본 연구에서는 지하역사와 지상역사에서의 실내공기질을 측정하고, 외부 공기에 의한 영향 정도를 확인하고자 하였다. 측정된 물질은 '실내공기질 관리법'상에서 유지기준과 권고기준으로 지정된 항목 중, 농도가 검출되지 않은 석면을 제외한 미세먼지($PM_{10}$), 이산화탄소($CO_2$), 일산화탄소(CO), 이산화질소($NO_2$), 폼알데하이드(HCHO), 오존($O_3$), 총부유세균(TAB), 총휘발성유기화합물(TVOC), 라돈 등 9종이다. 또한 미세먼지, 이산화질소, 오존 등 세 가지 물질은 I/O ratio를 통해 외기에의한 영향을 확인하였다. 공기질 측정결과 지상역사에 비해 지하역사에서 미세먼지, 폼알데하이드, 총휘발성유기화합물, 이산화질소, 라돈 등이 높은 농도로 검출되었으며, 이는 지하역사 내부에 그 오염물질의 발생요소가 존재하기 때문으로 판단된다. 오존 농도는 지상역사에서 지하역사보다 높은 농도로 검출되었으며, 특히 외부로 노출되어있는 지상역사 승강장에서 높은 농도를 보임으로써 외기 유입에 의한 영향이 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서, 외기에 의한 영향을 받는 오염물질은 역사의 기계환기시 제거 과정을 거쳐 오염물질의 실내유입을 차단하고, 지하역사에서 기인한 미세먼지 등의 물질들은 실내에서 그 발생원에 따른 별도의 처리가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

Nutrients, chlorophyll-a, particulate organic carbon (POC), and environmental conditions were extensively investigated in the northern East China Sea (ECS) near Cheju Island during three seasonal cruises from 2003 to 2005. In spring and autumn, relatively high concentrations of nitrate ($2.6{\sim}12.4\;{\mu}mol\;kg^{-1}$) and phosphate ($0.17{\sim}0.61\;{\mu}mol\;kg^{-1}$) were observed in the surface waters in the western part of the study area because of the large supply of nutrients from deep waters by vertical mixing. The surface concentrations of nitrate and phosphate in summer were much lower than those in spring and autumn, which is ascribed to a reduced nutrient supply from the deep waters in summer because of surface layer stratification. While previous studies indicate that upwellings of the Kuroshio Current and the Changjiang (Yangtze River) are main sources of nutrients in the ECS, these two inputs seem not to have contributed significantly to the build-up of nutrients in the northern ECS during the time of this study. The lower nitrate:phosphate (N:P) ratio in the surface waters and the positive correlation between the surface N:P ratio and nitrate concentration indicate that nitrate acts as a main nutrient limiting phytoplankton growth in the northern ECS, contrary to previous reports of phosphate-limited phytoplankton growth in the ECS. This difference arises because most surface water nutrients are supplied by vertical mixing from deep waters with low N:P ratios and are not directly influenced by the Changjiang, which has a high N:P ratio. Surface chlorophyll-a levels showed large seasonal variation, with high concentrations ($0.38{\sim}4.14\;mg\;m^{-3}$) in spring and autumn and low concentrations ($0.22{\sim}1.05\;mg\;m^{-3}$) in summer. The surface distribution of chlorophyll-a coincided fairly well with that of nitrate in the northern ECS, implying that nitrate is an important nutrient controlling phytoplankton biomass. The POC:chlorophyll-a ratio was $4{\sim}6$ times higher in summer than in spring and autumn, presumably because of the high summer phytoplankton death rate caused by nutrient depletion in the surface waters.

Quantitative assessment on the impact from North Korean emissions to surface particulate matter(PM) concentration in the Seoul Metropolitan Area (SMA), South Korea is conducted using a 3-dimensional chemistry transport model. Transboundary transport of air pollutants and their precursors are important to understand regional air quality in East Asian countries. As North Korea locates in the middle of main transport pathways of Chinese pollutants, quantifiable estimation of its impact is essential for policy making in South Korean air quality management. In this study, the Community Multiscale Air Quality Modeling System is utilized to simulate regional air quality and its sensitivity, using the Comprehensive Regional Emissions inventory for Atmospheric Transport Experiment 2015 and the Clean Air Policy Support System 2013 emissions inventories for North and South Korea, respectively. Contributions were estimated by a brute force method, perturbing 50% of North and South Korean emissions. Simulations demonstrate that North Korean emissions contribute $3.89{\mu}g/m^3$ of annual surface PM concentrations in the SMA, which accounts 14.7% of the region's average. Impacts are dominant in nitrate and organic carbon (OC) concentrations, attributing almost 40% of SMA OC concentration during January and February. Clear seasonal variations are also found in North Korean emissions contribution to South Korea (and vice versa) due to seasonal characteristics of synoptic weather, especially by the change of seasonal flow patterns.

Retention ponds have been dug along some of the motorways in France to minimize environmental pollution by keeping pollutants from spreading over the surrounding area. In order to study heavy metal pollution and diagenetic behaviour of sediments, eight core samples were collected from the bottom of a retention pond located along the A-71 motorway in Sologne. The metal concentrations in interstitial waters and extractable metal concentrations in sediment layers using sequential chemical extraction method were determined. The depth distributions of Pb, Zn and Cd concentrations in interstitial water and particulate sediments were studied, and distribution coefficients (KD) were also determined to investigate the environmental mobility of these elements. In addition. the index of geoaccumulation and the Fe-normalized enrichment factor were calculated to differentiate the natural accumulation from the anthropogenic pollution. The vertical concentration profiles of heavy metals in core sediments indicate that surface enrichments (0~2 cm) of Pb, Zn, Cd and organic carbon were always observed at each core sample, due to the early diagenesis. However, the major factor contributing to the accumulation of Cd at the sediment surface is attributed to the dissolution of Cd from polluted roadside soil during periods of rainstorms and its subsequent redeposition on the sediment surface after being carried to the retention pond. A comparison of the KD values indiactes that a decrease in the KD values for Pb and Zn was observed with depth while KD values for Cd increase. According to the KD values. the relative mobility of studied metals was determined as following: Mn>Zn>Cd>Pb, for the upper layer, and Mn>Cd>Zn>Pb, for the lower layers.

Due to the depletion of fossil fuels and environmental pollution, demand for alternative energy is gradually increasing. Among the various methods, a method to convert biomass into alternative fuel has been proposed. The bio-fuel obtained from biomass through pyrolysis process is called pyrolysis oil (PO) or bio-oil. Because PO is difficult to use directly in conventional engines due to its poor fuel properties, various methods have been proposed to upgrade pyrolysis-oil. The simplest approach is to mix it with conventional fossil fuels. However, due to their different polarity of PO and fossil fuel, direct mixing is impossible. To resolve this problem, emulsification of two fuels with a proper surfactant was proposed, but it costs additional time and cost. Alternatively, the use of alcohol fuels as an organic solvent significantly improve the fuel properties such as fuel stability, calorific value and viscosity. In this study, blends of diesel, n-butanol, and coffee ground pyrolysis oil (CGPO) which is one of the promising PO, was applied to diesel generator. Combustion and emissions characteristics of blended fuels were investigated under the entire load range. Experimental results show that ignition delay is similar to that of diesel at high load. Although, hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide emissions are comparable to diesel, significant reduction of nitrogen oxides and particulate matter emissions were observed.

수심이 얕고 부영양화 특성이 강한 신구저수지에서는 강우시기에 집중 호우등으로 인하여 유입수로를 통하여 외부기원 유기물이 유입되는 경향이 있다. 이러한 외부기원 유기물은 환경변화(탁도, 수온약층, POC/PN), 입자성 유기물의 ${\delta}^{13}C$ 및 ${\delta}^{15}N$ 값으로 특성 지어진다. 동물플랑크톤의 경우, 강우기 이전에는 내부기원 유기물을 먹이원으로 하는 것으로 여겨지나 강우기 이후에는 내부기원 유기물 이외에 외부에서 유입된 외부기원 유기물을 섭식하고 있는 것으로 나타나고 있다. 특히 B. longirostris이 다른 동물플랑크톤 (D. brachyurum, D. thmoasi)에 비하여 기원이 다른 입자성 유기물을 섭식하고 있음을 시사하고 있다. 이러한 변화는 상위섭식자인 어류의 먹이원 변화를 야기하며, Z. platupus은 내부기원 유기물 혹은 이를 먹이원으로 하는 하위 소비자를 섭식하지만, C. carpio와 P. parva은 강우기 이후에는 외부기원 유기물 혹은 이를 먹이원으로 하는 하위 소비자를 섭식하는 것으로 여겨진다. 수심이 얕고 유입 수로가 존재하는 농업용 저수지의 경우에는 강우 후 외부기원 유기물이 수생태계 에너지 흐름에 크게 영향을 주는 것으로 사료된다.

태평양 클라리온-클리퍼톤 균열대 지역내 KODOS(Korea Deep Ocean Study)-89 지 역에 분포하는 퇴적물중 색상차이가 뚜렸한 표층의 밝은 황색(light yellow brown) 층 과 그 하부의 어두운 갈색(dark brown) 층의 지구화학적 특성 및 원인을 규명하였다. 연구 결과 주로 4기에 퇴적된 표층의 황색 퇴적물 (unit A)에 비해 3기에 퇴적된 하부 의 갈색 퇴적물 (unit B)중 smectite 함량, 함수량, 미세망간 단괴 및 금속함량은 높 고, 반면 POC(particulate organic carbon) 함량은 낮다. 이러한 smectite와 POC의 함 량차이 unit B 에서는 unit A에 비해 상대적으로 자생 smectite의 형성시간이 길고, 유기물 분해가 장기간 이루어져 발생한 것으로 사료된다. 또한 unit B에서 함수량이 높은 원인은 unit B 중 높은 smectite 함량에 따른 점토광물간 전기적 반발력과, 난용 성 spicule 또는 spine의 많은 잔존에 의한 성진 조직으로 커진 공극율 때문으로 생각 된다. 그리고 unit B에서 망간, 니켈, 구리 등의 금속함량이 높은 원인은 퇴적물내의 높은 미세망간단괴 함량 때문이다. 위의 결과들을 종합적으로 볼 때 unit A와 unit B 의 지구화학적 특성차이는 속성작용의 지속시간 차이에 기인했으리라 생각된다.

Daily PM_2.5 was collected during summer period in 2020 in Gwangju to investigate its chemical and light absorption properties. In addition, real-time light absorption coefficients were observed using a dual-spot 7-wavelength aethalometer. During the study period, SO₄^2- was the most important contributor to PM_2.5, accounting for on average 33% (10-64%) of PM_2.5. The chemical form of SO₄^2- was appeared to be combination of 70% (NH₄)₂SO₄ and 30% NH₄HSO₄. Concentration-weighted trajectory (CWT) analysis indicated that SO₄^2- particles were dominated by local pollution, rather than regional transport from China. A combination of aethalometer-based and water-extracted brown carbon (BrC) absorption indicated that light absorption of BrC due to aerosol particles was 1.6 times higher than that due to water-soluble BrC, but the opposite result was found in absorption Ångström exponent (AAE) values. Lower AAE value by aerosol BrC particles was due to the light absorption of aerosol BrC by both water-soluble and insoluble organic aerosols. The BrC light absorption was also influenced by both primary sources (e.g., traffic and biomass burning emissions) and secondary organic aerosol formation. Finally the ATR-FTIR analysis confirmed the presence of NH₄⁺, C-H groups, SO₄^2-, and HSO₄^2-. The presence of HSO₄^2- supports the result of the estimated composition ratio of inorganic sulfate ((NH₄)₂SO₄) and bisulfate (NH₄HSO₄).

Semi-continuous measurements of $PM_{2.5}$ mass, organic and elemental carbon were made for the period of January to October 2014, at six national air monitoring stations in Korea. OC and EC concentrations showed a clear seasonal variation with the highest in winter (January) and the lowest in summer (August). In winter, the high carbonaceous concentrations were likely influenced by increased fuel combustion from residential heating. OC and EC concentrations varied by monitoring stations with 5.9 and $1.7{\mu}g/m^3$ in Joongbu area, 4.2 and $1.2{\mu}g/m^3$ in Honam area, 4.0 and $1.3{\mu}g/m^3$ in Yeongnam area, 3.7 and $1.6{\mu}g/m^3$ in Seoul Metropolitan area, 3.0 and $0.8{\mu}g/m^3$ in Jeju Island, 2.9 and $0.7{\mu}g/m^3$ in Baengnyeong Island respectively. The concentrations of OC and EC comprised 9.6~ 15.5% and 2.4~ 4.7% of $PM_{2.5}$. Urban Joongbu area located adjacent to the intersection of several main roads showed the highest carbon concentration among six national air monitoring station. On the other hand, background Baengnyeong Island showed the lowest carbon concentration and the highest OC/EC ratio (4.5). During the haze episode, OC and EC were enhanced with increase in $PM_{2.5}$ about 1.3~ 3 and 1.3~ 4.0 times respectively. The concentrations of OC, EC in the Asian dust case are about 1~ 2.4 times greater than in the nondust case. The origins of air mass pathways arriving at Seoul, using the backward trajectory analysis, can be mostly classified into 6 groups (Sector I Northern Korea including the sea of Okhotsk, Sector II Northern China including Mongolia, Sector III Southern China, Sector IV South Pacific area, Sector V Japan, Sector VI Southern Korea area). When an air mass originating from northern China and Mongolia, the OC concentrations were the most elevated, with a higher OC/EC ratio (2.4~ 3.3), and accounting for 17% of $PM_{2.5}$ mass on average.

여름철 인공호수(간월호, 부남호)로 부터의 담수방류시 천수만 수질(영양염, 유기물, 미량금속)에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위해 2011년 6, 7, 8, 10월에 평상시와 담수방류 시기 각 2회씩의 해수를 채취하였다. 담수가 방류되면 용존 무기 질소(DIN)의 농도가 만내의 모든 수층에서 약 3-4배 증가하였고, 평상시 암모니아성 질소(NH₄⁺-N)가 우세하다가 담수방류시 질산성 질소(NO₃^--N)가 우세하였다. 용존 무기인(DIP)의 경우 내만 표층에서 절반으로 감소하였고 저층에서는 1.5배 증가하였으며 규산염(Si(OH)₄)은 내만 저층에서 2배 증가하는 모습을 보였다. Redfield ratio는 담수 방류시 인 제한 환경으로 바뀌었다. 용존 유기 탄소(DOC) 및 질소(DON)는 약 2배 증가하였고, 입자상 유기 탄소(POC), 질소(PON), 인(POP) 및 생물기원 규소(Bio-SiO₂)는 내만 표층에서 약 2배 이상 증가했다. 용존 금속(Fe, Co, Ni, Cu)은 내만의 표층에서 증가하였으나, 용존 Cd의 경우 만의 표층에서 절반으로 감소하였다. 이와 같은 결과로 미루어 볼 때 영양염, 유기물 및 금속 농도가 높은 인공호수의 물이 만으로 유입되면, 천수만 내의 영양염 및 용존 유기물, 금속농도가 증가하고, 식물플랑크톤 대증식이 발생하여 표층에서 산소 과포화, 저층에서 빈산소를 발생시킨다. 빈산소와 함께 내만의 저층에서는 매우 높은 농도의 영양염(DIN, DIP, Si(OH)₄) 농도가 존재하였다. 수질 평가 지수값을 통해 천수만의 부영양화 정도를 평가한 결과, 평상시에는 3등급 이하로 나타나다가 방류시 5등급으로 바뀌게 됨을 알 수 있었다.
