Fine dust can cause serious problems to human health, and fugitive dust generated at construction sites is one of the main sources of fine dust in Korea. However, monitoring of the amount of fugitive dust generated at the ready-mixed concrete plant site is not performed, and only passive monitoring methods are partially applied in the field. Since it is impossible to control fugitive dust after it is exposed to the air, it is very important to suppress the occurrence or to remove it immediately at the stage of occurrence. Therefore, after identifying the characteristics through real-time monitoring in the fugitive dust generation stage, systematic management is required for suppressing or removing scattering dust in the field. In this study, the scattering dust generation characteristics were analyzed by measuring the particle mass concentration(PMC) of Fugitive dust generated at the aggregate unloading site of the ready-mixed concrete plant in real-time.

Purpose: Even if a damage is applied to the dust of the construction site containing the first-class carcinogen, it is dismissed or 5~30% of the amount of noise damage compensation is paid., Because of such loopholes, some construction companies are neglecting the dust management of the construction site, and the damage of the workers and the residents in the construction site continues. Method: The purpose of this study is to examine the problems of the calculation criteria of damage compensation amount of construction site dust, the measurement of dust concentration, the analysis of measurement data (the data of electric signboard measuring device by the mining scattering method), the prediction and evaluation methods such as modeling, and to suggest improvement measures. Result: It is found that it is impossible to calculate the amount of damages from dust damage in the construction site by calculating the current dust damage compensation amount and dust concentration modeling and measurement. Conclusion: It will receive an application for compensation for damage within the site where damage is expected (about 100m in the straight line and the boundary line of the site), and present a method of calculating the amount of compensation that differentially evaluates dust damage to the degree of dust management and compliance with dust-related legal standards.

황사는 대기오염과 관련하여 심혈관계 및 호흡기계 질환으로 인한 사망 의 증가 등의 건강 영향으로 인해 관심의 대상이 되어왔다. 그러나 최근의 황사성분을 분석한 연구결과에 따르면 실제로 황사기간 동안에 전체먼지농도 중 조대먼지농도의 비율은 증가한 반면 미세먼지농도의 비율은 감소하였고 유해한 중금속의 농도도 별다른 변화를 보이지 않거나 오히려 감소하였다. 이에 본 연구에서는 서울시의 2000년부터 2002년, 2월부터 5월까지의 황사시기를 포함한 경우와 포함하지 않은 경우를 비교하여 황사현상으로 인한 대기먼지가 총사망에 미치는 영향을 비교하였다. 분석결과에 따르면 총사망에 미치는 대기먼지의 영향은, 황사시기를 포함하여 분석한 경우보다 황사시기를 제외하고 분석한 경우에서 더 큰 건강영향을 보였다. 즉, 황사시기를 제외하고 분석한 경우에서 대기먼지가 총사망에 미치는 위험의 크기가 더 큰 것으로 나타났다. 이는 황사의 화학성분 및 황사시 사람들의 행동양식의 변화와 같은 노출의 감소로 설명될 수 있으며 이는 도시 대기오염의 건강위해성을 평가함에 있어서 황사시기를 포함하여 분석하는 경우 도시 대기오염, 특히 대기먼지의 위해도를 과소평가할 가능성이 있으며, 지금까지 제안되는 기존의 연구결과보다 실제 도시 미세먼지의 건강영향이 훨씬 더 클 수 있음을 본 연구결과가 제시하고 있다.

1급 발암물질인 미세먼지 중 44.3%를 차지하고 있는 도로 비산먼지는 효과적인 미세먼지 농도 저감 대책의 방안 중 하나이다. 도로 비산먼지 제거는 일반적으로 특수 차량을 이용, 정해진 경로와 주기에 따라 운행된다. 이러한 운행방식은 도로의 오염 현황에 따른 효과적 경로 선정 및 운영이 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 도로 비산먼지 제거의 효율적인 경로 제안을 위해 대구지역에 분포된 KISTI 이동형 도시센싱 테스트베드에서 수집되는 고해상도의 실시간 지역별 오염 현황 데이터를 활용하여 실시간 오염도를 분석하고, LSTM(LONG SHORT-TERM MEMORY) 알고리즘을 활용하여 미래의 미세먼지 농도를 예측하였다. 기존 연구와 달리 지역별 상황을 고려한 데이터를 사용하여 선형 회귀 분석을 수행하였다. 실험 결과, 시간 속성을 고려한 LSTM이 MLP 보다 평균 제곱근 오차 값이 경우에 따라 최대 30% 더 작음을 확인했다. 본 연구를 기반으로 고해상도 사물 데이터 기반 예측 연구의 가능성을 보였으며, 미세먼지 예측 결과를 활용 유연하고 효과적인 도로 청소차량의 운행 경로를 설정에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

기후변화의 영향 중 하나인 무강우일수의 증가는 우리의 삶에 다양한 피해를 야기하고 있다. 영산강·섬진강권역은 2001년 이후 가장 심한 가뭄을 겪고 있으며, 이로 인해 하천의 건천화, 수질악화, 농업피해 등이 발생하고 있다. 무강우일수의 증가로 인한 피해는 농업지역에만 국한되지 않는다. 도시지역에 무강우가 지속될 경우 공기 중의 미세먼지가 효과적으로 제거되지 못하는 문제가 발생한다. 미세먼지로 인한 환경문제는 특정 배출지역에 국한되지 않고 기상조건에 따라 오염물질이 이동할 수 있으므로 타지역 및 타국가와의 갈등을 유발할 수 있다. 따라서, 정확한 분석을통해 원인을 규명하고 해결방안을 강구하는 것은 중요한 일이다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 먼저 한국환경공단에서 운영 중인 523개의 도시대기 측정소에서 관측된 PM₁₀ 시단위 자료를 이용하여 미세먼지의 추세를 분석하였다. 다음으로 미세먼지의 이동과 소멸과 연관성이 있을 것으로 판단되는 강우량, 습도, 풍속 등의 기상요소 및 무강우일수와 미세먼지 농도의 관련성을 분석하였다. 무강우일수는 전국에 분포된 103개 지상관측소의 시단위 강우자료를 통해 계산하였으며, 무강우일수와 미세먼지 농도의 관계는 각각의 무강우일수에 대응되는 미세먼지의 농도분포를 통해 년단위 및 월단위로 지역별로 분석하였다.

Since the fine particulate matters occurred from mainly combustion in industry and road transport effect to human respiratory health, the interest and importance are getting increased. In 2013, the World Health Organization (WHO) concluded that outdoor air pollution is carcinogenic to humans, with the particulate matter component ($PM_{10}$ and $PM_{2.5}$) of air pollution most closely associated with increased cancer incidence, especially cancer of the lung. Therefore, many researches have been studied in the quantification and data development of fine particulate matters. Currently, the Ministry of Environment and cities/regions are developing the fine particulate matter data and air emission information. Particularly just $PM_{10}$ and $PM_{2.5}$ data is used in the fine particulate matters warning and alert. The data of NOx, SOx, $NH_3$, which have the particulate matter formation potential are not well considered. Also, the researches related with particulate matter formation potential and respiratory effects by industrial sectors and cities/regions are not conducted well. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate and calculate particulate matter formation potential and respiratory effects in 11 industrial sectors and cities using NOx, SOx, $PM_{10}$, $NH_3$ data (developed by Ministry of Environment and National Institute of Environmental Research) in 2001 and 2013. The results of this study will be provided the particulate matter formation potential and respiratory effects and will be used for future the fine particulate matter researches.

In the present, external environmental factors affect human health. In particular, the most important issue is fine dust in these days. Because fine dust is inhaled through the human respiratory system is known to be harmful to health. Tunnels for cars and people can also be easily seen around us. This study, the amount of scattering radiation was measured for walkable tunnels about dust. For the measurement method, dust and radiation dose in the tunnel were measured on good weather (fine dust level: 0 ~ 30 ㎍/㎥) and normal day (fine dust level: 0 ~ 80 ㎍/㎥). The measurement resulted in an increase of 10~20 % of dust in the center of the tunnel on a good weather day and an increase of 20~30 % of dust in the center of the tunnel on normal weather. On the other hand, the results of tunnel measurement of radiation dose increased by 10~20 % at the center of the tunnel non-depending on the weather. As a result, pedestrians should pay attention to scattering dust and scattered radiation while moving through the tunnel. Therefore, it is recommended to wear a filter mask of PM2.5 or less during frequent tunnel walking.

The importance of urban green space creation is increasingly recognized as the most realistic and efficient approach for fine dust mitigation in urban areas. Particularly considering the characteristics of domestic cities, the application of buffer green spaces along roads can maximize the efficiency of fine dust reduction without the need for separate green space creation. Accordingly, this study analyzed the fine dust mitigation effects based on the types of plantings in the central dividers and roadside trees in Jeonju City, Jeollabuk-do. To do this, we controlled various external variables of urban space and considered the planting arrangement types in the central dividers, carrying out the analysis using a CFD simulation. The simulation results confirmed that the central dividers with plantings demonstrated more effective ultrafine dust reduction than those without. Moreover, the arrangement of roadside trees showed a greater ultrafine dust reduction effect when adopting a multilayered structure compared to a single layer. Based on these findings, we concluded that installing both trees and shrubs simultaneously in the central dividers and along roads was effective for ultrafine dust mitigation. On this basis, we quantified the dust reduction effects of plants in urban street environments and proposed planting guidelines for roadside green spaces to improve air quality.
