대기 오염물질인 $SO_2$, $SO{_4}^{-2}$, $NO{_3}^-$, $Cl^-$가 분진(粉塵)이나 강우와 함께 지표에 이르러 토양에 흡수 축적되고 중금속은 생활하수 및 음식 쓰레기, 공장 폐기물, 비료, 살충제 및 살균제, 채광활동 등에서 여러 가지 경로인 물질의 순환과정을 통해서 수권(水圈)이나 토양에 축적된다. 대기오염물질인 $SO{_4}^{-2}$, $NO{_3}^-$, $Cl^-$와 중금속은 식물 필수영양소(Co, Cu, Mo, Mn, Ni, V, Zn)와 인체나 동물에 유독성을 갖는 중금속(Cd, As, Pb, Hg, Cr, Se, Mo, Co) 중에서 Se, Mo, Zn, Cd, Pb, Mn, Cr, Co, V, As, Cu, Ni을 분석대상으로 하였고 이들의 도시에서 오염상태를 알기 위하여 도시지역인 광주 시내에 식재되어 있는 가로수 및 녹지대조성 수종과 대조구로서 광주에서 23km 떨어져 있는 나주시 산포면 산제리 소재 전라남도 산림환경연구소 구내에 생육하고 있는 수종을 대상으로 분석하였다. 분석대상 수종은 은행나무, 상수리나무, 개잎갈나무, 양버즘나무, 아까시나무, 오리나무, 메타세쿼이아, 느티나무, 벗나무, 소나무를 대상으로 하여 뿌리 및 잎 그리고 이들이 생육하고 있는 토양에 함유되어 있는 대기오염물질과 중금속의 함량을 분석 측정한 결과 다음과 같았다. 1. $SO{_4}^{-2}$, $NO{_3}^-$, $Cl^-$가 도시지역의 토양이 시외지역 토양보다 높은 함량을 보이고 있으며 $SO{_4}^{-2}$, $NO{_3}^-$이온은 뿌리보다 잎의 함량이 더 높았다. 2. $SO{_4}^{-2}$, $NO{_3}^-$이온의 흡수량이 은행나무, 아까시나무, 느티나무, 상수리나무, 양버즘나무가 많아 도시 가로수나 녹지대 조성수종으로 적합하다고 생각된다. 3. 토양에 중금속의 함유량은 도시지역이나 시외지역에서 Mn > Zn > V > Cr > Pb > Ni > Cu > Mo> Cd 순이고, Mn, Zn, Pb, V, Cu는 도시토양이 시외지역 토양보다 많은 양이 검출되었는데 이는 각종 오염원으로부터 오염된 결과로 생각된다. 뿌리와 잎에 함유된 중금속의 함유량도 Mn>Zn>Cr>Cu>V>Ni 순으로서 V의 순위가 다를 뿐 토양의 함유량의 크기순서와 같았다. 4. Mn과 Zn은 식물체에 흡수를 서로 방해하는 Antagonism 관계에 있는 것으로 알려져 있으나 본 연구에서는 Antagonism을 인정 할 수 없었다. 5. Sn, Mo, Cd, Pb는 도시지역이나 시외지역 토양에 축적되어 있으나 수목에 흡수되지 않아 뿌리나 잎에서 검출되지 않았다. 또 Se, Co와 As는 토양, 잎, 뿌리에서 검출되지 않았다. 6. 도시지역이나 시외지역에서 조사된 10개 수종 중 중금속의 흡수력이 특별히 월등하다고 인정할만한 수종이 없었다.

Greenbelts were designated by the Korean government in 1971 in 14 large cities to prevent uncontrolled urban expansion. Recently, deregulation of the greenbelt system has resulted in further development, but the ecological role of greenbelts has not been fully considered when decisions about urban management are being made. We examined the ecological roles of the greenbelt system in the Seoul metropolitan area and prepared sustainable management and improvement plans based on our analysis of landscape characteristics using satellite images covering a ${\sim}30$-year period. The loss of forest cover during this period in the greenbelt areas was lower than that in the areas outside and inside of the greenbelt. Fragmentation of forest cover was correlated with the pattern of loss of forest cover. The NDVI of the greenbelt remained steady at 90% of that in outside of the GB for three decades. This suggests that the greenbelt system has performed its primary roles well. However, the remaining green space was not adequate to provide a sink for air pollutants even when the greenbelt area was included. We discuss how the negative effects of urbanization can be reduced through sustainable management and restoration to promote ecological functioning in greenbelts and urban landscapes.

This study was designed to investigate the characteristics of atmospheric concentrations of toxic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in Korea. Target compounds included 1,3-butadiene, aromatics such as BTEX, and a number of carbonyl compounds. In this paper, as the second part of the study, the seasonal and locational concentrations of atmospheric VOCs were evaluated. Sampling was conducted seasonally at seven sampling sites. each of them representing a large urban area (commercial and residential), a small urban area (commercial and residential), an industrial area (a site within the complex and a residential), and a background place in Korea. In general, higher concentrations were found in the petro-chemical industrial site than other sites, while VOCs measured in commercial (heavy -traffic) sites were higher than residential sites. Seasonality of VOCs concentrations were not so much clear as other combustion related pollutants such as sulfur dioxide, indicating that the VOCs are emitted from a variety of sources, not only vehicle exhaust and point sources but fugitive emissions. Except the industrial site, the concentrations of VOCs measured in this study do not reveal any serious pollution status, since the levels did not exceed any existing ambient standards in the U.K. and/or Japan. However, the increasing number of petrol -powered vehicles and the rapid industrialization in Korea may result in the increased levels of VOCs concentrations in many large urban areas in the near future, if there is no appropriate programme implemented for the control of these compounds.

This paper explores not only emerging scientific problems but also the difficulties communicating air quality issues into an increasingly sensitive the public and policy arena. The public understanding and trust in air pollution information and indices may be very different to the notions of validity or accuracy that are important for a scientist. We operate in a world where openness requires us to reveal both the difficulties and disagreements in our understanding of the polluted atmosphere. Yet this can be confusing and increase complexity in situations where clear political and social decisions are required. I am going to examine these issues, starting with questions of what substances we regard as pollutants and the difficulties of getting the correct balance of concern given the broadening the base of chemicals emitted to the environment. There are also questions of exposure particularly in terms of vulnerable populations, who may spend large amounts of time indoors, where air is rarely monitored. In contemporary society there are pollution problems that extend far beyond urban areas and we have to consider regional issues such as windblown dusts, smoke from forest fires along with issues of the emission of green house gases and ozone depleting substances. Finally I will discuss the issues of communicating with a concerned public and sceptical politicians and the troubling interface between technological and sociological control. Such complexity is often missed in a maze of seemingly stronger political and social needs.

The purpose of study was to suggest an investigation of citizen's attitude on harmful insects in house. This study was consisted of four parts, such as basic investigation (housing shape, housing material, the period of house constructed, a cleaning condition), condition of kitchen, condition of living room condition of bathroom. The environmental pollution was increased by the development of industry and urbanization in modern. And also the clean of house has related with air quality such as pollutants and harmful insects etc. Because dwelling shape of urban come to be crowded, shut tightly and high buildings, the air quality of indoor was gradually polluted by several irregular cause. In one of housing pollution, the harmful insects was important any other than indoor air pollution. The problems of kitchen were the odor of food waste, discharge system of sewage and harmful insects. The important issues of living room were mold and construction materials, then important them of bathroom were easing nature and discharge system of sewage. A kind of the harmful insects in house investigated cockroach> mosquito> ant>fly. Finally, it appeared that the control of harmful insects can be applied to the improvement of indoor air pollutant which are difficult to be controlled in house.

Haze phenomena were analyzed to assess the impact of long range transport process on the air quality of Seoul and Busan. We statistically classified haze days observed in both Seoul and Busan into two types of haze cases: stagnant case and long-range transport case, and analyzed the air pollutant levels comparatively for each of the two cases for the period of 2000~2007. The results showed that the long-range transport haze case occurs less frequently with the occurrence frequency of 35.5% than stagnant case with the occurrence frequency of 64.5%. During the observed all haze days, all pollutants have high concentration in comparison with those under other meteorological conditions (Rain, Mist, Dust, Clear, Rain+Mist) except for only $PM_{10}$ of Dust case where its level shows highest among total 6 categorized conditions. The long range transport haze case shows similar levels of $PM_{10}$ and $NO_2$, but higher $SO_2$ and lower $O_3$ compared with stagnant haze cases, suggesting the importance of sulfur chemistry for long range transport haze case and local photochemistry for stagnant haze case. In addition, by employing the NOAA/HYSPLIT-4 backward trajectory model, we subdivided the long range transport haze cases into two different sources: urban anthropogenic high emission areas of central China, and natural emission sources over north China and/or Mongolia. The former long range transport haze case shows higher occurrence (with Seoul 70% and Busan 85%) than the latter haze case (with Seoul 30% and Busan <10%). This is also implying that the long haze phenomena occurred over Korea have been influenced by not only the anthropogenic emissions but also the natural dust emissions. These both emission sources can be good contributors in calculating the source-receptor relationship over Korean atmospheric environment.

One of the most important elements in creating the pleasant residential environment is the wind. For the pleasant residential environment, it is important that the air pollutants are not stagnant but appropriately and swiftly diffused and removed by winds. Especially, the river becomes a main route of wind in the urban core. So, it is necessary to secure the space to circulate the sufficient cool air to this area. But, recently many high-rise apartment complexes have been built along the rivers that have the fine view and pleasant environment. As a result, the cool and fresh air coming from mountains hardly diffuses into the urban core but just flows along the river. Considering the facts above, this study selected types of building layout and kind of land cover as complex or architectural design factors that have an influence on wind environment. Based on the factors, it analyzed change in wind environment according to apartment complex development aiming at the Sinchun area which is Daegu Metropolitan City's main wind corridor. Therefore, when apartment complex development is planned in the future, it can offer basic data for establishing plans for more pleasant complexes. As a result of the analysis, it was shown that the layout type of housing and the building height plan in consideration of wind corridor around the river were pretty effective in increasing the wind speed and circulating the air in the apartment complex. Therefore, if wind corridor is considered when apartment complex development is planed in the future, this study can offer useful information contributing to improve comfort in residential environment in the level of complex building as well as city planning.

도시의 무분별한 개발로 인해 수도권의 주요도시는 환경문제를 겪고 있다. 이 중 대기오염은 도시민들이 신체적 경제적 피해를 받고 살아가게 되는 원인으로 작용하고 있다. 이에 인간활동으로 인해 배출되는 대기오염물질을 도시환경이 어느 정도 수용가능한지 예측하고, 이를 통해 적정 도시개발 수준을 검토할 필요성이 제기되고 있다. 본 연구는 대기오염물질 배출량에 따라 대기오염의 양상이 다르게 나타날 것이란 전제 하에, 경기도 과천시를 대상으로 대기환경기준 하에서 허용가능한 대기오염물질 배출량을 산정하고, 이를 기반으로 적정 인구규모를 도출하였다. 분석 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, IDW 보간법을 통해 일산화탄소(CO), 이산화질소($NO_2$), 아황산가스($SO_2$) 농도를 추정한 결과 과천시 전체적으로는 대기환경기준을 초과하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 대기오염물질 배출량과 농도와의 상관분석 결과 일산화탄소(CO)와 이산화질소($NO_2$) 농도는 이동오염원과 총오염원, 아황산가스($SO_2$) 농도는 이동오염원과 상관관계가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 회귀분석을 통해 대기환경기준 하에서 대기오염물질 배출량을 산정하고 이를 기반으로 지탱가능한 인구수를 산정한 결과, 일산화탄소(CO)의 경우 지탱가능인구수가 실제 인구수보다 높게 나타났고, 이산화질소($NO_2$)와 아황산가스($SO_2$)의 경우는 주거지와 상업시설이 밀집된 도심부와 경계부에서 지탱가능한 인구수를 초과하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해 시도된 환경용량 측정은 대기환경기준 하에서 어느 정도의 인간활동이 적절한 수준인지를 제시해 주었다는데 의의가 있다. 이를 통해 도시환경이 지니는 용량의 범위 내에서 개발행위를 관리함으로써 지속가능한 도시개발이 가능할 것이다.

Nation-wide systematic and comprehensive measurements of air quality criteria species have been made over 340 sites currently in Korea since 1990. Using these data, temporal and spatial trends of $SO_2$, $PM_{10}$, $NO_2$, $O_3$, CO and $O_x(NO_2+O_3)$ were analyzed to characterize and evaluate implementing efficiency of air quality policy and regulations. Due to strict and effective policy to use cleaner fuels in late 1980s and 1990s, the primary pollutants, such as $SO_2$, CO, and $PM_{10}$ decreased sharply by early 2000s in all parts of Korea. After this period, their concentrations declined with much lower rates in most parts of Korea. In addition, isolated but noticeable numbers of places, especially in major ports, newly developing towns and industrial parks, sustained high levels or even showed further degradation. Despite series of emission control strategies were enforced since early 1990s, $NO_2$ concentrations haven't changed much till 2005, due to significant increase in number of automobiles. Nevertheless, we confirmed that the staggering levels of $NO_2$ and $PM_{10}$ improved evidently after 2005, especially in Seoul Metropolitan Area (SMA), where enhanced regulations for $NO_2$ and $PM_{10}$ emissions was imposed to automobiles and large emission sources. However, their decreasing trends were much lessened in recent years again as current air quality improvement strategies has been challenged to revise further. In contrast to these primary species, annual $O_3$, which is secondary product from $NO_2$ and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), has increased consistently with about 0.6 ppbv per year in every urban part of Korea, while yearly average of daily maximum 8-hour $O_3$ in summer season had a much higher rate of 1.2 ppbv per year. Increase of $O_3$ can be explained mainly by reductions of NO emission. Rising background $O_3$ in the Northeast Asia and increasing oxidizing capacity by changing photochemistry were likely causes of observed $O_3$ increase. The future air quality policy should consider more effective ways to lower alarming level of $O_3$ and $PM_{10}$.
