Objectives: The occurrence characteristics of BTEXS and phytoncides were investigated by type of urban forest. Methods: Four types of urban green space (Hongneung Forest, Mt. Chunjang, residential park, and traffic island) and Gwangneung Forest were selected. Monitoring of phytoncides and BTEXS was conducted considering the activity times of urban residents (five times per day) using a Tenax TA tube and suction pump in June 2017 (one day). Results: Phytoncide concentrations were ranked as Gwangneung Forest>Hongneung Forest>Mt. Cheonjang>traffic island>residential park. Relatively high concentrations of phytoncides were also identified in the urban forest. There was no significant difference between Gwangneung Forest and the urban forest. BTEXS concentrations were ranked as traffic island>residential park>Hongneung Forest>Gwangneung Forest>Mt. Cheonjang. Traffic island and residential park showed high levels of BTEXS depending on the inflow of vehicles. The difference in concentration by time was significant for the traffic island in particular. Pollutant levels in Hongneung Forest were as low as in Gwangneung Forest. Conclusion: The concentrations of phytoncides and BTEXS were different by types of urban green space, and the potential for health and hygiene of urban forests were able to be investigated. This study is expected to provide as basic data for the creation of urban forest spaces in the future.

산업단지에서 발생하는 액상폐기물(폐유와 폐유기용제)을 고온반응기에서(온도 $1,250{\sim}1,400^{\circ}C$, 압력 1기압) 연소시키면서 연소 특성, 유해물질 분해정도 및 연소 후 배출가스 특성 등을 살펴보았다. 산소와 폐기물의 질량비($O_2$/waste mass fraction)가 1.53 이하로 줄어들 때 반응기는 산화분위기에서 환원분위기로 전환되었고 연소 후 배출가스는 NOx 배출량이 감소하고 합성가스의 발생비율이 증가하였으며 BTEX류는 99.99%이상 분해되는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 제안한 시스템 및 조업조건 하에서 고농도의 액상폐기물(폐유와 폐유기용제)을 처리한 결과 미량 오염물질의 배출농도는 매우 낮은 값을 보여 액상폐기물의 처리에 적합한 것으로 판단되며 또한 연소 후 합성가스도연료로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구에서는 고상 미세추출법(HS-SPME)을 적용하여 대기환경시료 중 VOCs 분석을 위한 응용성을 평가하고자 하였다. 광범위한 VOCs 검출을 위한 최적 HS-SPME 분석 조건(CAR/PDMS fiber, 30분 시료노출, 도출된 분석조건)에서 VOCs의 검출 한계 농도는 저분자량 화합물인 경우 1~3 ppbv 내외였고, BTEXs 계열 화합물들의 경우에는 0.0005 ppbv 이하의 매우 낮은 농도까지 검출 가능하였다. 다만 fiber들 간의 흡착효율 재현성 평가결과, 동일 fiber에 대하여 1~9.2% (n = 3), 서로 다른 fiber들에 대하여서는 5.9~13.5% (n = 5)의 오차를 보였다. 도출된 분석조건을 이용하여 매립지 가스 중 BTEX를 포함한 35여종의 VOCs를 성공적으로 정량분석하였다.

In this study, biomonitoring methods were developed to measure BTEXs exposure level in the air, metabolites of benzene and toluene in human urine, individual susceptibility markers in human blood for evaluation of the health effects about environmental pollution. We have also performed a small-scaled molecular epidemiology study on residents in Chuncheon and workers in workplace for these method applications. The workers in workplace were surveyed as study areas, and the residents in Chuncheon which is in the suburban area were surveyed as comparative areas in this study. Actually, 31 workers in as target group and 33 residences in as control group this epidemiological study. The results obtained from this study were as follows: 1. Benzene is a well-known carcinogen, it's median concentrations were 0.00024∼0.02057ppm at suburban area and 0.002∼00.654ppm at work place, These benzene concentrations were not exceed the OSHA(Occupational Safety and Health Administration) threshold benzene level of 1ppm in the states. 2. Metabolites product of benzene(t,t-Muconic Acid) and toluene(Hippuric Acid) were not significant both in suburban and workplace area. The median concentration of t,t-MA and HA were 0.0122, 1.44277g/g creatinine, respectively. 3. In the case of individual susceptibility markers as CYPlAl, 41.8% of them has homozygous wild type(W) and who has heterozygous variant type(H) was 35.4% and 22.8% of homozygous variant type(M) genetic type. In the case of CYP2E1, 62.82% of them has homozygous wild type(D) type, 34.62% of each has heterozygous variant type (DC) and 2.56% of them has homozygous variant type (CC). Who doesn't have GSTM1 gene was 46.25% and who has GSTM1 gene was 53.75％. Who doesn't have GSTT1 gene was 40.0％ in study groups and who has GSTT1 gene was 60.0%. Who has W genetic type, which is homozygous wild type of GSTP1, was 69.18% and H genetic type, which is heterozygous variant type was 28.4%. M genetic type which is homozygous variant type was 2.4%. 4. Concentration differences of metabolites such as t,t-MA and HA in urine, which is generated by individual susceptibility marker of GSTM1, GSTT1, GSTP1 gene of Phase I and CYP1A1, CYP2E1 gene of Phase II, was examined. As a result, GSTP1 and GSTM1 indicate slight differences depend on the amount of metabolites in urine, it was not statistically significant.
