본 연구에서는 울릉도 온실기체 관측장비(CRDS)에서 관측된 CO2와 CH4 농도를 정형화된 QA·QC 처리절차를 통해 온실기체 평균 배경대기 농도값으로 활용하기 위한 정확도를 향상시켰다. QA·QC 처리절차는 총 3단계로 구성되었다. 첫 번째는 관측자료의 시간별 평균값을 구하기 위한 물리적 한계검사, 기후범위 검사 및 1시간 측정 자료수가 50% 이하인 자료는 제외시키는 과정으로 이루어져 있다. 두 번째는 일평균자료 산출을 위한 단계검사, 앞뒤로 같은 값일 경우는 제외, 하루 중 관측횟수가 15회 이상 및 일관측 자료의 표준편차가 일표준편차 평균의 3배 이하인 자료만 허용하는 과정이다. 세 번째는 기후적 특성분석 활용을 위한 Curve-fitting methods를 이용한 FFT 적용단계이다. 이상의 QA·QC 절차에 의한 CO2 및 CH4의 월평균농도 값을 안면도 지구대기감시센터 자료와 일본 료리 관측자료와 비교 분석한 결과 CO2에 있어서는 울릉도 관측자료 누락에 의한 영향이 다소 크게 나타나 안면도 관측값이 배경대기 평균농도 값으로 유효하였고, CH4는 안면도 보다 오히려 울릉도 관측값이 한반도 배경대기 평균농도 값으로 더 적절한 것으로 추정되었다.

The aerosol number concentration have measured with an aerodynamic particle sizer spectrometer(APS) at Gosan site, which is known as background area in Korea, from January to September 2011. The temporal variation and the size distribution of aerosol number concentration have been investigated. The entire averaged aerosol number concentration in the size range 0.25∼32.0 ㎛ is about 252 particles/㎝3. The number concentration in small size ranges(≤ 0.5 ㎛) are very higher than those in large size ranges, such as, the number concentration in range of larger than 6.5 ㎛ are almost zero particles/㎝3. The contributions of the number concentration to PM10 and/or PM2.5 are about 34%, 20.1% and 20.4% in the size range 0.25∼0.28 ㎛, 0.28∼0.30 ㎛ and 0.30∼0.35 ㎛, respectively, however, the contributions are below 1% in range of larger than 0.58 ㎛. The monthly variations in the number concentration in smaller size range(<1.0 ㎛) are evidently different from the variations in range of larger than 1.0 ㎛, but the variations are appeared similar patterns in smaller size range(<1.0 ㎛), also the variations in range of larger than 1.0 ㎛ are similar too. The diurnal variations in the number concentration for smaller particle(<1.0 ㎛) are not much, but the variations for larger particle are very evident. Size-fractioned aerosol number concentrations are dramatically decreased with increased particle size. The monthly differences in the size-fractioned number concentrations for smaller size range(<0.7 ㎛) are not observed, however, the remarkable monthly differences are observed for larger size than 0.7 ㎛.

The present study aims to evaluate the characteristics of atmospheric polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) pollution in roadside and residential areas of two Korean metropolitan cities (Seoul and Incheon) and a background area (Seokmolee). This purpose was established by analyzing temporal and spacial concentration distribution of total and 7 individual PAHs, which were extracted from ambient particulate matters, and by utilizing a multivariate statistical method (principal component analysis, PCA) for the qualitative determination of potential PAH sources. Target PAHs included benzo(a)anthracene (BaA), benzo(a)pyrene (BaP), benzo(b)fluoranthene (BbF), benzo(k)fluoranthene (BkF), chrysene (Chr), dibenzo(a,h)anthracene (DahA), and indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene (IcdP). For all surveyed sites, the concentrations of total PAHs were higher in winter season than in other seasons. However, the concentrations of individual PAHs varied with surveyed sites. In both residential and roadside sites of Seoul and Incheon, BbF revealed the highest atmospheric levels. For all 7 target PAHs, the ambient concentrations were higher in Seoul and Incheon than in a background area (Seokmolee). In both residential and roadside areas, the concentrations of 4 target PAHs (BaA, BbF, BkF, DahA) were higher in Incheon than in Seoul. However, both the residential and roadside Chr concentrations were comparable in Seoul and Incheon. In addition, the residential IcdP concentrations were higher in Incheon than in Seoul, whereas the roadside concentrations were higher in Seoul. The roadside and residential BaP concentrations exhibited the reverse result to the IcdP concentrations. An PCA analysis suggested that atmospheric PAHs in both residential and roadside areas would be due to combined effects of several potential sources such as gasoline- and diesel-fueled vehicles, coal/oil combustion, and waste incineration.
