Objectives: This paper was prepared in memory of Jerry Sherwood, who provided a significant contribution to the Korean environmental and occupational health fields.
Methods: Rare air quality data in Seoul were gathered by Jerry Sherwood when he visited Korea in the early 1980s. SO2 and TPM concentrations were measured. These air quality measurements were based on ambient stationary monitoring and indoor air quality monitoring in various locations. Measurement during transportation was also applied.
Results: Ambient SO2 and TPM concentrations in Seoul were very high in the early 1980s. Ambient SO2 concentrations were higher at nighttime. While ambient SO2 concentrations varied by location, the Guro industrial area showed high levels. When indoor sources were presented, indoor SO2 concentration was higher than outdoor level. Coal briquettes were closely associated with high indoor SO2 concentration.
Conclusion: This paper provided valuable historical information of air quality in Seoul.
