This research investigated the characteristics of CO, CO2, and NO2 concentrations at main subway stations in Busan. The annual mean CO concentrations at the Suyeong and Nampo stations were 0.75 ppm and 0.48 ppm, respectively. Annual CO2 concentration at the Seomyeon 1- platform was 649 ppm. The NO2 concentrations at the Seomyeon 2- waiting room and the Yeonsan station were 0.048 ppm and 0.037 ppm, respectively. CO concentration was highest at two times of the day, and was proportional to the number of passengers commuting to and from work. The CO and CO2 concentrations were highest in winter, but NO2 concentration was highest in spring. CO and CO2 concentrations were highest on Saturday and lowest on Sunday. The correlation of CO and NO2 concentrations measured at the subway stations with those at the ambient air quality station were highest at the Seomyeon 1 and 2- waiting room and Jeonpodong. The correlation was lowest at the Yeonsan and Yeonsandong station. The number of days when CO2 concentration exceeded 700 ppm over the last three years at the Seomyeon 1- platform was 174. The findings of this research are expected to deepen understanding of the fine particle characteristics at subway stations in Busan and be useful for developing a strategy for controlling urban indoor air quality.
