The collection of TSP and PM 2.5 aerosols has been made at the Gosan Site of Jeju Island during 2008-2011, and their ionic and elemental species were analyzed, in order to examine the seasonal variation and characteristics of aerosol compositions. The anthropogenic components (NH 4 + + , nss-SO 4 2-, NO 3-, S, Zn, Pb) and the soil components (nss-Ca 2+ + , Al, Fe, Ca) showed high concentrations in spring as the prevailing westerly wind, but the concentrations of the sea-salt components (Na + + , Cl-) were high in winter. In TSP, the neutralization by NH 3 increased in summer, but the neutralization by CaCO 3 increased in spring and fall seasons. The organic acids (HCOO-, CH 3 COO-) contributed to the acidification of the aerosols by only 5.0%, so the acidification could be mostly contributed by the inorganic acids (SO 4 2-, NO 3-). From the examination of the source origins by factor analysis, the compositions of TSP were influenced by the order of soil¤anthropogenic¤marine, on the other hand, those of PM 2.5 were by the order of an-thropogenic¤marine¤soil. The backward trajectory analyses showed that the concentrations of NH 4 + + , nss-SO 4 2-, NO 3 and nss-Ca 2+ + increased highly when the air masses had moved from China continent into Gosan area of Jeju Island.
