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 SO₄ ^2? and NO₃ ^?, and gaseous HNO₃, SO₂ and NH₃ were analyzed. Annual average concentration of SO₄ ^2?(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.
