산업의 발달에 따른 환경 오염물질의 증가와 오염물질의 종류가 다양화됨에 따라 대기 중의 유해원소 및 미량원소에 의한 환경오염과 그로 인한 인체건강에 대한 영향은 인간생활에 심각한 문제가 되므로 대기 중의 농도를 정확히 측정하는 것은 매우 중요한 일이다. 특히 미세 입자는 오염된 도심지역 분진수의 90∼99%에 이르는 높은 비율을 보이고 있고, 폐 깊숙이 침투하여 폐암을 비롯한 폐질환을 일으킬 수 있다. (중략)

Several samplers using gravimetric methods such as high-volume air sampler, MiniVol portable sampler, personal environmental monitor(PEM) and cyclone were applied to determine the concentrations of fine particles in atmospheric condition. Comparative evaluation between high-volume air sampler and Minivol portable sampler for $PM_{10}$, and between Minivol portable sampler and PEM was undertaken from June, 2003 to January 2004. Simultaneously, meteorological conditions such as wind speed, wind direction, relative humidity and temperature was measured to check the factors affecting the concentrations of fine particles. In addition, particle concen­trations by cyclone with an aerodynamic diameter of $4{\mu}m$ were measured. Correlation coefficient between high­volume air sampler and portable air sampler for $PM_{10}$ was 0.79 (p<0.001). However, the mean concentration for $PM_{10}$ by high-volume air sampler was significantly higher than that by Minivol portable sampler (p=0.018). Correlation coefficient between Minivol portable sampler and PEM for $PM_{2.5}$ as 0.74 (p<0.001), and the measured mean concentrations for $PM_{2.5}$ did not show significant difference. Difference of the measured con­centrations of fine particle might be explained by wind speed and humidity among meteorological conditions. Particle concentration differences by measurement samplers were proportional to the wind speed, but inversely proportional to the relative humidity, though it was not a significant correlation.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to estimate the applicability of regional sample collection of environmental samples. The concentration of asbestos fibers were analyzed with two devices. One was an existing commercial air sampling pump that has been proved to be accurate and exact, and the other is a remodeled pump for sample collection which was made from an electric bubble generator originally designed for aquarium fish. Samples were collected with the two devices under the same environmental conditions and collection equipment. A comparative analysis of the concentration of ambient asbestos fiber was then performed. Methods: Based on previous research, six farmhouses with asbestos fiber slate roofs known to have high concentrations of asbestos fiber were selected. Using the existing commercial air sampling pump and the remodeled electric bubble generator, four to seven samples were collected each day one meter downwind from the edge of the slate roof at high volume (about 4 L/min) and low volume (about 1.4 L/min). The analyzer responsible for sample quality control of asbestos fibers counted the number of asbestos fibers with a phase microscope. Results: The rates of flow change of the existed sampler and the remodeled pump at high volume were 0.82% and 0.17%, respectively. The rates of flow change at low volume were 3.83% and 1.09%, but there was not significant difference. The rates of flow change are within the error range (${\pm}5%$) of OSHA analyzing methods. For the high volume sampler, the average asbestos fiber concentration in the air collected by the existed sampler is 6.270 fibers/L and for the remodeled one 5.527 fibers/L, not a significant difference. For the low volume sampler, the average asbestos fiber concentration in the air collected by the existed sampler is 7.755 fibers/L and for the remodeled one 7.706 fibers/L, not a significant difference. The total area of the slate roof of the targeted farmhouse has an effect on the concentration of asbestos fibers in the air from the existing pump and the remodeled one (p<0.01). Conclusions: The sampling function between the existing commercial pump and the remodeled one shows little difference. Therefore, the remodeled pump is considered a pump with a good availability for collecting ambient air asbestos samples.

This study was carried out to investigate the air pollution in Hwasoon Nulitjae tunnel for two months, from August 1992 to September 1992. The total suspended particles were collected by high volume air sampler at inside and outside of Hwasoon Nulitjae tunnel, of which major water soluble component and heavy metalic element were analyzed. Size distribution and respirable mass fraction of aerosol at inside were measured by filters on nine stages Andersen air sampler. The average concentration of TSP at inside was 657.57 $\mu$g/m$^3$, which appeared about 9.2 times as high as that of 71.47 $\mu$g/m$^3$ at outside. The decrease effect caused by using new tunnel was 31.2%. As a result of correlation analysis between concentration of TSP at inside of Hwasoon Nulitjae tunnel and that at outside, correlation coefficient was 0.713. The average concentrations of SO$_4^{2-}$ , NO$_3^-$, CI$^-$ were 43.02 $\mu$g/m$^3$, 19.86 $\mu$g/m$^3$, 4.96 $\mu$g/m$^3$, those of NH$_4^+$, Na$^+$, K$^+$ 1.42 $\mu$g/m$^3$, 4.45 $\mu$g/m$^3$, 2.89 $\mu$g/m$^3$ and those of Ca$^{2+}$, Mg$^{2+}$, Pb$^{2+}$ 3.92 $\mu$g/m$^3$, 2.27 $\mu$g/m$^3$. 1.52 $\mu$g/m$^3$, respectively. It was estimated that mass fraction rate of respirable particle at inside was about 84.54% of aerosol. The average concentration of suspended particle to be collected by Andersen sampler was 478.90 $\mu$g/m$^3$, this was about 72.8% of that by high volume air sampler.

최근 포괄적 핵실험금지조약 (Comprehensive Test Ban Traety : CTBT)의 체결은 전세계적으로 핵활동 감시 네트워크를 구축하는 것이다. 핵실험금지 위원회의 전문가들은 대기 방사성핵종의 측정을 핵실험 감시에 필수적인 요소로 제안하였으며, 이에 따른 기술적 요구사항을 제시하였다. 본 연구는 이를 근거로 핵활동으로부터 생성된 핵분열생성물을 검출하기 위하여 고성능 공기채집장치(High Volume Air Sampler: HVAS)와 여과지 압축기 그리고 고순도 게르마늄 반도체검출기(HPGe)로 대기 입자 방사성핵종 측정시스템을 구성하였다. 조속한 시일 내에 탐지와 최적의 측정 조건으로 본 시스템을 운영하기 위하여 CTBT 감시 전략에서 주요 핵종들에 대한 최소검출 방사능 농도(Minimum Detectable Concentration : MDC)를 decay time, counting time 그리고 sampler volumetric flow rate 등을 고려하여 결정하였다. 그 결과 각각 $10{\pm}$2h, $20{\pm}$2h, $850{\pm}50m^3$//h 정도로 선정하였다. 감마선 스펙트럼 분석에서 $^{212}Pb$ 방사능 농도의 변화는 Compton continuum의 baseline에 영향을 미치게 되므로 이에 기인한 MDC 관계식을 도출하였다. 이들 결과는 CTBT 감시 전략에 실제적인 도구로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The monitoring of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in the atmosphere is a basis for the study of the fate of POPs in multimedia environments. Recently, passive air samplers (PASs) for POPs have been developed. In this paper, we deal with the principle, properties, and applications of the PAS. The principle of PAS, which has no pump, is physical sorption of semi-volatile organic chemicals on various sorbent materials. The PAS is much smaller than a high-volume air sampler and does not need electricity. These properties of the PAS make it possible to conduct various-scaled environmental monitoring all over the world including the Arctic and Antarctic, but the major disadvantage of PAS is its long sampling periods up to 2 years. To date, four kinds of PAS have been developed: polyurethane foam (PUF), polymer-coated glass (POG), semi-permeable membrane devices (SPMDs), and XAD resin-based PAS. Among them, SPMDs have been commercialized and are most widely used now. Meanwhile, the POPs emitted from China have a large potential to influence the levels and fates of POPs in Korea. Since characteristics of PAS are quite useful to monitor long-range transport of POPs, the use of PAS is highly recommended.

Diurnal variation of $PM_{10}$ concentration was investigated for 24 sites in library including reading room, bookstock room, lobby, office and so on, and 9 sites in student building at Kangwon National University using scattering light integrated type digital dust indicator. The dimensional conversion factors for mass concentrations (K) were determined by comparing between the $PM_{10}$ concentrations collected by $PM_{10}$ hig volume air sampler and the digital dust indicator. The dimensional conversion factor (K) was 3.33 for indoor air in this experiment. The highest concentrations were 649 $\mug/m^3$/day for smoking room in the library and 242 $\mug/m^3$/day for circle room in the student building. Most of spaces in the library except a office and bookstock rooms were over 150 $\mug/m^3$/day of $PM_{10}$ concentrations and 6 indoor spaces were over the guideline for indoor air quality in student building except a health center and two restaurants. Therefore, it should be required to make an improvement on the indoor air quaility for public facilities in the university buildings.

Filter-based sampling techniques are the conventional way to collect particulate matter, but particles collected and entangled in the filter fibers are difficult to be removed and thus not suited for the following cell- and animal-based exposure experiments. Collecting aerosol particles in powder form using a cyclone instead of a filter would be a possible way to solve this problem. We developed a hybrid virtual-impactor/cyclone high-volume fine and coarse particle sampler and assessed its performance. The developed system achieved 50% collection efficiency with components having the following aerodynamic cut-off diameters: virtual impactor, $2.4{\mu}m$; fine-particle cyclone, $0.18-0.30{\mu}m$; and coarse-particle cyclone, $0.7{\mu}m$. The virtual impactor used in our set-up had good $PM_{2.5}$ separation performance, comparable to that reported for a conventional real impactor. The newly developed sampler can collect fine and coarse particles simultaneously, in combination with exposure testing with collected fine- and coarse-particulate matter samples, should help researchers to elucidate the mechanism by which airborne particles result in adverse health effect in detail.
