In this study, eight episode days of high-concentration PM10 occurrences in the Gimhae region between 2006 and 2011 were analyzed. Most of them appeared in winter and the highest concentration was observed around 12 LST. Furthermore, the wind direction, wind velocity, and temperature elements were compared with observed values to verify the WRF numerical simulation results used in this study, and they simulated well in accordance with the trend of the observed values. The wind was generally weak in the high-concentration episode days that were chosen through surface weather chart and the numerical simulation results for wind field, and the air pollutants were congested due to the effects of the resulting local winds, thereby causing a high concentration of air pollutants. Furthermore, the HYSPLIT model was performed with the WRF numerical simulation results as input data. As a result, they originated from China and flowed into Gimhae in all eight days, and the lowest concentration appeared on the days when recirculation occurred.

This study was conducted to examine the monthly and seasonal variation of SO2, TSP, O3 concentration in Dongsamdong, Pusan coastal area. And the characteristics of air pollution of this area was compared to Kwangbokdong in Pusan and Taehadong in Ullungdo. Monthly mean concentration of SO2 and TSP showed lower than Kwangbokdong, O3 was higher than Kwangbokdong. In case of SO2, seasonal variation of Dongsamdong was remarkabler than Kwangbokdong and the concentration difference of early morning and daytime was higher than Kwangbokdong, Taehadong showed very lower concentration as background area. In case of TSP, Dongsamdong was lower concentration and smaller diurnal change than Kwangbokdong, Taehadong showed very lower concentration as background area. In case of O3, Dongsamdong was l0ppb higher than Kwangbokdong at daytime maximum concentration, diurnal change of concentration was higher, too. In case of frequency distribution of concentration, SO2 and TSP at Dongsamdong showed higher frequency in low concentration class and O3 showed in high concentration class as compared with Kwangbokdong.

Air pollution characteristics and the influence of sea breeze on air pollution concentration were studied using the data measured at 7 air quality continuous monitoring stations in Pusan, 1993. Maximum air pollution concentration in Pusan was Gamjeondong for SO_2, Sinpyeongdong for TSP, Daeyeondong for O_3, Kwangbokdong for NO_2, Beomcheondong for CO and all substances were under annual ambient air quality standards. Increased rate of concentration for sea breeze was 24.4% for SO_2, 31.5% for TSP, 80% for O_3, 26.7% for NO_2, 15.7% for CO. Frequencies distribution of SO_2, TSP, O_3, NO_2 and CO concentration for sea breeze moved toward high concentration class.
