The forecasting of air pollution is an important and popular topic in environmental engineering. Due to health impacts caused by unacceptable particulate matter (PM) levels, it has become one of the greatest concerns in metropolitan cities like Karaj City in Iran. In this study, the concentration of $PM_{2.5}$ was predicted by applying a multilayer percepteron (MLP) neural network, a radial basis function (RBF) neural network and a Markov chain model. Two months of hourly data including temperature, NO, $NO_2$, $NO_x$, CO, $SO_2$ and $PM_{10}$ were used as inputs to the artificial neural networks. From 1,488 data, 1,300 of data was used to train the models and the rest of the data were applied to test the models. The results of using artificial neural networks indicated that the models performed well in predicting $PM_{2.5}$ concentrations. The application of a Markov chain described the probable occurrences of unhealthy hours. The MLP neural network with two hidden layers including 19 neurons in the first layer and 16 neurons in the second layer provided the best results. The coefficient of determination ($R^2$), Index of Agreement (IA) and Efficiency (E) between the observed and the predicted data using an MLP neural network were 0.92, 0.93 and 0.981, respectively. In the MLP neural network, the MBE was 0.0546 which indicates the adequacy of the model. In the RBF neural network, increasing the number of neurons to 1,488 caused the RMSE to decline from 7.88 to 0.00 and caused $R^2$ to reach 0.93. In the Markov chain model the absolute error was 0.014 which indicated an acceptable accuracy and precision. We concluded the probability of occurrence state duration and transition of $PM_{2.5}$ pollution is predictable using a Markov chain method.

As the need for PM type observation increases, Surface Particulate Matter Network (SPARTAN), PM samplers analyzes aerosol samples for PM mass concentration and chemical composition, were recently installed at two sites: Yonsei University at Seoul and Ulsan Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) at Ulsan. These SPARTAN filter samplers and nephelometers provide the PM_2.5 mass concentration and chemical speciation data with aerosol type information. We introduced the overall information and installation of SPARTAN at the field site in this study. After installation and observation, both Seoul and Ulsan sites showed a similar time series pattern with the daily PM_2.5 mass concentration of SPARTAN and the data of Airkorea. In particular, in the case of high concentrations of fine particles, daily average value of PM_2.5 was relatively well-matched. During the Yonsei University observation period, high concentrations were displayed in the order of sulfate, black carbon (BC), ammonium, and calcium ions on most measurement days. The case in which the concentration of nitrate ions showed significant value was confirmed as the period during which the fine dust alert was issued. From the data analysis, SPARTAN data can be analyzed in conjunction with the existing urban monitoring network, and it is expected to have a synergetic effect in the research field. Additionally, the possibility of being analyzed with optical data such as AERONET is presented. In addition, the method of installing and operating SPARTAN has been described in detail, which is expected to help set the stage for the observation system in the future.

Background: The health effects of particulate matter (PM_2.5) bonded with various harmful chemicals differ based on their composition, so investigating and managing their concentrations and composition is vital for long-term management. As industrial complexes emit considerable quantities of pollutants, higher PM_2.5 concentrations and chemical component effects are expected than in other places. Objectives: We investigated the concentration distribution ratios of PM_2.5 chemical components to provide basic data to inform future major emissions control and PM_2.5 reduction measures in industrial complexes. Methods: We monitored five sites near the Ansan and Siheung industrial complexes from August 2020 to July 2021. Samples were collected and analyzed twice per week in spring/winter and once per week in summer/autumn according to the National Institute of Environmental Research in the Ministry of Environments' Air Pollution Monitoring Network Installation and Operation Guidelines. We investigated and compared composition ratios of 29 ions, carbon, and elemental components in PM_2.5. Results: The analysis of PM_2.5 components at the five sites revealed that ion components accounted for the greatest total mass at approximately 50% while carbon components and elemental components contributed 23~28% and 8~10%, respectively. Among the ionic components, NO₃^- occupies the greatest proportion. OC occupies the greatest proportion of the carbon components and sulphur occupies the greatest proportion of elemental components. Conclusions: This study investigated the concentration distribution ratios of PM_2.5 chemical components in industrial complexes. We believe these results provide basic chemical component concentration ratio data for establishing future air management policies and plans for the Ansan and Siheung industrial complexes.

We report mass concentration and size fraction of TPM, $PM_{10}$ and $PM_{2.5}$ according to Korea standard test method (ES 01301.1 and ES 01317.1) and ISO 23210 methods. Particulate matters were sampled in large stationary emission sources such as a coal power plant and B-C oil refinery. The Korea standard test method PM mass concentrations showed 3~3.5 times larger than the cascade impactor method. On the other hand, the size fraction results showed less than 5% difference (i.e. $PM_{2.5}/PM_{10}$) between two methods. Moreover, the correlation coefficient ($r^2$) is 0.84 between TPM results of the Korea standard test method and CleanSYS. These results suggested not only improvement of current test criteria in terms of technical and theoretical aspects. Further, additional measurements are required in various large stationary sources to compare current field data.

STZ-당뇨 흰쥐에서 규칙적인 treadmill운동이 당 및 지질대사와 골격근 제 4 형 당수송체에 미치는 영향을 연구한 본 논문의 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 규칙적인 운동시작시와 4주간 운동후의 체중증가는 정상군에 비하여 당뇨-대조군은 정상군의 72%수준으로 증가의 정도가 작았으나 운동에 의하여 정상군의 92% 수준으로 회복되었다. 혈장 포도당(mg/dl)은 정상군의 $103{\pm}6.4$에 비하여 당뇨-대조군은 $143{\pm}3.1$로 증가하였으나 운동에 의하여 $115{\pm}2.9$로 낮아졌다. 혈장 인슐린(${\mu}U/ml$)은 정상군의 $19{\pm}4.9$에 비하여 당뇨-대조군 및 당뇨-운동군에서 각각 $8{\pm}2.0$과 $9{\pm}2.1$로 낮았다. 혈장 유리지방산(${\mu}Eq/l$)은 정상군의 $469{\pm}33.6$에 비하여 당뇨-대조군 및 당뇨-운동군은 각각 $491{\pm}69.5$와 $398{\pm}91.8$로 각군간의 유의한 차이가 없었다. 혈장 중성지방(mg/dl)은 대조군의 $42{\pm}4.1$에 비하여 당뇨-대조군은 $58{\pm}7.2$로 높았으며 당뇨-운동군은 $47{\pm}5.4$로 운동에 의하여 개선되는 양상을 보였다. 혈장 총콜레스테롤(mg/dl)은 정상군의 $54{\pm}3.9$에 비하여 당뇨-대조군은 $64{\pm}5.2$로 다소 높았으나 통계적인 유의성은 없었으나 운동에 의하여 $43{\pm}3.2$로 정상군보다 오히려 감소하였다. HDL-콜레스테롤(mg/dl)은 정상군의 $22{\pm}0.8$에 비하여 당뇨-대조군 및 당뇨-운동군은 각각 $23{\pm}1.9$ 및 $24{\pm}1.3$으로 차이가 없었다. 골격근 당원 (mg/gm wet weight)은 족척근에서 정상군의 $3.2{\pm}0.46$에 비하여 당뇨-대조군은 $2.6{\pm}0.39$(정상군의 81%), 당뇨-운동군은 $2.4{\pm}0.47$(정상군의 75%)로 각각 낮았다. 체중에 대한 가자미근 무게 비 (x $10^{-4}$)는 정상군의 $4.58{\pm}0.259$에 비하여 당뇨-대조군은 $4.22{\pm}0.301$(정상군의 92%)로 낮았으나 당뇨-운동군은 $5.06{\pm}0.153$(정상군의 110%)으로 정상군보다도 오히려 높았다. 골격근 제 4 형 당수송체 단백은 가자미근에서 정상군에 비하여 당뇨-대조군에서 낮았으나 운동에 의하여 정상수준으로 회복되었다. 이상의 결과로 미루어 보아 규칙적인 트레드밀 운동은 당뇨유도에 의해 악화된 혈장 포도당과 중성지방, 총콜레스테롤을 개선시키는 작용을 가지며 혈장 포도당 개선 기전의 하나로서 운동이 당뇨유도에 의해 감소된 골격근 당수송체의 양을 증가시키는 것으로 사료된다.
