The objective of this study was to investigate emission characteristics of odorous compounds from the pneumatic waste collection plants (namely, A and B sites). The air samples were collected from each site, at a carrier gas inside the plant and an exhaust gas, to analyze complex odor and 22 odorous compounds. Ammonia, sulfur compounds, and acetaldehyde were the critical odorous components generated in the plants studied. Characteristics of odor at exhaust outlet varied according to the type of odor control engineering. In the analysis of the odor contribution degree of odor components based on odor threshold, site A shows that the odor contribution of dimethyl sulfide was found to be 26%, acetaldehyde 18%, and methyl mercaptan 14%. For site B, methyl mercaptan was 56% and both hydrogen sulfide and dimethyl sulfide were 15%.

The aim of the study is to analyze urban characteristics that affect carbon emissions of buildings. The analysis was conducted at the level of 424 administrative districts in Seoul. The main variables used in the analysis were energy consumption and carbon emissions of buildings published in the Seoul Metropolitan Government's energy information platform 2021. It was found that carbon emissions per unit building were high in Jongno, Gangnam, Guro, and Mok-dong. A regression analysis using the spatial lag model (SLM) identifies that the variables that affect the carbon emissions of buildings were; commercial, educational, business and industrial facility variables as built environment factor; number of residents; traffic volume, number of bus routes and number of subway stations as transportation facilities factors; and environmental factors such as green area and river area.

This study aims to experimentally investigate the combustion characteristics of a lean premixed swirl-stabilized burner with dual-stage fuel injection arrays. The results show that a variation in the fuel distribution to fuel stages 1 (upstream) and 2 (downstream) produces a noticeable change in the NOx and CO emissions. Reducing the confined ratio, defined as the ratio of the nozzle exit diameter to the liner diameter, may reduce NOx and CO emissions owing to reduced combustion loading and longer residence time, respectively. A nozzle exit velocity of 30 m/s shows the optimum characteristics in terms of NOx and CO emissions and flame stability: increasing or decreasing the nozzle exit velocity leads to a degradation in emissions or flame stability, respectively.

In 2006, the share of energy in Korea amounted to 28% from the total import, 97% from overseas dependency, and 83% for the national Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emission in 2004. Thus, from the aspects of economical and environmental policies, an energy analysis is very important, for the industry to cope with the imminent pressure for climate change. However, the estimation of GHG gas emissions due to an energy use is still done in a primitive way, whereby each industry's usage is multiplied by coefficients recommended from international organizations in Korea. At this level, it is impossible to formulate the prevailing logic and policies in face of a new paradigm that seeks to force participation of developing countries through so called post-Kyoto Protocol. In this study, a hybrid energy input-output (E-IO) analysis is conducted on the basis of the input-output(IO) table of 2000 issued by the Bank of Korea in 2003. Furthermore, according to economic sectors, emission of the GHG relative to an energy use is characterized. The analysis is accomplished from four points of view as follows: 1) estimating the GHG emission intensity by 96 sectors, 2) measuring the contribution ratio to GHG emissions by 14 energy sources, 3) calculating the emission factor of 3 GHG compounds, and 4) estimating the total amount of national GHG emission. The total amount estimated in this study is compared with a national official statistical number. The approach could be an appropriate model for the recently spreading concept of a Life Cycle Analysis as it analyzes not only a direct GHG emission from a direct energy use but also an associated emission from an indirect use. We expect this model can provide a form for the basis of a future GHG reduction policy making.

동북아시아에서 화석연료의 연소로부터 배출되는 인위적 대기오염물질의 증가는 심각한 문제로 대두되고 있다. 우리 나라의 경우는 도시화, 인구 밀집과 자동차의 증가로 인한 대기오염물질 배출은 대도시에서 공기질 저하를 야기하고 있다. 특히, 서울 지역은 가시도(Visibility), 오존 등의 심각한 공기오염문제를 경험하고 있다. 이러한 대기오염은 국지적 기상변화에 따라 발생하는 도시형 스모그나 안개과 밀접한 관계가 있는 것으로 추정되며, 발생시 에어로졸의 특성변화가 예상되고 있으나, 스모그나 안개 발생시 에어로졸의 특성이나 고도 분포에 대한 연구는 미흡한 실정에 있다.

국민의 보건의식이 높아짐에 따라서, 병원에서 배출되는 감염성 폐기물의 안정적 처리에 대한 요구가 높아지고 있다. 감염성 폐기물 처리방법으로는 가압멸균과 산화소각 및 건류소각이 있는데, 본 연구 목적은 100％멸균이 보장되는 중형 산화소각을 설계하고 이의 운영특성을 파악하는데 있다. 감염성 폐기물은 일정규격의 상자에 담아서 배출되며, 저온에서 이송과 저장이 이루어지며, 소각로 투입시에도 상자를 파손하지 않고 투입되어야 하는 등의 엄격한 규정에 따라서 소각하여야 한다. 본 연구는 이러한 감염성 폐기물처리 법규 및 감염성 폐기물의 연소 특성을 파악하여 소각로 설계의 기본자료로 활용하였다.

To resolve the Global Warming problem, it have to reduce $CO_2$ emission. Korea need to do actively more the effort to reduce the emission because $CO_2$ emission per person is top level in the world. It is performing variously. However, we should recognize the $CO_2$ emission attribute to decrease $CO_2$. Analyzing $CO_2$ emission of the construction equipment is important in this aspect. Present, the most popular $CO_2$ emission measuring method is the way using fuel consumption and emission factor. But this method have the problem of reliability because can't reflect the factor being out of proportion at fuel consumption. This study analyzed the reason of difference and compared to the emission factor method after calculate $CO_2$ emission in direct measurement method.

The emission characteristics of odorous compounds discharged from the major environmental treatment facilities in Chungju were closely investigated by an ammonia passive sampler and by analyzing a questionnaire of the public complains. Amongst the four major emission sources, the manure treatment facility showed the highest concentration. The major components were sulfur compounds including H$_2$S, tri-methyl amine, and aldehydes. The foodwaste treatment processes releases sulfur compounds and aldehydes. Municipal waste water treatment facility emits a high concentration of acetaldehyde. It was found that the perceived odor level depends on the meteorological condition, and the odor intensity was higher at midnight than daytime.

우리의 생활 주변에는 자연적으로 배출되는 오염물질과 인간의 사회활동을 통해서 발생하는 인위적인 오염물질이 있다. 배출원에서 발생하는 오염물질은 배출조건이나 주변지역의 장애물, 또는 기상조건 등과 같은 많은 변수들 때문에 오염물질의 확산에 많은 영향을 받는다. 따라서 실제 대기 중의 복잡한 확산특성을 이해하기 위해서는 바람특성에 대한 보다 정확한 정보가 필요하다. 이러한 확산조건을 정확히 파악하기 위해서는 현장에서 장기간의 시간을 가지고 실측 데이터를 얻는 것이 가장 좋으나 이는 경제적 또는 실험적인 한계로 인해 불가능하다. (중략)
