In this study, the performance characteristics of DNPH sampling were investigated in the collection and analysis of 5 carbonyl compounds (CC) in air using the cartridge products produced by three different makers. For these experiments, gaseous standards of 5 CCs were prepared to cover 9 concentration levels for each compound (33~2600 nmol). Some cartridge products exhibited relatively high blank values of acetaldehyde (AA) and propionaldehyde (PA). The recovery rates of all three cartridges showed moderate reduction as the molecular weight of CC increased. In addition, when the recovery rate was compared by percent error (%), the most stable patterns were achieved in the intermediate concentration range of 263~1312 nmol (in case of AA). The overall results of our study suggest that the optimal range of recovery for a given concentration range should be considered to obtain the most reliable data for the DNPH cartridge method.

In this study, several kinds of volatile amines in ambiant air were collected and their concentrations were expected from the calibration curves prepared by standard solutions of 7 amines by the official measuring method prescribed in Japanese Offensive Odor Law. The obtained calibration curves showed a good linearity and the detection limit of trimethyl amine was found to be about 0.033 ppb (0.040 ng) in case of 50 liters air. It means that trimethyl amine could be detected with the concentration of lower than its permitting level at the border line of companies. As typical examples of measuring amines in air, results of investigation of two sewage works and one rendering plant around the capital area indicated that 4 kinds of amines, i.e. methyl amine, dimethyl amine, trimethyl amine and isopropyl amine were detectable and concentrations of trimethyl amine at the primary sedimentation pond and sludge dewatering building of the sewage plant A showed 9.07 ppb and 7.79 ppb respectively, being over the concentration of odor strength 2.5, And the aeration tank, excrement input facility and indoor of maintenance room of excrement process building in the sewage plant B showed 70.0 ppb of dimethyl amine and 2.44 ppb of trimethyl amine.

This study was performed to test the effect of horseradish powder in fattening pig diet on odorous compound concentration from manure. Twenty fattening boars [Landrace ${\times}$ Yorkshire) ${\times}$ Duroc] weighing an average body weight of $68.4{\pm}4.95}$ kg were randomly assigned to one of 4 treatments (horseradish level in diets: 0, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03%) based on their body weight. This experiment was a randomized complete block (RCB) design using 5 pigs per treatment with 1 pig per metabolizable cage. Pigs were fed experimental diet (amount proportional to 3% of their body weight) twice a day (09:00 and 16:00) for 7 d after having 14 d adaptation period. Experimental diets were mixed with water by 1:2.5 v/v. Concentration of volatile fatty acids (VFAs) was highest (p<0.05) when pigs fed diet with 0.02% horseradish powder. Level of phenol compounds including phenol and p-cresol were decreased (p<0.05) in 0.01~0.02% horseradish treatment group compared with control group. Concentration of indoles including indole and skatole was lowest (p<0.05) in 0.03% horseradish treatment group compare to others. Therefore, results from our current study suggest that the optimal levels of horseradish powder in diet for reducing phenol and indole compounds in pig manure were 0.02 and 0.03%, respectively.

This study was to performed to investigate the effect of horseradish powder and mushroom waste in fattening pig diet on odorous compound concentration from slurry. Twenty fattening boars [Landrace${\times}$Yorkshire) ${\times}$ Duroc] weighing an average body weight of $78.4{\pm}8.88$ kg were randomly assigned to one of 4 treatments (control, horseradish 0.03%, mushroom waste 0.5%, and combination; horseradish 0.03% + mushroom waste 0.5%). This experiment was a randomized complete block (RCB) design using 5 pigs per treatment with 1 pig per metabolizable cage. Pigs were fed experimental diet (amount proportional to 3% of their body weight) twice a day (09:00 and 16:00) for 7 d after having 14 d adaptation period. Experimental diets were mixed with water by 1:2.5 v/v. Odorous compounds in slurry including acetate, propionate, butyrate, trans fatty acid isomers were not different (P>0.05) among treatments. There was no difference (P>0.05) in the levels of phenol compounds including phenol and p-cresol in slurry among treatments. Concentration of indole was lower (P<0.05) in horseradish group compared with others. Skatole level was highest in control and horseradish group, middle in mushroom waste group, and lowest in combination group (P<0.05). Concentration of indole compounds was lowest (P<0.05) in combination group. Data from our current study suggest that indole compounds in slurry can be reduced by administrating pigs with 0.03% horseradish powder and 0.5% mushroom waste in their diet.

익산공단 내에 입주해 있는 업종별 주요사업장에서의 배출원과 인근 도심에 산재한 일반 VOCs배출원들 중 일부 주요배출원에서의 시료를 canister로 채취한 후 악취 및 광화학산화물 생성에 연관된 주요 VOCs의 성분과 농도를 측정, 분석하였다. 또한 공단 중심부에 위치한 지점과 공단 외 지역 풍하 측에 위치한 인근 주거지의 환경대기(ambient air) 농도와 성분조사를 병행하여 조사지점 간의 배출특성을 분석, 공단 내와 인근 대기질의 VOCs의 성분과 농도 특성을 비교하였다. 분석된 측정자료에 의해 범용적으로 사용되고 있는 수용모델을 수행하였으며, 연구결과 추정된 배출기여도 분석은 공단지역의 주요 배출원이 주변지역에 미치는 영향을 파악하여 효율적인 배출원을 관리하고 지역대기환경을 개선하기 위한 기초자료로서 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

최근 인간의 생활환경에 존재하는 유해가스 및 대기환경에 대한 관심이 고조되면서 환경유해가스를 손쉽게 감지할 수 있는 센서의 필요성이 중요하게 인식되고 있다. 그 중 암모니아 가스는 생활환경 내에 존재하는 악취성분일 뿐만 아니라 냉각기의 냉매로 사용되는 가스로써 대기 중 배출허용농도가 50ppm으로 알려져 있다. (중략)

1995년 12월 환경부는 대기환경보전법 개정법 제28조 2항에 "휘발성 유기화합물의 규제"에 관한 규정을 신설하고 1999년 1월1일부터 시행한다고 명시한 바가 있다. 그리고 환경부는 1996년 9월과 1997년 7월에 악취민원이 빈번했던 전남 여천시 여천국가공업단지와 울산의 국가공업단지 지역을 특별대책으로 지정하여 이 두 지역에 대해서는 서둘러 VOC에 대한 규제를 시작하였다.(중략)

본 연구에서 biofilter를 이용하여 $H_2S$와 styrene의 혼합가스의 제거특성을 살펴본 결과, 먼저 biofilter의 담체로서 화산석이 충분히 활용될 수 있음을 보였고, 혼합가스의 수십 또는 수백배의 높은 농도에서 EBCT을 30 sec로 하여도 100%의 제거율을 보여 본 연구에 사용된 biofilter는 악취물질 제거에 효율적으로 적용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 또한 혼합가스의 운전으로 pH는 저하되었지만 제거효율이 감소하는 현상은 발생하지 않았으며, 장기간의 운전에도 압력손실이 낮아 역세척이나 nutrient 공급을 조절할 필요가 없었다.

최근 인구증가와 더불어 도시화, 산업화 및 생활수준의 향상으로 인해 가정 및 사업장 등에서 배출되는 음식물쓰레기의 발생량이 급속하게 증가함으로써 쓰레기처리에 따른 비용절감과 효율적인 폐기물 처리방법들이 중요시되어지고 있다. 현재 우리 나라에서 쓰레기처리법으로 가장 많이 활용되고 있는 기술은 매립이다. 그러나 매립처리는 유기물이나 유해물질의 유출 및 악취발생 등 매립장 인근에 환경을 오염시키고 있다. (중략)
