The Measurement methods which were used are described below. Sulfur oxides were measured by Pb02 cylinder method, sulfur dioxides (SO,) and carbon monoxide (CO) by the MSA & Kitakwa detector, dustfall by the Deposit gauge method, and the noise levels by the Kanomax soundlevel meter.
The results obtained are as follows
1. The mean value of sulfur oxides in Kwangju city was 1.16 mg SO3/day/100cm2 Pb02, ranging from 0.45 mg S03/day/100 cm2 PbO2 to 3. 10 mg S03/day/100 cm2 Pb02.
2. The mean values of sulfur oxides according to its specific area in the city were 1.45 mg S03/day/100 cm2 Pb02 in heavy traffic area, 1.36 in downtown area, 1.23 in semi-downtown area, 1. 11 in commercial area, 0. 96 in residential area, and 1.07 in park area, respectively.
3. The average concentration of sulfur dioxide was 0. 063 ppm from 2 to 5 P.M in Kwangju city.
4. The average concentrations of sulfur dioxides according to its specific area, from 2 to 5 P.M, in the city were 0.084 ppm in heavy traffic area & downtown area, 0.067 in commercial area, 0.053 in semidowntown area, 0.052 in residential area, and 0.036 in park area.
5. The average concentration of carbon monoxide was 22.3 ppm from 2 to 5 P.M, in Kwangju city.
6. The average concentrations of carbon monoxide according to its specific area, from 2 to 5 P.M, in the city were 27.0 ppm in downtown area, 26.3 in semi-downtown area, 23.0 in heavy traffic area, 21.7 in commercial area, 20.0 in residential area, and 17.6 in park area.

8. The mean values of dustall according to its specific area in the city were 50.37 ton/Km2/month in semi-downtown area, 42.76 in heavy traffic area, 34.67 in downtown area, 17.77 in commercial area, 14.40 in park area, and 14.76 in residential area.
9. The mean values of the soluble dust in Kwangju city was 10. 23 ton/Km2/month and that of the insoluble dust was :19.05 ton/Knit/month. -
10. The mean value of noise level in Kwangju city was 62 phon, ranging from 37 phon to 88 phon_ 11. The mean values of noise level according to its specific area in the city were 76 phon in heavy traffic area, 67 in semi-downtown area, 64 in downtown area, 59 in commercial area, 52 in part area, and 50 in residential area.
