Aerosol measurements were carried out at Kosan, Cheju Island, Korea for the period from July 20 to August 10, 1994. Total suspended particles were collected by high volume samplers and PM 2.5 particles with gaseous volatile species were collected by a filter pack sampler and their ionic composition are analyzed. The average mass concentration of PM 2.5 particles was comparable to that of PM 3 particles collected during March, 1994 at the same site but the average non sea-salt sulfate concentration was higher that that of PM 3 particles, implying the fraction of anthropogenic air apllutants during this period is higher than that during March, 1994. During the measurement period, two distincitive patterns were observed, high concentrations of mass and water soluble ions were observed between July 20 and August 1 while those during after August 2 were low. Back trajectory analysis results show that air masses arriving at Kosan during the earlier period were mainly from Korea and Japan while those during the later period were from the North Pacific Ocean. It is suggested that the particle ion concentrations during the later period are marine background concentrations at Kosan during the summertime.

In East Asia, the long-range transport of dust storms originating from Mongolia and northern China affects airborne dust loadings over downwind areas in the southern Korean Peninsula. Since 1997, dust loading cases caused by dust storms have been observed using the thresholds of total suspended particles (TSP, ${\geq}250{\mu}g\;m^{-3}\;hr^{-1}$) and particulate matter less than $10{\mu}g$ ($PM_{10}$, ${\geq}190{\mu}g\;m^{-3}\;hr^{-1}$) in the central-southern Korean Peninsula. There were two dust loading cases that exceeded these thresholds in 2016 and three in 2017, which reflects the downward trend of the last twenty-one years in the central-southern Korean Peninsula. Furthermore, five other dust loading cases with mass concentrations lower than the thresholds were observed from 2016 to 2017. In the moderate dust loading cases exceeding the thresholds, a descending motion of cut-off lows below $45^{\circ}N$ and a southward trough at 500 hPa gpm isopleths intensified at the western ridge, and largely extended the surface high-pressure system over southeast China. Airborne dust loadings following pronounced north-westerlies in the forward side of the high-pressure system were transported to the surface of the central-southern Korean Peninsula. However, in slight dust loading cases lower than the thresholds, the restricted descending motion of cut-off lows over $45^{\circ}N$ and the southwestward trough at 500 hPa gpm isopleths intensified the zonal flow over the Korean Peninsula. Surface high- and low-pressure systems moved eastward from the source compared to moderate dust loading cases. Due to the zonal movement of dust storms traversing eastern China, slight dust loading cases were observed with relatively higher ratios of $PM_{2.5}/TSP$ and carbon monoxide (CO) in the central-southern Korean Peninsula.

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.
