Objectives : Hazardous air pollutants emitted from industrial complexes also affect neighboring residential areas, so it is necessary to manage the emission facilities of the workplace.Methods : Using SIFT-MS, the concentration distribution of volatile organic compounds in the air was identified in urban areas, non-urban areas, and industrial complex areas.Results and Discussion : The distribution of the annual average concentration of major VOCs in Ulsan was highest in Yeocheon-dong, an industrial area, and in the case of urban areas, the industrial complex is highly influenced by the summer weather characteristics with south or southeast winds. And the Yeocheon-dong, which is an industrial area, showed a higher concentration at nighttime than daytime.Conclusion : Management of emission facilities in industrial areas and long-term monitoring of VOCs are continuously needed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
