Abstract

The fine particulate matter($PM_{10}$) concentrations and contents were measured to check the health and environment influential factors in Pohang Iron and Steel Industrial Complex and its vicinities. In addition, the $PM_{10}$ distribution for each year and season was surveyed using the regional air quality monitoring stations. The measuring on the $PM_{10}$ inside the industrial complex showed $61.3{\pm}12.1{\mu}g/m^3$ for average concentration of $PM_{10}$ which was measured by Dongil Industry and $44.3{\pm}8.1{\mu}g/m^3$ measured by steel manufacturing industry complex management office. Both of them satisfied the environmental air quality standard. The percentage of $SO_4{^2}$, $NO_3{^-}$, $NH_4{^+}$ which are the secondary ions created out of the $PM_{10}$ in Dongil Industry and steel manufacturing industry complex management office was checked and it was revealed that the percentage of ${SO_4}^{2-}$ was high and it is considered that the pollution source related with the sulfides exist at the industrial complex. They were in order of ${SO_4}^{2-}$ > $Cl^-$ > $NO_3{^-}$ > $F^-$ > $NH_4{^+}$ in Dongil Industry and ${SO_4}^{2-}$ > $Cl^-$ > $NO_3{^-}$ > $NH_4{^+}$ > $F^-$ in steel manufacturing industry complex management office.

본 논문은 포항철강공단 및 주변지역의 보건 및 환경영향 인자를 확인하기 위하여 미세먼지($PM_{10}$) 농도와 성분을 측정 및 분석하였다. 또한 지역대기자동측정망 자료를 이용하여 연별, 계절별 $PM_{10}$ 농도분포를 조사하였다. 공단지역 내 $PM_{10}$을 측정한 결과, 동일산업에서 측정된 $PM_{10}$ 평균농도는 $61.3{\pm}12.1{\mu}g/m^3$, 철강공단관리사무소에서 측정된 $PM_{10}$ 평균농도는 $44.3{\pm}8.1{\mu}g/m^3$으로 나타나 대기환경기준을 만족하였다. 공단지역 동일산업과 철강공단관리사무소에서 측정된 $PM_{10}$ 중 이차생성 이온인 ${SO_4}^{2-}$, $NO_3{^-}$, $NH_4{^+}$의 분율을 확인한 결과, ${SO_4}^{2-}$의 분율이 높게 나타났고, 황산염과 관련된 오염원이 철강공단지역에 존재하는 것으로 판단된다. 전체적으로 동일산업 지점에서는 ${SO_4}^{2-}$ > $Cl^-$ > $NO_3{^-}$ > $F^-$ > $NH_4{^+}$ 순으로 나타났고, 철강공단관리사무소 지점에서는 ${SO_4}^{2-}$ > $Cl^-$ > $NO_3{^-}$ > $NH_4{^+}$ > $F^-$ 순으로 나타났다.
