This paper aims to describe the characteristics of air pollution using air pollutants concentration and meteorological data observed at Kimhae from December 1996 to November, 1997. The results are as follows : The concentration distribution of sulfur dioxide($SO_2$), carbon monoxide(CO), particulate matter(PM-10), and nitrogen dioxide($NO_2$) is high during the late fall and winter and low during the summer, but ozone concentration is low during the winter season and high during summer season except Jangma period and these distributions appear to be closely connected with insolation and the number of clear day. Diurnal variation of concentrations for sulfur dioxide, particulate matter, and carbon monoxide are high during the rush hours and nighttime and low during the daytime and these variations are distinct toward the winter season. And diurnal variation of nitrogen dioxide concentration has also same pattern and these patterns are closely related to the increasing traffic volume at rush hours. Diurnal variation of ozone concentration is generally increase for daytime and decrease for the late afternoon and are closely related to the insolation and photochemical reaction. The 24 hour average concentrations of air pollutant observed at Kimhae represented a positive correlation and a negative correlation for $O_3$ and also a negative correlation for the meteorological elements such as wind speed and cloud cover.

Indoor air quality is of increasing concern because it is closely related human health. An air handling unit (AHU) can be used to control the indoor air quality related to particulate matters and $CO_2$ as well as air conditioning such as temperature and humidity of indoor air. An electrostatic precipitator has a high collection efficiency and low pressure drop, however, ozone can possibly generate from its chargers, which is one of drawbacks to apply it for indoor air control. Here we compared four charging electrodes such as a $50{\mu}m$ tungsten wire, a $100{\mu}m$ tungsten wire, a $16{\mu}m$-thickness Al foil and a carbon fabric comprised of $5-10{\mu}m$ fibers. The carbon fabric electrode showed a superior particle collection efficiency and a lower ozone generation at a given power consumption compared to tungsten wires of 50, $100{\mu}m$ and an Al foil electrode. This low ozone generating, micro-sized electrode can be applied to the electrostatic precipitator in AHU for indoor air control.

In order to clarify the impact of regional warming on the meteorological field and air quality over southeastern part of Korean Peninsula, several numerical experiment were carried out. Numerical models used in this study are WRF for the estimate the meteorological elements and CMAQ for assessment of ozone concentration. According to the global warming impact, initial air temperature were changed and its warming rate reach at 2 degree which was based on the global warming scenarios provided by IPCC. The experiments considering the global warming at initial stage were presented as case T_UP. Air temperature over inland area during night time for case T_UP is higher than that for Base case. During time since the higher temperature over inland area is maintained during daytime more intensified sea breeze should be induced and also decrease the air temperature in vicinity of coast area. In case of T_UP, high level concentrations ozone distribution area was narrowed and their disappearance were faster after 1800LST. As a results, wind and temperature fields due to the global warming at initial stage mainly results in the pattern of ozone concentration and its temporal variation at South-Eastern Part of the Korean Peninsula.

경유자동차에서 배출되는 탄소 입자상 물질 연소 온도구간을 낮추는 것은 미세먼지 배출 저감과 내연기관 자동차의 고연비 저배출 성능 구현이라는 측면에서 매우 중요한 기술적 과제 중 하나이다. 본 논문에서는 탄소 입자상 물질의 산화를 위해 오존을 산화제로 이용하고 백금계 산화촉매를 동시에 적용했을 때 관찰되는 $150^{\circ}C$ 부근 저온영역에서의 탄소 입자상 물질 연소반응에 관하여 논했다. 백금계 산화촉매를 적용했을 때 오존에 의한 탄소 입자상 물질의 산화속도를 크게 개선시키지 못했지만 연소반응의 이산화탄소 선택도를 향상시켰으며, 탄소 입자상 물질의 선택적 산화를 위해 고려된 NO의 $NO_2$로의 사전 전환($NO_2$-rich 조건)은 $NO_2$와 오존의 상호 상승작용에 의해 $150^{\circ}C$ 부근 온도영역에서의 탄소상 입자물질 연소성능을 높이는데 효과가 있었다.

본 논문은 비열평형 플라즈마와 촉매를 이용하여 트리클로로에틸렌의 효과적인 분해방법을 제안하였다. 이를 위하여 이산화망간과 알루미나 펠렛을 플라즈마 리액터 내부에 충진한 리액터를 설계하였다. 이산화망간 충진 리백터를 이용할 경우에는 산소를 포함한 가스중의 방전에 의해 발생된 오존이 촉매 표면에서 분해되는 동안에 발생된 산소원자 라디칼에 의하여 TCE의 분해율이 향상됨을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 알루미나를 충진한 경우에는 TCE DCAC로 산화되었으며, COx 및 $Cl_2$와 같은 저분자상으로 많이 분해되지 않았다. 그러나 알루미나 충진 리액터에 의한 플라즈마 처리된 가스를 리액터 후단에 설치한 이산화망간 촉매를 통과시킴에 의하여 분해율이 매우 향상됨을 알 수 있었다. 따라서, 플라즈마 프로세스에 이산화망간을 응용함에 의하여 오존 분해에 따른 촉매 표면의 산소원자 라디칼에 의하여 TCE 및 분해 생성물(DCAC)를 효율적으로 분해하는 것이 가능하다.

This study analyzed characteristics of ozone (O₃) formation regimes in Busan over a period of recent five years (2015~2019) and compared the findings with those obtained in Seoul. We employed four observed variations: early morning commuting-hour (i.e., 06:00-09:00 LST) nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), peak-hour (i.e., 12:00-16:00 LST) O₃, 8-hour average O₃ (MDA8 O₃), and △O₃ (=O_{3_max}- O_{3_min}) in Busan and Seoul. In addition, the NO₂-O₃ relation was assessed to interpret which of NOx-limited or volatile organic compound (VOC)-limited was dominant. In Busan, the annual mean O₃ concentration was relatively higher than in Seoul, whereas there were fewer high-concentration days. The Pearson correlation coefficients (R) between Early morning-hour NO₂ and the Peak-hour O₃ was positive (but close to zero) in Busan and negative in Seoul. Likewise, the R between the Early morning-hour NO₂ and the △O₃ showed a relatively considerable positive correlation (R=+0.4~0.5)(R=+0.4~0.5) in Busan, while a weak positive correlation (R=+0.1~0.2) in Seoul. From this result, it can be inferred that the O₃ formation regime in Busan was intrepreted to be nearly neutral or relatively closer to the NO_x-limited regime than Seoul, while Seoul to the VOC-limited regime. The study findings imply that O₃ control strategies should be applied differently in Busan and Seoul. The results here were inferred from surface NO₂ and O₃ observations, and the varification studies based on in-situ VOCs measurements would be needed.

시중에서 유통되는 부분 가공 원예산물의 세균밀도는 매우 높아 청결 상태가 불량하였다. 작물별로는 깐마늘에 세균밀도가 낮았으며 기타 작물의 경우 미생물 밀도는 $10^8$ 이상이었다. 특히 고사리의 경우 가장 세균 밀도가 높을 뿐아니라 이물질이 혼입된 경우도 있었다. 오존수 처리반응은 작물의 유형에 따라 차이를 나타내었는데 근채류인 우엉과 연근은 변색을 방지할 뿐아니라 살균 효과로 세절한 작물의 유통성을 향상시킬 수 있었으나 $0.3mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ 농도에서 5분 이상 처리할 경우 오히려 불리하였다. 양상추의 경우 $0.3mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$에서 2분을 초과하여 처리할 때 조직이 물러지고 변색이 더욱 심하여 처리시간과 농도에 대한 구체적인 검토가 필요하였다. 건조나물의 경우 살균효과 뿐아니라 유통 중 세균 증식에 따른 이취 발생을 억제하는데 효과적이었다. 이러한 효과는 조직이 두꺼운 고사리보다 얇은 취나물에서 더욱 뚜렷하였다. 본 연구에서 얻어진 결과를 살필 때 건조나물을 비롯한 연근, 우엉 등의 작물에 대하여서는 실용화 가능성이 있는 것으로 판단된다.

Korean Photochemical Assessment Monitoring Stations (PAMS) have been established since the late 2001 to monitor ambient air concentrations of VOC species, which would enhance understanding photo-chemical formation of ozone and subsequently contribute to developing efficient ozone control strategies. The present study aims at identifying major VOC species and examining their trends by analyzing PAMS monitoring data collected from the year 2006 to 2016. All the 18 PAMS sites operated by the Ministry of Environment were included in the study. PAMS monitored the 56 target VOC species, which are classified into four groups, alkenes, lower alkanes ($C{\leq}3$), higher alkanes ($C{\geq}4$), aromatics. The higher alkanes and aromatics dominated over the lower alkanes and alkenes in the type 2 and 3 PAMS sites except Joongheung site. N-butane was a major alkane species, toluene was a major aromatic species and most of VOCs showed decreasing trends in these sites. On the other hand, only the alkenes showed decreasing trends at the Joongheung site in Yeosu. Major sources of abundant species such as ethane, propane, n-butane, toluene were estimated by analyzing seasonal variations, correlation with other VOC species, and emission profiles. A major source of n-butane was identified as LPG cars, while major sources of toluene varied considerably from one site to another. The lower alkanes were composed of ethane and propane, both of which showed a strong seasonal variation, low in the summer and high in the winter, indicating that a major source might be the heating by gaseous fuels. Ozone formation potentials of VOC species were evaluated by applying MIR and POCP to the measured VOC species concentrations. Toluene contributed the most to total ozone forming potentials followed by m,p-xylene for all the type 2 and 3 PAMS sites except for two sites in Yeosu-Gwangyang. Ethylene and propylene were the first and second contributors to total ozone forming potentials at Joongheung site in Yeosu.

세슘은 높은 수용성으로 인하여 인체에 쉽게 침투하여 암 또는 DNA의 변형을 유발하는 잠재적인 독성 오염물질이다. 본 연구에서는 활성탄소의 세슘 흡착 능력을 향상시키고자 오존 처리를 통하여 활성탄소 표면에 산소 작용기를 도입하였다. 오존 처리 시간의 증가에 따라 활성탄소 표면의 산소함량이 증가하였다. 이후 활성탄소와 세슘 사이의 정전기적 상호작용이 더욱 원활하게 이루어져 모든 시료의 세슘 이온 흡착 효율이 향상되었다. 특히 반응기 내부 오존 농도를 50000 ppm으로 하여 7 min 동안 오존 처리한 시료는 약 12%의 높은 산소 작용기 함량을 보이며 97.6%의 가장 높은 세슘 제거 효율을 보였다. 한편, 5 min 동안 처리된 시료는 7 min간 반응한 시료와 비교하여 0.3%의 근소한 세슘 제거율 차이를 보였으며, 이는 오존 기체의 반응 특성으로 인한 두 시료의 표면화학적 유사성에 기인한다. 그러나, 오존 처리된 활성탄소의 세슘 흡착 성능은 활성탄소의 비표면적 및 기공 구조도 중요하지만 표면에 도입된 산소 작용기 양이 주된 영향을 미치는 것으로 판단된다.

Sulfur dioxide (SO$_2$), ozone, total suspended particulates (TSP) and PM$_{2.5}$ were measured at Deokjeok Island in the Yellow Sea during April 1999 to June 2000. Although the emission amount of air pollutants is quite low in this small island of 36 km$^2$ with 1.4 thousand inhabitants, there are pollutant sources such as an oil -firing power plant and a wharf for ferryboat. The island is also influenced from the emissions from the greater Seoul area in the east and from China in the west. In order to characterize the pollutant variations due to interactions between transport and local emissions. the correlation between variations of SO$_2$ and ozone was investigated. Mass and ion concentrations of TSP and PM$_{2.5}$ were examined on selected episode days of positive and negative correlations between the two gaseous species in spring and winter. The effects of transport were pronounced on the days of positive correlation in spring with higher concentrations of ozone and PM$_{2.5}$. TSP concentrations were also high on these days because of high wind speeds. On the days of negative correlation in spring, frequent fog associated with low wind speeds facilitated SO$_2$ oxidation and increased sulfate accompanied with decrease in nitrate in PM$_{2.5}$ and chloride in TSP. This latter phenomena was noticeable since it showed that chemical composition of fine particles could be significantly altered not only during the transport but also by local environment.ronment.
