This study was conducted for the purpose of proposing the basic data for establishing the control program of air pollution and contributing to health improvement and prevent disease of the residents in Pusan area by assessing the atmospheric
level
of
total suspend particles TSP and heavy metals. The author measured the concentration of the Pb, Cd, Cr, V and Mn in the ambient air at the locations by measuring time (morning and afternoon) from January to March 1990 with the graphite furnace
atomic
absorption spectrophotometer.
The locations selected were Sasang, Sinpyung, Jangrim and Daeshin-dong. Namchun-dong, haeunde. Yongdusan, which have been known as industrial complex area, residental area and park are, respectively, in Pusan.
@ES The results were as follows:
@EN 1. The average concentration of TSP:235.60±145.47㎍/㎡
2. The average concentration of Pb:131±0.38㎍/㎡
3. The average concentration of Cd:0.08±0.02㎍/㎡
4. The average concentration of Cr:1.06±0.23㎍/㎡
5. The average concentration of V:0.08±0.02㎍/㎡
6. The average concentration of Mn:3.90±1.14㎍/㎡
7. The average concentration of heavy metals by area was the highest at industrial complex are, and the lovest at residental area.
8. The average concentration of TSP by area was the highest at industrial complex area, and the lovest at park area.
9. The average concentration of heavy metals during the day was relatively higher in the morning than in the afternoon
