본 연구에서는 복사전달모델을 통하여 9.7μm오존 흡수대에 미치는 오존 및 열적(i.e., 지표 온도) 효과를 각각 조사하였다. 또한 오존주의보가 수도권 지역(37.2-37.7 N, 125.7-127.2 E)에 발령되었던 2003년 4일에 대한 위성(MODIS Aqua; ECT 13:30) 및 지상 오존(79개 관측소)의 동시 관측 자료를 기초로 지상 오존에 대한 원격탐사 방법을 제시하였다. 여기서 구름 효과를 제거하고 오존 연직 분포를 분석하기 위하여 종관기상 자료도 사용하였다. 주어진 오존 농도(327~391 DU)에 대하여 산출된 9.6μm에서의 상향 복사휘도는 표면온도 Ts = 290 K에서 5.52~5.78Wm-2sr-1, 그리고 Ts = 325 K에서는 9.00~9,57Wm-2sr-1이었다. 따라서 오존 흡수 세기(i.e., 11μm와 9.7μm 밝기온도 간의 차; T11-9.7)를 이용한 오존 원격탐사 시에 세기 변화에 대한 순수한 오존 효과는0.26Wm-2sr-1/64 DU, 그리고 열적 효과는 0.31Wm-2sr-1/35 K이었다. 본 연구에서는 흡수 세기와 지상 관측 간에 유의적인 상관을 보이는 경우에 대하여 적외선 위성 관측에서 지상 오존을 원격탐사하는 경험식을 유도하였다. 유도된 지상 오존 농도와 관측값과의 상관은 49~63%로 유의수준 1%에서 유의미하였다. 경험식을 개선하기 위하여는 지상 오존 대신에 대류권 오존 자료를 사용하고, 성층권 오존 변화도 고려하는 후속 연구가 요구된다.

Recently, concern about Sick House Syndrome (SHS) has been increased in Korea. And it is suspected that formaldehyde (HCHO) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are major factors for SHS. This study was surveyed the indoor air quality in new apartments in Korea. The HCHO and VOCs were measured at 90 sites and analysed by HPLC-UV and GC/MS, respectively. The range of HCHO concentrations at 90 sites were 9.39∼248.78㎍/㎥ and the mean value 105.41㎍/㎥ and the concentrations of HCHO at 42 sites (46.7%) exceeded the indoor air quality guideline (100㎍/㎥) in Japan. Among the 4 VOCs, toluene concentrations were the highest and the mean value 127.33㎍/㎥ and that concentrations at 12 sites (13.8%) were exceeded the indoor air quality guideline (260㎍/㎥) in Japan. There was a tendency which the longer the movement and measurement period is, the more the pollutants concentration is decreased. HCHO and VOCs concentrations of domestic results was similar to Japan's survey results in 2000.

The Government had devised legislation of Special Act and drew up guidelines for improving air quality in Seoul Metropolitan area. In 2007 local government of Seoul, Incheon and Gyeonggi conducted the results of application policy by reduced air pollutants emission for the first time. Although there was reduction of air pollutant emission in each local government, it was ineffective as expected using air pollution monitoring database. Therefore we worked out a way to prepare modeling input data using the results of enforcement plan. And we simulated surface NO_2 and PM10 before and after decrease in air pollutants emission and examine reduction effects of air pollution according to enforcement regulation except other influence, by using MM5-SMOKE-CMAQ system. Each local government calculated the amount of emission reduction under application policy, and we developed to prepare input data so as to apply to SMOKE system using emission reduction of enforcement plan. Distribution factor of emission reduction were classified into detailed source and fuel codes using code mapping method in order to allocate the decreased emission. The code mapping method also included a way to allocate spatial distribution by CAPSS distribution. According to predicted result using the reduction of NOx emission, NO_2 concentration was decreased from 19.1 ppb to 18.0 ppb in Seoul. In Gyeonggi and Incheon NO_2 concentrations were down to 0.65 ppb and 0.68 ppb after application of enforcement plan. PM10 concentration was reduced from 18.2 ㎍/㎥ to 17.5 ㎍/㎥ in Seoul. In Gyeonggi PM10 concentration was down to 0.51 ㎍/㎥ and in Incheon PM10 concentration was decreased about 0.47 ㎍/㎥ which was the lower concentration than any other cities.

The objectives of this study were to measure ambient total gaseous mercury (TGM) concentrations in Seoul, to analyze the characteristics of TGM concentration, and to identify of possible source areas for TGM using back-trajectory based hybrid receptor models like PSCF (Potential Source Contribution Function) and RTWC (Residence Time Weighted Concentration). Ambient TGM concentrations were measured at the roof of Graduate School of Public Health building in Seoul for a period of January to October 2004. Average TGM concentration was 3.43±1.17 ng/㎥. TGM had no notable pattern according to season and meteorological phenomena such as rainfall, Asian dust, relative humidity and so on. Hybrid receptor models incorporating backward trajectories including potential source contribution function (PSCF) and residence time weighted concentration (RTWC) were performed to identify source areas of TGM. Before hybrid receptor models were applied for TGM, we analysed sensitivities of starting height for HYSPLIT model and critical value for PSCF. According to result of sensitivity analysis, trajectories were calculated an arrival height of 1000 m was used at the receptor location and PSCF was applied using average concentration as criterion value for TGM. Using PSCF and RTWC, central and eastern Chinese industrial areas and the west coast of Korea were determined as important source areas. Statistical analysis between TGM and GEIA grided emission bolsters the evidence that these models could be effective tools to identify possible source area and source contribution.

This study aims to identify the impacts of air quality in the Korean Peninsula according to the China's environmental policies in preparation of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. The measurement of emission variations in China, aircraft measurement, and modelling were carried out. The reduction measures in Beijing, China and its emission changes resulted in 30~65% in decrease out of the total emissions within the Beijing region, whereas when it comes to the whole nation of China, the reduction rate was about 4~9%. Comparing the concentration of the air pollutants in Seoul and Ganghwa in August 2008 during around the period of Beijing Olympic Games with one in 2004~2007 showed that the SO2 concentrations in the past was above 5ppb, while the concentration in the 2008 olympic period was 4ppb and below. The NOx at the Seokmori site in Ganghwa tended to be lower in concentration in 2008 than in between 2004~2007. As for O3 and PM2.5, the concentration tended to be rather low since August 11. The air current track that showed during the period of aircraft measurement presented to be flowed into Korea through the Northeast part of China and the coast of Bohai Bay, while the concentrations of SO2, NOx, and O3 over the west sea on August 20 and 24 were 0.54 (0.28ppb), 0.86 (1.84ppb), and 54.0 (41.5ppb) respectively, similar or lower than the ones measured in the past in the similar current patterns. The modelling result showed similar patterns to the data of aircraft measurement, in particular in SO2. Overall, the reduction measures in Beijing, China affected directly and indirectly the air quality in the Korean peninsular, but the impact was not significant as it was momentary and limited to the intended area.

Aircraft Measurements of gaseous pollutants(SO2, NOx and O3) in the Yellow Sea area, were carried out on 1997-2007. Main measurement site in 124°-127°E, 35°-37°N (in the Yellow Sea), have been done along the paths classified vertically and zonally. To understand how the air stream affects Long-range transboundary pollutants in Northease Asia (LTP), the tracks of pollutants in northeast Asia have been analyzed by dividing into 6 different regions(regions I-V and L). Compared with Korea's local sources and western north Pacific influenced by the Yellow Sea, when the air stream from region Ⅱ is dominant, the SO2 concentrations are 3-6times higher. In region Ⅱ and Ⅲ, SO2 concentrations are represented highest at 25.0 and 14.7 ppb, respectively. However, in other regions, SO2 concentration was recorderd the highest at 1.1-3.8 ppb, which is 7-15% higher then the highest one over the region Ⅱ and Ⅲ. During 1997-2007, the mean amount of incoming pollutants is 0.162 ton/km·hr exceeding about 5-times mean amount of outgoing pollutants over the West Sea. During the observed period, the amount of incoming and outgoing SO2 over the Yellow Sea is the highest in winter, at 0.224 ton/(km·hr) and 0.120 ton/(km·hr), respectively.
