The urban population of our country is rapidly increasing due to many factors of social structure, and sociologists are predicting that the increase rate of the urban population will be over 50% in 1980's. Above all, the population of the capital city of Seoul, is at present more than four millions. Such centring of people in cities, together with the improvement of the standards of living, caused rapid increase in the amount of fuel consumption, and this consumption of fuels became one of the primary sources of the air pollution in cities. Moreover, the heavy traffic, construction of many tall buildings, and the increasing number of new factories due to the industrial development-all these are contributing to make the matter of air pollution worse and worse in the Metropolitan, whose geographical location is quite unfavorable considered from the view point of air pollution. Most homes in Seoul use briquet as fuel, while oils are used in tall buildings. The CO, $SO_2$, and smoke that come from burning of these fuels are a great threat to the health of the urban population. With the purpose of examining the influence of air pollution upon the public health, written inquiries were made upon respiratory diseases, and the carboxyhemoglobin saturation in the blood was measured to determine whether the air pollution may affect the health of the urban population. Method of Health Examination (1) Investigation of Respiratory Diseases Patients' records were examined to figure out the monthly ambulance rate of respiratory patients to the total number of patients treated. On the other hand, by using the questionnaire form approved by the Medical Research Council's Committee on Research into Chronic Bronchitis, investigators interviewed the examinees and inquired into the respiratory symptoms. (2) Measuring of Carboxyhemoglobin Saturation From the ear lobe of the examinees, with the use of the melangeur for the white blood cell counting, blood was taken, and after diluting it ten times with 0.1% $Na{2}CO_{3}$, again diulting it 20 times with 0.5% $Na_{2}\;CO_{3}$, its absorbancy was measured. The following results are obtained from the investigation. (1) It was found out that 7.7% of the total patients under treatment were suffering from upper respiratory infection, acute or chronic bronchitis, bronchial asthma, pulmonary emphysema and bronchiectasis. Of them all, patients with upper respiratory infection numbered the greatest with 4.8% and patients with acute or chronic bronchitis the next with 2.1%, and their monthly ambulance rate was high from December to February during the winter, and from April to May and from September to October during the changeable seasons. (2) The daily ambulance rate of respiratory patients, it was revealed, had a close connection with the concentration of $SO_2$ and CO in the air. (3) It was found out that men were more subject to respiratory disease than women, and both men and women were more liable to the diseases with the advancing of age. (4) People living at Choong-ku with the heavy traffic and in the industrial zones of Yeungdungpo had high frequency of respiratory symptoms. (5) Considered from the view point of occupations, high frequency was found among those without job, with jobs unknown, merchants and intdustrial workers, whose social status was rather low and traffic policemen who were always exposed to the exhaust gas of cars. As for women, the frequency was detected in the order of those from high to low, housewives who were exposed to briquet gas, women with jobs unknown, women without jobs, whose social status was low. (6) Ex-smokers rather than smokers, of both sexes, had higher frequency. As for men, heavy smokers had high frequency, while in women light smokers had rather high frequency which was presumed to be due to their average old age. (7) Men's average of carboxyhemoglobin saturation was 9.48%, while women's was 11.3%, higher than men's. (p<0.05). Age meant no difference in the case of men, but as for women, the saturation was remarkably high between the ages from 20 to 60. (8) No regional difference was detected in the carboxyhemoglobin saturation. (9) The carboxyhemoglobin saturation was found, in the case of men, in the order of office workers, traffic policemen, students, the unemployed, merchants and industrial workers, drivers; and as for women, the order was housewives, office workers, merchants and industrial workers. (10) No significant correlation was found between the carboxyhemoglobin saturation and the concentration of CO detected in kitchens, or between the carhoxyhemoglobin saturation and the passing of time after exposure to briquet gas. No difference of carboxyhemoglobin saturation was detected between smokers and non-smokers, and the degrees of smoking; only, significant negative correlation was found between the passing of time after smoking and the carboxyhemoglobin saturation. It is ture that air pollution causes or aggravates the respiratory diseases, increases the carboxyhemoglobin saturation in the blood, but what seems to be more hazardous to the health is the air polluted by the briquet gas in the kitchens and on-dol rooms rather than the atmospheric air pollution.

Quality of fresh-cut tomato slices was compared during cold storage under various modified atmosphere packaging conditions. Chilling injury of slices in containers sealed with Film A was higher than with Film B; these films had oxygen transmission rates of 87.4 and 60.0 ml $h^{-1}\;m^{-2}\;atm^{-1}$ at $5^{\circ}C\;and\;99\%$ RH, respectively. While slices in containers with an initial atmospheric composition of air, $4\%\;CO_2+1\;or\;20\%\;O_2,\;8\%\;CO_2+1\;or\;20\%\;O_2,\;or\;12\%\;CO_2+20\%\;O_2$ showed fungal growth, slices in containers with $12\%\;CO_2+1\%\;O_2$ did not. Low ethylene in containers enhanced chilling injury. Modified atmosphere packaging provided good quality tomato slices with a shelf-life of 2 weeks or more at $5^{\circ}C$. Experiments were conducted to compare changes in quality of slices of red tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. 'Sunbeam') fruit from plants grown using black polyethylene or hairy vetch mulches under various foliar disease management systems including: no fungicide applications (NF), a disease forecasting model (Tom-Cast), and weekly fungicide applications (WF), during storage at $5^{\circ}C$ under a modified atmosphere. Slices were analyzed for firmness, soluble solids content (SSC), titratable acidity (TA), pH, electrolyte leakage, fungi, yeasts, and chilling injury. With both NF and Tom-Cast fungicide treatments, slices from tomato fruit grown with hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth) mulch were firmer than those from tomato fruit grown with black polyethylene mulch after 12 days storage. Ethylene production of slices from fruit grown using hairy vetch mulch under Tom-Cast was about 1.5- and 5-fold higher than that of slices from WF and NF fungicide treatments after 12 days, respectively. The percentage of water-soaked areas (chilling injury) for slices from tomato fruit grown using black polyethylene mulch under NF was over 7-fold that of slices from tomato fruit grown using hairy vetch under Tom-Cast. When stored at $20^{\circ}C$, slices from light-red tomato fruit grown with black polyethylene or hairy vetch mulches both showed a rapid increase in electrolyte leakage beginning 6 hours after slicing. However, slices from tomato fruit grown using the hairy vetch mulch tended to have lower electrolyte leakage than those grown with black polyethylene mulch. These results suggest that tomato fruit from plants grown using hairy vetch mulch may be more suitable for fresh-cut slices than those grown using black polyethylene mulch. Also, use of the disease forecasting model Tom-Cast, which can result in lower fungicide application than is currently used commercially, resulted in high quality fruit for fresh-cut processing. Experiments were conducted to determine if ethylene influences chilling injury, as measured by percentage of slices exhibiting water-soaked areas in fresh-cut tomato slices of 'Mountain Pride' and 'Sunbeam' tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.). Ethylene concentration in containers without ventilation significantly increased during storage at $5^{\circ}C$, whereas little or no accumulation of ethylene occurred in containers with one or six perforations. Chilling injury was greatest for slices in containers with six perforations, compared to slices in containers with one perforation, and was over 13-fold greater than that of slices in control containers with no perforations. An experiment was also performed to investigate the effectiveness of including an ethylene absorbent pad in containers on subsequent ethylene accumulation and chilling injury. While ethylene in the no-pad controls increased continually during storage of both 'Mountain Pride' and 'Sunbeam' tomatoes at $5^{\circ}C$ under modified atmosphere conditions, no increase in accumulation of ethylene was observed in containers containing ethylene absorbent pads throughout storage. The ethylene absorbent pad treatment resulted in a significantly higher percentage of chilling injury compared with the no-pad control. In studies aimed at inhibiting ethylene production using AVG during storage of slices, the concentration of ethylene in control containers (no AVG) remained at elevated levels throughout storage, compared to containers with slices treated with AVG. Chilling injury in slices treated with AVG was 5-fold greater than that of controls. Further, we tested the effect of ethylene pretreatment of slices on subsequent slice shelf-life and quality. In slices treated with ethylene (0, 0.1, 1, or $10\;{mu}L\;L^{-1}$) immediately after slicing, ethylene production in non-treated controls was greater than that of all other ethylene pre-treatments. However, pretreatment of slices 3 days after slicing resulted in a different pattern of ethylene production during storage. Ihe rate of ethylene production by slices treated with 1 L $L^{-1}$ ethylene 3 days after slicing was greater during storage than any of the other ethylene treatments. With slices pre-treated with ethylene, both immediately and 3 days after slicing, the rate of ethylene production tended to show an negative correlation with chilling injury. Chemical name used: 1-aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG).

Although the problems of the algal blooms have been world-widely observed in freshwater, estuary, and marine throughout the year, it is not yet certain what are the basic causes of such blooms. Consequently, it is very difficult to predict when and where algal blooms occur. The constituents of the Asian dust are in a good agreement with the elements required for the algal growth, which suggests some possible relationship between the algal blooms and the Asian dust. There have been frequently algal blooms in drinking water from rivers or lakes. However, there is no any algal blooms in upwelling waters where the Asian dust cannot penetrate into the soil due to its relatively weak settling velocity (size of particles, $4.5{\pm}1.5{\mu}m$), which implies the possible close relationship of the Asian dust with algal blooms. The present initiative study is thus intended firstly in Korea to illustrate such a relationship by reviewing typical previous studies along with 12 years of weekly iron profiles (2001~2012) and two slant culture experiments with the dissolved Asian dust. The result showed bacterial suspected colonies in the slant culture experiment that are qualitatively in a good agreement with the recent Japanese studies. Since the diatoms require cheap energy (8%) compared to other phytoplankton (100%) to synthesize their cell walls by silicate, the present results can be used to predict algal blooms by diatoms if the concentrations of iron and silicate are available during spring and fall. It can be postulated that the algal blooms occur only if the environmental factors such as light, nutrients, calm water surface layer, temperature, and pH are simultaneously satisfied with the requirements of the micronutrients of mineral ions supplied by the Asian dust as enzymatic cofactors for the rapid bio-synthesis of the macromolecules during algal blooms. Simple eco-friendly methods to regulate the algal blooms are suggested for the initial stage of blooming with limited area: 1) to cover up the water surface with black curtain and inhibit photosynthesis during the day time, 2) to blow air (20.9%) or pure oxygen into the bottom of the water and inhibit rubisco for carbon uptake and nitrate reductase for nitrogen uptake activities in algal growth during the night, 3) to eliminate the resting spores or cysts by suction of bottom sediments as deep as 5 cm to prevent the next year germinations.

복합레진의 적층계면에서 산소억제층(oxygen inhibition layer:이하 OIL)의 영향을 연구하기 위해, 아크릴릭 몰드(하층) 에 복합레진의 shade A3를 충전한 후 표면의 조건을 달리하여 중합하였으며 상층은 shade A1으로 충전하고 중합하였다. 대조군(OIL 존재), 1군(OIL 형성억제), 2군(OIL 형성억제+레진표면의 미반응 모노머 제거), 3군(가압하에 중합), 4군(열중합), 5군(시효처리), 6군(시효처리+본딩제 도포)로 하층의 계면조건을 다르게 하였다. 전단결합강도와 파절양상, 전환률을 분석하여 다음의 결과를 얻었다. 1. 전단결합강도 측정 결과 대조군과 제 1군 사이에 통계학적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다(p>0.05). 2. 제 2군은 대조군과 1군에 비해 낮은 결합강도를 보였다(p<0.05). 3. 제 3군은 가장 높은 결합강도를 보인 반면, 4군은 가장 낮은 결합강도를 보였다. 4. 6군은 5군보다 두 배 정도 높은 결합강도를 보였다. 5. 대조군과 1군 및 3군에서는 주로 응집성 복합레진파절이 일어난 반면 2군, 4군, 5군과 6군에서는 주로 접착성 계면파절이 일어났다. 6. FTIR로 전환률을 측정한 결과 2군에서는 50.55%로 가장 높았고, 대조군에서는 가장 낮았다(p<0.05). 전단결합강도와 전환률의 결과로 보아, OIL은 복합레진 계면의 결합에 필수적인 요인은 아니며, 표층의 미반응 모노머가 결합강도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 보인다. 향후 계면 결합강도에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 미반응 모노머의 정량적인 분석을 통한 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

본 연구에서는 전자상자성공명(electron paramagnetic resonance, EPR) 장치를 사용한 휴대전화 부품들의 EPR 특성 측정을 통해 방사선사고시 회구적 선량평가용 선량계로써 활용가능성에 대하여 확인하였다. 화면표시 방식이 다른 두 스마트폰에서 12개의 시료를 선정하여 실험에 사용하였고, 시료의 방사선조사에는 $^{137}Cs$ 감마선 그리고 EPR 측정은 실온에서 Bruker사의 ELEXSYS E500 X-Band EPR spectrometer를 사용하여 수행하였다. 먼저 각 시료에 대하여 비조사시료와 조사시료의 EPR 스펙트럼을 측정하여 방사선에 의한 라디칼 생성 여부를 확인하였고, 그 후 선량반응곡선과 시간에 따른 시그널 크기 변화를 측정하였다. 측정결과 유심 플라스틱과 IC 칩을 제외한 모든 시료에서 방사선에 의한 EPR 시그널 증가를 확인할 수 있었다. 시료 중에서 덮개유리, 카메라렌즈, 도광판, 확산시트는 결정계수 $R^2=0.93$이상의 좋은 선형상관관계를 보였다. 특히 도광판은 선량에 따른 시그널 증가량이 가장 크고 백그라운드 시그널이 없기 때문에 선량평가에 이상적인 특성을 가지고 있었지만, 72 시간 이내에 시그널이 약 50% 감소하는 약점이 있었다. 확산시트 또한 도광판과 유사한 페이딩 특성을 나타내었고, 덮개유리와 카메라렌즈는 단기간 동안에는 시그널이 안정적으로 보존되었다. 휴대전화 부품을 이용한 EPR 선량평가를 실제 대규모 방사선 사고에서 신속하게 적용하기 위해서는 더 많은 휴대전화 기종의 같은 부품에 대한 시그널 차이, 페이딩, 시료 전처리 방법 등에 대한 추가연구가 진행될 필요가 있다. 그러나 현재 결과를 바탕으로 소규모 방사선사고시 피폭환자가 소지하고 있던 휴대전화와 동일한 제품을 구입하여 비교하는 방법 또는 추가조사법을 이용한 선량평가는 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

복잡지형에서의 에디 공분산 방법을 이용한 플럭스 관측에 있어서 가장 중요하면서도 어려운 문제 중에 하나가 야간 이산화탄소($CO_2$) 플럭스 자료 보정이다. 본 연구에서는 복잡산림지형에 위치한 두 KoFlux 관측지(광릉의 활엽수림과 침엽수림 관측지, GDK와 GCK)의 2009년도 플럭스 타워 자료에 대표적인 야간 자료 보정 방법인 마찰속도 보정 방법, 광 반응 곡선 보정 방법, 이류를 고려한 반 고셀 보정 방법을 적용한 결과를 평가하였다. 계산된 $CO_2$ 플럭스(생태계호흡, 총일차생산, 순생태계교환)는 방법에 따라 그 크기와 계절변동에 차이를 보였는데, 그 차이는 관측지 별로 다르게 나타났다. 각 방법에서 나온 결과들을 선행연구에서 보고된 결과들과의 비교와 함께, 기상학적인 접근뿐만 아니라 생태학적인 접근을 통해 검증하였다. 검증 결과, 이러한 차이의 원인은 야간 자료 보정 과정에서 선별된 자료의 일부가 이미 배수류에 의한 $CO_2$ 이류의 영향을 받았기 때문인 것으로 추측된다. GDK의 광 반응 곡선 방법의 결과를 제외한 나머지 $CO_2$ 플럭스 결과들은 아시아의 다양한 생태계에서 보고된 값들의 범위에 포함되었다. 본 연구는 현재 배포된 플럭스 자료들은 개선의 여지가 있으며, 최신 자료의 올바른 사용을 위한 자료 사용자와 자료 생산자 간의 소통의 중요성을 상기시켜 준다.

신속하게 면단위(2-Dimension)로 하천의 녹조 우심지역을 관측하기 위해 드론 다중분광영상을 이용한 분석기법을 연구하였다. 드론은 항공기나 위성에 비해 관측 면적이 작지만 높은 공간해상도와 현장접근 및 데이터 획득 용이성, 대기에 의한 간섭 저감, 다중분광센서를 이용한 신속한 자료처리로 녹조 모니터링 효율성을 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 보고 있다. 이러한 드론의 다중분광센서 영상으로 하천의 녹조발생 현황을 모니터링하기 위해 광합성 색소에 의한 분광특성을 반영하는 분광지수들을 비교 분석하고 Chlorophyll-a(Chl-a) 농도 추정식에 적용 가능성을 평가하였다. 주로 Red-edge 밴드를 포함하는 분광지수가 Chl-a 농도와 높은 상관성을 보였는데, 그 중에서도 3-Band Model(3BM), Normalized Difference Chlorophyll Index(NDCI)가 각각 비슷한 수준으로 가장 높은 통계적 유의성(R²=0.86, RMSE=7.5)을 나타내었다. NDCI의 경우에는 두 개의 분광밴드만 적용되는 간결한 수식과 정규화된(Normalizing) 결과값으로 신속하고 표준화된 프로세싱이 가능할 것으로 보이며 드론 녹조 모니터링에서 적용성이 높을 것으로 기대된다. 3BM의 경우에는 Red-edge 영역에서 두 개의 파장대를 적용해야 하나 본 연구에서 사용한 드론 센서에는 한 개의 Red-edge 밴드만 포함되어서 근적외선으로 대체하여 수식을 적용하였는데 Red-edge 파장영역이 세밀한 분광센서를 활용할 경우에 NDCI 보다 높은 정확도를 나타낼 수 있을 것으로 보인다.
