Degradation performance of environmentally friendly plastics that can be disintegrated by combination of sunlight, microbes in soil, and heat produced in landfills was evaluated for use in industries. Two multi-degradable master batches (MCC-101 and MCC-102 were manufactured, separately mixed with polyethylene using film molding machine to produce 0.025 mm thick films, and exposed to sunlight, microbes, and heat. Low- and high-density polyethylene (LDPE and HDPE) films containing MCC-101 and MCC-102 became unfunctional by increasing severe cleavage at the surface and showed high reduction in elongation after 40 days of exposure to ultraviolet light. LDPE and HDPE films showed significant physical degradation after 100 and 120 days, respectively, of incubation at $68{\pm}2^{\circ}C$. SEM images of films cultured in mixed mold spore suspension at $30^{\circ}C$ and 85% humidity for 30 days revealed accelerated biodegradation on film surfaces by the action of microbes. LDPE films containing MCC-l01 showed absorption of carbonyls, photo-sensitive sites, at $1710\;cm${-1}$ when exposed to light for 40 days, whereas those not exposed to ultraviolet light showed no absorption at the same frequency. MCC-101-based LDPE films showed much lower $M_w$ distribution after exposure to UV than its counterpart, due to agents accelerating photo-degradation contained in MCC-101.

Cotton fabrics was treated with persimmon juice by padding and their dyeability and functionality were assessed including antibacterial activity and deodorization ratio. The merit of padding-based dyeing was easier color reproduction over traditional hand dyeing where various colors and color fastness to light and laundering are hard to obtain. With larger number of padding, the dyed fabrics showed deeper red-yellow colors, which had low brightness and high chromatic colors. The dyed cotton fabrics had a perspiration fastness of 4~5 rating, a rubbing fastness of 3~4 rating, and a washing fastness of 4 rating, As the number of padding and exposed time to sunlight or UV light increase, the values of K/S and ${\Delta}E$ increased and the colors became much deeper gradually. The color development had completed about 70 hours exposure to UV. Among the light sources, the dyed fabrics exposed to UV light showed deeper yellow-red color than those of exposed to sunlight. The cotton fabrics treated with premordants like Al, Cr, Cu, and Sn revealed strong yellow colors, especially the fabrics treated with Fe mordant showed greenish red-yellow colors. As the padding times of dyeing with persimmon juice increased, stiffness and water repellent property were enhanced in warp and weft directions, respectively. Also, the dyed fabrics have good antibacterial activity and deodorization.

As sunlight not always optimized for every terrestrial plant in terms of light quality, quantity and duration, some plants suffer detrimental effects of sunlight exposure under certain conditions. Photoinhibition of photosynthesis is a typical phenomenon representing harmful light effects, commonly observed in many photosynthetic organisms. It is generally accepted that functional, structural loss of photosystem II complex(PSII) is the primary event of photoinhibition. Accumulating data also suggest that singlet oxygen($^1$O$_2$) is the main toxic species directly involved in it. There are two different views on the specific site and mechanism of $^1$O$_2$ production in the photosynthetic membrane. One of them favors the PSII reaction center, where the primary charge pairs recombination occurs as a prerequisite for the generation of $^1$O$_2$, and the other inclines to photosensitized $^1$O$_2$ formation by a substance located outside PSII. This article describes how we, as the advocators of the latter concept, have arrived at the conclusion that $^1$O$_2$ immediately involved in PSII photodamage is largely generated from the Rieske center of the cytochrome b$_{6}$/f complex and diffuses into PSII, attacking the reaction center subunits.s.

Piperophos에 대한 광분해 실험을 수행하여 속도상수와 분해생성물을 측정하였다. 햇빛을 이용한 광분해 실험은 2003년 10월 3일부터 10월 22일 까지 하였으며 상당기간 동안 농약이 햇빛에 안정함을 확인할 수 있었고, humic acid의 광관여 효과가 없음을 알 수 있었다. 자외선을 이용한 광분해 실험에서 piperophos는 자외선을 단독 조사하였을 때 자외선의 세기가 클수록 상대적으로 빠르게 분해되었으며, 광분해 촉매제인 TiO$_2$를 첨가하였을 경우에는 첨가하지 않고 자외선만 조사한 경우보다 상대적으로 느리게 분해되었다. 또, TiO$_2$의 양을 증가시켜도 별 차이가 없었다. 광분해에 의한 분해산물을 확인하고자 UMS분석을 한 결과 piperophos의 분해생성물은 m/z=166의 O,O-dipropyl phosphorodithioate로 추정된다.

Hospital architecture must be planned as a therapeutic space. Numerous studies have proven that exposure to nature has a healing effect. However, research on the architecture itself about this issue is still insufficient. This study analyzed Le Corbusier's Venice hospital project and its architectural configurations with nature. Le Corbusier had been interested in blurring the interior/exterior line to draw nature inside. In his projects, nature was conceived in an abstract sense as "something green." However, in the hospital project, natural elements including vegetation, the lagoon, and light, and the landscape scenery they created, were considered in the harmony of the architectural space. The architectural spaces with courtyards, pilotis, and roof gardens provided views and direct access to nature, and in the interior spaces, the connections to these external spaces and the permeation of views of nature and sunlight were incorporated. Many spaces provided the possibility to actually encounter nature, with a variety of indoor/outdoor space configurations rather than a merely passive placing of some natural elements. This project is considered to be an important reference for contemporary hospital architecture, since the architectural space and nature connected through various spatial configurations also in healthcare programs. As Le Corbusier emphasized, sunlight, vegetation, and also architectural space should be an essential factor in therapeutic hospital architecture planning.

Mercury is emitted to the atmosphere from various natural and anthropogenic sources, and degrades with difficulty in the environment. Mercury exists as various species, mainly elemental ($Hg^0$) and divalent ($Hg^{2+}$) mercury depending on its oxidation states in air and water. Mercury emitted to the atmosphere can be deposited into aqueous environments by wet and dry depositions, and some can be re-emitted into the atmosphere. The deposited mercury species, mainly $Hg^{2+}$, can react with various organic compounds in water and sediment by biotic reactions mediated by sulfur-reducing bacteria, and abiotic reactions mediated by sunlight photolysis, resulting in conversion into organic mercury such as methylmercury (MeHg). MeHg can be bioaccumulated through the food web in the ecosystem, finally exposing humans who consume fish. For a better understanding of how humans are exposed to mercury in the environment, this review paper summarizes the mechanisms of emission, fate and transport, speciation chemistry, bioaccumulation, levels of contamination in environmental media, and finally exposure assessment of humans.

과피흑변은 '부유' 단감(Diospyros kaki, 'Fuyu') 과실의 저장 중에 발생하는 주요 생리적 장해의 하나이다. 부유 과실의 과피에서 페놀화합물의 함량, PPO와 POD의 활성, 지질 포화도를 분석하였다. 페놀화합물은 일광의 방향에 따라 과피에 불균등하게 분포하였는데, 일광 노출면에 축적량이 가장 많았고 그 반대면에서는 가장 적었다. 그러나 수관 내부의 음지 가지에서 수확한 과실의 경우 페놀화합물은 과피에 비교적 고르게 분포되어 있었다. PPO와 POD의 활성 또한 과피에서 고르지 않았으나, 이는 과피흑변이 발생한 과실에서만 그러하였으며, 흑변 부위는 PPO 활성은 가장 높고 POD 활성은 가장 낮았다. 수확 시에 일광면에 표식을 한 과실을 저온에 저장하였을 때, 저장 중 과피흑변의 증상인 운형 흑반은 정확히 표식 부위에 발생하였다. 게다가, 일광면은 높은 지질포화도를 보였는데, 이는 일광에 의해 야기된 고온에 대한 적응을 의미한다. 따라서 이러한 결과로 미루어 볼 때, 부유 과실의 과피흑변 장해는 일광에 노출된 과실의 고온 순화 과피 조직에서 나타나는 저온장해 증상의 일종인 것으로 간주할 수 있을 것이다.

일상적으로 우리가 매일 경험하는 눈, 비, 바람, 기온과 같은 현상을 날씨라고 하며, 일정한 지역에서 장기간에 걸쳐 나타나는 대기현상의 평균적인 상태를 기후라고 한다. 또한 기후가 평균적 상태에 비해 유의미하게 변동하는 것을 기후변화라고 한다. 콘크리트 구조물의 경우 외부 극한기후환경에 노출 될 경우 다양한 문제점들이 발생할 수 있다. 이러한 문제점들 중 최근 가장 문제가 되고 있는 폭우, 폭설과 같은 극한기후인자요소의 작용을 받아 발생 할 수 있는 동결융해에 대한 현상이다. 콘크리트의 경우 온도가 너무 낮거나 높다고 손상이 발생하는 것은 아니라 동결 융해를 반복적으로 받을 경우 심각한 내구성 저하를 나타나게 되며 실제 성능저하가 된 구조물의 경우 회복하기 힘들게 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 극심한 기후변화로 발생 되는 다양한 기후인자 요소 중 풍속-일조시간의 기후변화 양생조건에 대하여 양생 후 콘크리트 동결융해 실험을 접목시켜 상대동탄성계수를 측정하고 이를 바탕으로 성능중심평가 (Performance Based Evaluation (PBE))를 실시하고 대응책을 마련하고자 한다.

현재 전 세계적으로 자연적, 인위적 요인으로 인하여 이상기후가 나타나고 있다. 이상기후의 대표적인 것으로 슈퍼태풍, 극한폭설, 폭염과 같은 극한 기후현상이 초래된다. 1970년대 산업화 시대 이후 급격하게 지구의 온도가 상승하는 것을 알 수 있으며, 이로 인하여 발생하는 가장 큰 문제점은 지구 온난화이다. 지구 온난화에 영향을 미치는 온실가스의 종류로는 이산화탄소, 과불화탄소, 아산화질소, 메탄과 같은 다양한 종류의 화학성분이 존재하며 특히 이산화탄소가 약 90%의 비중을 차지하는 것을 알 수 있다. 콘크리트의 경우 건설재료로써 탁월한 내구성능을 지니고 있으며, 사회기반시설물 건설 재료로 70%이상 사용되고 있다. 그러나 콘크리트는 타설직후 물리 화학적으로 다양한 환경조건으로부터 성능저하 현상이 발생하기도 한다. 특히 대기중의 이산화탄소는 콘크리트 알칼리도 저하에 따른 철근을 부식시키고 내구성 저하를 초래하게 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 풍속, 일조시간에 관하여 양생 한 후 콘크리트의 탄산화 실험을 접목시켜 탄산화 깊이와 탄산화 속도계수를 측정하고 이를 바탕으로 만족도 확률 곡선을 통하여 성능중심평가(Performance Based Evaluation(PBE))를 수행 할 것이다.

The aim of this study is to determine the exposure concentration of tetrabromobisphenol A(TBBPA) in southwestern coast and their photodecomposition rate. Also, it is to identify the radical species of the photodecomposition of TBBPA and their reactive byproducts using the electron spin resonance(ESR) method. TBBPA was not detected in any of the sea water samples from Mokpo, Gunsan, or Goheung. The sediment samples from Mokpo contained not detection(N.D)~50.0 ng/g dry wt., while those from Gunsan contained N.D~28.5 ng/g dry wt. and those from Goheung contained N.D~7.3 ng/g dry wt. The photodecomposition rates were $2.56{\times}10^{-6}/hr$ by visible light(400 nm), $7.98{\times}10^{-6}/hr$ by ultraviolet light(300 nm <), and $6.78{\times}10^{-6}/hr$ by sunlight. Also, we confirmed that singlet oxygen and hydroxyl radicals are the key reactive oxygen species at wavelengths greater than 400 and 300 nm, respectively. This study shows that the main byproducts formed during irradiation at wavelengths above 300 nm are 2,6-dibromobenzosemiquinone radical(2,6-$DBSQ{\cdot}^-$) and g-value 2.0048 doublet spectrum.
