Analysis of Reduction Strategies for Air Pollutants Discharged from Emission Sources and their Impact on the Seoul Metropolitan Area

The Korean government enacted the “Special Law for Improving Air Quality of Metropolitan Area” in 2003. According to this plan, Korean government plan to lower the concentrations of PM10 and NOx to 40 μg/m3 and 22 ppb, respectively, by 2014. In this study, we analyze emission reduction strategies to...

description The Korean government enacted the “Special Law for Improving Air Quality of Metropolitan Area” in 2003. According to this plan, Korean government plan to lower the concentrations of PM10 and NOx to 40 μg/m3 and 22 ppb, respectively, by 2014. In this study, we analyze emission reduction strategies to lower their concentration. Emission reduction for the supply of mass energy and regenerative energy are compared with several scenarios. According to the results, 713 t/y of NOx and 165 t/y of PM10 will be reduced by enhancing the number of households supplied by local heating and air conditioning. And also 5 t/y of PM10 and 312 t/y of NOx will be reduced by replacing conventional energy with solar energy by 2014.
