This study is to investigate the air pollution characteristics of an industrialized midsize west-coastal city by comparing air quality to a neighboring inland city. The hourly averaged data of $O_3$, $SO_2$, $NO_2$, CO, and $PM_{10}$ measured from continuous air quality monitoring sites in Gunsan (coastal) and Jeonju (inland) were analyzed. The data set covers the period from 2004 to 2006. The annual average concentrations of the air pollutants in two cities were compared in their abundances and temporal trends as well. $O_3$ and $SO_2$ in Gunsan were relatively higher than those in Jeonju, while vice versa in case of $NO_2$ and $PM_{10}$. It seems that heavy automobile emissions from Jeonju mainly bring on higher $NO_2$ and $PM_{10}$ than those in Gunsan on annual base. $NO_2$ concentrations in both cities showed bimodal diurnal variations with peaks in the morning and in the late evening. These peaks correspond to the coupled effects of rush hour traffic and meteorological conditions (i.e., variation of mixing height and dispersion conditions). Maximum hourly averages of $NO_2$ ranged from 18 ppb to 28 ppb at Jeonju, and from 12 ppb to 20 ppb at Gunsan. $O_3$ showed typical diurnal variation with a maximum in the afternoon between 14:00 and 16:00 LST. Diurnal variations of CO and $PM_{10}$ were similar to $NO_2$ while $SO_2$ was similar to $O_3$. Seasonal variations of $PM_{10}$ in both cities indicated that their concentrations during spring season were significantly high. Asian dust storms occur frequently during spring and seem to affect increase in $PM_{10}$. High $O_3$ and $PM_{10}$ days were selected from both cities. The analyses based on the HYSPLIT trajectory model during the high $O_3$ and $PM_{10}$ showed these episodes (six cases) were mostly coincident with Asian dust storm originated from northern China and Mongolia. However, these high air pollution episodes in the west coastal cities may not only be caused by the Asian dust but also affected by other air pollutants transported from China accompanying the Asian dust.

대표적인 수은 발생원인 도시폐기물 소각로와 화력 발전소 등지에서 배출되는 원소수은($Hg^0$)은 산화수은($Hg^{2+}$) 및 입자상 수은($Hg^p$)과 달리 기존의 대기오염 방지시설로 제거하기 난해한 편이다. 그로 인해 원소수은의 효율적 제거에 대한 많은 연구가 진행중이며, 이 연구에서는 저온 플라즈마(non-thermal plasma)의 하나인 유전체 장벽 방전(dielectric barrier discharge: DBD) 공정을 이용하여 원소수은 산화에 관한 실험을 수행하였다. 실험 결과, 공기 상의 DBD 공정에서는 생성되는 산소 원자와 오존에 의해서 원소수은이 산화수은으로 전환됨을 알 수 있었으며, 원소수은의 산화율을 결정하는 주된 변수는 반응기에 주입되는 에너지 밀도임을 확인할 수 있었다.

동쪽 연안지역에서 큰 경사를 갖인 산맥위를 흘러가는 종관규모의 서풍하에서 내부 중력파와 같은 강한 하강폭풍이 산의 후면에서 발생되어 진다. 주간에 해양에서 내륙으로 향하는 중규모의 열적 강화에 의해 유도되는 해풍순환이 동쪽으로 향하는 내부중력파에 기인하여 연안의 앞바다까지만 국한된다. 따라서 연안해 근처의 표층풍은 외해나 내륙의 위치에서보다 상대적으로 더 약하다. 명백하게 서풍의 내부중력파순환파 해면 근처에서 동풍 및 상층에서 서풍을 갖는 해풍순환과 같은 두개의 상이한 종류의 대기순환이 뚜렷하게 나타났다. 이런 상황에서 강릉시에서의 대기오염물질은 반대 방향의 두개의 상이한 순환에 의해 갇히게 되고 부유분진과 오존의 고농도가 초래되었다. 야간에 육지에서 연안해로 향하는 중규모의 육풍은 기존의 동쪽으로 향하는 하강풍과 협력하여 연안지역에서 서풍의 더욱 강화를 유도할 수 있었다. 산쪽에서 연안해로 향하여 부는 강한 표층풍에 의해 조절되는 부유분진의 농도는 추간의 경우보다 야간에 비교적 더 높았으며, 상층대기로 부터 지표면으로 오존의 하양수송에 기인하여 오존의 농도가 주간보다 야간에 매우 높았다. 결과로 바람폭풍하의 산악연안지역에서 대기오염농도는 바람푹풍 전.후보다 더 높았다.

본 연구의 목적은 천연자원이며 보속적인 생산이 가능한 식물성기름(콩기름)을 오존 산화 처리에 의한 구조적인 변성을 시도하여 이를 바탕으로 친환경 목재 접착제를 개발하는 것이다. 식용 콩기름을 사용하여 시간당 약 7.13 g의 오존을 발생시켜 15분, 30분, 60분, 120분간 오존산화 처리한 후 화학적 변화를 알아보기 위하여 FT-IR을 측정하였으며 오존 산화 처리된 콩기름/pMDI를 중량비로 1:1로 혼합하여 접착제를 제조하여 상태, 준내수 및 내수 인장전단 접착력을 평가하였다. FT-IR 측정 결과, 콩기름은 $3010cm^{-1}$ 부근에 불포화 이중결합에 기인하는 흡수를 나타내었으며 오존산화가 진행될수록 $3010cm^{-1}$ 부근의 흡수가 사라지고 $1700cm^{-1}$ 부근의 카르복실기 또는 알데히드의 흡수가 크게 나타났다. 인장전단 접착력의 경우 상태, 준내수 접착력 시험 결과 모든 오존 산화 처리 시간에서 KS 합판 접착성 기준인 $7.0kgf/cm^2$를 안정적으로 상회하였으며 오존산화 처리 반응시간이 증가함에 따라 접착력도 증가하여 60분 처리에서 최대의 접착력을 보이다 120분 처리에서는 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 내수 접착력의 경우 30분, 60분, 120분 처리에서는 접착 기준을 만족 시키는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Removal characteristics of volatile organic carbons(VOCs) by ozone oxidation and other processes in the raw water of the 1st Nakdong water treatment plant were investigated. Dichrolomethane, toluene and other 7 compounds were detected in the raw water. With regard to detected 4 compounds in finally treated water, it was found that VOCs could not be removed effectively by traditional water treatment process. Benzene, 1,2-dichlorobenzne were not detected in the raw water but they were detected in the process of treatment. The compound of highest detection frequency was dichloromethane. When the raw water was controlled at pH 7, temperature $20^{\circ}C$, 5 minutes as contact time, 10 minutes as reaction time, the removal rate of THMFP, $KMnO_4$ demand, TOC, $UV_{254nm}$ and $NH_3-N$ were 46.4%, 22%, 19.6%, 31% and 8%, respectively. From estimating the finally treated water qualities in 7 kinds of treatment processes, P-6 process(raw water-chlorination-coagulation-ozonation) was most effective for organics removal and THMs control. Removal efficiencies for $KMnO_4$ demand and TOC by the process which combined preozonation with coagulation was twice better than only preozonation. $NH_3-N$ removal rate was shown as 10% by P-3 process(raw water-coagulation-ozonation), but 83% of $NH_3-N$ was removed by P-4 process(raw water-coagulation-chlorination). It was found that the chlorination is more effective than the ozonation for the NH3-N removal as commonly known.

The electrostatic precipitation of Auto- Bias has the advantages of a little of power consumption by the voltage to apply only at ionizer and the prevention of fire danger by current flow over. As this ionizer wire was used WXN- Pt material of diameter 90$\mu $m, that improved ion efficiency and safety, simplified a existing source of electric power by induced Auto- Bias voltage. Also, the new type collector used electric conductivity- film wag superior a electric safety and dust collection efficiency and was possible to wash it by water. As a experiment result of this Auto- Bias electrostatic collector, the induced Auto- Bias voltage by appling D.C 4.0∼6.0kV at ionizer was 1.3∼2.3kV and then the power consumption by applied voltage was 8- l8W. The pressure loss of collector by the amount of flowing was 6.1 OmmH$_{2}$O in 300m$^{3}$/hr and showed a safe state of the dust collection. The collection efficiency by particle size was 65.1-95.8% in 0.5∼5.0$\mu $m. After corona discharge of ionizer, the remains ozone concentration was found much lower than that of ACGIH or air pollution criteria in Korea.

The airborne concentrations of the welding fumes produced during $CO_2$ arcwelding process at shipbuilding, shiprepairing, container manufacturing and car accessary manufacturing industry were investigated. The effects how much reduced the welding fume were checked when the portable fan was used. The results were as follows; 1.The geometric mean of welding fume concentration in shipbuilding factory was $10.05mg/m^3$. This exposure concentration was higher than other 3 manufacturing industries at 95% confidence level. 2. The sampling filters for welding fume could be digested with acid within 1 hour by microwave oven. The recoveries for investigated metal elements were all over 95%. 3. The optimal wavelength could be selected for the simultaneous analysis of 8 metal elements by ICP(Inductively Coupled Plasma). 4. Noxious gases($O_1,NO_2$) produced during $CO_1$ gas arc welding process were detected that the concentration of ozone($O_1$) was less than 0.01 ppm and that of nitrogen dioxide($NO_2$) was 0.01-0.03 ppm. 5. The geometric mean of welding fume particle diameter was $1.26{\mu}m$ and geometric standard deviation was 1.51 for the counts when particle an analyzer(ELZONE) had been used. 6. When the portable fan had been used,the reduced percent of total welding fume for workers was about 47.8% when portable fan was applied to blow and 71.7% when to exhaust.

Objectives: Air pollution is a growing concern in Korea because of transboundary air pollution from mainland China. A panel study was conducted to clarify the effects of air pollution on respiratory symptoms and health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) in outpatients with and without chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in Korea. Methods: Patients filled out a questionnaire including self-reported HR-QoL in February and were followed up in May and July. The study was conducted from 2013 to 2015, with different participants each year. Air quality parameters were applied in a generalized estimating equation as independent variables to predict factors affecting HR-QoL. Results: Lower physical fitness scores were associated with Asian sand dust events. Daily activity scores were worse when there were high concentrations of particulate matter (PM) less than $10{\mu}m$ in diameter ($PM_{10}$). Lower social functioning scores were associated with high PM less than $2.5{\mu}m$ in diameter and nitrogen dioxide ($NO_2$) concentrations. High $NO_2$ concentrations also showed a significant association with mental health scores. Weather-related cough was prevalent when $PM_{10}$, $NO_2$, or ozone ($O_3$) concentrations were high, regardless of COPD severity. High $PM_{10}$ concentrations were associated with worsened wheezing, particularly in COPD patients. Conclusions: The results suggest that PM, $NO_2$, and $O_3$ cause respiratory symptoms leading to HR-QoL deterioration. While some adverse effects of air pollution appeared to occur regardless of COPD, others occurred more often and more intensely in COPD patients. The public sector, therefore, needs to consider tailoring air pollution countermeasures to people with different conditions to minimize adverse health effects.
