대기 중의 부유분진 (suspended particulate matters)은 대기오염을 측정하는 일반지표 중의 한 항목으로, 보통 대기의 단위부피당 질량으로 그 오염정도를 판단하고 있다. 대기 중 부유분진은 입경별 농도분포에 따라 통해 오염원의 특성을 파악할 수 있고, 여러 오염원에서 배출되어지는 여러 화학물질들로 구성되어 있기 때문에 인체 위해성 측면에서 많은 관심의 대상이 되어 왔다. 또한 다환방향족탄화수소 (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons, PAHs)는 환경에 존재하는 중요한 발암물질이자 돌연변이 유도체이다.(중략)

The suspended particulate matters had been collected on quartz fiber fiters by a cascade impactor having 9 size stages for 4 years (Sep. 1991 to Dec. 1995) in Kyung Hee University-Suwon Campus. Membrane filters were used to collected the particulate matters on each stage. The weight concentration on each stage was obtained by a microbalance and further chemical element levels were determined by an x-ray fluorescence system. Based on these chemical information, our study focused on applying the target transformation factor analysis (TTFA), a receptor model, to identify aerosol sources and to apportion quantitatively their mass contribution. There are total of 63 ambient data sets. Each data set consists of the 8 size-ranged subdata sets characterized by 16 elemental variables. By the results, four to five sources were extracted from each size range and some sources reappeared in other size ranges. Then total of 8 source profiles were statistically generated from all the ranges, such as oil burning source, soil source, field burning source, gasoline related source, coal burning source, marine source, glass related source, and unknown sources. Apportioning aerosol mass to each source was intensively examined by investigating emission inventories near the study area. The results showed that soil particle source was the most significant contributor. However, coal and oil burning sources were the major anthropogenic ones. The study finally proposed some air quality control strategies to achieve the clean air quality in Suwon area.

Atmospheric concentrations of acidic pollutant were measured by the 4 stage filter pak method at Chunchon and by the 3 stage filter pack method at Seoul and Anmyon-do from January to December 1998. The sample was collected for 24 hours on every Wednesday. Concentrations of particulate matters were highest at Anmyon-do. The particulate concentration was much higher during the warm season than other seasons. While the particulate concentration was higher during the warm season, the concentration of gaseous matter was higher in winter. Dry deposition flux was calculated by using reported deposition velocities and concentration of pollutants measured in this study. The dry deposition velocities used in this study for SO$_2$, SO$_{4}^{2}$, HNO$_3$,NO$_{3}^{-}$ and NH$_3$ were 0.29, 0.15, 2.08( 2.13 only for Anmyon-do), 0.20 and 1.00cm/sec, respectively. At Chunchon, annual sulfur flux originated from dry deposition was 384 kg/$textrm{km}^2$, and the flux from wet deposition was 782kg/$textrm{km}^2$. Dry deposition of sulfur was 33% of total sulfur deposition. The annual nitrogen flux originated from dry deposition was 1,892kg/$textrm{km}^2$. And the flux from wet deposition was 1,066kg/$textrm{km}^2$. Dry deposition of nitrogen was 64% of total nitrogen deposition. Dry deposition as well as wet deposition have to be considerd in the study on acidification of environment such as soil or watershed.

The purpose of this study is to estimate of emission factors of the air pollutants for the melting furnaces for the iron and steel industry. The result of this study is able to obtaine the emission factor of particulate matters (PM), sulfur dioxide. nitrogen oxides for melting furnace. The emission factors of each pollutants were as follows : - the emission factor varied between 6.13E-03~6.12E-01 kg/ton for PM -1.59E-01~2.45E+00kg/ton for $SO_2$ - 6.82E-02~6.88E-01 kg/ton for NOx, respectively. Analysis of the differences in the emission factors of ours and U.S. EPA's yielded the following results for the Wilcoxon method : p>0.05. The statistical analysis showed no differences in the our emission factors and U.S. EPA's

Atmospheric particulate matters (A. P. M. ) were collected on quartz-fiber filters from March 1985 to May 1986, using the Andersen high-volume air sampler and contents of six heavy metals (Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, Pb Ni) in the A. P. M. were determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. These heavy metals were divided into the three groups with respect to their particle size distribution. Fe and Mn were mainly associated with coarse particles (diameter > 2.0 $\mu$m), but Pb and Ni were related fine particles (diameter < 2.0 $\mu$m). Cu and Zn had mized size distributions in both of them. In the seasonal variation of heavy metals, the contents of Fe and Mn in spring and Ni and Pb in winter were higher than any other season. There were high mutual correlation between Fe and Mn coarse particles, and between Pb and Ni in fine particles.

The characteristics of suspended particulate matters(dust) in Seoul had been studied. The effects of various environmental factors, such as passengers, motor vehicles, wind velocity, wind direction, temperature and humidity were examined during the study period. It was shown that the dust emission occurred through the heating was the major source, and the contribution of passengers and motor vehicles was relatively negligible during the night. It was also revealed that the number concentration between $0.5{\mu}m$ and $2.0{\mu}m$ was increased due to the attachment among the dusts and mists by the increased humidity during the night. Considering the fact that the particles larger than $2{\mu}m$ take the most part of weight concentration, it was suggested that the PM-10 method which considered respirable particle as a weighting factor should be adapted in the evaluation air quality.

The purpose of the study was to identify sources of particulate matters statistically and to estimate the mass contribution quantitatively in the Pusan metropolitan area. Then, the study has used the TTFA (target transformation factor analysis) model, a receptor model, to apportion aerosol mass with the raw data of 106 ambient samples characterized by 24 heavy metal variables. The TTFA was extensively applied to generate source profiles and their aerosol mass contributions. Though a couple of sources were not identified, four to seven sources were able to be extracted at 3 different sites (Jang Rim-Dong, Kwang Bok-Dong, and Kwang An-Dong) in Pusan area and finally mass conributions could be calculated.

A total of 318 particulate sample sets consisting of both fine PM(FPM : dp$\leq$2.5 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) and coarse PM(CPM : 2.5${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) was collected by a dichotomous sampler in Suwon area from December 1996 to November 1997. The concentration of seven inorganic elements such as pb. Cr, Cd, Cu, Zn Fe and Na were determined from each sample using an AAS. The purpose of the study was to extensively investigate environmental behaviors of particulate matters and to provide air quality management schemes applying various statistical approaches. The mean concentrations of PM10 Results of correlation analyses indicated the existence of strong correlations among inorganic elements PM10 FPM CPM and various meterological variables. Our study also examined the degree of uncertainties whether the particular elements can be assorted into the accumulation mode or the coarse mode in their size distribution. Furthermore the analysis of the pollution rose showed graphically the direction of potential sources of particulate matters. According to statistical analyses of our data quantitative differences appeared in the pollution patterns between weekdays and weekends.
