Abstract

A series of experiments was conducted to test the compatibilities of two different techniques to determine elemental concentrations by INAA and ICP-MS based on both the NIST SRM 2783(air particulate on filter media) and the field samples for PM10. For NIST SRM the results of INAA were more accurate and precise for all target elements than those of ICP-MS. The comparative data set for PM10 samples collected in an industrial complex area showed that mean of concentration ratio, derived for the two different methods such as C(INNA/ICP-MS), were distinguished from each other: (1) Ba, Cu, K Mg, Na, and Sb: $0.9{\sim}1.1$; (2) Al, Co, Fe, and Mn: $0.8{\sim}1.2$; and (3) Se, Ti, and Zn: >1.3. When the results obtained from both methods were evaluated in terms of regression analysis, paired t-test, and Wilcoxon signed-rank test, the results of many elements determined from PM10 samples(such as Al, Ba, Co, Cu, Fe, K, Mn, Nd, and Sb) exhibited a fairly good agreement between the two methods, despite a wide range of variation.

본 연구는 INAA와 ICP-MS의 두 가지 분석방법을 NIST SRM 2783과 실제의 대기입자 시료에 동시에 적용하고 그 결과를 비교하고자 하였다. NIST SRM 2783을 INAA와 ICP-MS로 분석하여 비교한 결과, INAA의 분석결과가 ICP-MS보다 정확하고 정밀한 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 공단지역에서 채취한 PM10 시료를 대상으로 역시 두 방법으로 분석하여 비교한 결과, 농도비의 평균이 Ba, Cu, K, Mg, Na, Sb는 $0.9{\sim}1.1$, Al, Co, Fe, Mn는 $0.8{\sim}1.2$, Se, Ti, Zn는 1.3 이상으로 나타났다. PM10 시료의 분석 대상 원소가 매우 넓은 농도범위를 보임에도 불구하고 회귀분석 및 paired t-test와 Wilcoxon signed-rank test 결과, 13종의 미량원소 중 Al, Ba, Co, Cu, Fe, K, Mn, Na, Sb는 두 방법 간의 분석결과가 잘 일치하는 것으로 나타났다.
