매년 3 ∼ 5월 사이에 아시아 대륙 및 내륙의 건조지대에서 발생하는 모래 먼지 바람에 의해 비산되어 오는 황사현상이 자주 관측되고 있다. 최근 황사는 지구온난화와 토양의 사막화 등에 의해 발원지가 계속 확대되고, 발생빈도 역시 증가하고 있으며, 서해안에 인접한 중국의 북동부 공업지역에서 방출되는 오염물질까지 황사에 실려와 심각한 국내의 오염 문제 및 국제 문제로 부각되고 있다. (중략)

In the case of a severe accident of a nuclear power plant, the whole body dose and the relative importance of the radionuclides during the lifetime of an exposed person were estimated for each exposure pathway with distances from the release point. The external exposure pathways due to immersion of radioactive cloud and deposition of radioactive materials on the ground, and the internal exposure pathways due to inhalation and ingestion of contaminated foodstuffs were considered. The effects due to the ingestion of contaminated foodstuffs were estimated considering the variation of radioactive concentration in the foodstuffs according to deposition time and elapsed time after deposition using a dynamic ingestion pathway model applicable to Korean environment, named 'KORFOOD'. As the results up to 80 km from the release point, the effects due to ingestion of contaminated foodstuffs showed the highest contribution to total exposure dose. The contribution of I isotopes was the highest in the case of the external dose due to immersion of radioactive cloud and internal dose due to inhalation. The contribution of Cs isotopes was highest in the case of the external dose due to deposition of radioactive materials on the ground. In the case of the internal dose due to ingestion of contaminated foodstuffs, Cs deposition in summer and Sr deposition in winter, respectively, were the most dominant radionuclide to whole body.

Recently, It has been much interest in modular housing construction. so, The purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristics of the indoor air quality in modular mock-up housing. We measured indoor air quality(formaldehyde, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene, styrene) of two modular mock-up units that built-in furniture is installed and uninstalled. As a result, the pollutants of built-in furniture installed unit were emitted more than built-in furniture uninstalled unit. But after bake-out and ventilation, emission concentrations of two modular mock-up units were similar and were below Indoor Air Quality recommendation standards. Built-in furniture is likely to affect the emission concentration of toluene

도시 내에는 한정된 공간에서의 토사의 비산먼지, 해염입자 등 자연 발생원에서 유래하는 오염물질과 각종 화학물질 사용증가, 도시의 인구 집중화, 산업 및 난방시설과 자동차 교통량의 증가 등 인위적인 발생원에서 유래하는 많은 오염물질들이 다량으로 대기중에 방출되어 대기질이 악화되고 있다. 먼지는 입경에 따라 크게 2가지로 구분할 수 있다. 즉 공기중에 부유하고 입경이 작은 부유먼지와 입경이 크고 자연상태로 지상에 낙하하는 강하먼지가 있다. (중략)

Wastewater is released from leather, textile, paint, wood, or dye processing industries as well as petroleum refining industries. Wastewater from these industries contains water pollutant such as heavy metals and nitrogen compounds and has high chemical oxygen demand (COD). While there various filtering pollutants from wastewater for safe disposal, membrane-based technology is one of the most efficient methods for its high efficiency and low cost. Among various membranes, zeolite membranes gain spotlight for its cost-effectiveness and have undergone a lot of research. This review is focused on recent progress in zeolite membrane for wastewater treatment in following order: i) wastewater treatment, ii) microfiltration membrane, iii) hollow fiber membrane, and iv) ultrafiltration membrane.

The Korean construction industry has been implementing G-SEED, a certification system that evaluates the environmental properties of buildings for the purpose of reducing environmental burdens such as energy and resource consumption and pollutant emissions. Also, creating a pleasant environment in general is one more purpose of G-SEED certification system. However, G-SEED certification in practice is difficult and time consuming due to the complexity of the certification acquisition process coupled with little economic consideration for the materials of each certification item. Therefore, in this study, we present a model for the optimal selection of materials and economic assessment using a genetic algorithm. The development of the model involves building a material database based on life-cycle costing (LCC) targeted at "Application of Indoor Air Pollutant Low Emission Material" from G-SEED. Next, the model was validated using a real non-residential building case study. The result shows an average cost reduction rate of 74.5 % compared with the existing cost. This model is expected to be used as an economically efficient tool in G-SEED.

Potassium Sorbate의 향균능력측정결과 효모(Saccharomyces cerevisiae)의 성장에 대하여 uncompetitive 기작으로 작용하였다. 열처리 실험의 결과 Potassium Sorbate는 가열온도에 대하여 Arrhenius, 또한 가열시간에 대하여 1차반응식관계로 향균능력을 잃었으며 따라서 보존제로 Potassium Sorbate를 식품에 첨가후 포장, 가열살균하는 일반 식품가공공정상에서 가열살균공정이 첨가 보존제의 잔류향균능력을 잃게 하는 것으로 나타났다. 플라스틱 film과 치즈안에서 Potassium Sorbate의 확산계수 및 확산에 의한 물질전달 현상을 수학적모델과 컴퓨터 simulation 그리고 실험에 의해 구하였다. 저밀도폴리에틸렌(LDPE)이 범용플라스틱중에서 가장 작은 확산계수를 가져 빠른 물질전달이 요구되는 film층 또는 약물저장층으로 적합한것으로 나타났다. 그외 고밀도 폴리에틸렌(HDPE)과 폴리프로필렌(PP), 폴리에스터(PET)는 느린 물질전달이 요구되는층 또는 복합다층 film에서 물질전달에 단방향성을 주는 고차단층으로 적합한것으로 나타났다. Potassium Sorbate분말과 LDPE resin분말을 섞은후 단일스크루 익스트루더로 항균성 포장 film을 제조한 결과 LDPE film의 tensile strength과 elongation, elastic modulus는 Potassium Sorbate를 3% 이상 포함할때까지 변화하지 않았다. 그러나 film의 투명도는 급격히 낮아졌다. 향균성LDPE film은 효모가 접종된 한천배지상에서 항균물질인 Potassium Sorbate를 배지위로 서서히 방출시켜 효모의 성장속도(growth rate)를 저하시키고 초기성장지체기(lag period)를 연장시킨다. 따라서 식품포장재로 적용시에 미생물의 오염을 막고 식품저장기간을 연장할것이라 여겨진다.

Outgassing from such sources as paints, coatings, adhesives and other non-metallic surfaces can contaminate satellites, especially second surface mirror and optical lens, it cause satellite to fail in own missions. The vacuum bake-out test using high temperature(more than $85 ^{\circ}C$)and high vacuum(less than $5.0{\times}1-^{-3}$ Pa) certify that the components of satellite work properly and can survive and operate in space environment like high vacuum. In the bake-out chamber installed at SITC of KARI, Rotary vacuum pump and Booster pump produce low vacuum of 5.0 Pa, and then two cryopumps produce high vacuum of below $5.0{\times}10^{-3}$ Pa. Also 48 ceramic heaters were provided to simulate high temperature. During the vacuum bake-out test, we detected contaminants using RGA(Residual Gas Analyzer) and measure the outgassing rate of the contaminant using the TQCM(Thermoelectric Quartz Crystal Microbalance). Also, IR/UV Spectrometer and witness plate be used to certify that the components were suitable for the spacecraft. This paper includes the preparation and procedures of the bake-out test for SAR(Solar Array Regulator) and MLI(Multi Layer Insulator), which were the components of the spacecraft. Especially, we discussed the methods and results of the contamination measurement. In the bake-out for SAR, the contamination was measured continuously although it was on the decrease from TQCM results. And RCA established that it is a highly polymerized compound. In the MLI bake-out using RGA and witness plate, we didn't detect any contamination materials.

$H_2SO_4$ and citric acid had higher extraction efficiency of $^{137}Cs$ from soil than the other chemicals. Thus, $H_2SO_4$and citric acid were used as additives on remediation experiment by electrokinetic method to increase removal efficiency of $^{137}Cs$ from the radioactive soil being stored during a long time. An average velocity of effluent discharged from experimental column $2.0{\times}10^{-2}$/cm/min and a volume of the discharged soil wastewater for 10 days is 3.6 Pore Volume. The 54% of a total of $^{137}Cs$ in the column was decontaminated for 10 days. Furthermore, the predicted values of residual concentration by the developed model were quite similar to those obtained from experiments.
