Fine particulate matter(PM2.5) which is one of the major air pollutants, is emitted
by diverse natural and anthropogenic sources and affects not only human health but
also the living environment. PM2.5 is composed of varied constituents such as water-
soluble ions, heavy metals, elemental carbon, and organic carbon. Organic matter
contains various organic compounds which have different emission characteristics
depend on each emission source. Thus, identifying the emission characteristic is
possible by characterizing the concentration of various organic compounds. The aim
of this study is to figure out organic speciation of PM2.5 and to identify major
emission sources by using diverse parameters and chemical species in PM2.5
collected from June 2018 to May 2019 in Seoul, Korea. The average PM2.5 mass
concentration during the study period was 26.4 ± 21.5 ㎍/m3. During the sampling
period, winter (36.9 ± 15.6 ㎍/m3) and spring (35.5 ± 34.3 ㎍/m3) showed higher

value than fall (17.5 ± 11.9 ㎍/m3) and summer (17.5 ± 10.1 ㎍/m3) relatively.
Among the organic compounds such as PAHs, the total average concentration of
sugars and glyceride (71.2±69.4 ng/m3) showed the highest concentration
throughout the year. Despite the low concentration of PAHs, the possible emission
sources were identified by using PAHs diagnostic ratio; Flt/(Flt+Pyr) against
ANT/(ANT+PHE). As a result, it is assumed that Seoul is Seoul is mostly influenced
by pyrogenic sources. n-Alkanes showed the seasonal patterns well in this study
which are high concentration in winter and low concentration in summer. According
to the n-alkanes parameters, Cmax, CPI and WNA, the sampling area was influenced
by various sources, especially vegetative detritus. The Principal component analysis
(PCA) was performed to identify the possible emission sources in the sampling area.
Total 4 factors were identified to possible emission sources; biomass burning
(44.381 %), secondary organic aerosols (SOAs) (19.745 %), vehicle emission
(6.873 %), biogenic secondary organic aerosols (5.935 %). According to the result
of PCA, the sampling region, Gwanak district, were possibly influenced by PM2.5
originated from both biomass burning and SOAs.

1. Introduction
Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) which is well-known as one of the major air
pollutants is defined as a mixture of solid or liquid matter found in the atmosphere,
with diameters that are less than 2.5 ㎛. PM2.5 is emitted by diverse natural and
anthropogenic sources such as volcanic eruption, fossil fuels, biomass burning and
mobile sources and it affects not only human health but also the living environment.
PM2.5 is classified as carcinogenic pollutants to humans (WHO, 2013) and it is able
to triggered adverse health effects related to cardiovascular and respiratory diseases
(Dominici et al., 2006). It also impacts on the reduced visibility (Tao et al., 2009) as
well as climate change (Tai, Mickley, & Jacob, 2010).
PM2.5 is composed of varied constituents such as water-soluble ions, heavy
metals, elemental carbon (EC) and organic carbon (OC). Organic matter is a major
component of PM2.5 and accounts for 10~80 % of its total mass (Baltensperger &
Prévôt, 2008). It contains over thousands individual organic compounds which have
unique emission characteristics depend on its emission sources (Gonçalves et al.,
2011; Zheng, Fang, Wang, & To, 2000) . Therefore, it is necessary to understand the
characteristics of organic species in order to identify its emission sources.
Since NRC report (1998) showed the human health risk increases due to the
exposure of particulate matter, many studies have been reported that the organic
compounds such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in PM2.5 are highly
associated with the increase of human health risk (Kim, Jahan, Kabir, & Brown, 2013;
Oh, Kim, Park, Lee, & Chung, 2011). In order to identify the relationship between
organic species and human health risks, varied studies analyzing individual organic
![Page 11: Disclaimer - Seoul National Universitys-space.snu.ac.kr/bitstream/10371/166827/1/000000161050.pdfsoluble ions, heavy metals, elemental carbon, and organic carbon. Organic matter contains](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022071101/5fd9c961b5f2e60ade09982d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
2
compounds have been conducted (Callén, Iturmendi, & López, 2014).
However, those organic compounds exist in trace levels in the atmosphere and
only 10~30 % of the total particulate organic compound mass can be quantified as
individual organic species. Despite those difficulties, qualitative and quantitative
studies over 100 individual compounds have been conducted overseas (Dutton,
Williams, Garcia, Vedal, & Hannigan, 2009; Fraser, Yue, Tropp, Kohl, & Chow, 2002;
Schauer & Cass, 2000; Wang et al., 2016; Zheng et al., 2005), but only some studies
have been performed in Korea (Choi, Heo, Ban, Yi, & Zoh, 2012; Park et al., 2006).
Thus, the objectives of this study are (1) to characterize the concentration of organic
compounds with seasonal variations, (2) to identify major emission sources around
the sampling site by using various diagnostic parameters and statistical model which
referred as Principal component analysis (PCA), and (3) to establish a qualitative
and quantitative database suitable for Korea.

2. Materials and Methods
2.1. Sample collection and analysis
2.1.1. Sampling site
Ambient PM2.5 samples were collected on the rooftop of Graduate School of
Public Health Building at Seoul National University (37.581°N, 127.001°E, 21m
above ground level) in Seoul, Korea. The Seoul National University is situated on
the mountainside referred to as Gwanak Mountain and surrounded by multiple roads.
Not only residential and commercial districts are located near the region, but also
industrial complex located in the southwest side influences sampling region,
Gwanak district. The sampling site is affected by various local sources as well as
long range transported pollutants by westerlies.

2.1.2. Sampling method
PM2.5 samples (n=63) for PM2.5 mass concentration, carbonaceous species
(organic carbon and elemental carbon) and ionic species were collected every 6 days
over a 23-hour period from June 1, 2018 to May 27, 2019. For the analysis of mass
concentration, carbonaceous species and ionic species, Teflon filter (47 mm, 1.0 ㎛
pore size, Pall corporation, USA) and quartz filter (47 mm, 1.0 ㎛ pore size, Pall
corporation, USA), PTFE filter (47 mm, 1.0 ㎛ pore size, Pall corporation, USA)
were used with low volume air samplers. The low volume air samplers consisting of
filter pack system (URG-2000-30FG, URG, USA) and cyclone (URG-2000-30EH,
URG, USA) were used within the 10% range of 16.7 L/min flow rate. In order to
analyze the organic compounds existing in trace level, high-volume PM2.5 samples
were collected on quartz filter (QMA 1851-865, 203mm x 254mm, Whatman, UK)
by using high volume air sampler (TE-HVPLUS, TISCH, USA) with impactor filter
(TE-230-QZ, TISCH, USA) at a flow rate of 40 cubic feet per minute (CFM).
Teflon filter used for mass concentration measurement was stored in desiccator
(SA0010, Sanplatec, Japan) for 24 hours and was weighed with microbalance
(CPA225D, Sartorius, Germany) before and after the sampling. Quartz filters for
both low and high volume were baked at 450 ℃ for 12 hours to remove pre-existing
organic matters before sampling. PTFE filter were soaked with ethanol and distilled
deionized water (18.2 MΩ cm of conductivity) in turn, twice. All collected filters
were kept in the freezer under -20 ℃ until further analysis.

2.1.3. Chemical speciation analysis
2.1.3.1. Organic carbon (OC) and Elemental carbon (EC)
Organic carbon (OC) and elemental carbon (EC) concentration were analyzed
by using Carbon Aerosol Analyzer (Model 3, Sunset Laboratory Inc., USA). The
quartz filter was punched to 1.5 cm × 1.0 cm and analyzed by the analyzer by using
the thermal/optical transmittance (TOT) method with the National Institute of
Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) 5040 protocol (Table 2). The instrument
was calibrated with a 5 % methane in helium mixture gas and 0.02 M of sucrose
solution (#57-50-1, USB Corporation, USA), respectively. Percent relative standard
deviation (%RSD) was calculated, and was within 5 % nominal value. LOD was
calculated as 3 times standard deviation of 4 blanks.

2.1.3.2. Ionic species (NO3-, SO4
2- and NH4+)
Anions (NO3- and SO4
2-) and Cation (NH4+) were speciated using Ion
chromatography (IC, Dionex Co., DX-1100, USA). PTFE filter collected PM2.5
were extracted in 30 ml of distilled deionized water and ultrasonicated for 60 ℃ for
4 hours. Extracted samples were stored overnight and filtered using syringe and disc
filter (PALL science, 0.2 um pore size). The extracted solution was moved to IC auto
sampler vials. The IC analysis was performed by using the anion column (Ionpac
AS14A 4, 250 mm) and the cation column (Ionpac CS12A 4, 250 mm). For anion
eluent, Na2CO3 with NaHCO3 dissolved in DI water, and for cation eluent, Methane
Sulfonic Acid (MSA) solution with DI water is used.

For analyzing the organic compounds, the PM2.5 samples were extracted with
ultrasonication method. The collected quartz filters were punched (4 cm x 4 cm x 3
ea) and were spiked with a deuterated internal standards containing 18 isotopically
labeled compounds (Acenaphthene-d10, Pyrene-d10, Benz[a]anthracene-d12,
Coronene-d12, Pentadeane-d32, Eicosane-d42, Tetracosane-d50, Triacontane-d58,
Dotriacontane-d66, Hexatriacontane-d74, Cholestane-d4, Succinic acid-d4,
Tetradeanoic Acid-d27, Phthalic Acid-d4, Heptadecanoic Acid-d33, Eicosanoic Acid-
d39, Levoclucosan-13C6, and Cholesterol-d6). These were extracted twice using
ultrasonication with 30 mL of mixture of dichlomethane (DCM; HPLC grade, J. T.
Baker, USA) and methanol (HPLC grade, J. T. Baker, USA) (3:1, v/v) for 30minutes.
The combined extracts were concentrated with nitrogen gas to a volume of
approximately 5 ~ 10 mL using Turbovap II (Zymark, USA), and then were filtered
with an Acrodisc syringe filters (0.45 ㎛-pore size, 25 mm, PALL, USA). The
filtered extracts were finally concentrated to 0.5 mL in 2 ml vials (5182-0716,
Agilent, USA). To analyze polar compounds, 50 ㎕ from the final concentrates was
taken using wiretrols (Drummond®, USA) and completely fried with nitrogen gas.
50 ㎕ of N, O-bis- (trimethylsilyl)trifluoroacetamide (BSTFA) with 1 %
trimethylchlorosilane (TMCS) (99 %, Sigma Aldrich, USA) and 50 ㎕ of pyridine
(HPLC grade, Sigma Aldrich, USA) were added for the silylation process, which is
derivatization transformed the chemicals by removing the polarity groups (Jaoui,

75 ℃. The silylated samples were analyzed within 3 days. The remainder of final
concentration was used for the analysis of non-polar compounds. All compounds
described in Table 3 were analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry

2.1.3.3. Quality assurance and quality controls (QA/QC)
Quality assurance and quality controls (QA/QC) for organic compounds was
performed and the results were described in Table 19~Table 30. In order to quantify
the organic species, calibration curves of non-polar and polar compounds were used
with 6 points of native standards and internal standard method was applied. The
coefficient of determination (r2) was 0.948 – 1.000. The concentration results below
the method detection limit (MDL) were assigned as ‘Not detected (N.D.)’ in this
study. To ascertain the recovery, 50 ㎕ of native non-polar and polar standard were
spiked on the quartz filter and extracted with ultrasonication method. The recovery
was calculated by dividing the measured value by the true value. Total 18 species of
surrogate standards were applied to monitor the potential loss of all procedure (Table
18). In this study, the acceptable recovery range and relative standard deviations
range (RSD) were 65~135 % and 20 %, respectively.

2.2. Data analysis
To identify the potential emission sources, several methods were applied;
Diagnostic parameters including PAHs diagnostic ratio, Carbon number maximum
(Cmax), Carbon preference index (CPI) and Wax n-alkanes percentage (WNA), and
statistical method which is Principal component analysis (PCA).
PAHs diagnostic ratio was calculated to qualitatively identify emission sources
(Tobiszewski & Namieśnik, 2012). Low molecular weight PAHs are usually formed
while the low temperature processes are performed. On the other hand, high
temperature processes release higher molecular weight PAH compounds (Mostert,
Ayoko, & Kokot, 2010). The ratio by using Fluoranthene (Flt), Pyrene (Pyr),
Phenanthrene (PHE) and Anthracene (ANT) was used to distinguish the potential
emission sources. According to the (Behymer & Hites, 1985), the reaction half-lives
of ANT and PHE are 2.9 and 150 hours on silica gel, 0.5 and 45 hours on alumina,
and 48 and 49 hours on fly ash, respectively. ANT adsorbed on particles reacts faster
with NO2, while PHE reacts faster with OH radicals (Marusenko, 2011). The
ANT/(ANT/+PHE) ratio indicates the influence by photoreactions leading to the
ratios close to 0. Furthermore, the Flt and Pyr are 74 and 21 hours for silica gel-
adsorbed PAHs, 23 and 31 hours for alumina, and 44 and 46hours for fly ash. PYR
adsorbed on graphite and diesel particles reacts faster with NO2, but with OH
radicals the reaction rates are the same. Photoreactions are expected to shift the ratio
slightly towards higher values (Table 5).

According to several studies, C21-C25, which is lower molecular weight than
C26 are indicator of diesel engine exhaust (Chellam, Kulkarni, & Fraser, 2005). C27-
C34 (especially higher odd n-alkanes such as C27, C29, C31 and C33) are known as
makers of vegetative detritus (Simoneit, 1989).
Carbon number maximum (Cmax) is used to identify source origins and maturity
of aerosols. Highly matured aerosols from fossil fuels can only emit low value of
Cmax while high Cmax comes from aerosols affected by plant wax sources (Duan, He,
& Liu, 2010).
Carbon preference index (CPI) is a well-known index for indicating the
contribution of anthropogenic or biogenic sources. A CPI value close to or less than
a value of 1 indicates a possibility of fossil fuel burning, while a value higher than 3
may show biological sources (Simoneit, 1989).

Wax n-Alkanes percentage (WNA) is a tool for quantifying the contribution of
biogenic sources in aerosols (Simoneit, 1989). The value is assigned as zero when

3. Result and Discussions
3.1 Chemical constituents
In this study, a total of 63 PM2.5 samples over a year period were analyzed. In
addition, OC, EC , ionic species and more than 100 organic compounds including
PAHs, n-alkanes, hopanes, steranes, alkylcyclohexanes, dicarboxylic acids,
benzencarboxylic acids, alkanoic acids, fatty acids, sugar, glyceride, sterols,
methoxyphenols and resin acids were identified and quantified (Table 19~Table 30).
Table 6 summarizes PM2.5 species concentrations collected in Seoul during the whole
sampling period (June 1, 2018 ~ May 27, 2019).
The average PM2.5 mass concentration during the study period was 26.4 ±
21.5 ㎍/m3. Considering the international and domestic PM2.5 criteria, this study
showed that not only 68.3% samples of mass concentration exceeded the annual
PM2.5 standards in Korea and US EPA (2012), which is 15 ㎍/m3, but also 81.0 %
samples of mass concentrations exceeded the PM2.5 criteria of WHO (2005), which
is 10 ㎍/m3. The average PM2.5 mass concentration depending on the seasonal
variations, winter (36.9 ± 15.6 ㎍/m3) and spring (35.5 ± 34.3 ㎍/m3) showed
higher value than fall (17.5 ± 11.9 ㎍/m3) and summer (17.5 ± 10.1 ㎍/m3)
relatively. The average concentration of OC and EC were 3.95 ± 2.02 ㎍/m3 and
0.46 ± 0.24 ㎍/m3, respectively. As shown in Figure 2 (B) and (C), those figures
show that most of OC and EC concentration follow the seasonal pattern of PM2.5
concentrations whereas some cases are in contrast with PM2.5 during the high

concentration period which is mostly winter and spring seasons. In addition, average
OC/EC ratio is 9.01 ± 2.76 ㎍/m3. A higher value of OC/EC ratio might be presented
as indication of biomass burning (Sandradew, 2008). Furthermore, the ratio value of
OC/EC exceeding 2.0 shows higher possibility the sources origin is connected with
secondary organic aerosol (SOA) (Turpin, 1990, Chow, 1996). According to the
Figure 2 (A) and (B), the OC/EC ratios display high ratio pattern along with
relatively low temperatures (p<0.31). Thus, Seoul, especially the sampling area has
a high possibility influenced by biomass burning or SOA. The average concentration
of ionic species (NO3-, SO4
2- and NH4+) were 5.27 ± 7.08 ㎍/m3, 3.76 ± 3.01 ㎍/m3
and 2.61 ± 3.01 ㎍/m3, respectively.

The organic compounds were classified and calculated by category of its
chemical characteristics. The annual average concentration of Sugars & Glyceride
(71.2 ± 69.4 ng/m3) was the highest among other organic compounds including n-
Alkanes (44.4 ± 16.5 ng/m3), PAHs (4.36 ± 4.05 ng/m3), alkanoic acids (27.4 ± 6.49
ng/m3), aliphatic diacids (17.9 ± 9.06 ng/m3), benzencarboxylic acids (13.6 ± 7.34
ng/m3), fatty acids (20.5 ± 8.17 ng/m3), alkylcyclohexane (4.06 ± 3.15 ng/m3), sterols
(5.33 ± 1.38 ng/m3), hopane (0.05 ± 0.07 ng/m3), and other organic compounds
(methoxyphenols and resin acids; 11.2 ± 3.07 ng/m3). In order to figure out the
temporal variability in concentration over time, the concentration time series plot
was described in Figure 3, which is summed by compounds class. Furthermore, the
concentration of seasonal differences by its compounds class was shown in Figure 4
as well. These time series plots reveal the high degree of day-by-day variability
across whole compound classes, particularly during the winter. The PAHs, Sugars
and Glycerides, Sterols and other organic compounds (which includes
Methoxyphenol, resin acids as so forth) have the most prominent seasonality with
higher values in the winter and lower values in the summer. The PAHs, sterols and
methoxyphenols are markers for biomass burning, but these compounds have
important contributions from other sources as well. The remaining classes of organic
compounds have significant contributions throughout year with a less noticeable
drop in concentration during the summer. The alkanes and fatty acids show a slight
short-duration summertime increase in April to May. This effect suggests a
summertime biogenic sources originated from leaf abrasion (Rogge, 1993) and plant
wax (Simoneit & Mazurek, 1982).

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs)
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs), which exist as a semi-volatile
phase, originate from incomplete combustions or pyrolysis of organic compounds
(Maliszewska-Kordybach, 1999). Total 23 individual compounds in the acceptable
range were analyzed and quantified. As shown in the Table 6, the sum of total PAHs
shows one of the smallest parts of annual organic compounds. Therefore, the PAHs
seemed to have a weak influence on the average organic compounds concentration
trends as well as identification of emission sources.
The volatility of PAHs depends on the number of rings. PAHs with 3 or 4 rings
are classified as semi-volatile and found in both gas and particulate phase. PAHs
with 5 or 6 rings are present only in the particulate phase (Tan et al., 2011). The total
average concentration of semi-volatile PAHs with 3 and 4 rings were 1.12 ± 0.78
ng/m3 and 1.57 ± 1.79 ng/m3, non-volatile PAHs with 5 and 6 rings was 1.31 ± 1.03
ng/m3 and 0.84 ± 0.73 ng/m3, respectively.

PAHs diagnostic ratio
A scatter plot of Flt/(Flt+Pyr) against ANT/(ANT+PHE) is shown in Figure 6
for each season. The diagnostic ratio was dominant in the upper right corner,
suggesting that the PAHs in this sampling area were relatively influenced by diverse
pyrogenic combustions, which are grass, wood, and coal combustion. Especially,
petrogenic sources were dominant in winter and spring. The lower ANT/(ANT+PHE)
value in winter months might influenced of external sources and ageing of air masses.

n-Alkanes
In this study, C15 to C35 were analyzed, but only C20 to C35 was described in
Figure 7. According to varied studies, low molecular weight compounds (C21-C25)
are used as a marker of diesel engine exhaust (Simoneit, 1989), and high molecular
weight species (C27-C34) are well-known as a marker of vegetative detritus
(Simoneit, 1989). As mentioned previously, the average n-Alkanes concentration
through the sampling period was 49.37±18.53 ng/m3. As shown in Figure 7, winter
(58.25±11.63 ng/m3) showed the highest concentration trend throughout all species
in n-Alkanes. Summer (32.30±11.28 ng/m3) represented the lowest trend level
among the other seasons. Spring (35.42±13.69 ng/m3) and Fall (41.46±10.98
ng/m3), on the other hand, concentration trends intersected at lower and higher
molecular weight compounds. Thus, the seasonal pattern of high concentration in
winter and low concentration in summer was displayed during this study period.

Figure 7. Seasonal concentration trends of n-Alkanes in this study
To identify the emission sources related to n-Alkanes, CPI and WNA were
calculated in Table 8. Summary of carbon preference index (CPI) and the wax n-
alkanes percentage (WNA%) in this study and comparison with other studies..
According to the Cmax value throughout the year, especially C31 was dominant which
is able to show the potential source is vegetative detritus. It shows that there were
effects by the Gwanak Mt. which is the sampling site is located in.
Most of CPI values during the sampling period were close to 1 and above, which
means the effects of fossil fuel/biomass burning and biological sources were well
mixed in the area.
Along with potential emission sources assumed by Cmax and CPI value, WNA
values show that the sampling site were influenced on plant wax sources,
considerably.

3.2 Principal Component Analysis
Based on the chemical speciation data, the comprehensive emission sources
were identified. Therefore, statistically significant and accurate classification of
emission sources is distinguished by using the organic species information and
statistical method which is Principal component analysis, referred as PCA.
Before performing the PCA, data handling process was conducted. The organic
species which were out of range of acceptable recovery and RSD (%) were
eliminated in early stage. In order to assume the high potential emission sources, the
stable molecular markers which is less influenced by its environmental condition
during transport from sources to receptors considered in this statistical models. Thus,
several compounds were excluded before the organic markers were considered as its
groups. The PAHs with less than 252 molecular weights, n-Alkanes with less than
24 carbons, n-Alkanoic acids with less than 18 carbons (Heo, 2013).
The PCA analysis is the effective tool for describing inter-correlated variables
into independent principal component (PCs) based on the orthogonal rotation called
VARIMAX and identified diverse factors using statistical software SPSS (ver. 25.0).
The factors above the eigenvalue of 1 were extracted as reasonable principal values
greater than 0.600 and these were highlighted in bold text, whereas the values below
0.300 were eliminated in the table.
As a result, total 4 factors were distinguished and were assigned as biomass
burning, secondary organic aerosols (SOAs), vehicle emission, biogenic secondary
organic aerosols, respectively (Table 9).
Factor 1 was identified as biomass burning with 44.381 % out of total variance.
As shown in Table 9, factor 1 has high loading with levoglucosan which is noticeable
as markers of biomass combustion and tracers to track the long-range transport

emissions (Fraser and Lakshmanan 2000). Along with levoglucosan, sugars and
PAHs groups have high loading and those compounds group are well-known as
markers of biomass burning (Simoneit 1999; Watson 2008; Hays 2002; Hays 2005).
According to the Table 9, the factor 2 were assigned as secondary organic
aerosols with 19.745 % of variance. Factor 2 was characterized by high factor
loading values which are SO42-, NH4
+, Aliphatic acids group, OC/EC and NO32-.
Those group and compounds are also supported the possibility of factor 2 has chance
to be a SOA.
Factor 3 shows high loading of Alkycyclohexanes, hopane and sterane, and n-
Alkanes groups with 6.873 % of variance. Alkylcyclohexanes group is one of the
primary compounds in vehicle emission (Simoneit 1985). Beside, the hopane and
sterane were usually shown in the vehicle emissions and n-Alkanes were produced
in tire ware (Simoneit and Mazurek 1982; Rogge et al. 1993; Hays et al. 2002&2005).
Factor 4 is mainly described with pinonic acids with 5.935% variances. Pinonic
acid is one of the major compounds produced through photo-oxidation of a-pinen
with OH radical or ozone. Several studies presented pinonic acid in aerosols from
forest and vertified its significant roles in the formation of biogenic aerosols in
forests (Kavouras 1998; Yu 1999).

4. Conclusions
Chemical characteristics and potential emission sources of PM2.5 with organic
compounds were investigated in Gwanak district, Seoul, Korea. Samples were
collected every 6 days from June 1, 2018 to May 27, 2019.
(1) The average PM2.5 mass concentration during the study period was 26.4 ±
21.5 ug/m3. The most influenced month was February, which has
56.66±17.41 ug/m3 average PM2.5 concentrations, and September has the
lowest concentration (9.97 ± 4.86 ug/m3). During the sampling period,
winter (36.89 ± 15.59 ug/m3) and spring (35.46 ± 34.27 ug/m3) had high
concentration value than fall (16.91 ± 11.70 ug/m3) and summer (16.99 ±
10.04 ug/m3) relatively. It was able to assure that 68.3% of sampling period
exceeded the annual PM2.5 standards in Korea. Among the organic
compounds including PAHs and n-Alkanes, the total average concentration
of sugars and glyceride (71.2±69.4 ng/m3) showed the highest
concentration throughout the year.
(2) Despite the low concentration of PAHs, the possible emission sources were
identified by using PAHs diagnostic ratio which is Flt/(Flt+Pyr) against
ANT/(ANT+PHE). It is assumed that Seoul is mostly influenced by
pyrogenic sources.
(3) N-Alkanes showed the seasonal patterns well in this study which are high
concentration in winter and low concentration in summer. According to the
n-alkanes parameters, Cmax, CPI and WNA, the sampling area was
influenced by various sources, especially vegetative detritus.
(4) The PCA was performed to identify the possible emission sources. The 4

35
factors were identified, which are biomass burning (44.381 %), secondary
organic aerosols (SOAs) (19.745 %), vehicle emission (6.873 %), biogenic
secondary organic aerosols (5.935 %). More than half of total variances are
assigned in Factor 1 and 2, which means these PCA results suggest that
significant portion of PM2.5 in Seoul, especially those sampling area
(Gwanak district) were possibly derived from the biomass burning and
secondary organic aerosols.
(5) In order to specify and enhance the reliability of distinguishing the emission
sources, other statistical models are expected to perform to provide further
explanations of source apportionment trends.

서울시 관악구 대기 중 PM2.5의 유기성분 특성
정소영
서울대학교 보건대학원
환경보건학과 대기환경전공
초미세먼지(PM2.5)는 주요 대기오염물질 중 하나로 대기 중 공기역학
적 직경이 2.5um 이하인 입자상 물질을 말한다. PM2.5는 다양한 자연적∙
인위적 오염원으로부터 배출되는데, 이는 사람의 건강뿐만 아니라 우리
가 생활하는 환경에도 영향을 미친다. PM2.5는 발암성이 있는 1급 발암
물질로 분류되며, 노출 시 심혈관계 및 호흡기계 질환을 유발할 수 있고,
시정거리를 감소시킬 뿐만 아니라, 기후변화에도 직간접적인 영향을 미
친다. 대기 중 PM2.5의 구성성분 중 대부분을 차지하는 유기탄소는 수많
은 개별 유기성분들로 구성되어 있으며, 이러한 유기성분들은 다양한 오
염원으로부터 배출되어 오염원의 독특한 배출 특성을 나타내기 때문에,
대기 중 PM2.5 오염원을 보다 정확히 추정하기 위해서는 PM2.5내의 유
기성분의 농도 특성 파악이 필요하다. 본 연구에는 2018년 6월부터

2019년 5월까지 서울대학교 보건대학원 옥상에서 채취된 PM2.5 내의
유기탄소, 원소탄소, 개별 유기성분과 같은 화학적 특성 분석하고, 이를
통해 주성분 분석을 이용하여 서울시 관악구의 오염원을 추정하고자 하
였다.
PM2.5의 화학적 특성 분석을 위해 저용량 에어 샘플러와 고용량 에어
샘플러를 이용하여 6일간격으로 63개씩에 해당하는 샘플을 채취하였다.
대상 기간 중 PM2.5의 평균 질량 농도는 26.4 ± 21.5 ug/m3로, 겨울철
인 2월(56.7±17.41 ug/m3)에 최고농도로 나타났으며, 여름철인 9월
(9.97 ± 4.86 ug/m3)에 최저농도인 것으로 나타났다. 분석된 개별 유
기성분의 전체 평균 농도는 212.17±102.71 ug/m3 이며, 이 중 sugar
류가 가장 높은 농도 기여도를 갖는 것으로 나타났다(71.2±69.4
ng/m3). PAHs diagnostic을 통해 추정된 PAHs 오염원은 연소에 의한
오염원 영향을 나타내는 것으로 보였으며, n-Alkanes을 이용한 Cmax,
CPI, WNA 인자들을 통해 다양한 오염원, 특히 생물 기원 오염원의 영
향이 두드러지게 나타났다. 이는 관악산 주변의 식물 등의 오염원이 n-
Alkanes의 발생에 기여한 것으로 추정된다. 앞서 분석한 대기중 화학적
특성 분석을 통해 주성분 분석(Principal Component Analysis, PCA)을
수행하여 1년동안 관악구에 영향을 미친 잠정적인 오염원을 추정하였다.
주성분 분석을 통해 총 4개의 오염원 인자들을 구분하였으며, 이는 생물
성연소(Biomass burning, 44.381%), 이차 유기 에어로졸 오염원
(Secondary organic aerosols, SOA, 19.745%), 자동차 오염원(Vehicle
emission, 6.873%), 생물기원 이차 유기 에어로졸 오염원(Biogenic

secondary organic aerosols, 5.935%)으로 분류되었다. 따라서 본 연구
가 진행된 서울시 관악구의 PM2.5는 주로 생물성 연소와 이차 유기 에
어로졸 오염원의 영향을 받은 것으로 추정된다.
