Abstract

This study was to analyze the characteristics of diurnal variation of high concentration, concentration ratio by spatio-temporal wind system (wind speed and wind direction) for high concentration (over the 24 hr environmental standard of , ) in the air quality observation sites (Jangrimdong: Industrial area, Jwadong: Residential area) that were measured for 3 years (2005. 12. 1-2008. 11. 30) in Busan. The observation days of high concentration were 182 at Jangrimdong and 27 at Jwadong. The seasonal diurnal variation of hourly mean of high concentration and of concentration ratio showed a similar pattern that had higher variation at dawn, and night and in the morning than in the afternoon. Durning daytime in summer at Jwadong, the concentration ratio increased because a secondary particulate matter, which was created by photochemical reaction, decreased the coarse particles of more than the fine particles of concentrations in ocean condition. We did an analysis of spatio-temporal wind system (wind speed range and wind direction) in each time zone. The result showed that high concentration at Jangrimdong occurred due to the congestion of pollutants emissions from the industrial complex in Jangrimdong area and the transportation of pollutants from places nearby Jangrimdong. It also showed that high concentration occurred at Jwadong because of a number of local residential and commercial activities that caused the congestion of pollutants.
