Characteristics of the Distribution of High Ambient Air Pollutants with Sources and Weather Condition in Ulsan

Five sampling sites were selected to investigate the distribution characteristics of air pollutants with pollution sources and weather conditions in Ulsan. concentrations and weather conditions with time were analyzed by using several statistical methods. Also, the distribution characteristics of ambient air quality were estimated by pollution-rose and multi-regression analysis. As a result of the analysis, concentrations were high in winter season, whereas concentrations were high in summer season. This concentration distribution was caused by the unfavorable geographical location, which the residential area was located at the downwind direction to industrial area. From the pollution-rose, we confirmed that each pollutant influenced the downwind residential areas because of seasonal wind direction. concentration has shown positive correlation of for and temperature, while concentration has shown negative correlation. Also, and CO concentrations, pollutants generated by combustion, have shown positive correlation, while concentration and temperature have shown negative correlation. Therefore, it could be suggested that a seasonal air quality policy and a new guideline of air quality was necessary in each season with wind directions to reduce the air pollution level in Ulsan.
