Air Pollution in Seoul Caused by Aerosols

Abstract

Various aspects of air quality problems caused by aerosols in Seoul are discussed. Based on the measurement data, it was found that the general air quality in Seoul has improved during last twenty years. However, PM10 concentration in Seoul is still higher than other cities in Korea and worldwide. At Seoul, it was suggested that secondary aerosols are as important as aerosols directly emitted in Seoul or transported from outside.
