Atmospheric wet deposition of trace metals in the Suwon region in Korea during farming periods

“…Atmospheric deposition of trace elements is affected by anthropogenic factors, and patterns of increase of these elements are considered a major problem, along with acid rain, in countries worldwide. Atmospheric pollutants are suspended in the air and can cause damage directly, but concentrations of harmful trace elements increase as a result of being washed down in rainwater (Al-Khashman, 2005;Chudaeva et al, 2006;Kim et al, 2013;World Health Organization, 2008).…”

“…Concentrations of heavy metals in the atmosphere increase through natural and anthropogenic influx, and their deposition in soils and water bodies occurs through rainfall, snow and dry deposition (Chudaeva et al, 2006). This loading of heavy metals can result in habitat toxicity and accumulation in living bodies, which eventually disrupts environmental ecosystems.…”

“…Atmospheric heavy metal loads are derived from both natural and anthropogenic sources (Cheng et al, 2011;Vual et al, 2011). The natural loads mainly originate from soil particles and the ocean, whereas the anthropogenic loads comprise contamination from metal refining, the use of fossil fuels, combustion, vehicle emissions, and other human activities (Al-Khashman, 2005;Chudaeva et al, 2006;Cheng et al, 2011;García et al, 2006;Herngren et al, 2006).…”

Chemical Properties and Nutrient Loadings of Rainwater during Farming Season

“…(Murdoch et al, 2000). 따라서 선진국에서는 급속한 산업화로 인한 환경오염도 평가에서 인위적인 유래로 기인된 대기침적 및 산성비 등 강우에 의한 대기 오염도 평가 등에 관심을 집중 하고 있다 (Chudaeva et al, 2006;Wang et al, 2007).…”

“…강우는 대기로부터 오염물질들을 정화하는 중요한 기작 (Scorer, 1994) (Chudaeva et al, 2006;Cheng et al, 2011;Park et al, 2000). 산성비의 영향은 풍향과 풍 속에 따라 차이는 있으나 장거리 이동으로 오염원으로부터 떨어져 있는 주변 국가에도 직접 또는 간접으로 영향을 주 는 등 그 피해가 광범위하다 (Charron et al, 2000).…”
