We report the high concentration episodes for PM$_{10}$, SO$_2$, NO$_2$, and $O_3$ in many urban areas Korea during 2002. The high concentration episodes are identified based on the National Ambient Air Quality Standards and the observations obtained from the Regional Air Monitoring Network composed of approximately 160 air pollution monitoring stations located in a number of major or big cities in South Korea including Seoul, Pusan, Daegu, and Incheon cities. The results show that the twenty cases of high concentration episodes in 2002 consists of both ozone warning episodes (6 cases) and high PM$_{10}$ concentration cases (14 cases), and one half of the latter are found to occur in association with the Yellow Sand (Asian Dust) phenomena. The most outstanding characteristics of the reported episodes are the excessively high levels of maximum PM$_{10}$ concentrations during the Yellow Sand period (i.e., exceeding 3,000$\mu\textrm{g}$/㎥ in April, 2002) and their variable occurrence frequencies across seasons. The high ozone concentration episode days are mainly resulting from both the high photochemical reactions and poor ventilations. The high PM$_{10}$ concentration days during non Yellow Sand periods, however, mostly occurred under the influence of synoptic meteorological conditions such as stagnant or slowly passing high pressure centers, and consequently prevailing weak wind speeds over the Korean peninsula. The overall results of our study thus suggest the importance of both synoptic and local meteorological factors for high concentration levels in the major and/or big cities in Korea.n Korea.

A two-dimensional photochemical transport model (2D PTM) is simulated to describe the transport and chemical reaction of ozone related to aerosols in the troposphere and stratosphere. The vertical profiles and total amounts of ozone, which are advected by both residual Eulerian circulation and the adiabatic circulation under certain circumstance, have been compared with the observation data such as ozonesondes, Brewer spectrometer, the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS), and the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrophotometer (TOMS). As a result, we find that the observed distribution of ozone Is adequately reproduced in the model at middle and high latitude in the Northern Hemisphere as well as at Phang ($36^{\circ}\;02'N,\;129^{\circ}\;23'E$) in South Korea. In particular, the 2D PTM is well simulated in the ozone decrease due to the Pinatubo volcanic eruption in 1991. However, ozone mixing ratio are more underestimated than those of UARS and ozonesondes, because are very sensitive to the latitude of transport across the tropopause associated with both Rummukainen errors and off-line model. Relative mean bias errors and relative root mean square errors of ozone calculations using the 2D PTM are shown within${\pm}10%$, respectively.

The presences of clouds significantly influence the accuracy of ozone retrievals from satellite measurements. This study focuses on the influence of clouds on Ozone Monitoring instrument (OMI) ozone profile retrieval based on an optimal estimation. There are two operational OMI cloud products; OMCLDO2, based on absorption in $O_2-O_2$ at 477 nm, and OMCLDRR, based on filling in Fraunhofer lines by rotational Raman scattering (RRS) at 350 nm. Firstly, we characterize differences between $O_2-O_2$ and RRS effective cloud pressures using MODIS cloud optical thickness (COT), and then compare ozone profile retrievals with different cloud input data. $O_2-O_2$ cloud pressures are significantly smaller than RRS by ~200 hPa in thin clouds, which corresponds to either low COT or cloud fraction (CF). On the other hand, the effect of Optical centroid pressure (OCP) on ozone retrievals becomes significant at high CF. Tropospheric ozone retrievals could differ by up to ${\pm}10$ DU with the different cloud inputs. The layer column ozone below 300 hPa shows the cloud-induced ozone retrieval error of more than 20%. Finally, OMI total ozone is validated with respect to Brewer ground-based total ozone. A better agreement is observed when $O_2-O_2$ cloud data are used in OMI ozone profile retrieval algorithm. This is distinctly observed at low OCP and high CF.

금년 1월 1일부터 수도권 대기환경개선에 관한 특별법이 시행되었다. 특별법의 시행으로 정부는 현재 각각 $76{\mu}g/m^3$과 36ppb 수준인 $PM_{10}$과 $NO_2$의 연평균을 10년 내 $40{\mu}g/m^3$과 20ppb까지 낮출 것을 목표하고 있다. 특별법에서는 주로 $PM_{10}$과 $NO_2$와 같은 1차 오염물질만을 언급하고 있으나 정부는 이들의 농도가 낮아짐으로써 고농도 오존과 시정 장애도 개선될 것을 기대하고 있다. 그러나 중국으로부터 오염물질 유입과 광화학반응에 의한 2차 생성으로 인하여 국지 배출 저감에 의한 $PM_{10}$의 농도 감소 효과는 크지 않을 수 있다. 실제 고농도 오존이 빈번한 오존 시즌 동안 수도권 $PM_{10}$의 대부분은 지역규모의 2차 생성 비중이 높은 $PM_{2.5}$이다. 뿐만 아니라 많은 모델링 결과들이 수도권의 상당한 지역에서, $NO_x$를 줄일 경우 오존 농도가 상승하는 소위 '$NO_x$ 불이익' 현상이 나타날 수 있음을 지적하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 수도권의 오염 현황을 살펴보고, 장거리 이동 효과와 광화학 오염 특성 등 이슈와 함께, 특별법의 성공적 이행에 필요한 과제들에 대하여 논의하였다.

오존/활성탄 공정을 이용하여 페놀을 처리 할 경우, 활성탄에 의해 나타나는 촉매효과에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 오존 단독공정에 활성탄을 추가할 경우, 활성탄 투입량이 증가할수록 용존 오존 및 페놀의 분해효율이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 활성탄에 의해서 용존 오존이 분해되어 생성된 수산화 라디칼이 페놀 제거에 영향을 미쳤으며, 본 연구에서는 활성탄의 촉매효과([$\Delta$phenol] / $[{\Delta}O_{3}]_{AC}$)로 나타내었다. 활성탄 10~40 g/L 투입 시, 모든 활성탄의 최대 촉매효과 값은 $2.0\;{\pm}\;0.1$로 나타났지만, 10 g/L와 20 g/L를 투입한 경우, 40 min 경과 후 최대 촉매효과에 근접한 반면, 활성탄 30 g/L와 40 g/L를 투입한 경우, 반응 20 min 경과 후 최대 촉매효과에 도달하였다. 또한 Total Organic Carbon (TOC, 총유기탄소)의 제거율은 오존 단독공정에서 0.23으로 나타났으며, 오존/활성탄 공정에서는 0.63으로 나타났다.

To optimize the shape of the electrostatic precipitator for the removal of particulate matter in subway environments, the wind-tunnel experiments were carried out to characterize collection efficiency and ozone emission rate. As a standardized parameter, power consumption divided by the square of flow velocity, was increased, the $PM_{10}$ collection efficiency increased. If the standardized parameter is higher than 1.0 due to high power consumption or low flow velocity, increase in thickness of electrodes from 1 to 2 mm, or increase in distance of collection plates from 5 to 10 cm did not change the $PM_{10}$ collection efficiency much. Increase in thickness of high-voltage electrodes, however, can cause decrease in $PM_{10}$ collection efficiency by 28% for low power consumption and high flow velocity. The ozone emission rate decreased as distance of collection plates became wider, because the ozone emission rate per unit channel was constant, and the number of collection channels decreased as the distance of collection plates increased. When the distance of collection plates was narrow, the ozone emission rate increased with the increase of the thickness of electrodes, but the difference was negligible when the distance of collection plates was wide. It was found that the electrostatic precipitator having a thin high-voltage electrodes and a narrow distance of collection plates is advantageous. However, to increase the thickness of high-voltage electrodes, or to increase the distance of collection plates is needed, it is necessary to increase the applied voltage or reduce the flow rate to compensate reduction of the collection efficiency.

Ozone absorbs ultraviolet light which is harmful to life. However, the recent increase of ambient ozone level due to climate change is becoming the cause of stimulating human eyes, affecting respiratory system, and damaging crops. In this paper, a study was conducted at the Taehwa Research Forest (TRF) of Seoul National University with the purpose of analyzing the characteristics of forest air chemistry based on the measurement of BVOCs emitted from forests and investigating the correlation of BVOCs with ozone generation. The results showed that levels of isoprene and MVK (Methyl Vinyl Keton)+MACR (Methacrolein) were high in summer, but level of monoterpene was high in spring. Ozone level was high from the middle of May to the middle of June, which was before the rainy season. Comparison of the correlation between ozone and isoprene during the measurement period at the TRF showing limited NOx showed that the $R^2$ was correlated with a low value of about 0.4. However, when the isoprene was actively produced from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM, correlation analysis showed that $R^2$ was about 0.9, while monoterpene started to increase in the afternoon, and decreased level of ozone at night. Correlation analysis showed negative correlation. Forests have two characteristics: not only the formation of ozone but also the decomposition of ozone.

We examined diurnal and seasonal variations of ozone ($O_3$) concentrations and its relation to meteorological parameters observed at the Ieodo Ocean Research Station ($32.07^{\circ}N$, $125.10^{\circ}E$, 36 m above sea level) during June 2003 and May 2005. Over the 2-year period, the mean ozone concentration was $49.5{\pm}15.5\;ppbv$. Ozone concentrations show great variability with a monthly mean up to 68.2 ppbv in May 2005 and seasonal variations with being highest in spring and fall, and lowest in summer. However, the amplitude of diurnal variation was less than ${\sim}4\;ppbv$ with a maximum at $3{\sim}4\;p.m.$ and minimum at $7{\sim}8\;a.m.$ HYSPLIT backward air trajectory indicated that the air masses with higher ozone came from the north or northwest and those with lower ozone arrived mainly via southerly or southeasterly. Ozone distributions at Ieodo Ocean Research Station were observed to be significantly impacted by long-range transport and regional scale air circulation.
