In order to investigate the abundance and transboundary fluxes of air pollutants over the Yellow Sea, airborne measurements were made aboard the SF-600 aircraft (Pan-Asia Engineering) in March, 1996. The data presented in this paper are preliminary results and airborne experiment will be carried out until 1999. The vertical profile of relevant meteorological parameters such as temperature, water vapor, wind direction and wind speed were also observed at Taean. Mixing layer height was about 1000~1100m during the flights. The SO$_2$ and NO$_{x}$ concentrations were 3~6 ppb and 5~7 ppb below 1000 m, within 1 ppb and 3~5 ppb at 1000~2000m, respectively. Backward trajectory analyses were also carried out. A mathematical method by Lelieveld et al.(1989) was used to estimate the flux of air pollutants through the planetary boundary layer of Yellow Sea area. Transboundary fluxes were calculated using the measurement results with respect to the pollutants concentration, depth of the planetary boundary layer, wind speed and wind direction. The estimated transboundary flux of SO$_2$through the western boundary of Korea was about 39~42 tons/hour.r.

In this study, the computer code for the optimal design of road tunnel ventilation system based on one-dimensional analysis of the air flow was developed. The control volume method was used to calculate the air velocities and the concentration distribution of pollutants(CO, NOx, Particulate) for various tunnel ventilation system. This code was validated by comparing the calculation results to the practical design data for the road tunnel ventilation system. The calculation results were in accord with the practical design data.

산업화 및 차량 증가 등에 의해 우리나라 대부분의 지역의 대기오염 농도는 지난 세기 동안 꾸준히 증가하여 왔다 특정 지역에서 나타나는 대기오염 농도는 특정 배출원에 기인한 인위적 오염 농도와 그 지역의 자연 배출원 등에 의한 배경농도의 합으로 결정되므로 해당지역의 오염 영향의 평가나 대기질 관리 대책을 수립함에 있어 배경농도에 관한 정보를 얻는 것은 중요하다. (중략)

우리 사회가 중국으로부터 오염물질 이동을 주목하기 시작한 것은 국지 오염 중심의 아황산가스, 먼지 등 1차 오염이 어느 정도 해결된 1990년대 초반 이후이다. 1992년 환경부 선도기술개발사업으로 산성비 감시 및 예측기술개발이 시작되고 1995년부터 국립환경연구원 주도로 배경농도 지역에서 미세입자 측정이 진행되면서 국내의 장거리 이동대기오염물질 연구는 점차 자리를 잡게 되었다. (중략)

한반도를 위시한 동북아 지역은 급속한 산업 및 경제적 활동 증가로 세계의 주요 오염지역으로 대두되고 있다. 대기오염물질의 이동확산은 어느 특정지역에서 광범위하게 확산되기 때문에 이에 따른 오염과 피해 사이에 시간과 공간적인 차이가 존재하고 있으며 인과관계도 불명확한 상황이다. 매년 봄 한반도를 위시한 동북아지역에 중국, 만주 등지를 기원으로 하는 황사가 빈번하게 발생되고 있고 황사와 함께 이동되는 대기오염물질들 역시 강한 서풍기류에 의해 북태평양까지 이동할 만큼 장거리 이동현상도 발생되고 있다. (중략)

The work of hairdressers includes washing, coloring, bleaching, permanent waving, conditioning, and cutting hair. Hairdressers are subjected to a number of physical and toxicological hazards. The toxicological hazards are those resulting from exposure to a wide range of chemicals that are usually classified active processes. In this study, twenty beauty shops were selected to assess the exposure to indoor air pollutants such as VOCs and particulate matter $(PM_{10})$ during one month from September 1 to September 30, 2003. Indoor air quality of beauty shops might be worse by vehicle emissions because the beauty shops were generally located near roadways. Personal exposures to VOCs and $PM_{10}$ were related to indoor concentrations of beauty shops. According to the questionnaire, hairdressers complained of sore throat, eye irritation, and nervousness as physical symptoms. The measured mean concentrations of respiratory particulates were $30.5ng/m^3$ in indoor, $30.5ng/m^3$ in outdoor and $44.0ng/m^3$ on personal levels. The personal concentration was found higher than indoor and outdoor concentrations. The heavy metals mean concentrations were shown as indoor (Na>Zn>Cr), outdoor (Cr>Zn>Pb), and personal (Na>Cr>Zn) levels. Conclusively, customers as well as workers in the beauty shops might be highly exposed to air pollutants from indoor and outdoor sources. Therefore, proper management should be taken to improve the indoor air quality in beauty shops.

This pilot study focuses on emissions characterization of air pollutants produced from incineration of some municipal solid wastes (MSWs). The MSWs incinerated by an electric furnace maintained up to $600^{\circ}C$ included food, paper, and plastic wastes. The pollutants analyzed in this study included concentrations of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), bottom ash contents, and heavy metals extracted from the bottom ash of each waste. The VOCs identified were classified based on their chemical structure. The total emissions of VOCs produced from incineration of the papers were identified as the highest followed by those from the plastics and the food wastes. Aliphatic alkenes were major VOC compounds produced from incineration of plastic or food wastes, while furans were major VOCs produced from incineration of papers. The second major VOCs produced from incineration of food, plastics, and papers were aromatics. In particular, hazardous air pollutants such as benzene were produced with considerable amount of emission concentration. The bottom ash contents of papers were usually much higher than those of food or plastic wastes. The bottom ash contents produced from incineration of food and plastics were much lower than those of other MSWs. In analysis of heavy metals extracted by an ultrasonic method from the bottom ashes of the papers, high concentrations of heavy metals were identified from incineration of newspapers and box (cardboard). In addition, it was identified that the general public might be exposed to considerable amounts of lead concentrations during incineration processes and uses of paper cup and from ashes.

This study analyzed indoor air pollutants from elementary school with different environment. Air sampling and measurement were carried out from classrooms and hallways from three target elementary schools in the fall and winter seasons. The winter average concentrations of $PM_{10}$, $CO_2$, CO, aldehydes and ketones, and benzene were higher than the fall ones. The fall average concentrations of $O_3$ and $NO_2$ were higher than the winter ones. The concentrations of $PM_{10}$ and $CO_2$ at the schools near the heavy traffic areas and having poor ventilation were higher than those from the other elementary school. The average concentration of CO at the school having heavy traffic volume was highest. The concentrations of $O_3$, $NO_2$, aldehydes and ketones, and VOCs at the school near the shipbuilding industries were highest among the three elementary schools.

This study aims to suggest wastewater treatment options for diaper recycling by identifying characteristic analysis of wastewater from diaper recycling process and efficiency evaluation of wastewater treatment units. The wastewater characteristic analysis showed that the concentration of organic pollutants and ionic materials were very high comparing to seawater. Through the investigation of similar wastewater treatment, six treatment units were identified to reduce pollutants. It is found UF(ultra-filtration), DAF(dissolved air flotation), fenton oxidation, electro-coagulation and chemical-coagulation are effective in reducing organic pollutants while membrane system and ion exchanger are effective in reducing ionic materials. Even though the target of water quality should be secured in terms of managing organic pollutants level, the application of treatment unit for reducing ionic material needs lots of considerations. This result suggests that reuse of pulping wastewater after controlling organic pollutants is better than direct discharge of pulping wastewater. To select the appropriate wastewater treatment unit, an economic analysis about operation condition, wastewater flow, cost, efficiency should be considered.
