Many previous studies have focused on revealing the harmfulness of microplastic particles, whereas very few studies have focused on the effects of chemicals, particularly photooxidation product. In this study, products of photodegradation from expanded polystyrene (EPS), compounds produced by photolysis by ultraviolet (UV) light, were investigated. EPS was directly irradiated and photolyzed using a UV lamp, and then the extracted sample was analyzed using high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). Multiple ionization techniques, including electrospray ionization, atmospheric pressure chemical ionization, and atmospheric pressure photoionization, were used. In total, >300 compounds were observed, among which polystyrene monomer, dimer, and oxidized products were observed. In this work, the data presented clearly demonstrate that it is necessary to identify and monitor oxidized plastic compounds and assess their effect on the environment.

Light is a major external environmental factor that influences the circadian rhythm of photosynthetic organisms and various physiological phenomena, such as growth, maturation, and behavior. The number of light-reaching organisms changes depending on the season and atmospheric conditions, and the intensity and wavelength of light differ depending on the organisms inhabiting the environment. Altered light changes the circadian rhythm of fish, which is controlled by clock genes, such as period 2 (Per2), cryptochrome 1 (Cry1), and melatonin. In this study, we set the zeitgeber time (ZT; 14 light-10 dark, LD) based on the actual sunrise and sunset times and examined Per2 and Cry1 activities, levels of aralkylamine N-acetyltransferase (AANAT), and melatonin in Pholis nebulosa, a drifting seaweed species exposed to irregular light. Per2 and Cry1 levels increased during the daytime and decreased after sunset. The AANAT levels decreased during the daytime and increased during the night. Melatonin concentration was highest around midnight (ZT21, 23:30), but exhibited similar concentrations during the daytime. While the activity of Per2, Cry1, and AANAT levels exhibited a typical circadian rhythm observed in most vertebrates, melatonin concentrations did not show a significant difference between the daytime and nighttime. These findings provide insights into the circadian rhythm patterns of organisms exposed to irregular light environments, such as P. nebulosa, which differ from those of typical fish species.

The impacts of ice clouds on the energy budget of the Earth and their representation in climate models have been identified as important and unsolved problems. Ice clouds consist almost exclusively of non-spherical ice crystals with various shapes and sizes. To determine the influences of ice clouds on solar and infrared radiation as required for remote sensing retrievals and numerical models, knowledge of scattering and microphysical properties of ice crystals is required. A conventional method for representing the radiative properties of ice clouds in satellite retrieval algorithms and numerical models is to combine measured microphysical properties of ice crystals from field campaigns and pre-calculated single-scattering libraries of different shapes and sizes of ice crystals, which depend heavily on microphysical and scattering properties of ice crystals. However, large discrepancies between theoretical calculations and observations of the radiative properties of ice clouds have been reported. Electron microscopy images of ice crystals grown in laboratories and captured by balloons show varying degrees of complex morphologies in sub-micron (e.g., surface roughness) and super-micron (e.g., inhomogeneous internal and external structures) scales that may cause these discrepancies. In this study, the current idealized models representing morphologies of ice crystals and the corresponding numerical methods (e.g., geometric optics, discrete dipole approximation, T-matrix, etc.) to calculate the single-scattering properties of ice crystals are reviewed. Current problems and difficulties in the calculations of the single-scattering properties of atmospheric ice crystals are addressed in terms of cloud microphysics. Future directions to develop physically consistent ice-crystal models are also discussed.

상압플라즈마 공정을 이용하여 $TiO_2$ 박막의 표면을 개질하고 광촉매 활성을 평가하였다. $TiO_2$ 박막은 $TiO_2$ 졸-겔 용액에서 유리판에 dip-coating법으로 코팅한 후 소성 온도와 소성 시간을 변화시켜 가면서 제조하였다. 표면 개질에 사용된 플라즈마는 질소 플라즈마였으며, 방전전력, 처리시간 등의 공정변수를 변화시키면서 실험을 수행하였다. 광촉매 활성은 UV-A와 형광등 하에서의 메틸렌 블루 분해효율을 바탕으로 평가하였다. XPS 분석 결과, 박막의 표면에 소량의 질소가 도핑되었음을 알 수 있었으며, 광촉매 효율은 UV-A와 형광등 하에서 모두 증가하였고, 특히 형광등 하에서 좀 더 증가하였다.

Various devices have been developed to the measurement of particulate matter pollutants, and Optical Particle Counter (OPC) that can be easily and quickly measured is widely used lately. The measured value by OPC is converted to weight concentration using the correction factor (CF). The calculation of CF is very important to improve the reliability and accuracy of OPC. In this study, the CF calculation study of light scattering laser photometer (model 8533, TSI) was carried out to measure in the atmospheric environment using 2 gravimetric devices and 3 light scattering laser photometer devices. Regression analysis and Tukey tests were used to significance the test of measurement devices. Measurements were carried out twice. There was a comparative analysis of measurement data between light scattering laser photometer and gravimetric devices in 1st measurement, and then the Evaluation of PM2.5 concentration corrected by CF performed in 2nd measurement. As a result of the significance analysis between light scattering laser photometer and gravimetric devices, the correlation between the same method was high, but the correlation between different methods was low. CF was calculated as 0.4258 based on the measurement results, and it is a similar level to previous studies at home and abroad. It is expected that these results can be used as basic data in the future study for air quality measurement research using light scattering laser photometer. Also, in order to improve the accuracy of the measurement techniques and the development of technology in the atmospheric environment, CF calculation research should be conducted continuously.

본 연구는 대기 중 $CO_2$ 농도의 증가가 배추(B. campestris subsp. napus var. pekinensis)의 광합성과 생리적 특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하여 미래의 대기중 $CO_2$ 농도 증가로 인한 고랭지 배추의 생산성을 예측해 보고자 수행하였다. 대기 $CO_2$ 농도를 달리하여 배추를 5주 동안 재배하였을 때, 지상부 생체량, 엽수, 엽면적, 엽장, 엽폭은 모두 대기 $CO_2$ 농도 조건($400{\mu}mol{\cdot}mol^{-1}$)에서 재배된 배추에서보다 고농도의 $CO_2$ 조건($800{\mu}mol{\cdot}mol^{-1}$)에서 재배된 배추에서 더 높게 나타났다. 그리고 증산률(E)이 다소 낮았지만, $CO_2$ 고정률(A), 기공전도도($g_s$)와 수분이용효율(WUE)도 고농도의 $CO_2$에서 높았다. 최대광합성률($A_{max}$)은 대조구인 대기 중 $CO_2$ 농도에서 보다 고농도의 $CO_2$ 조건에서 2.2배 더 높았다. 광보상점($Q_{comp}$)은 대조구에서보다 고농도의 $CO_2$ 조건에서 다소 낮았다. 순양자수율(${\varphi}$)은 고농도의 $CO_2$ 조건에서 재배된 배추에서 높았다. 그러나, $CO_2$반응곡선으로부터 얻은 광호흡률($R_p$), 최대카르복실화속도($V_{cmax}$), $CO_2$ 보상점(CCP), 최대전자전달률($J_{max}$), 탄소고정효율(ACE) 등은 $CO_2$ 농도에 따라서 차이가 없거나 있더라도 미미하였다. 그리고, 광계II의 최대 광화학적 효율($F_v/F_m$)과 잠재적 광합성능($F_v/F_o$)이 $CO_2$ 농도에 따라 유의한 차이를 보이지 않아 고농도 $CO_2$ 조건이 고랭지 재배시 배추의 생육에 스트레스로 작용하지 않는 것으로 보인다. 배추의 광합성을 위한 최적 온도는 고농도 $CO_2$에서 $2^{\circ}C$ 정도 더 높았으며, 최적온도 이상의 조건에서는 대기 $CO_2$와 고농도 $CO_2$에서 모두 $CO_2$ 고정률은 감소하고 암호흡은 증가하는 양상을 보였다. 이상의 결과로부터 미래의 대기 중 $CO_2$ 증가는 고랭지 재배시 배추의 생육에 있어서 스트레스 요인으로 작용하지는 않으며 수광량의 증가가 생산성을 향상시킬 것으로 보인다.

Many important physical properties of natural or man-made aerosol particles such as light scattering, electrostatics charges, and toxicity, as well as their behavior involving physical processes like diffusion and thermophoresis depend strongly on their size distribution. Important aerosol behavior mechanisms affecting the size distribution of aerosol particles include condensation, deposition, and coagulation. (omitted)
