대한민국은 인구 증가와 산업 발전의 결과로 많은 양의 오염물질을 배출하는 국가이자, 지리적 위치로 인해 월경성 대기오염의 심각한 영향을 받는 국가이다. 국내외에서 발생하는 오염물질이 대한민국의 대기오염에 큰 피해를 야기하는 상황에서, 대기 오염물질 배출원의 위치 정보는 대기 중 오염물질의 이동 및 분포를 파악하고, 국가 차원의 대기오염 관리 및 대응 전략을 수립하는 데 매우 중요하다. 본 연구는 이러한 배경을 바탕으로, 고해상도 광학위성 영상과 딥러닝 기반의 영상 분할 모델을 활용하여 대기오염 현황을 분석하는 데 필수적인 국내외 대기오염물질 배출원의 공간 정보를 효과적으로 획득하는 것을 목표로 수행되었다. 특히, 월경성 대기오염에 크게 기여하는 것으로 평가된 산업단지와 채석장을 주요 연구 대상으로 선정하였으며, 이들 영역에 대한 다목적실용위성 3호 및 3A호의 영상들을 수집하여 전처리한 후, 모델 학습을 위한 입력 및 라벨 데이터로 변환하였다. 해당 데이터를 활용하여 U-Net 모델을 학습시킨 결과, 전체 정확도는 0.8484, mean Intersection over Union (mIoU)은 0.6490을 달성하였다. 모델의 예측 결과 맵은 코스 어노테이션(Course Annotation) 방식으로 제작된 라벨 데이터보다 객체의 경계를 더욱 정확하게 추출하는 것으로 나타나, 데이터 처리 및 모델 학습 방법론의 유효성을 입증하였다.

Objectives: Air pollution is a growing concern in Korea because of transboundary air pollution from mainland China. A panel study was conducted to clarify the effects of air pollution on respiratory symptoms and health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) in outpatients with and without chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in Korea. Methods: Patients filled out a questionnaire including self-reported HR-QoL in February and were followed up in May and July. The study was conducted from 2013 to 2015, with different participants each year. Air quality parameters were applied in a generalized estimating equation as independent variables to predict factors affecting HR-QoL. Results: Lower physical fitness scores were associated with Asian sand dust events. Daily activity scores were worse when there were high concentrations of particulate matter (PM) less than $10{\mu}m$ in diameter ($PM_{10}$). Lower social functioning scores were associated with high PM less than $2.5{\mu}m$ in diameter and nitrogen dioxide ($NO_2$) concentrations. High $NO_2$ concentrations also showed a significant association with mental health scores. Weather-related cough was prevalent when $PM_{10}$, $NO_2$, or ozone ($O_3$) concentrations were high, regardless of COPD severity. High $PM_{10}$ concentrations were associated with worsened wheezing, particularly in COPD patients. Conclusions: The results suggest that PM, $NO_2$, and $O_3$ cause respiratory symptoms leading to HR-QoL deterioration. While some adverse effects of air pollution appeared to occur regardless of COPD, others occurred more often and more intensely in COPD patients. The public sector, therefore, needs to consider tailoring air pollution countermeasures to people with different conditions to minimize adverse health effects.

Objectives: In recent years, transboundary air pollution from mainland East Asia has led to growing concerns about air pollution in Japan. Air pollution is reportedly associated with the exacerbation of respiratory diseases. In this study, we assessed the effects of air pollution on respiratory symptoms and the health status of participants with and without chronic respiratory diseases. Methods: Participants (n=2753) with and without chronic respiratory diseases who visited healthcare facilities in Japan during February from 2010 to 2015 filled out a self-report questionnaire regarding their symptoms and perceived health status. Participants were followed up during April-May and June-July. Results: Oxidant concentrations were associated with respiratory symptoms, overall health, and quality of life (QoL). Suspended particulate matter (SPM) and particulate matter <$2.5{\mu}m$ levels were associated with physical fitness; SPM was also associated with QoL. Recent experience of an Asian sand dust event had a significant effect on allergic symptoms, change in health, and QoL. Conclusions: Respiratory symptoms were more strongly affected by oxidants than by other pollutants. Significant associations of air pollutants were found with a comprehensive range of items related to perceived health status, including overall health and QoL. Although the effects of air pollutants on respiratory symptoms and health status were more apparent among patients with respiratory diseases, the adverse effects of air pollutants were significant even among participants without such conditions.

Fast economic growth and urbanization of China have been causing air pollution not only over its domestic but transboundary atmosphere. Recent high fine particle pollution episodes in China made the government move toward more stringent air pollution control policies - which are mostly fuel switching and emissions control. In this research, we tried to understand characteristics of Chinese emissions and their change by analyzing its emissions inventory by year, sector, and region. From the inter-comparison of existing bottom-up emission inventories, we found relatively good agreements (<20% difference) for $SO_2$ and $NO_x$, but 30% or more discrepancies for some pollutants. Inter-comparison with top-down $NO_x$ emissions estimates also showed 20~50% differences by year. The regional distribution and inter-annual changes of emissions revealed different stages of energy/fuel mix and policy penetration. Early increase of pollutants emissions in the eastern part of China might give strong influences to the Korean peninsular in early 2000s but, more stringent control in that region would help improving air pollution in Korea in near future.
