A quantitative study of the amount of air transported between the boundary layer and the free atmosphere is important for understanding air quality and upper tropospheric ozone, which is a greenhouse gas. Frontal systems are known to be an effective mechanism for the vertical transport of pollutants. Numerical experiments have been performed with a simple two-dimensional front model to simulate vertical transport of trace gases within developing cold fronts. Three different trace gases experiments have been done numerically according to the different initial fields of trace gases such as aerosol, ozone and $H_2O_2$. Trace gas field tilts to the east while the front tilts to the west. Aerosol simulation shows that pollutants can be transported out of the boundary to altitudes of about 10 km. The stratospheric ozone is brought downwards in a tropopause fold behind of the frontal surface. The meridional gradient in trace gas ($H_2O_2$) can cause a complicate structure in the trace field by the meridional advection.

Recently, the researches for air pollutant control technologies have been performing in Korea, while considering an one of the latest main topics as problems on air pollutant control. However, it is difficult to investigate emission amount of air pollutant by passenger cars, because of lack of the domestic information about mobile source; the number of research institutes are less in the whole. Especially, the informations on registered numbers and emissions of motorcycles are less. Thus, in this study, the analysis that is based on experimental results was conducted for finding out source profiling and emission characteristics on motorcycles exhaust. For these experiments, the domestic motorcycles were chosen and evaluated by EURO III standard. From the result, controlled pollutants (CO, HC, NOx) were met to EURO III, but low displacement motorcycles showed a higher incomplete combustion reaction than that of 250 cc motorcycles. Additionally, uncontrolled pollutants (BTEX and 1,3-butadiene) were decreased with increasing a displacement of motorcycles. However, the emission trend of aldehydes was not followed that of those; the formaldehyde ratio increased upto approximately 33%, with increasing a displacement of motorcycles. In the future, it would be used to support the CAPSS as basic data of Korea.

Trace organic contaminants in deep-sea sediments near Dokdo were analyzed. Total PAMs concentration ranged 14.8-314 ng/g dry weight and high molecular weight PAHs were dominant. The highest PAHs concentration was detected at A19 which located at Ulleung Basin. Most of organochlorines were under detection limit. Among the detected organochlorines, DDT compounds were dominant and followed by HCHs and HCB. Butyltin compounds and most of organophosphorus pesticides were not detected. Vertical distribution of PAHs showed typical sub-surface maximum and decreasing trends depending on depth. The highest PAHs concentration reached 454ng/g. Some organochlorines, DDT, HCH was detected and also showed decreasing trends. Other target organic pollutants were not detected in core sediments. Abnormally high level of PAHs concentration in A19 was discussed and the input sources were inferred to be the transport of sludge derived pollutant dumped at dumping site 'Byung' by deep current.

고농도로 오염된 마산만 퇴적물 2.1×10/sup 6/ ㎥ 마산시 가포해역에 투기되었다. 준설토가 투기된 가포해역의 한 조석주기 동안 해수 중금속 농도는 Zn 1.15∼2.59, Cu 1.08∼1.96, Pb ND∼0.42 그리고 Ni 0.57∼1.35 ㎍/l로서 진해만의 평균 농도인 Zn 0.80, Cu 1.02, Pb 0.01 그리고 Ni 0.70 ㎎/l 와 비교할 때 높은 농도이었다. 가포지역 퇴적물 표층의 중금속 오염 수준을 미국 EPA 기준으로 평가한 결과 Non polluted∼Moderately polluted level 이었으며, Adverse Biological Effects 기준으로 평가하였을 때 Cu와 Zn은 ERL∼ERM, Cd, Cr, Pb 그리고 Ni은 ERL 수준이었다. 퇴적층별 중금속 함량은 상층부보다 하층부에서 중금속 농도가 높게 나타났으며 이러한 오염도 분포 경향은 상대적으로 오염도가 낮은 지역의 준설토가 투기지역 퇴적물의 상층부를 형성하고 있기 때문이다. 가포지역에서 채집된 굴에서 Zn 238.96, Cu 5.29, 바지락에서 Zn 17.71, Cu 1.00. 진주담치에서 Zn 187.98, Pb 0.28, Cr 0.15, Mn 4.23, Sr 1.45 그리고 Fe 100.33㎍/g wet wt.이 검출되어 투기장 외부 호안에서 채취된 시료보다 높은 경향을 나타내었다. 그러나 이와 같은 패류의 중금속 측정결과는 국립수산물품질검사원의 정밀검사기준(패류)인 Pb 2.0 및 Cd 2.0 ㎍/g과 비교하였을 때 기준치 이하에 해당하였다.

본 연구에서는 자포동물인 보름달물해파리의 면역반응을 유도하여 추출한 점액물질(jellyfish extract at immunity reaction, JEI)을 활용하여 하수처리장 처리수 내 잔존하는 미량오염물질(중금속과 미세플라스틱)의 제거 가능성에 대해 평가하였다. 실험은 자-테스터(jar-tester)를 이용한 lab 규모와 자체 개발한 관접속형 혼화반응 시스템과 농축일체형 분리장치를 연계한 pilot system 규모의 두 방법으로 수행하였다. 모든 실험 조건에서 JEI는 기존 음이온 고분자에 비해 미량오염물질 제거효율이 유사하거나 높은 것으로 분석되었다. 특히 pilot system 규모로 JEI를 하수처리장의 방류수와 혼합하여 사용하면 두 번의 혼합과정에 의해 JEI와 미량오염물질의 결합이 극대화되고 이로 인해 미량오염물질 제거율이 매우 향상됨을 확인하였다. 이러한 실험 결과를 토대로 본 기술을 기존의 방식에서 벗어나 생태계 위해성이 적고 무기성 폐기물 발생을 최소화할 수 있는 미량오염물질 제거 방법으로 제안하는 바이다.

Adsorption of metal elements onto illite and halloysite was investigated at $25^{\circ}C$ using pollutant water collected from the gold-bearing metal mine. Incipient solution of pH 3.19 was reacted with clay minerals as a function of time: 10 minute, 30 minute, 1 hour, 12 hour, 24 hour, 1 day, 2 day, 1 week, and 2 week. Twenty-seven cations and six anions from solutions were analyzed by AAs (atomic absorption spectrometer), ICP(induced-coupled plasma), and IC (ion chromatography). Speciation and saturation index of solutions were calculated by WATEQ4F and MINTEQA2 codes, indicating that most of metal ions exist as free ions and that there is little difference in chemical species and relative abundances between initial solution and reacted solutions. The adsorption results showed that the adsorption extent of elements varies depending on mineral types and reaction time. As for illite, adsorption after 1 hour-reaction occurs in the order of As>Pb>Ge>Li>Co, Pb, Cr, Ba>Cs for trace elements and Fe>K>Na>Mn>Al>Ca>Si for major elements, respectively. As for halloysite, adsorption after 1 hour-reaction occurs in the order of Cu>Pb>Li>Ge>Cr>Zn>As>Ba>Ti>Cd>Co for trace elements and Fe>K>Mn>Ca>Al>Na>Si for major elements, respectively. After 2 week-reaction, the adsorption occurs in the order of Cu>As>Zn>Li>Ge>Co>Ti>Ba>Ni>Pb>Cr>Cd>Se for trace elements and Fe>K>Mn>Al, Mg>Ca>Na, Si for major elements, respectively. No significant adsorption as well as selectivity was found for anions. Although halloysite has a 1:1 layer structure, its capacity of adsorption is greater than that of illite with 2:1 structure, probably due to its peculiar mineralogical characteristics. According to FTIR (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy) results, there was no shift in the OH-stretching bond for illite, but the ν1 bond at 3695 cm-1 for halloysite was found to be stronger. In the viewpoint of adsorption, illite is characterized by an inner-sphere complex, whereas halloysite by an outer-sphere complex, respectively. Initial ion activity and dissociation constant of metal elements are regarded as the main factors that control the adsorption behaviors in a natural system containing multicomponents at the acidic condition.

The purpose of this research is to characterize formaldehyde as trace toxic air pollutant in the underground spaces in Gyungnam province. Air samples of formaldehyde were taken in the three underground spaces for ten months from April 2003 to January 2004. The IAQ(Indoor Air Quality) of underground spaces were controled using central ventilation(supply/exhaust) system. The levels of GM of airborne formaldehyde concentrations in three sampling spaces were well below applicable standards, Korean Ministry of Environment, 0.1 ppm. However, some sample of airborne formaldehyde concentrations in underground spaces 'B' and 'C' were in excess of standard, due to the commercial products in shop, structural material, and the climate having high humidity and temperature. There are statistical differences in levels of formaldehyde by sampling spaces (p=0.086).

현재 우리나라의 가장 큰 대기오염의 문제 중 하나가 광화학 오존이라는 것은 누구나 인정하는 사실이다. 그러나 아직까지 우리나라의 광화학 오존에 대한 연구는 일반인의 관심에 비하여 많이 활성화 되지 못한 것이 현실이다(김영성 외, 1998), 또한 정부에서는 오존 경보제와 예보제를 도입 시행 중이지만 주요한 시행 정책 및 예측모델이 주로 선진국의 것을 기본으로 하고 있어 우리의 현실과의 차이가 여러차례 지적된 바 있다(김영성 외, 1998).(중략)

Urbanization has been causing such new pollutants as micro-plastic, thus the environmental impact of new pollutants on ecosystem is rapidly increasing. When it comes to micro-plastic, a representative artificial trace pollutant, its risk has been increased at a much faster rate, however the depth study associated with stormwater sediment and wetland was relatively rare. In this research, soil samples from storm water sediment were analyzed for distribution characteristics of micro-plastics in the J wetland (registered as Ramsar wetland, May 2021 and a representative environmental site in South Korea). Analyzed soil samples found approximately 201 ± 93 particle/kg (based on unit weight, Total micro plastic particles / Total Sample weight) micro-plastics in the samples. When considering the total quantitative numbers in stormwater sediment in the entire area of the J wetland, over 15,000 micro-plastics were estimated to be contaminating such area. In addition, in terms of qualitative numbers, micro-plastics were contaminating the J wetland with 94.7 % ratio of styrofoam type (43.9%) and polyethylene type (50.8%). These research results can be used as base data sets for controlling micro-plastics in the J wetland.
