In the Atmosphere under the various physical and chemical condition different chemical reactions occur and there are a number of air pollutants which are generated by photochemical reaction by absorbing solar energy. Therefor various testing simulation was done as foundation work to develop the numerical model for the prediction of concentration of air pollutants. It was shown change of msjor air pollutants concentration In according to variation of photodissociation speed constant, Kl and Initial condition of air pollutants concentration which plays major role In photochemical reaction. The photochemical reaction model which was used In this study Is found to be useful for understanding relationship among the concentration of reacting air pollutants and the prediction of concentration of air pollutants in urban atmosphere.

In this study, we characterized the physical form of allergenic Cry j 1 in the urban atmosphere. Through an immunofluorescence antibody method, we showed that allergenic Cry j 1 exists as fine particles (${\leq}1.1{\mu}m$). To determine Cry j 1 concentrations and its particle size distribution, we used the ELISA method to confirm that most Cry j 1 exists as fine particles in the urban atmosphere and is found at high concentrations on fine day next to rainy day. Furthermore, we evaluated Cry j 1 denaturation by using the Biacore J system based on the surface plasmon resonence (SPR) principle and sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). We showed that the dissociation constant ($K_D$) of Cry j 1 that has been exposed to urban polluted air is lower ($1.76{\times}10^{-14}$ M) than that of Cry j 1 ($1.32{\times}10^{-9}-3.37{\times}10^{-9}$ M) of original pollen grains that has not been exposed to air pollutants. Cry j 1 turns into low molecular weight proteins by reacting with various acidic solutions. In sum, we showed that allergenic Cry j 1 exists as fine particles that can deposit in the lower respiratory tract. This finding clarifies the relationship between Japanese cedar pollinosis and air pollutants.

본 연구는 도심녹지의 대기질 영향을 정량적으로 해석하기 위해 수행되었다. 도심의 '근린공원 녹지'가 가스상 오염물질인 '질소산화물'과 '황산화물'에 미치는 영향을 분석하였으며, 이를 위해 녹지의 대기환경영향평가 모델링시스템이 개발되었다. 모델링은 서울 도심의 대표적 근린공원이라 할 수 있는 종로구의 파고다 공원 인근지역을 대상으로 수행되었다. 모델링 결과, 도시 근린공원의 수목은 자체적으로 오염물질을 흡수 제거하여 대기질을 개선시키는 기능이 크다고는 볼 수 없지만, 상대적으로 친환경적인 토지이용형태(배출원이 거의 없고, 해당지역 및 주변지역에서 원활한 기류소통 촉진)를 유지함으로서 대기환경 악화를 억제하는 효과는 탁월한 것으로 나타났다. 대기오염이 심한 도시지역에서의 대기정책은 오염원 추가건설 제어를 위한 녹지보호정책을 우선적으로 고려해야 할 것으로 판단된다.
