This study was conducted as a preliminary study for the mitigation of acid rain which has been a serious environmental problem in both regional and global scales. In this study, sulfur dioxide emission was estimated at city and gun(county) level. Also, this study represents the estimated sulfur dioxide emission with using a geographical information system which includes administrative boundaries. The results of this study are expected to serve as a sulfur dioxide emission mitigation policy guidance and a basis of a future emission model and a comprehensive global warming model. Moreover, thanks to the geographical information system, the results are also expected to help carrying out clear policy goals and setting up sulfur dioxide emission mitigation measures in regional environmental planning processes, which currently have been implemented in some cities and counties in Korea.

NOx coming from combustion make photochemical smog and acid rain, cause chronic respiratory disease resulting in critical hazard to environment and human health. Most composition of NOx coming from combustion is NO and the remaining small amount of $NO_x$ is $NO_2$. Currently, many technologies are developed and used to control NO release. One of these technologies is control technology through use of the adsorbent. In this study, two methods were used to make the adsorbent and compared. KOH and ${\gamma}{\;}-alumina$ were mixed by using two methods. Then, the experimental conditions were as follows: the concentrations of KOH used were 1 mole, 0.5 mole, and 0.1 mole, respectively and the amount of ${\gamma}{\;}-alumina$$250^{\circ}C$. As a result, precipitation method, which is one of the production methods of the adsorbent, showed the most removal efficiency as KOH concentration as 1 mole and reaction temperature as $100^{\circ}C$ were used. This study shows 40 to 60% of micropores of ${\gamma}{\;}-alumina$ was lost by the reaction with KOH through the analysis of SEM and BET Finally, KOH is the most predominant factor to control the removal of NO rather than micropore of the adsorbent.

This study used questionnaires to investigate how pre-service elementary teachers understand ocean acidification. As a result of gender, female teachers were more aware of ocean acidification than male teachers, but male teachers had a higher average rate of correct answers, with a lower standard deviation. Teachers from the natural sciences knew more about ocean acidification than did teachers the liberal arts. Teachers ranked environmental crisis in order of most dangerous to least dangerous as follow: global warming and the greenhouse effect, ozone depletion, ocean acidification, and acid rain. About 46.7% of teachers learn about ocean acidification through education, followed by broadcasts, school lectures and the internet. The educational materials most desired for teachers were videos related to ocean acidification. Pre-service elementary teachers have two broad perspectives on ocean acidification. Firstly, they refer to economic loss and food shortages, and secondly, they note that there is a need for improved awareness and publicity about ocean acidification. The role of elementary school teachers is important because their awareness of environmental issues has a considerable effect on teachers perception of the environment. Revitalizing education on ocean acidification and government support are necessary to effectively communicate the seriousness of ocean acidification. Lastly, we need to study ocean acidification in detail so as to be able to persevere toward protecting our ocean ecosystem.

The world is facing a serious energy problem which destroying the environment. In addition, fossil fuel such as oil and coal that caused global warming and the environmental problems due to acid rain had been gradually exhausted. To solve this problem that has crisis of energy, it is necessary time and effort for research and development of renewable energy in the future. As alternative energy, small hydropower generation which has output of less or equal to 100kW is attracting considerable attention. This is because of its small, simple, renewable, and large amount of energy resources. By using a small hydropower generator of which main concept is based on using the different water pressure levels in pipe lines, energy which was initially wasted by use reducing of a valve at the end of the pipeline, is collected by turbine in the small hydropower generator. In this study, we investigated the influence of the number of runner vanes on the characteristics of tubular-type hydroturbine.

Interest in electric vehicle is on the rise due to global eco-friendly policies. To improve the efficiency of electric vehicles, it is essential to reduce weights of components. Since electric vehicles have various electronic equipment, the research on stray current corrosion is required. In this research, a galvanostatic corrosion experiment was performed on 6061-T6 Al alloy for electric vehicle battery housing using chloride concentration and applied current density as variables in a solution simulating an acid rain environment. As a result of the experiment, when chloride concentration and applied current density were increased, corrosion damage became larger. In particular, pitting damage was dominant at an applied current density of 0.1 mA/cm². Pitting damage over the entire surface was found at a current density of 1.0 mA/cm². In conclusion, chloride concentration had a relatively large effect on localized corrosion. The applied current density had a great effect on uniform corrosion. However, in the case of applied current density, localized corrosion was also greatly affected by interaction with chloride.

Recently, special attention has been given to acid rain and its problem to environment such as acid precipitation and air pollution in East Asia. In the present study, rainwater samples were collected from Apr to Nov in 2012. The samples were chemically characterized for the assessment of emission sources. Suwon and Yeoju regions, typical agricultural areas in South Korea, were chosen for study sites. Ion composition and cation-affected neutralization were determined to evaluate the contribution of cations to the acidity of rainwater. Ion and electrical conductivity between the measured and the estimated showed high correlation. The cations observed in Suwon and Yeoju were $Na^+$ > $NH_4{^+}$ > $K^+$ > $Ca^{2+}$ > $Mg^{2+}$ > $H^+$ and $Na^+$ > $K^+$ > $NH_4{^+}$ > $Ca^{2+}$ > $Mg^{2+}=H^+$, respectively. The anions of all sites were $SO{_4}^{2-}$ > $NO_3{^-}$ > $Cl^-$. While the amounts of sulfate, one of the major dissolved components of rainwater, were 77.6 and 75.6 ueq $L^{-1}$ in Suwon and Yeoju, the ones of NSS-$SO{_4}^{2-}$ (Non-Sea Salt sulfate) were 83 and 82% in Suwon and Yeoju, respectively. The comparison of observed pH values ($pH_{obs}$) with the theoretical pH values ($pH_{the}$) showed that the neutralization of rain water considerably went along during the study periods. The highest amounts of rainfall throughout the year in Suwon and Yeoju were 572.3 and 484.6 mm in July, and its corresponding nitrogen loadings in Suwon and Yeoju were 5.28 and 3.50 kg $ha^{-1}$, respectively. The major ion contents for crop growth with $SO{_4}^{2-}$, $Ca^{2+}$, $K^+$ and $Mg^{2+}$ were 51.7, 5.2, 11.8 and 1.8 kg $ha^{-1}$ in Suwon and 34.2, 4.0, 4.2 and 1.1 kg $ha^{-1}$ in Yeoju.

Galvanizing method has been extensively used to the numerous constructional steels such as a guard rail of high way, various types of structural steel for ship building and various types of steels for the industrial fields etc.. However, the galvanized structures would be inevitably corroded rapidly with increasing exposed time because an acid rain due to environmental contamination has been much dropped more and more. Therefore, it has been made an effort to improve the corrosion resistance of the galvanizing film through various methods. In this study, comparison evaluation on the corrosion resistance of three types of the samples, that is, the hot dip galvanizing with pure zinc(GI), the hot dip galvanizing of alloy bath with zinc and aluminum(GL) and the pure zinc galvanizing steel immersed again to chromate treatment bath(Chro.)were investigated using electrochemical methods in 1% $H_2SO_4$ solution. The Chro. and GI samples exhibited the highest and lowest corrosion resistance respectively in 1% $H_2SO_4$ solution, however, the GI sample revealed the highest impedance at 0.01 Hz due to its high resistance polarization caused by corrosion products deposited on the surface, while Chro. sample exhibited the lowest impedance at 0.01 Hz because of little corrosion products on the surface. Consequently, it is suggested that the chromate treated steel has a better corrosion resistance in acid environment compared to pure galvanizing(GI) or galvalume(GL) steels.

온배수와 산성화는 오래 전부터 전 세계를 통해 육수학과 수생태학에서 많은 관심을 갖게 한 분야이었다. 그러나 우리나라는 아직까지 초보적이거나 접근 조차 미진한 실정에 있다. 본 연구는 2015년 12월부터 2016년 9월까지 경기도 포천에 위치한 계류(부소천)의 최상류 구간 5개 지점(BSU (상류), HSW (온천폐수 방류구), BSD1~3 (하류))에서 수질환경과 부착조류 생태계에 온배수와 산성비의 시공간적 영향을 파악하고자 매월 조사하였다. 조사기간 동안 수온의 범위(평균값)는 $1.7{\sim}28.8^{\circ}C$($15.0^{\circ}C$)이었다. 특히 HSW의 범위와 평균값은 17.5 (1월)~$28.8^{\circ}C$(9월), $24.2{\pm}3.7^{\circ}C$로서 고온을 유지하였고, 다른 지점에 비해 월등히 높았다. 온배수는 하천수의 수온 증가와 영양염 펄스로서 작용하였으며, 그 영향은 갈수기와 저온기 (12월~3월)에 우세하였다. 그리고 온도의 영향권은 유하 거리에 따라 멀지 않았으나, P N 영양염은 다소 원거리까지 미칠 수 있는 잠재력을 갖고 있었다. pH는 5.1~8.4 (6.9)이었다. 수중 pH 감소의 원인은 계절적으로 강설과 산성비의 습윤 산성강하물에 있었고, 그 영향은 부착 규조류 중 호산성 종조성(Eunotia pectinalis, Tabellaria flocculosa)의 생물학적 분포에서 간헐적(3월과 8월)으로 확인되었다. 부소천의 수질과 부착조류 생태계는 열 오염, 부영양화 및 산성화에 의한 역동적인 상태이었고, 계류, 온배수 및 대기오염과 같은 지리 지역적 특성에 기반한 인위적 영향이 지배적이었다.
