.5, and gaseous volatile species were collected using a filter pack smapler during summer period. The water soluble ion concentrations were analyzed from all the particle samples. According to the simulation results, the effect of crustal elements on the chemical composition of particles is negligible for both TSP particles and PM 2.5 particles. Acidity of particles measured at Kosan, however, is affected by the change of the concentrations of crustal species, stronger effects for TSP particles than for PM 2.5 particles during summer, and stronger effects during summer than spring for TSP particle. The average pH decrease due to the absence of crustal species was about 0.10 for PM 2.5 particle during summer and 1.51 and 0.85 for TSP particles during summer spring, respectively. Water contents of PM 2.5 particles for both cases are comparable to each other. Estimated water content of TSP particles for case 2 is higher than that for case 1 by about 4 $\sim 6 \mum/m^3$ because salts of metal ions are not hygroscopic.

CFCs(chlorofluorocarbons)에 의한 여러 지구 환경문제들이 발생되고 있는 가운데, 사용후 회수된 CFCs에 대하여 보다 안전한 파괴방법이 요구되고 있다. 이런 관점에서 CFC-113의 분해를 위한 보다 좋은 조건을 개발하고자 접촉 산화분해반응하에서 솔-젤법으로 만들어진 에어로젤 $TiO_2-SiO_2(ATS)$ 촉매에 대하여 본 연구를 행하였다. 솔-젤법으로 만들어진 ATS 촉매가 초기 활성에서 우수하였지만 반응시간이 경과함에 따라 침전법에 의해 제조된 촉매보다 급격한 활성저하를 나타내었다. 이런 비활성화의 원인은 SEM-EDX와 XRD의 분석으로부터 생성가스 $F_2$에 의한 촉매표면의 Si 원자에 대한 결합, 유출에 기인된 것으로 판단되었다. 그리고 ATS 촉매제조과정에서 prehydrolysis 방법으로 처리된 촉매가 촉매 표면의 산성도가 증가됨에 따라 촉매활성이 지속적으로 유지되고 촉매 피독에 의한 비활성화가 느리게 진행되는 것이 관찰되었다. 또한 ATS 촉매 반응에 있어서 Ti의 mol 비가 80%까지 증가함에 따라서도 산성도가 증가되어 본 반응에서 활성 유지와 비활성화 진행속도가 느리게 됨을 발견할 수 있었다. 한편, ATS 촉매에 대해 황산이온처리된 $ATS/SO_4{^{2-}}$ 촉매가 촉매의 활성유지와 비활성화 방지에 있어서 우수한 성질을 나타내었다. 그러므로 본 반응에 있어서 촉매 표면에 대한 황산이온의 처리가 촉매의 비활성화 방지에 기여할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

전북의 전주, 군산, 남원지역에서 주기적으로 채수된 강수(bulk deposition)를 지화학적으로 고찰하고 Sr과 Pb 동위원소의 환경추적인자로서의 적용 여부를 알아보고자 하였다. 강수는 pH $4\~7$의 약산성내지 산성을 띄며, 건기에는 높고, 우기에는 자연산성도 수준인 5.0수준을 유지한다. 강수에 의한 희석작용으로, 우기이후의 강수는 TDS 및 EC도 낮아지나 다시 건기에 들어서면서 상승한다. 겨울철에는 난방연료의 연소에 의해 $SO_4$과 $NO_3$이 높은 함량을 보이며, 여름철은 $CO_2$가스의 영향으로 탄산농도가 약간 높은 경향을 보인다 양이온은 겨울철에 Na의 함량이 높고, 봄부터 여름철에는 Ca의 함량이 높게 나타난다. 지리산에 인접한 남원이 전반적으로 낮은 EC 및 TDS값을 가지고 인구밀집과 도시화가 심한 전주지역은 대체로 높다. 남원지방은 다량의 수목의 호흡작용에 의한 대기중 이사화탄소의 함량이 높아 여름철 탄산 농도가 타 지역에 비해 높다. 군산지역은 해염의 영향으로 대기중 Cl의 함량이 높다. Al, Cu, Zn은 TDS와 상관계수 0.5이상의 양호한 상관관계를 보여 이들 원소가 미량원소 중 강수의 화학적 성상에 영향을 미치는 원소들 이라고 볼 수 있다. $^{87}Sr/^{86}Sr$ 값은 0.7109-0.7128으로 세 지역 모두 유사하며, 해수보다 다소 높은 값을 보이고 있어 주변의 토양입자, 꽃가루, 기타 인위기원의 에어로졸 등의 영향이 있음을 암시하나 지역 전반에 걸친 자세한 동위원소적 고찰이 있어야만 보다 정확한 해석이 가능할 것으로 생각된다. 강수의 Pb 동위원소 조성도 세 지역 모두 유사하며, 서울 에어로졸의 Pb 동위원소 조성 범위내에 포함되고 북경의 에어로졸 범위에서는 약간 벗어나 있다. 이는 한반도내의 대기 중에 함유되어 있는 Pb은 모두 유사한 기원으로 휘발유의 연소에서 발생하는 것으로 생각되며, 중국으로부터 기원한 Pb의 존재 가능성은 내포하고 있으나 그 기여율은 적을 것으로 보인다.
