오존은 질소산화물, 일산화탄소 및 휘발성 유기화학물질 등의 광화학반응에 의해 생성되는 2차 오염물질이다(Haagen-Smit and Fox, 1953). 오존은 낮은 농도에서도 인체 및 식물에게 영향을 미치는 것으로 알려져 있다. 우리나라에서도 오존의 대기환경기준을 8시간 평균 0.06ppm, 1시간 평균 0.10ppm으로 낮추고, 오존예보제ㆍ경보제 등을 운영하여 오존에 의한 영향을 줄이고자 노력하고 있다. 그러나 서울과 같은 도시 밀집지역은 자동차의 밀집과 대형건축물의 증가, 기류 정체로 오염물질의 확산이 어렵고 도심지 내 열섬(heat island)현상으로 대기온도가 증가하여 오존생성에 유리한 조건을 형성함으로 인해 연평균 오염도가 1990년 이후 꾸준히 증가하고 있는 추세이다.

20세기 기술의 발달과 산업화에 따라 세계 각 국에서는 인간이 제어하기 힘든 거대 규모의 도시가 계속하여 형성되고 있다. 전 세계 대도시들 중 대기오염도가 심한 도시의 하나에 속하는 필리핀의 Metro-Manila는 1975년 11월 마닐라를 중심으로 총 13개 소도시와 4개의 자치지구가 통합되어 구성되었으며, 면적은 서울(605.5$\textrm{km}^2$)과 비슷한 636.0$\textrm{km}^2$이다. 인구 밀도는 약 15,617명/$\textrm{km}^2$로 서울(17,046명/$\textrm{km}^2$)보다는 다소 낮고, 전체 인구수는 서울과 유사한 약 1천만 명 정도이다.

Passive air samplers (PAS) have been developed since the early 2000s and widely used for the atmospheric monitoring of persistent organic pollutants (POPs). PAS are useful especially for the investigation of source-receptor relationship of POPs because they provide higher spatial resolution data. In Korea, however, only a few research groups have conducted POPs monitoring using PAS. One of the reasons for the limited application of PAS might be due to a complicated calculation method for air concentration. In this study, therefore, we introduced the principle of polyurethane foam (PUF)-PAS, which has been most widely used in the world, and provided an example of the calculation of air concentration of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). As all data tables and equations for this calculation were provided, this method can be used for the conversion of the amount of POPs (ng) in a PUF disk to air concentration ($ng/m^3$).

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of diffusive(or passive) sampler in measuring airbone organic solvents. Diffusive samplers are generally simple in construction and do not require power for operation. The efficiency of the diffusive samplers has not sufficiently been investigated in Korea. Three types of samplers were studied in this study. The sampling and analytical results by passive samplers were compared with results by charcoal tube method recommended by NIOSH(National Institute for Occupational Safty and Health). The following characteristics are identified and studied as critical to the performance passive monitors; recovery, reverse diffusion, storage stability, accuracy and precision, face velocity and humidity, n-Hexane, TCE(trichloroethylene) and toluene were used as test vapors. A dynamic vapor exposure system consisting of organic vapor generator and sampling chamber for evaluating diffusive samplers are made. The results of the study are summarized as follows. 1. NIOSH recommands that the overall accuracy of a sampling method in the range of 0.5 to 2.0 times the occupational health standard should be ${\pm}25$ percent for 95 percent confidence level. Among three types of diffusive samplers, sampler A has permeation membrane and samplers Band C have diffusive areas, samplers A and B met the criterion that overall accuracy for 95% confidence level of the samplers were within ${\pm}25$ percent of the reference value. Sampler C had overall accuracy ${\pm}9.6%$ and ${\pm}11.8%$ in hexane and TCE, respectively. The concentration of toluene was overestimated in sampler C with overall accuracy of ${\pm}43.9%$. 2. The desorption efficiencies of diffusive samplers were 96-107%. 3. There was no significant sampe loss during four weeks of storage both with and without refrigeration. 4. There was no significant reverse diffusion, when the samplers were exposure to clean air for 2 hours after sampling for 2 hours at the level of 2 TLY. 5. In case of 8 hours sampling, relative differences(RD) of concentrations between charcoal tube method and diffusive method were 15-39%, 13-46%, and 4-35% for sampler A, B and C, respectively. The performance was poor in 8 hours sampling for multiple substance monitors. 6. At high velocity(100 cm/sec), samplers B and C overestimated the concentrations of organic vapors, and sampler A with permeation membrance gave better results. 7. At 80% relative humidity, samplers showed no siginificant effect. Low humidity also did not affect the diffusive samplers.

This study investigated on concentrations of PCDD/Fs and the homologue profiles deposited on pine needles and soil collected from different areas. As, in an area, the concentration of ${\sum}PCDD/Fs$ of pine needles decreased, the percentages of the higher chlorinated homologues of pine needles decreased, and those of lower chlorinated ones increased. However on the contrary the percentages of the higher chlorinated homologues of soil increased and those of lower chlorinated ones decreased. The concentrations of PCDD/Fs deposited on pine needles only depended upon those of PCDD/Fs in air, while the concentration of PCDD/Fs deposited on soil depended upon those of organic matter contents as well as those of PCDD/Fs in air. The results showed that pine needles rather than soil were adequate as a passive sampler.

다양한 배출원을 통해 외부로 발산되는 악취유발물질이 생활환경에 미치는 영향을 객관적으로 조사하고 평가하기 위해서는 인간의 감각기관을 이용하는 관능측정법과 화학성분을 분석하는 기기분석법을 동시에 적용하는 것이 필요하다. 그러나 인간의 감각기관을 이용하여야 하는 관능측정법의 경우 판정인이 장시간에 걸쳐 악취현상을 평가할 수 없다는 한계를 갖고 있으며, 기기분석법의 경우도 측정방법의 특성상 장시간 동안 시료를 채취하기 어려운 문제점을 갖고있어 풍향 및 풍속 등 기상조건에 따라 순간적으로 감지되는 취기수준이 다른 악취현상을 명확하게 규명하는데 일정부분의 한계를 갖게된다.

인체의 유해성과 더불어 오존과의 반응성으로 관심의 대상이 되고 있는 대기 환경 중에 VOCs 물질은 최근 약 10여년간 대기 환경 관리에 주요 관심 대강이었으며, 앞으로도 지속적인 노력이 이루어 질 대상이다. 이러한 VOCs는 배출원 및 그 종의 다양성, 그리고 일반적으로 수십 ppb이하의 매우 낮은 농도로 대기 환경 중에 존재하고 있어 측정 및 관리에 어려운 물질이나, 분석기술의 발달과 측정과정에 다양한 방법들이 개발됨에 따라 다양한 종류의 결과들이 발표되고 있다. 특히 이러한 폭정 결과들을 착용하여 이미 MSDS(Material Safety Data Sheets)나 각종 inventory, Database의 구축이 진행되고 있다.
