Abstract
Characteristics of visual air quality in Seoul have been investigated from March 1993 to February 1994. Optical properties, meteorological p arameters, and particle characteristics were measured. The data indica te that light scattering by particles is the dominant process in light extinction. Fine particle mass concentration and the fraction of sulf ate, nitrate, and ammonium ions in the particles are the major variabl es which determine the occurrence and characteristics of a smog episod e in Seoul.
