토양증기추출공법(SVE)은 불포화 지반상태에서 휘발성 유기화합물(VOCs)과 유류오염 물질을 제거하는데 효과적이고 경제적인 공법중 하나이다. 그러나 토양증기추출공법은 투기계수가 1 Darcy보다 작은 실트질 흙과 같이 낮은 투기계수를 가진 지반에서는 비효율적이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 기존 연약지반의 지반개량시 사용된 연직배수재(PVDs)를 토양증기추출시스템에 적용하여 짧은 공기배출거리로 최대한 신속하게 오염물질을 제거할 수 있게 하여 투기계수가 낮은 지반에서 오염된 토양을 효과적으로 복원할 수 있는 토양증기추출공법을 적용하는데 목적이 있다. 실험결과, 등가직경이 증가할수록 계산된 투기계수의 값은 감소하였고, 흙시료의 조건이 건조상태일 경우가 습윤상태 보다 공기가 차지하는 비율이 더 커지게 되어 같은 진공이 주어졌을 때, 공기흐름에 대한 낮은 저항으로 흐름률이 더 높게 나타났다.

The aims of this study were to grasp the real condition state and clarify the characteristics and influence of pollutants on the indoor air pollution in occupied apartment units. The research method was to measure the pollution levels of indoor air pollution, and investigate characteristics of the pollutants such as the outdoor environment, elapsed time after construction, finished materials, temperature, relative humidity, space extension, purchase with furniture and electric appliances, built-in closets, and method for cleaning the air. And these were made a comparition between industrial and residential area. The VOCs and formaldehyde concentration in indoor air were measured the 6 household in residental area and 5 household in industrial area. In conclusion, the concentration such as benzene, ethylbenzene, toluene, xylene, styrene showed the pollution state within permissible levels, however formaldehyde concentration has need a lot of attention as ever. And it turned out that the influence with reference to emission from building materials on indoor air pollution lessened under 18 months elapsed time after construction.

The ambient concentrations of gaseous and particulate phase ionic species and gaseous organic species in the Yochon industrial estate were measured during the spring ans summer of 1996. A three-stage filter pack sampler was used to collect particles and gaseous species, and stainless steel air sampling containers were used to collect air samples for organic species analyses. The concentrations of ions in aerosol wree comparable to those measured in Seoul. Aerosols measured were acidic, thus, most volatile acidic species were in the gas phase. The concentrations of organic species were highly variable, implying those were strongly dependent on the emissions of organic species from petrochemical plants. The concentrations of a few hazardous organic components were higher than those in Seoul or some populated areas in USA.

To identify the effect of local air pollutants on the $PM_{2.5}$ level at Gosan, $PM_{2.5}$ composition data, continuous $O_3,\;NO_x,\;SO_2,\;CO$ data, VOCs data, surface wind characteristics, and backward trajectory analysis results were analyzed for the measurements in March 2000 during which high concentrations of mass and anthropogenic ionic species were reported. It was found that the combination of surface wind and continuous gaseous species data can help to identify local effect in Jeju Island. Even in a high $PM_{2.5}$ level case mainly affected by long range transport from China, it was Identified that local effects were also significant for both the duration and pollutants' levels.

Under controlled conditions in an environmental chamber, 24 experiments were performed to compare the ability of a Variable-Air-Volume/Bypass Filtration System(VAV/BPFS) to remove indoor pollutants and to conserve energy with the ability of conventional Variable Air Volume(VAV) system. The specific conclusions of this paper were; first, the VAV/BPFS was more efficient than the VAV system in removing particulate matter, TVOC, and target VOCs. The total effective removal rate of PM for the VAV/BPFS was two times as high as that of the VAV system. The total effective removal rate of TVOC for the VAV/BPFS was 20 percent higher than that of the VAV system. Also each target VOC concentration was reduced by using the VAV/BPFS. Second, clean air delivery rate was increased by using VAV/BPFS due to additional filtration rate. Otherwise, the VAV/BPFS decreased outdoor supply air rate above 25 percent relative to the rate of VAV system. Third, total energy consumption by the VAV/BPFS was lower than that of the VAV system during the period with indoor thermal load, occupied time. The energy saving of the VAV/BPFS ranged from 11 to 16 percent. The VAV/BPFS improves indoor air quality more efficiently than the VAV system, and it reduced energy consumption. Retrofitting the VAV system with the VAV/BPFS was easy The use of VAV/BPFS is, therefore, recommended far buildings with VAV system as well as for buildings at designing stage.

A field comparison study was carried out to quantify differences among various sampling and analytical methods for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) at a site in Vlsan in June 1997. Air sampling containers (SUMMA canisters) were used by the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) and adsorption tubes (carbotrap) were used by Yeungnam University (YN Univ.) for sampling ambient air. Duplicate samples obtained by KIST were analyzed by KIST with a GC-MS system for aromatics and halogenated hydrocarbons and by Atm AA with a GC -FID system for C2∼C9 hydrocarbons, respectively. The adsorption tube samples were analyzed by YN Univ. with a GC-FID system for aromatics. VOC levels for the duplicate canister sampls analyzed by KIST and Atm AA were in good agreement. Concentrations of aromatics by the adsroption tube method were generally higher than those by the canister sampling method by factor of 1.5 to 2.0. Differences between the two sampling methods were discussed.

본 연구는 고체 흡착관과 TD-GC/MS를 이용하여 7종의 휘발성 유기화합물에 대한 열탈착 분석조건을 최적화하였고, 기체상 및 액상 표준물질 첨가한 고체 흡착관을 사용하여 얻어진 검정곡선으로부터 휘발성 유기화합물을 비교 정량하였다. 대응표본 t-검정 결과, 스타일렌을 제외하고 벤젠, 톨루엔, 에틸벤젠, o-, m- 및 p-자일렌을 포함한 6종의 휘발성 유기화합물에 대해서는 액상 표준물질에 의한 표준 흡착관법이 기체상에 의해 제작된 표준 흡착관법이 유의수준 (${\alpha}=0.01$)에서 일치한 반면, 스타일렌에 대해서는 기체상 및 액체상으로 작성된 검정곡선에서 감응인자가 15.6% 차이가 발생하였는데 이것은 두방법 간에 유의한 차이가 있다는 것을 의미하였다. 따라서 BTEX를 포함한 스타일렌을 정량하는데 오차를 감소시키기 위해 액상 표준물질을 이용한 고체상 흡착관법을 사용하였다. 바로 그 점이 이 논문의 핵심내용임. 즉, 고가의 표준가스 대신에 저가의 액상 표준물질을 사용하여 정량하더라도 스타일렌 이외에 거의 동일한 값을 나타내기 때문임. 액체상 표준물법 조건에서 7종의 VOCs의 회수율은 $100{\pm}5%$, 재현성은 0.3~7.7%, 검출한계는 o-자일렌의 $0.01{\mu}g/m^3$에서부터 톨루엔의 $0.27{\mu}g/m^3$까지 범위를 나타내었다. 이러한 최적화된 분석방법을 신축 기숙사, 원룸 아파트 및 신차의 실내공기 중 휘발성 유기화합물을 정량하는데 적용하였다.

In Korea, photochemical air pollution has drawn public attention as one of the major environmental issues since 1990s. To abate ozone and air pollution, new legislation was enacted and regulation was reinforced in conjunction with basic researches. As a result, the air quality has been much improved in terms of primary pollutant such as CO and the occurrence of extremely high ozone concentration. In Seoul, on the other hand, concentrations of ozone and exeedance hours of its national standard have increased since 2005, which is intimately coupled with $NO_2$ variations. It indicates the need for further research at long-term bases to improve our understanding on complex processes determining ozone concentrations. In this paper, the characteristics of ozone variation was analyzed with 13-year measurement data obtained in Seoul. In addition, the previous studies and their main results were summarized that have been performed in association with photochemical air pollution in Korea over the last three decades.

Passive samplers have been used for personal, indoor, and outdoor air monitoring of VOCs at ppb concentrations in community and office environments. The path length of modified passive sampler was shortened, so it was intended to increase an uptake rate. The performance of the modified 3M 3500 organic vapor monitor(OVM) as a tool for assessing exposures to toxic air pollutants in nonoccupational community environments was evaluated using combined controlled test atmospheres of six selected target volatile organic compounds(VOCs): benzene, methyl tert-butyl ether(MTBE), chloroform, 1,4-dichlorobenzene, tetrachloroethylene, and toluene. The experiments were conducted by exposing the dosimeters to concentrations of $50{\sim}100{\mu}g/m^3$ on six face velocity(0.00, 0.02, 0.06, 0.12, 0.20, 0.30 m/sec) for 24 hours. If the uptake rate was increased, that means that we could use the passive sampler more effectively. The uptake rates were increased linearly according to reduce the path length. Although the diffusion path length was shortened, the change of uptake rate was within ${\pm}25%$ of theoretical value, indicating that the modified passive sampler(TM) can be effectively used over the range of concentrations and environmental conditions tested with a 24-h sampling period if the face velocities were over 0.12 m/s for 6 components of VOCs. But when the face velocities were less than 0.12 m/s, uptake rates were reduced more than expected values. So, the passive sampler with the shortened path length should be used at indoor or outdoor environment where the face velocity should be over about 0.10 m/s. If the path length was shortened more, the uptake rate was more effected by starvation.
