Ground-level ozone affects human health and plant growth. Ozone is produced by chemical reactions between oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from anthropogenic and biogenic sources. In this study, two different land cover and emission factor datasets were input to the MEGAN v2.1 emission model to examine how these parameters contribute to the biogenic emissions and ozone production. Four input sensitivity scenarios (A, B, C and D) were generated from land cover and vegetation emission factors combination. The effects of BVOCs emissions by scenario were also investigated. From air quality modeling result using CAMx, maximum 1 hour ozone concentrations were estimated 62 ppb, 60 ppb, 68 ppb, 65 ppb, 55 ppb for scenarios A, B, C, D and E, respectively. For maximum 8 hour ozone concentration, 57 ppb, 56 ppb, 63 ppb, 60 ppb, and 53 ppb were estimated by scenario. The minimum difference by land cover was up to 25 ppb and by emission factor that was up to 35 ppb. From the modeling performance evaluation using ground ozone measurement over the six regions (East Seoul, West Seoul, Incheon, Namyangju, Wonju, and Daegu), the model performed well in terms of the correlation coefficient (0.6 to 0.82). For the 4 urban regions (East Seoul, West Seoul, Incheon, and Namyangju), ozone simulations were not quite sensitive to the change of BVOC emissions. For rural regions (Wonju and Daegu) , however, BVOC emission affected ozone concentration much more than previously mentioned regions, especially in case of scenario C. This implies the importance of biogenic emissions on ozone production over the sub-urban to rural regions.

The amount of pollutants from stationary sources of businesses classified into 1-3 type in Gyeongju was found to be 0.70 ton/yr for PM-10, 13.95 ton/yr for $SO_2$, and 37.12 ton/yr for NOx ; with respect to area sources, 1.02 ton/yr for PM-10, 13.44 ton/yr for $SO_2$, and 21.10 ton/yr for NOx ; and with respect to mobile sources 963.91 ton/yr for PM-10, 1415.02 ton/yr for $SO_2$, and 5612.70 ton/yr for NOx. This study surveyed the concentration distribution of PM-10, $SO_2$, and NO2 in the air in around Gyeongju and Pohang, and found that high concentration was mainly distributed around Pohang Steel Industrial Complex and the around of mobile sources. In Gyeongju area, $SO_2$ was predicted to increase from 0.002 ppm in 2006 to 0.005 ppm in 2015, and that of $NO_2$ was predicted to increase from 0.004 ppm to 0.010 ppm during the same period. At this point, practicing guidelines to reduce air pollutants and management plan for environmental pollutants should be devised, and also practicing and management programs to protect the stone cultural properties from environmental pollutants and other chemical, physical, and biological factors should be actively introduced.

분진은 그 안에 Pb, Cr, Cd, Zn등 각종 중금속 및 유해물질을 함유하고 있으며(Jaenicke, R., 1988), 이러한 조성은 분진의 발생원과 밀접한 관련이 있다. 또한, 분진의 물리, 화학적 특징들은 대기로의 배출정도나 화학적 변형 외에도 기상학적 인자들에 의해 영향을 받는다(Karakas와 Tuncel, 1997). 이러한 분진들은 최종적으로 지상에 낙하할때의 분진으로서 비교적 크기가 큰 강하분진과, 입자가 미세하고 가벼워서 좀처럼 침강하기 어려워 장기간 대기중에 떠 다니는 부유분진으로 나눌수 있으며, 이 중 강하분진은 대기중의 오염물질 중 자기 중량에 의해 또는 우적에 포함되어 침강하는 매연 및 분진과 그 외 불순물로서, 그 측정치는 일정지역에 있어서의 오염변동을 나타내고 지역적 비교의 지표로서 이용되고 있다(김은경등, 1996)(중략)

대기 중에는 $CO_2$, CH$_4$ 및 $H_2O$$_2$ 등 온실효과를 일으키는 가스가 포함되어 있고, 이들은 지구의 기온을 일정 수준으로 유지시켜 줌으로써 인간가 동식물에게 살기 좋은 환경을 제공한다. 그러나 산업 혁명 이후 화석 연료 및 화학 물질 사용 증가에 따라 $CO_2$, NOx 및 CFC, VOC 등의 온실가스는 다양한 경로를 통하여 대기 중으로 배출되고 이것은 지구 온난화의 원인이 되고 있다.(중략)

National and international regulations on the exhaust gases of diesel engines are being strengthened, and a study of the combutsion engine and the post-porcessing system are in progress as a variety of ways. There are many techniques for the removal of nitrogen oxide like HC-SCR, LNT, Urea-SCR. And the technical development on the Urea-SCR owing to high conversion efficiency and fuel economy characteristics has being processed. This study investigated the physical/chemical properties of urea according to the change of the urea content, and were analysed the characteristic of exhaust gas. According to the increase of urea content, the contests of biuret aldehyde, phosphate content was increased and the changes of emission quantity of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and particulate matter in the exhaust gas was very slight. The emission quantity of NOx was decreased in accordance with increasing the urea content and it was shown to be more than 80 % in the urea solution having more than 30 wt%.

This paper presents a waste load allocation study for the Incheon coastal environment, where a computer model, called AQUASEA, was applied. A finite element mesh was constructed and refined to cover the complicated geometry of Incheon coastal sea. The tidal height at 13 places of Incheon coastal boundary and flow of the Han River were given as an input condition to the tidal simulation. All pollution sources that discharge into Incheon coast were given as input data to the water quality simulation. The modeled parameters include tidal flow and COD(Chemical Oxygen Demand). The model was calibrated and verified with the field measurements. The model results showed reasonable agreements with field measurements in both tidal flow and water quality. Systems analysis showed that the pollution load from the Han River caused recognizable impacts on the water quality of Incheon coast from Yeomhwa waterway to northern area of Younghungdo. The loads from Incheon City affected water quality from the area below Youngjongdo to the area above Jawalldo. The discharge from the Sihwa Lake caused discernible impacts on the coastal zone from the dike outlet to the Incheon harbor, and pollution loads from Kyungkido affected the sea near the Oido. An effective water quality management plan was developed from the waste load allocation analysis of the validated model, that the maximum waste loads can be discharged without violating the water quality standard given in the Incheon coastal environment.

As the landfill ban of food waste has enforced since 2005, the composition of municipal solid waste(MSW) has changed dramatically. In this 2 year study, MSW in a small city has collected 3 times at 10 different generating points, and physico-chemical analysis has done. From the result, the effect of landfill ban of food waste on the physico-chemical properties of MSW was described. Landfill ban of food waste has reduced by 12 weight % in the composition of food waste in MSW, and has reduced by 25 % of bulk density. After landfill ban of food waste, water content of MSW has reduced to 32.3%, which is reduced by 14.1 % of water content of year 2004 data. Low heating value of MSW after landfill ban was 2991.4kcal/kg, which has increased 32% than that of year 2004 data. From landfill gas generation modeling, it is estimated that the yearly generation rate of landfill gas will be reduced by 5% than in case of accepting food waste into the landfill.

농경지에서의 액비 수요는 최근 증가하고 있으나 적정 액비시비량에 대한 기준과 사후 관리에 대한 명확한 기준이 없어 환경문제에 대한 고찰이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 시험포장을 선정하고 논에서의 질소 및 인의 동태를 모니터링하고, 관개수, 침투수, 및 배출수 중 영양물질의 부하량을 평가하였다. 시험구는 대조구(화학비료 표준시비구, A)와 양돈분뇨액비 표준시비처리구(B)로 구성하였으며, 기상관측 측정을 위하여 자동기상관측기, 유입량, 유출량 측정을 위한 계측장비를 각 처리구별로 설치하였다. 담수의 경우 B 처리구에서 시비 시기별로 영양물질의 수질 농도가 첨둣값을 보여주었으며 평균적으로 높게 나타났다. 대표 이벤트 중 6월 25-26일 강우에 따른 유출수의 분석결과는 액비의 영향으로 T-N 및 T-P의 경우 초기 강우시 상대적으로 높게 나타났다. 7월 21-22일 강우 분석 결과는 T-N, T-P(50배)가 상대적으로 높은 분포를 보여주었다. 침투량은 많으나 수질변화는 처리구별로 유의한 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 부하량은 각 이벤트별 10분 간격의 유량 측정과 30분 및 1시간 간격(첨두 이후 탄력적 적용)으로 수질 모니터링을 실시하였다. B 처리구에서 부하량이 전체적으로 높게 나타났으며, T-N의 경우 2.2배, 그리고 T-P의 경우 6.6배 높게 나타났다. 2015년까지의 데이터는 평년대비 강수량의 부족으로 추가적인 데이터 축적을 통한 분석이 필요하며 이를 바탕으로 원단위 부하량을 평가할 계획이다. 또한 본 연구는 액비시용에 따른 농경지에서의 영양물질 유출에 따른 관리방안 개발을 위한 연구로 지속적인 모니터링을 통하여, 향후 새만금 유역내 축산밀집지역에서 나타날 수 있는 축산분뇨 관리정책 개발의 기초자료로 활용될 것으로 기대한다.

Carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) is the greatest contributor among the major greenhouse gases covered by the Kyoto Protocol. Therefore, substantial efforts for the control and reduction of $CO_2$ emissions, including increased efficiency of fossil fuel energy usage, development of energy sources with lower carbon content, and increased reliability on alternative energy sources, are being performed worldwide. However, development and industrial application of $CO_2$ sequestration techniques are needed to meet the requirements of the Kyoto Protocol. Among the $CO_2$ sequestration methods developed, geological sequestration methods such as the storage in deep aquifers, deep coal seams and oil and gas reservoirs and the mineral carbonation is considered most favorable because of its stability and environmental effectiveness. In this review, geochemical concepts and technologic development of geologic sequestration technology, especially the storage in deep aquifers and the mineral carbonation, are discussed. The weakness and strengths for each of geologic sequestration methods, are also reviewed.
