This study was carried out to estimate the emission reduction rates for the regional allowable emissions by special measures to achieve the target air quality in Seoul Metropolitan Area (SMA). A modeling system was designed to validate the details in enforcement regulations set up by local governments based on the current status and plans for air quality improvement. Modeling system was composed of meteorological model (MM5), emission model (SMOKE), and air quality model (CMAQ). Predicted results by this system show quiet well not only daily air pollutants concentration but also the tendencies of wind direction, wind speed and temperature. To achieve the target air quality in Seoul Metropolitan Area (SMA), emission allowances are estimated by seasons and regions. Referring to the base year 2002, it was estimated that emission reduction rates to achieve the intermediate goal in 2007 were 14.2% and 16.6% for NOx and $PM_{10}$, respectively. It was also estimated that 52% of NOx and 48% of $PM_{10}$ reductions from the base year 2002 would be required to accomplish the air quality improvement goal of 22 ppb for $NO_2$, and $40mg/m^3$ for $PM_{10}$ in year 2014. To improve $NO_2$ and $PM_{10}$ concentration through emissions reduction policies, it was found that emissions reduction for the on-road mobile sources would be the most effective in SMA.

The air pollutant emission from the railroad diesel locomotive is still a significant environmental concern in many countries including Korea and Unites States. The emission characteristics of the railroad diesel locomotive were extensively studied in this study. Particulate matter (PM) and nitrogen oxides ($NO_x$) emitted from a large locomotive engine (2-cycle, 16-cylinder, and 3,000-horsepower) under various engine-rating conditions was analyzed with a scanning mobility particle sizer and a gas stack sampler by using a dilution tunnel. We could gain the emission values of 2.1 g/horsepower-hour for PM and 42.7 g/horsepower-hour for $NO_x$. We proposed the emission reduction goal of the railroad diesel locomotive for Korea in comparison with the regulation of United States.

자동차에서 배출되는 대기오염 물질로 인하여 인체 건강과 일상 활동이 막대한 피해를 입고 있어 대기오염 물질을 저감하기 위한 새로운 친환경 자동차나 자동차 개조 장치의 개발과 적용이 필요하다. 하지만 이러한 기술의 환경적 편익과 비용이 기존의 경제성 평가에서는 반영되지 않아 친환경기술의 보급에 장애가 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 자동차에서 발생하는 대기오염 물질이 우리 사회에 끼치는 사회적 비용을 고려하여 친환경기술의 경제적 타당성을 평가하는 방법론을 제안하고, 이 방법론의 적용성과 타당성을 보여주기 위해 사례연구를 실시하였다. 현재 국내에서는 대기오염 물질의 사회적 비용이 평가되지 않았기 때문에 유럽에서 평가한 사회적 단위비용을 바탕으로 국내 자동차 배출가스 측정기준, 구매력 지수, 환율, 소비자 물가지수를 이용하여 국내에서 활용가능한 사회적 단위비용을 도출함으로써 경제적 타당성 평가에 활용할 수 있게 하였다. 사례연구에서는 경유버스를 개조하여 경유와 압축천연가스를 함께 사용할 수 있도록 하는 혼소시스템 기술에 대해 대기오염 물질의 사회적 비용을 포함한 경제성을 평가하였다. 본 연구에서 제안된 방법론은 자동차뿐만 아니라 다양한 친환경 기술, 사업, 정책의 타당성을 평가하는 데 활용될 수 있다.

본 연구에서는 연료형 목재제품 중 국내 유통되고 있는 3종의 성형탄(숯가루 성형탄, 톱밥성형탄, 구멍탄착화용 성형탄)을 선정하여 연소특성, 유해물질 함량, 연소 시 발생되는 대기오염물질 배출 특성에 관한 연구를 진행하였다. 연소시 숯가루 성형탄이 톱밥성형탄보다 더 높은 일산화탄소를 발생시켰으며, 성형목탄의 연소 시 발생하는 대기오염물질 배출량을 대기환경보전법 배출허용기준과 비교 시 전체 제품의 질소·황산화물 배출 기준에 미치지 못하였다. 2019년 기준 배출 허용기준으로 일산화탄소 200 ppm, 질소 산화물 150 ppm, 황산화물 100 ppm이며, 이산화탄소 배출 기준은 변경되지 않았다. 본 연구에 의해 생성된 연소가스 분석을 기초 자료로 성형목탄의 연소 시 생성되는 대기오염물질의 배출 계산을 위한 표준에 대한 연구 및 성형목탄의 불완전 연소에 의해 생성되는 일산화탄소 저감에 대한 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

Purpose - As the severity of air pollution caused by the shipping industry is becoming evident, port authorities have started making efforts to reduce air pollutants. Considering the limitations of the currently implemented emission-control area (ECA) and vessel-speed reduction program (VSRP), which are narrow in the designation range and navigation behavior of ships, this study proposes an emission-control route (ECR) that can complement the aforementioned two environmental policies. Design/methodology - This study was conducted on Korea-China trade service routes (ports of call) of regular liners. This study employed vessel-specific data, which is from an automatic identification system (AIS), for 1,728 maritime transportations performed by 387 container vessels during one year (July 1, 2021, to June 30, 2022). Performing a scenario analysis, this study analyzed the effectiveness of reduced air-pollutant emissions. Findings - This study found that the implementation of ECRs could increase average voyage time by 12.38%-25.28% but reduced air-pollutant emissions by 29.02%-43.54%. Additionally, the increase in average voyage times reduces the anchorage time of ships outside ports, providing an incentive for ship operators to voluntarily participate in compliance with regulations, thereby contributing to the establishment of a virtuous cycle of air-environmental policies related to ships. Originality/value - This study aims to verify the policy effectiveness by designing an ECR scope for liner trade routes between Korea and China. Therefore, originality and the value of this study includes conceptualizing the ECR system, analyzing its environmental performance, and exploring new policies that can be implemented while complementing existing policies.

The air pollutants from vehicle exhaust gas are affected by many factors including fuel qualities, engine and vehicle technologies, driving patterns. In particular, fuel qualities and after-treatment devices could directly affect the emission level of pollutants. The pollutant reduction characteristics that caused by enforced fuel quality standard were analyzed. Three types of test fuel were selected in accordance with Korean automotive fuel standard in 2006, 2009, 2012 and used for vehicle emission test in chassis dynamometer. European COPERT correction equation of fuel impact was considered as reference information to quantify the vehicle emission test results. The contribution rates of exhaust emission by COPERT correction equation showed that aromatic compounds and oxygen contents in gasoline fuel was most important. In case of diesel fuel, cetane index and polycyclic aromatic compounds accounted for the greater part. The exhaust emission effects by COPERT correction equation revealed that CO and VOC was increased 0.86%, 1.57% respectively in after 2009 gasoline when compared to before 2009 gasoline fuel. In case of light-duty diesel vehicle CO, VOC and PM were decreased in range of 3~7%. The result from this study could be provided for developing future fuel standards and be used to fundamental information for Korean clean air act.

The increasing consumption of pseudo-petroleum products (PPP) has been disturbing the national petroleum market. The use of PPP lead to tax evasion, disturbance of sound trading principles, component corrosion of cars, and explosion accident. Also, PPP have emitted hazardous air pollutants (HAP) including the carcinogenic aromatic hydrocarbons, PAHs and aldehydes more than regular-petroleum products. It thus has potentials to cause many environmental and health care problems. In this study, benzene, toluene and xylene emissions from road transport vehicles due to the use of pseudo-gasoline are estimated for the year 2008. The results of our study provide emission estimates of benzene, toluene and xylene for the year as 405, 1,711, 717 tonne/yr, respectively for regular-gasoline. BTX emissions are calculated as 452~515, 1,882~2,264 and 732~752 tonne/yr when the amount of pseudo-gasoline is estimated to account for 6~13% for regular-gasoline consumption. BTX emissions increased as much as 12~27, 10~32, 2~5% by using pseudo-gasoline. It is found that the pseudo-gasoline should be the key component to produce HAP in urban area.

We have closely examined the concentration change characteristics, emission amounts, and the material balance of hazardous air pollutants at both early and later stages of the prevention facilities. These results will be uses as the basic data when preparing for the regulatory and management plans for hazardous air pollutants. The results of the study on heavy metals illustrated that the content of heavy metals in sludge across five facilities were as follows: copper> zinc> chrome> nickel> cadmium> mercury. In terms of heavy metal content in swage sludge, the sludge in incinerating facilities other than the sludge in the D incinerating facility containing industrial water waste, was examined in order to satisfy the ocean contamination standard and fertilizer specifications. Most of the items were shown to have satisfied the emission tolerance standards in the latter part of the prevention facilities(The average elimination rate was over 90%). Therefore, it is concluded that swage sludge containing high-concentrate heavy metals needs to be incinerated rather than recycled as fertilizer.

For the efficient control of atmospheric quality, it is so important to predict the influence accurately of which the air pollutant emitted into the atmosphere. Atmospheric dispersion model enables to simulate and grasp the atmospheric condition occurred due to the emission of pollutants. The result of model is largely affected by the amount of emission, the characteristics of physical and chemical process, meteorological input data, and the receptor which the concentration is calculated. The aim of this research, therefore, is to suggest more suitable model in Pusan area than other areas by performing TCM2, CDM2.0 and ISCLT2 models. As the basic work for executing the model, we computed the amount of emission of air pollutants in Pusan at 1992 and analyzed the occurrence frequency of atmospheric stability for recent decade(1985~19941, CDM2.0 showed the similar result relatively with observed value in the case of full year(1992), fall and winter, and ISCLT2 brought more suitable result in spring for Pusan area. As the result of this research, in future, it is necessary for us to develop the numerical model considering the topographical characteristics, to select the proper observation site and to increase the observation site for Pusan.
