Estimation of Dry Deposition by Using a Filter Pack Method at Chunchon, Korea

Atmospheric gases and particulates were collected using four-stage filter-pack in Chunchon from January through December in 1999. Particulate SO42− and NO3−, and gaseous HNO3, SO2 and NH3 were analyzed. Annual average concentration of SO42−(S), NO3−(S), HNO3 (g), SO2(g) and NH3(g) were 5.75µg/m3, 4.98µg/m3, 0.33ppb, 1.52ppb and 7.25ppb, respectively. Annual dry deposition fluxes were estimated using the measured concentration and dry deposition velocity published by other research group. Annual dry deposition of S was 287kg · (km)−2·y−1, which accounted for about 30% of total S deposition. For N deposition, dry deposition is predominant; about 70% of total N deposition was through dry process mostly as forms of NH3 and HNO3.
