PM$_{10}$ aerosols were collected using low volume air sampler every month intervals from September 1992 to August 1991 in Seoul. These samples were analyzed for 20 trace elements (Al, As, Ba, Br, Ca, Cl, Co, Cr, Fe, K, Mn, Na, Ni, Pb, Sc, Se, Si, Ti, V and Zn) by INAA (instrumental neutron activation analysis), XRF (x-ray fuorescence spectrometer), and ICP (inductively coupled plasma). PM$_{10}$ mass concentrations higher than 70 $mu$g/m$^3$ were 32% of 60 samples and had significantly higher concentrations in spring and winter than in summer and fall (p-value<0.001). The elements of As, Br, Cl, Ni, Pb, Se, V, and Zn are enriched by factors of 20 to 2,000 relative to their natural abundance in crustal soil. To further identify common sources of pollution-related trace elements, factor analysis was applied to the trace elements concentration data. Major sources that contribute to the atmospheric loading of these elements were found to include fossil fuel combustion, automobile and waste incineration (33.2%), metal processing industry (18.2%), and soil(29.8%).8%).
