Measurements on mass size distribution of roadside aerosols were obtained in downtown Jeju City from July 2018 to May 2020 using an 8-stage cascade impactor sampler and the compositions of aerosols were analyzed. The mass size distribution of total aerosols was bimodal with aerosols existing in both the fine and coarse modes. The mass size distributions of Na⁺, Mg²⁺, Ca²⁺, Cl^-, NH₄⁺ and SO₄^2- were unimodal, whereas that of K⁺ was bimodal. For NO₃^-, the size distribution in winter and spring was bimodal with the peaks in both fine and coarse modes, whereas for summer and autumn the distribution was unimodal with a peak in the coarse mode. NH₄⁺ was found to co-exist with SO₄^2- in the fine mode with an average molar ratio of [NH₄⁺]/[SO₄^2-] equal to 2.05. Good correlation was observed between NO₃^- and NH₄⁺ in the fine mode particles in spring and winter. Based on the value of the marine enrichment factor for Cl^-, Mg²⁺, K⁺, Ca²⁺ and SO₄^2-, it may be inferred that a major part of the roadside aerosols in downtown Jeju City was largely contributed by terrigenous sources, although the influence of sea salt was normally present.

제주도 고산지역에서 TSP (total suspended particulate), PM2.5 (particulate matter, below $2.5\;{\mu}m$ particle size) 대기에어로졸을 채취, 분석하여 에어로졸의 조성과 오염 특성을 조사하였다. 고산지역 대기에어로졸에서 nss(non-sea salt)-$SO_4^{2-}$과 $NH_4^+$은 다른 국내 청정지역 및 도시지역에 비해 높은 조성비를보이고 $NO_3^-$는 상대적으로 낮은 조성비를 나타내었다. 에어로졸 성분의 입경별 분포를 비교해 본 결과, 인위적 기원의 nss-$SO_4^{2-}$, $NO3_^-$, $NH_4^+$ 성분들은 대체적으로 미세입자에, 토양기원의 nss-$Ca^{2+}$과 해염기원의 $Na^+$, $Cl^-$, $Mg^{2+}$은 상대적으로 조대입자에 많이 분포하고 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 계절별로는 봄철에 nss-$Ca^{2+}$, Al, Fe, Ca, $NO_3^-$ 성분의 농도가 크게 상승하고, nss-$SO_4^{2-}$은 여름과 봄철에 높은 농도를 나타내었다. 인자분석 결과, 에어로졸은 대체적으로 인위적 발생원의 영향을 많이 받고, 다음으로 해양 및 토양 영향을 많이 받았다. 또한 역궤적 분석법으로 에어로졸 성분의 유입경로를 조사해 본 결과, nss-$SO_4^{2-}$, $NO_3^-$, Pb, nss-$Ca^{2+}$ 성분들은 대체적으로 기류가 중국대륙으로부터 제주지역으로 이동할 때 훨씬 더 높은 농도를 나타낸 반면, 북태평양에서 제주지역으로 이동할 때 상대적으로 낮은 농도를 나타내었다.

This study identified physical characteristics and aerosol particle sources of $PM_{10}$ and $PM_{2.5}$ in the industrial complex of Busan Metropolitan City, Korea. Samples of $PM_{10}$, $PM_{2.5}$ and also soil, were collected in several areas during the year of 2012 to investigate elemental composition. A URG cyclone sampler was used for collection. The samples were collected according to each experimental condition, and the analysis method of SEM-EDX was used to determine the concentration of each metallic element. The comparative analysis indicated that their mass concentration ranged from 1% to 3%. The elements in the industrial region that were above 10% were Si, Al, Fe, and Ca. Those below 5% were Na, Mg, and S. The remaining elements (1% of total mass) consisted of elements such as Ni, Co, Br and Pb. Finally, a statistical tool was applied to the elemental results to identify each source for the industrial region. From a principal components analysis (SPSS, Ver 20.0) performed to analyze the possible sources of $PM_{10}$ in the industrial region, five main factors were determined. Factor 1 (Si, Al), which accounted for 15.8% of the total variance, was mostly affected by soil and dust from manufacturing facilities nearby, Factors 2 (Cu, Ni), 3 (Zn, Pb), and 4 (Mn, Fe), which also accounted for some of variance, were mainly related to iron, non-ferrous metals, and other industrial manufacturing sources. Also, five factors determined to access possible sources of $PM_{2.5}$, Factor 1 (Na, S), accounted for 13.5% of the total variance and was affected by sea-salt particles and fuel incineration sources, and Factors 2 (Ti, Mn), 3 (Pb, Cl), 4 (K, Al) also explained significant proportions of the variance. Theses factors mean that the $PM_{2.5}$ emission sources may be considered as sources of incineration, and metals, and non-ferrous manufacturing industries.

The Korean government strengthened the environmental polices to manage and enhance Metropolitan Area air quality, and also has enforced "Special Act on Seoul Metropolitan Air Quality Improvement (SASMAQI)" issued in Dec. 2004. Recently government expanded the Seoul Metropolitan Air Quality Management District (SMAQMD) to the outskirts satellite cities of Seoul area through the "Revised Law Draft of SASMAQI". The SMAQMD has been alloted the allowable emission loads to the local governments on the basis of the carrying $PM_{10}$ capacity. However, in order to establish the effective air quality control strategy for $PM_{10}$, it is necessary to understand the corresponding sources which have a potential to directly impact ambient $PM_{10}$ concentration. To deal with the situations, many receptor methodologies have been developed to identify the origins of pollutants and to determine the contributions of sources of interests. The objective of this study was to extensively identify $PM_{10}$ sources and to estimate their contributions at the metropolitan area. $PM_{10}$ samples were simultaneously collected at the 3 semi-industrialized local cities in the Seoul metropolitan area such as Hwasung-si, Paju-si, and Icheon-si sites from April 15 to May 31, 2007. The samples collected on the teflon membrane filter by one $PM_{10}$ cyclone sampler were analyzed for trace metals and soluble ions and samples on the quartz fiber filter by another sampler were analyzed for OC and EC. Source apportionment study was then performed by using a positive matrix factorization (PMF) receptor model. A total of 6 sources were identified and their contributions were estimated in each monitoring site. Contribution results on Hwasung, Paju, and Icheon sites were as follows: 33%, 27%, and 27% from soil source, 26%, 26%, and 21% from secondary aerosol source, 11%, 11%, and 12% from biomass burning, 12%, 6%, and 5% from sea salt, 7%, 15%, and 19% from industrial related source, and finally 11%, 15%, and 16% from mobile and oil complex source, respectively. This study provides information on the major sources affecting air quality in the receptor sites and thus it will help to manage the ambient air quality in the metropolitan area by establishing reasonable control strategies, especially for the anthropogenic emission sources.
