알데히드류는 실내의 다양한 오염원에서 발생되어 하루의 대부분을 실내에서 보내고 있는 현대인들에게 건강상 영향을 미치는 것으로 알려져 관심의 대상이 되어왔으며, 특히, 포름알데히드는 발암성 물질로 알려진 대표적인 실내 환경 오염 물질이기도 하다(Zhang junfeng et al., 1999). 포름알데히드는 urea 또는 phenol-formaldehyde 수지를 합성하는 주요 물질이며, 건축물 단열재, 가구의 염료 및 광택제, 접착제, 합판, particle board, 악취 제거제, 제지, 가스 스토브, 담배연기, 화장용품, 세제등 생활 용품에서 공업용품에 이르기까지 광범위하게 사용되며, 그 사용량도 증가되고 있다(Thomas J. Kelly et al., 1999). (중략)

지구상의 대기환경 중에 가스상의 형태로 존재하는 황화합물은 크게 두 가지 유형으로 분류된다. 인류의 산업활동과 같은 여러 유형의 인위적 배출원을 통해 배출되는 황화합물의 절대적인 부분을 차지하며 가스상 산화물의 형태로 존재하는 이산화황과 같은 성분은 인위적 기원의 황성분을 대표한다 (Spiro et al., 1992). 그런데 이들과 달리 자연적인 조건에서 생물활동의 결과로 지구의 대기환경 중으로 유입되는 황화합물들은 그 종류가 다양할 뿐 아니라, 산화도가 낮은 환원황화합물 (reduced sulfur compounds)의 형태로 존재한다.

최근에 산업화와 도시화 등으로 인해 대기오염이 날로 중요한 문제로 대두되고 있다. 대부분의 오염물질은 그 종류와 발생원이 복잡, 다양할 뿐만 아니라 시료의 채취와 분석방법에 내재된 기술적 어려움이 많은 실정이다(Evans et al., 1992). 환경으로 배출되는 페놀 화합물은 주로 산업지역에서 배출되며, 음용수에 의한 오염도 보고되어 있어, 빠르고 선택적인 방법이 요구되고 있는 실정이다(Karen et al., 1994). 현재 대기오염공정시험방법의 제 16항 페놀 화합물의 분석방법은 화학반응 등에 의해 굴뚝에서 배출되는 고농도 배출가사에만 치중되어 있어(환경부, 1998), 대기중에 존재하는 미량 페놀을 분석적용하기에는 한계점이 있다.

일반시민의 생활수준 향상에 따른 자동차의 중가와 각종 산업분야의 산업활동 증가는 대기중 휘발성 유기화합물(Volatile Organic Compounds;이하 VOCs)의 증가를 가져왔다. VOCs는 오존층 파괴 및 지구 온난화 가중, 광화학스모그 생성 등 환경적 측면과 발암성 및 유전독성을 내포하여 인체에 영향을 주는 것으로 알려져 그 중요성이 부각되고 있다. 특히 공단지역의 VOCs 및 악취 둥 오염피해는 90년대 후반부터 규제가 강화되어, 여천과 울산공업단지의 경우 VOCs의 특별대책지역으로 규제되어 있다. (중략)

은의 항균작용은 예로부터 알려져 왔는데, 특히 천연섬유에 기생하는 세균(bacteria)과 곰팡이(fungi) 등의 미생물을 제거하여 질병유발, 악취, 제품의 오염 방지에 효과적이다. 은은 다른 가공제와 달리 소량으로 항미생물 효과를 얻을 수 있으므로 나노 사이즈의 은 입자를 농도별로 면직물에 처리하고 세탁에 대한 내구성을 알아보고자 하였다. 이에 따라, 소량으로도 항미생물 효과를 나타내는 최적의 공정을 구하고 은입자가 균일하게 처리되는 조건에서 가공제의 내세탁성을 조사하였다. (중략)

This study evaluated the degradation efficiency of malodorous sulfurized-organic compounds by utilizing N- and Sdoped titanium dioxide under visible-light irradiation, and examined the catalyst deactivation and regeneration. Catalyst surface was characterized by employing Fourier-Transform-Infrared-Red (FTIR) spectra. The visible-light-driven photocatalysis techniques were able to efficiently degrade low-level dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) with degradation efficiencies exceeding 97%, whereas they were not effective regarding the removal of high-level DMS and DMDS, with degradation efficiencies of 84 and 23% within 5 hrs of photocatalytic processes. As compared with DMS, DMDS which containes one more sulfur element revealed quick catalyst deactivation. Catalyst deactivation was confirmed by the equality between input and output concentrations of DMD or DMDS, the obsevation of no $CO_2$ generation during a photocatalytic process, and the FTIR spectrum peaks related with sulfur ion compounds, which are major byproducts formed on catalyst surfaces. The mineralization efficiency of DMS at 8 ppm, which was a peak value during a photocatalytic process, was calculated as 144%, exceeding 100%. The catalyst regenerated by high-temperature calcination exhibited higher catalyst recovery efficiency (53 and 58% for DMDS and DMS, respectively) as compared with dry-air and humid-air regeneration processes. However, even the calcined method was unable to totally regenerate deactivated catalysts.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of storage time of manure on the concentration of odorous compounds. Levels of odorous compounds were measured from manure incubated in $20^{\circ}C$ for 6 wk in pilot chamber whose structure is similar to slurry pit. Levels of short chain fatty acids were decreased (p<0.05) by 4,159, 1,925, 844, and 483 ppm as storage time increased as 0, 2, 4, and 6wk, respectively. Transfatty acid level was not changed for 2wk but decreased (p<0.05) afterwards (levels were 250, 248, 151, and 61 ppm at 0, 2, 4, 6wk, respectively). Levels of phenol compounds were decreased (p<0.05) by 68, 48, 26, and 9 as storage time increased as 0, 2, 4, 6wk, respectively. Phenol concentration was increased whereas p-cresol level was decreased as storage time increased showing ratios of phenol and p-cresol were 6:94, 34:66, 51:49, and 67:33 at 0, 2, 4, and 6wk, respectively. Concentration of indole compounds was not different for 2wk but increased (p<0.05) after 4wk. The ratios of indole and skatole were 71:29, 42:58, 28:72, and 36:64 at 0, 2, 4, and 6wk, respectively. Skatole concentration was increased as storage time increased. Therefore, our current results indicate that levels of volatile fatty acid and phenol compounds were deceased but indole compounds were increased as manure storage time was increased.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of microbial complex diets on improvement of air quality in finishing pig building. Ammonia and hydrogen sulfide concentrations were significantly(p<0.05) decreased by dietary supplementation of 0.1% level of microbial complex compared with those of control according to the time in the finishing pig building. Characteristics of piggery liquid slurry that total nitrogen and $NH_3-N$ of treatment were reduced relatively compared with those of control, and were decreased depending on the time. In conclusion, the result obtained from this study suggest that the dietary supplementation of microbial complex for finishing pigs may improve environment in the finishing pig building.

The characteristics of ammonia generated from alkaline stabilization facilities was investigated which are for organic sewage sludge from wastewater treatment plants. The highest concentration of ammonia was found in mixing and curing process in alkaline stabilization facility and ammonia mainly showed a range of 87.78 ppm($66.62mg/m^3$) to 1,933 ppm($1,467.01mg/m^3$) by detection tube. This is presumed to occur because nitrogen oxides are converted into ammonia as the sewage sludge is mixed with lime. In some facilities, hydrogen sulfide and methyl mercaptan were detected in relatively high concentrations, but odor materials except ammonia were not detected in most of the facilities. The concentration of ammonia caused by process was generally high in the order of "mixing > curing > output > storage > drying > input." It was found that odor compounds are removed by wet absorption using sulfuric acid and sodium hypochlorite in the 5 alkaline stabilization facilities currently in operation. Each facility was designed to meet the concentration of after-treatment emission in 1 ppm($0.76mg/m^3$), 50 ppm($37.95mg/m^3$) or 100 ppm($75.89mg/m^3$), but no facility satisfied the design standard for their emssion limit. In case of ammonia, some workplaces in alkaline stabilization facilities exceeded the exposure limits established by the Ministry of Labor. It appears that proper ventilation should be provided for the safety of workers in future. No odor compound including ammonia was found by detection tubes in the border of the facilities, but trace amounts of odor compounds are expected to exist, given the current operational status of facilities.

This study was carried out to investigate the style of livestock house, concentration of malodorous substances of livestock feces and livestock houses in Daejeon area. Among the livestock houses investigated, as most of cow pens(94.5%) have sawdust or chaff on the bottom, there was no leakage of feces out of pen. Most pig pens adopted slury style, but some of them currently use buffering material on the bottom. It is thought that there will be no possible contamination leakage. When it comes to hen house, all the broiler house use litters on the bottom and all the layer house use scrapper. It is also thought that there will be no possible contamination leakage. 3 out of 12 deer pens used buffering material on the bottom, 10 places were maintained in a traditional method, and 7 places left possibility of contamination leakage considering whether the roof was installed or not. The contents of ammonia, amine and volatile fatty acid in fresh feces were lower compared to rotten feces, but the concentration of sulfur-containing matter - hydrogen sulfide, methylmercapthan and ethylmercapthan were higher compared to rotten feces. In the case of malodorous ingredient in livestock houses, only small amount of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide were detected in pig pen and hen house, and other ingredients were not detectable. And those who are engaged in animal husbandry reacted negatively to the use of feed additives for decreasing malodor. In conclusion, it is not worrisome that contamination can be leaked out of animal raising facilities. But if we take into consideration that the point of investigation time is wintry season, there should be more considerate attitude. And feed additives for decreasing malodor need establishing criteria in the manufacturing process.
