In order to investigate the statistical analysis of ambient suspended particle at Seoul in Korea, airborne particulate matters were collected by High-Volume Air Sampler from April 1988 to May 1991, and size distribution of the aerosols were measured by filters on nine stages Andersen Air Sampler from January 1990 to December 1990. And with respect to seven components in the total suspended particulate, the factor analysis was performed. As a result of factor analysis by using the varimax rotation method, the chemical components in the TSP were able to characterize with two principal factors. The first factor (Factor 1) was considered to be a factor indicating the contribution of natural sources and the second factor(Factor 2) was a factor indicating the contribution of anthrophogenic sources. For concentration of size distribution measured by Andersen Air Sampler, tne factor analysis was also performed. As a result of factor analysis by using the varirnax rotation method, particle size distribution of atmospheric particulate was divided into two groups, coarse particle group was made by particles lager than 2.1㎛ in diameter and fine groups smaller than 1.1㎛ in diameter.
