Wastewater generated in the secondary battery production process contains lithium and high-concentration sulfate. Recently, as demand as demand for high-Ni precursors with high-energy density has surged, nickel emission is also a concern. Lithium and sulfate are not included in the current water pollutant discharge standard, so if they are not properly processed and discharged, the negative effect on future environment may be great. Therefore, in this study, the ecotoxicity of lithium, nickel, and sulfate, which are potential contaminants that can be discharged from the secondary battery production process, was evaluated using water flea (Daphnia magna) and luminescent bacteria (Aliivibrio fischeri). As a result of the ecotoxicity test, 24-hour and 48-hour D. magna EC₅₀ values of lithium were 18.2mg/L and 14.5mg/L, nickel EC50 values were 7.2mg/L and 5.4mg/L, and sulfate EC₅₀ values were 4,605.5mg/L and 4,345.0mg/L, respectively. In the case of D. magna, it was found that there was a difference in ecotoxicity according to the contaminants and exposure time (24 hours, 48 hours). Comparing the EC₅₀ of D. magna for lithium, nickel, and sulfate, the EC₅₀ of nickel at 24h and 48h was 39.6-37.2% compared to lithium and 0.1-0.2% compared to sulfate, which was the most toxic among the three substances. The difference appeared to be at a similarlevelregardless of the exposure time. The EC₅₀ of sulfate was 253.0-299.7% and 639.5-804.6%, respectively, compared to lithium and nickel, showing the least toxicity among the three substances. The 30-minute EC₅₀ values of luminescent bacteria forlithium, nickel, and sulfate were 2,755.8mg/L, 7.4mg/L, and 66,047.3mg/L,respectively. Unlike nickel, it was confirmed that there was a difference in sensitivity between D. magna and A. fischeri bacteria to lithium and sulfate. Studies on the mixture toxicity of these substances are needed.

다이옥신류의 주된 생성원인은 쓰레기 소각장에서의 배출가스에 기인한다고 알려져 있다.$^{1,3,4)}$ 그 밖에 농약제조, pulp 제조과정에서 부산물로 생성되기도 하고, 자동차배가스도 다이옥신의 생성원인 중에 하나이다. Miyabara$^{5)}$ 등은 일본내 자동차 배출가스 입자중 다이옥신류의 농도는 4.2-242 pg I-TEQ/g이였으며, 일본에서 배출하는 다이옥신류의 약 0.3%에 달한다고 추정하였다. 도로변 퇴적물 둥에서의 다이옥신 농도는 자동차 배출가스 등으로부터 직ㆍ간접으로 많은 영향을 받고 있으며, 이들이 비산할 경우 운전자의 호흡기를 통해 건강에 직접적으로 영향을 미칠 수 있다.$^{2)}$ (중략)

연소나 폐기물 감량화 처리를 위해 이루어지는 소각과정에서 방출되는 대기오염물질은 소각재의 다양한 특성으로 인해 배출물의 특성파악이 매우 어렵고 그로 인해 제어에 많은 어려움을 겪고 있다. 연소 혹은 소각과정에서 에어로졸을 제어하는 것은 대기 중에서 발견되는 중금속성분을 근본적으로 줄이는 기본적인 조치로서 상당히 중요한 역할을 한다(Natusch and Wallace, 1974; Oppelt, 1986; Oberdorster et al., 1995). 본 연구에서는 소각공정에서 금속성 에어로졸 형태로 배연기체 중에 혼합되어 배출되는 여러 가지 금속성분 중 양적으로 많이 배출되는 납성분의 제어를 위한 기초연구를 수행하였다.

보다 깨끗한 환경에서 살고 싶어 하는 인류의 욕구가 육상의 대기 배출물뿐만 아니라 선박까지도 보다 깨끗한 배기를 요구하기에 이르렀다. 이러한 요구에 부응하여 IMO(국제해사기구)뿐만 아니라 EU(유럽연합)과 미국 등에서 규제를 이미 시작하였거나 시작할 예정이다. 또한 많은 선급에서도 약 10년 전부터 자발적인 규칙을 도입해오고 있다. 그리고 스웨덴은 인센티브제를 오래 전부터 적용해오고 있다. 이러한 규제, 선급 규칙 및 인센티브제는 질소산화물, 황산화물 및 입자상물질 배출에 제한을 가하는데, 황산화물 및 입자상물질 배출 제한은 간접적으로 연료유에 함유되어 있는 황 함량 규제를 통하여 하고 있거나 하려고 한다. 여기에 이러한 규제, 선급 규칙 및 인센티브제에서 가하고 있거나 가할 예정인 선박 디젤기관 연료유의 황 함량 규제에 대하여 간략하게 소개한다.

Along with the increasing interest in environmental problems such as global warming, the South Korean government has established policies and regulations to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases, targeting a 30% reduction of $CO_2$ compared to business-as-usual levels by 2020. Thus, there have been many studies in construction field to control and reduce the amount of $CO_2$ emitted from buildings. $CO_2$ emission from the building construction could be obtained by using the life cycle assessment(LCA) methodology. In LCA, it is essential to have life cycle inventory(LCI) data of construction materials consisting of $CO_2$ emission data that have been defined and examined in a detailed way in order to obtain more accurate and detailed $CO_2$ emission of buildings. To date, however, the LCI data have been acquired only for the representative materials. Accordingly this study aimed to propose detailed $CO_2$ emission data for steel rebar and H-beam, which are the essential structural steel materials, by strength and type. To accomplish the objective, this study used Input-Output LCA methodology which is based on the Input-Output table. It is believed that the $CO_2$ emission data of steel materials acquired from this study would allow a more accurate assessment of $CO_2$ emission for diverse structural design alternatives.

Carbon dioxide is considered a major greenhouse gas that contributes to global wanning. $CO_2$ is a major component of the exhaust in the combustion of any hydrocarbon fuel. The regulation for $CO_2$ emission from vehicles has become much more stringent in recent years. These more stringent regulations require vehicle manufacturers to develop alternative fuels that reduce exhaust emissions. This paper evaluated the correlation of $CO_2$ emission and fuel economy in the Gasoline, Diesel, and LPG vehicles according to FTP-75 and NEDC(ECE15+EUDC) driving mode. From this study, we discovered that the decrease rate of $CO_2$ emission is higher for fuels of lower carbon concentration. When the relationship between $CO_2$ emission and fuel consumption rate according to used fuels is expressed as a function, one can find out that they have a high correlation. LPG vehicles produce less $CO_2$ emission than gasoline and diesel vehicles.

As a part of the development of aircraft gas turbines, combustion performance tests have been conducted in the single combustor sector. The effects of change in the amount of air supplied to the main combustion zone to the performance of the combustor, such as a pollutant emission, a liner temperature distribution and an exit temperature patterns, were studied. Emissions of CO and NOx increased with the main air-ratio and exit temperature pattern was improved. When changing the pattern of the dilution holes, it was shown that the temperature patterns on the exit plane of the combustor and the surface of liner changed depending on the main flame structure and mixing with diluent air. These observations will be applied to combustor liner designs to improve combustor durability and emissions reduction performance.

From the perspective of climate-smart agriculture, it is becoming more critical to accurately estimate the amount of greenhouse gas emissions in the agricultural sector. In order to accurately ascertain the methane emissions from rice paddies, which account for a significant portion of the emission from the agricultural sector, we used the data from the 2010 Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Census, the revised water management scaling factors and their calculation program. In order to facilitate the analyses and understanding, the results were mapped using the ArcGIS software. The fact that the validation of the mapped values against the actual field measurements at one site showed little difference encourages the necessity to further this study. The administrative districts-based map of methane emission can help clearly identify the regional differences. Furthermore, the analysis of their major controlling factors will provide important scientific basis for the practical policy makings for methane mitigation.

In this study, the characteristics of emulsified fuel and engine emissions were studied. Emulsified fuel which composed of water and diesel was manufactured by using homogenizer and ultrasonic generator. Engine emissions were studied whit engine dinamometer. In emulsified fuel, density and viscosity were increased with increasing water contents, but viscosity was decreased over 60% of water in emulsion fuel. The emulsion type of W/O changed to that of O/W over 60% of water in emulsion fuel. In the results of engine dinamometer test, NOx concentration and smoke density were reduced with increasing water contents in emulsified fuel but reciprocal in the case of THC, CO. Temperature and power were reduced with increasing water contents in emulsion fuel. In conclusion, it seemed that using emulsified fuel for diesel engine was effective for reducing NOx concentration and smoke density.

Recently, decarbonization has been emphasized worldwide to cope with climate change, and carbon neutrality by 2050 has emerged as a global agenda. The domestic port authorities have been participating in the global agenda in line with the government regulations. Since 2010, when decarbonization has been regarded as an important assignment in ports, container terminal efficiency considering undesirable outputs such as Carbon dioxide has been analyzed. However, most previous studies measured carbon dioxide emissions according to the Tier 1 and it is a first time to analyze container terminal efficiency based on the Tier 3 presented in the IPCC guidelines. 17 domestic container terminal operators were considered as decision making units and DEA-SBM Model was used. Subsequently, Undesirable outputs model was conducted to calculate the environmental efficiency.
