Abstracts
Policy direction for the management of air quality in Korea has been on the reduction of the average concentrations
of the criteria air pollutants such as sulfur dioxide and fine particles. However, recently, risk based management of air
pollutants becomes an important issue. In this study, to develop an effective air quality management policy direction
in Korea, (1) the fourth Multiple Air Toxics Exposure Study (MATES IV) carried out in the South Coast Air Quality
Management District (SQAQMD) in the USA is reviewed and (2) the results are compared with in these in Seoul and
(3) policy directions are suggested. It was found that (1) systematic integrated study comprising of measurement,
modeling, emission inventory estimation, and risk assessment was essential to estimate the health risk of air pollutants
reliably, (2) cancer risk of diesel particle was dominant over other air pollutants, and (3) health risk based emissions
were different from amount based emissions. It was suggested that (1) reducing the exposure from hot spots might
important to reduce health risk from air pollutants and (2) an integrated air quality management administration system
is important for the efficient management of air pollution.
