Summary:Major chemical species in fine particles and the chemical variations between smog and non-smog events were characterized. Samples were collected on the roof of the School of Public Health building of Seoul National University in Seoul, Korea. The results indicated that air parcels during smog events passed through the major industrial areas in China more often than those during non-smog events. It was suggested that since sulfate, nitrate and secondary organic carbon (SOC) were more important species for smog events, more attentions should be paid to the regional sources in Asian countries including China rather than local sources in Seoul.
