A study on fugitive dusts was conducted at Saemangeum reclaimed land located in Gim-je area. The monitoring result on the
fugitive and suspended dust was significantly affected by the farming activities(harvesting and land cultivation) and vehicles passing
nearby the measuring points. The concentration of the fugitive dust generated from the reclaimed land was reduced remarkably by
the effect of halophyte present on the ground and the tide embankment. Comparing the data collected in 2006 and 2007, the
concentrations of TSP and PM10 decreased by 47.4% and 29.5%, respectively. After harvesting operations at paddy field, TSP
increased by 22% while PM10 increased by 54%. The concentration of a Cl- which is a representative ion of sea-salt decreased to
about 35% in 2007 compared with 2006. This represents that the inside area change and plant covering rate affected on the
decrease of fugitive dust. The correlation analysis for the compounds of topsoil at each measuring point shows that near the
coastline is more comparable. The canopy of halophyte in the source area also increased which reduced the fugitive dust
remarkably. The dust distribution measured by dust spectrometer at the same point shows that most particles are 0.5 to 2um size
but not greater than 5 .
