For identification and apportionment of sources emitting particulate matters in environment, the multi-elemental characterization of size-density fractionated particulate matters was carried out. Eight types of samples were tested; soil, flyash released from burning of bunker-Coil, diesel oil, coal, and soft coal, urban road-way dust, urban dust fall, and airborne particulate matter. The fractions of particulate matters obtained by heavy liquid separation methos with a series of dichloromethane-bromoform were then analyzed using atomic absorption spectrophotometry for Ni, Cr, Cu, An, Fe, Al, and Mg. Each sample showed a different concentration profile as a function of density, and a number of useful conclusions concerning characterization of elemental distribution were obtained. From the density distributions of elements in soil, the maximum value was found for all elements in the density range of 2.2 $\sim 2.9g.cm^{-3}$, including the density of $SiO_2$. However, the distribution of metallic compounds with the density lower than $2.2g.cm^{-3}$ was prevalent in urban roadway dust, urban dust fall, and airborne particulate matter. And the density distribution curves of these urban dusts also have the higher distribution at the density of 2.2 - 2.9g.cm^{-3}$, including the density of wind-blown silica. This tendency generally was prevalent in the natural source elements, such as Al, Fe, Mn, and Mg. The maximum values were found in the density ranges of 1.3 $\sim 2.2g.cm^{-3}$ from the density distribution of elements in oil fired flyash. These distributions of anthropogenic source elements, such as Zn, Ni, Cu, and Cr were higher predominately than those of natural source elements. And the higher distribution was found in the density range of $2.2 \sim 2.9g.cm^{-3}$ from the density distribution of elements in coal and soft-coal fired flyash. These distributions showed similar patterns to soil. But anthropogenic source elements somewhat predominated at the density ranges of $1.3 \sim 2.2g.cm{-3} and 2.9g.cm^{-3}$ to soil. Therefore the higher distribution of anthropogenic source elements in the density ranges of $1.3 \sim 2.2g.cm^{-3} and 2.9g.cm^{-3}$ was considered as anthropogenic origin.

Using deep images taken at Maidanak 1.5m telescope, at McDonald 2.1m telescope and Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope, Dupont 2.5m telescope we investigated the fraction of merging galaxies in hosts of 39 AGN which are brighter than M = -22 mag and nearer than z = 0.3. We found that 16 to 17 of 39 AGN host galaxies show the evidence of mergers like tidal tail, shell via careful visual inspection. We also studied with the merging fraction of a control sample, SDSS Stripe82 early type galaxies of which surface brightness limit and bulge magnitude are similar to that of the AGN sample. We found that merging fraction of the AGN sample is higher than that of early type galaxy samples in the whole range of bulge magnitude. This result implies that AGN activity may be correlated with merging. We also investigated the detailed morphology of merging feature. At least - 1/4 of control samples classified as a tidal and tidal+dust are shell structures. On the other hand only one (5.9%) of AGN sample classified as merger shows shell structures, and almost all merging AGNs show tidal tail features. From point of view that tidal tail may be at the early stage of merging, and shell may be at the late stage of mergers, this result suggests that AGN might be evolved into early-type galaxies after merging.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) features have emerged as one of the most important infrared (IR) features since these PAH features dominate mid-IR spectra of galaxies and are ubiquitous within galactic and extragalactic objects. These PAH features have the potentials to become reliable star formation rate (SFR) proxies and diagnostics of physical conditions of interstellar medium, such as ionization states of dust grains and grain sizes. While constructing an unbiased library of 44 sample galaxies selected from 5MUSES sample, AKARI mJY Unbiased Survey of Extragalactic Sources in 5MUSES (AMUSES) intends to measure and to calibrate the PAH 3.3 mm emission feature which has not been studied extensively due to its weak strength and dearth of capable instruments. Out of 20 target galaxies, we detected the 3.3mm feature from eight galaxies and measured their line strengths, line widths and line ratios with other PAH emission features. Sample galaxies whose spectral energy distributions (SEDs) are classified as starburst-type have clearly stronger 3.3mm emission features than ones with AGN-type SEDs. We also found that there is a correlation between the PAH 3.3mm luminosity and total IR luminosity within our sample galaxies, albeit a large scatter. We further discuss implications of our results.

연구 배경 : 세계적으로 Asian dust로 알려져 있는 황사는 주로 봄철 중국과 몽고의 사막지역에서 발생하는 모래먼지로 수천 킬로미터를 이동하여 낙하하는 자연적으로 발생되는 대표적인 오염 물질이다. 한반도에 영향을 미치는 황사는 주로 $10{\mu}m$이하의 미세먼지($PM_{10}$)로서 $PM_{10}$의 증가는 황사현상의 증가와 매우 밀접한 관련이 있다. $PM_{10}$은 호흡기에 침착이 가능하고 따라서 호흡기 증상 및 폐기능에 영향을 미치는 것으로 알려져있으나 아직 이에 대한 병리기전의 연구는 미미하여 기존에 추정되는 $PM_{10}$의 병리기전 이외에 황사 먼지의 이동에 따르는 미생물의 전파, 특히 바이러스의 전파에 대한 연구는 임상적으로 의미가 있을 것으로 생각되며 황사시 바이러스 감염 질환 자체의 발생을 알아 보기위해 황사시 대기에서 시료를 채취하여 바이러스의 존재 유무에 대해 연구하였다. 방 법 : $PM_{10}$은 인천지역 10군데에서 측정하였으며 고용량 대기 포집기(HA 500F, Sibata, 일본)를 이용하여 하루에 한번씩 포집하였다. 공기포집기의 흡입용량인 500 L/min으로 6시간 시행하였다. 시료를 흡착하기 위하여 $0.25{\mu}m$ pore size의 지름이 110mm 인 Glass microfiber filter( Prefilter AP 15, 124mm)를 이용하였다. nfluenza virus, 구제역에 관계된 Piconaviridae의 Aphthovirus속인 RNA바이러스, Hog cholera virus 돼지콜레라 바이러스) 의 검출을 위해 수집한 membrane filter를 전처리하여 Polymerase chain reaction으로 바이러스를 확인하였다. 결 과 : 연구 기간 중 24시간 평균 $PM_{10}$수치는 황사 발생일에 $148.0{\mu}g/m^3$, 비황사발생일에 $57.0{\mu}g/m^3$ 로 차이를 보였다. 2003년과 2004년 4월부터 8월 사이에 채취한 시료에서 검출 대상 바이러스인 Influenza virus A, B, Hog cholera virus, 구제역에 관련된 Aphthovirus등은 검출되지 않았다. 결 론 : 연구는 연구기간 동안에 황사의 발생이 적어 충분한 연구가 되지 못하였으며, 또한 검출하고자 했던 바이러스질환의 발생도 적어 실제 황사와의 관련성을 규명하기에 적절한 연구가 이루어지질 못했다. 향후 황사 발생과 바이러스질환의 유행이 일치하는 시점에 좀더 광범위한 시료의 채취 방법으로 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

The $PM_{2.1}$ was collected by LVCI (low volume cascade impactor) during Group-A Period (September 1990 to December 2012) and the $PM_{2.5}$ was collected by HVAS (high volume air sampler) during Group-B Period (September 2009 to April 2012) at Kyung Hee University, Global Campus located on the boarder of Yongin and Suwon. The 8 water-soluble ions ($Na^+$, $NH_4{^+}$, $K^+$, $Mg^{2+}$, $Ca^{2+}$, $Cl^-$, $ NO_3{^-}$, and $SO_4{^{2-}}$) were analyzed by IC, and the 14 inorganic elements (Al, Mn, Si, Fe, Cu, Pb, Cr, Ni, V, Cd, Ba, Zn, Ti, Ag) were analyzed by XRF and ICP-AES after performing proper pre-treatments of each sample filter. The average total mass fractions of $SO_4{^{2-}}$, $NO_3{^-}$, and $NH_4{^+}$+ to $PM_{2.5}$ samples during Group-B Period were 0.39 in normal days, 0.44 in haze days, and 0.27 in Asian dust days, respectively; however, the average total mass fractions of Al, Fe, and Si to $PM_{2.5}$ mass were 0.043 in normal days, 0.021 in haze days, and 0.036 in Asian dust days, respectively. Especially the concentration of Pb was significantly decreased during Group-B Period rather than during Group-A Period, while Cr and Ni was increased during Group-B Period. In this study, we intensively compared the annual and seasonal patterns of major chemical species among normal days, haze days, and Asian dust days. Further we developed mass fraction profiles by collecting episode cases of haze days and Asian dust days, which were consisting of 22 chemical species. Those profiles are considered to be useful when applying various receptor models and establishing air quality management plans near future.

Kampilla is an important herbal drug of indigenous system of medicine. Fruit dust of Mallotus philippensis Muell-Arg constitutes the genuine drug Kampilla. However, due to limited distribution of this plant and its high medicinal value, the drug is heavily adulterated with the cheaper substances. Hence the present study was undertaken to evaluate both the authentic and market samples. The drug consists of resin glands and trichomes. Resin glands are lined by a delicate yellowish thin membrane and bear a pore at the tip. Quantitative standards of the drug powder showed 82.50% yield in total ash while alcohol soluble extract of market and authentic sample exhibit 0.97% and 3.458% respectively. The main adulterant noticed in the market sample is brick powder. Simple methods are suggested to identify the genuine drug.

The purpose of this study was to validate alternative method by using non-carcinogenic, and less toxic solvents than NIOSH analytical method 5524 for measuring the airborne MWFs in workplaces. In laboratory tests, the ETM solvents(mixture of same volume for ethyl ether, toluene, and ethanol) were selected. The alternative method of analyzing MWFs, referred to as the ETM solvent extraction method, showed 0.04 mg/sample as LOD, and 0.15 mg/sample as LOQ. The analytical precision (pooled CV, coefficient of variation) of the ETM solvent extraction method for analyzing the straight, soluble, semisynthetic, and synthetic metalworking fluid was 1.5%, 2.0%, 2.6%, 1.6%, respectively, which was similar to the precision (2.6%) of NIOSH analytical method (NIOSH 0500) for total dust. The analytical accuracy by recovery test, spiked mass calculated as extractable mass, was almost 100%. As the result of storage stability test, metalworking fluid samples should be stored in refrigerated condition, and be analyzed in two weeks after sampling. The 95% confidence limit of the estimated total standard error for the ETM solvent extraction method for analyzing the straight, soluble, semisynthetic, and synthetic metalworking fluid was ${\pm}12.6%$, ${\pm}12.5%$, ${\pm}14.0%$, and ${\pm}13.6%$, respectively, which satisfied the OSHA sampling and analytical criteria.
