This study investigated the effect of volcanic materials that erupted from the Nishinoshima volcano, Japan, 1,300 km southeast of the Busan area at the end of July 2020, on the fine particle concentration in the Busan area. Backward trajectory analysis from the HYSPLIT model showed that the air parcel from the Nishinoshima volcano turned clockwise along the edge of the North Pacific high pressure and reached the Busan area. From August 4 to August 5, 2020, the concentration of PM₁₀ and PM_2.5 in Busan started to increase rapidly from 1000 LST on August 4, and showed a high concentration for approximately 13 hours until 2400 LST. The PM_2.5/PM₁₀ ratio showed a relatively high value of 0.7 or more, and the SO₂ concentration also showed a high value at the time when the PM₁₀ and PM_2.5 concentrations were relatively high. The SO₄^2- concentration in PM_2.5 in Busan showed a similar trend to the change in PM₁₀ and PM_2.5 concentrations. It rose sharply from 1300 LST on August 4, at the time where it was expected to have been affected by the Nishinoshima Volcano. This study has shown that the occurrence of high concentration fine particle in Busan in summer has the potential to affect Korea not only due to anthropogenic factors but also from natural causes such as volcanic eruptions in Japan.

Air pollutants($SO_2$, NOx, $O_3$ and aerosol number) were measured using an aircraft to investigate the characteristical features of long-range transport of sulfur compounds over the Yellow Sea for the periods of 26~27 April and 7~10 November in 1998. The mean $SO_2$ concentrations of April 26th~27th and November 7th~10th flight were 0.6~1.8 ppb and 0.5~8.3 ppb, respectively, and the sulfur transport was largely limited to the atmospheric boundary layer. Especially, $SO_2$ increased up to 8.3 ppb altogether with the increase of particle number concentraton especially on November 8, 1998. In addition, $O_3$ was remarkably decreased against the increase of $SO_2$and particle number concentrations. This enhanced $SO_2$ concentration occurred in the low level westerlies in association with the anticyclonic flow over Southern China and the cyclonic circulation over Manchuria. Aerosol analyses at Taean site also showed that sulfate concentration increased 2~3 times higher than those of another sampling days, which could suggest possible interactions between aerosol particels and tropospheric ozone. A rigorous evaluation will be possible after the more intensive measurements and quantitative analyses with detailed chemistry model including the postulated heterogeneous mechanism.

In order to understand the relative importance of various pathways leading to the production and transformation of aerosols under different atmospheric conditions, the behavior of atmospheric aerosols have been investigated using a high volume tape sample in Seoul for a week period during August 1990. The concentrations of anion $(SO^{2-}_4, NO^-_3, CI^-)$ and cation $(Ca^{2+}, Na^+, NH^+_4)$ species of aerosol samples were analyzed to identify the ionic composition of aerosols and to estimate their relative contributions to aerosol formation. The concentrations of aerosol species were calculated by a multiple regression model. The results of our calculations indicate the existence of various chemical species such as $(NH_4)_2SO_4, Na_2SO_4, CaSO_4, NH_4NO_3, NaNO_3, Ca(NO_3)_2, NH_4Cl$, and NaCl salts. According to our calculations, the most dominant species of aerosol was $(NH_4)_2SO_4$ with the mean concentration of 23.3 $/mu g/m^3$ (66.9%). The proportion of different componts with aerosol (e.g., $NH_4NO_3$ and $NH_4Cl$) was strongly affected by temperature, relative humidity, and partial presure of gases.

This study was aimed to investigate the influence on the vicinity by air pollutant generated from facility of the district heating located in local small town. We selected the seven areas arround the surroundings of facility of the district heating, compared the air quality evaluated before and after operations of the facility, and estimated the diffusion of air pollutant exhausted from the facility using a ISC model. The result was that the concentration of TSP before and after operations of the facility was 89${\sim}$94${\mu}$g/m$^3$,and 72${\sim}$81${\mu}$g/m$^3$, respectively and the latter showed a decline in concentration. Also, there was no relationship between straight distance from the facility of the district heating and the concentration of TSP. This result was applicable to cases of PM-10 and SO$_2$. We also investigated the influence on the air around the neighbored area by air pollutant produced from facility of the district heating using ISCLT3 model. The adding-concentrations of TSP, SO$_2$,NO$_2$, and CO were 0.0019${\sim}$0.00183${\mu}$g/m$^3$, 0.0029${\sim}$0.5648ppb, 0.2924${\sim}$l.9837ppb,and 0.0087${\sim}$0.0590ppb, respectively. It is predicted that each concentration is added to pollutant exhausted from facility of the district heating and is about 1/100${\sim}$1/180,000 of present air quality. This has a tiny influence on general air quality. According to this analysis, the concentration of air pollutant is less effected to pollutants expected by the facility of the district heating than other pollutants emitted from mobil source or industrial complex, and etc.

동진벼 유묘 뿌리에 환원제인 ascorbic acid, 신호전달물질인 salicylic acid와 methyl jasmonic acid, 중금속인 $NiCl_2$와 $CuSO_4$ 및 NaCl를 다양한 농도로 처리한 후 항산화효소인 glutathione peroxidase(GPX)의 활성과 동위효소의 패턴 변화를 살펴보았다. Ascorbic acid 처리에 의한 GPX의 총활성은 ascorbic acid 농도 증가에 의존적으로 증가하였으며 이러한 GPX활성 증가는 GPX1 동위효소의 현저한 활성증가에 기인하였다. GPX는 신호전달물질인 salicylic acid와 methyl jasmonic acid에 대하여 서로 다른 반응성을 보였다. GPX의 활성은 0.1 mM salicylic acid에 의해 증가하였다가 이후 감소하였다. 이에 비해 GPX는 methyl jasmonic acid의 농도증가에 의존하여 점진적으로 증가하여 1 mM methyl jasmonic acid에 의하여 약 3배의 활성증가를 보였다. 뿐만 아니라 GPX1 동위효소는 salicylic acid 농도가 증가할수록 활성이 감소한 반면 methyl jasmonic acid 농도가 증가할수록 현저하게 증가하였다. GPX의 총활성은 $NiCl_2$ 농도 증가에 따라 점진적으로 증가되었으나, $CuSO_4$ 처리군의 경우 GPX의 총비활성도는 0.5 mM $CuSO_4$에 의하여 약 2배 증가한 이후 점차 감소하였다. $NiCl_2$와 $CuSO_4$ 처리에 의한 GPX 활성증가도 주로 GPX1 동위효소의 활성증가에 기인하였다. NaCl 처리에 의한 GPX 총활성은 300 mM NaCl 처리군에서 약 1.7배 증가되었다가 이후 감소하였다. 특이하게도 NaCl 농도가 증가함에 따라 GPX2 동위효소 활성이 점차 증가하였다.

SO$_2$가 흰쥐 호흡기의 비강 점막에 미치는 형태적인 변화 및 내적 환경인자인 glycoconjugates에 미치는 영향을 구명할 목적으로 200~250g의 Sprague-DawleyrP 수컷 흰쥐를 사용하여 대조군과 SO$_2$실험군으로 나누어 SO$_2$실험군은 10 ppm, 25ppm, 50 ppm, 100ppm, 및 200 ppm 군으로 나누고 각 군은 가시 1시간, 3시간, 및 6시간 폭로군으로 나누어 SO$_2$ 농도별 및 시간별로 미치는 영향을 대조군과 qry하였다. 형태적인 변화는 H-E 및 PAS 염색으로 관찰하였고, 점액질 변화는 PAS, AB pH 2.5, AB pH 2.5-PAS, AB pH 1.0 및 AR pH 1.7-AB pH2.5 염색등으로 관찰하였다. 비강호흡상피들은 대조군에 비해 SO$_2$폭로군에서 정도의 차이가 있었지만 섬모소실, 상피세포의 탈락, 배상세포의 공포화, 상피세포의 편평화 및 상피세포의 점액화 등은 SO$_2$농도가 높아지고 폭로 시간이 길어질수록 광범위하게 나타났으며 상피세포의 점액화는 50ppm, SO$_2$폭로군에서 가장 현저하였다. 배상세포 및 비중격선의 선포 수는 폭로시간에 따라 정도의 차이는 있지만 저농도인 25 및 50ppm SO$_2$ 폭로군에서는 현전희 증가하는 반면 고돈도인 100 및 200ppm SO$_2$폭로군에서는 현저히 감고하거나 대부분 소실되는 경향이 나타났다. 대조군에서 관찰되지 않았던 상피내 점액선이 100 및 200 ppm 1시간 SO$_2$폭로군에서는 더 현저하게 관찰되었다. SO$_2$폭로군 비중격 상피 배상세포의 중섬점액질은 10ppm 3시간 SO$_2$폭로군에서 대조군에 비해 많이 증가하였고 그외의 실험군에서는 대조군에 비해 대부분의 세포에서 감소하거나 소실되었으며 대조군에서 나타나지 않던 점액화된 상피세포들은 모두 SO$_2$폭로군에서 중섬점액질만을 함유하고 있었으며 100 ppm 및 200ppm SO$_2$폭로군에서 그 양이 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 산성점액질의 양은 10 ppm 및 50ppm 3시간 SO$_2$폭로군에서는 대조군에 비하여 많이 증가하였으나. 그외 대부분의 SO$_2$폭로군에서는 현전히 감소하거나 소실되었다. 대조군에 비해 SO$_2$폭로군에서 강 sulfomucin은 감소하는경향을 나타내었고, 100 ppm및 200 ppm SO$_2$폭로군에서 강 sulfomucin은 소실되었으나 sialomucin은 대조군에 비해 증가하는경향을 보였다. 하비중격선의 중성점액질은 양은 대조군에 비해 SO$_2$폭로군에서 감소하는 경향을 나타내었으며 100ppm및 200ppm SO$_2$ 폭로군에서 그 감소가 아주 현저하게 대부분의 선포들에서 중성 점액질이 소실되었다. 이상의 결과로 보아 SO$_2$는 비강에 심대한 병리조직학적 변화뿐만 아니라 점액질 대사에 심대한 영향을 미쳐 심한 병변을 야기시킴을 알수 있었다. 전반적으로 SO$_2$의호흡기 영향은 고농도로 갈수록 심한 영향을 미쳤으며 저 농도 에서도 폭로시간이 길어짐에 따라 나타나는 SO$_2$의영향이 고농도와 유사한경향을 나타내며 또한 모든 SO$_2$의 농도를 비교해보면 폭로 시간이 길어질수록 그영향이 더 심하게 나타났다.

An abnormal decrease in ozonesonde sensor signal occurred during air-pollution study campaigns in November 2011 and March 2012 in Mexico City Metropolitan Area (MCMA). Sharp drops in sensor signal around 5 km above sea level and above were observed in November 2011, and a reduction of signal over a broad range of altitude was observed in the convective boundary layer in March 2012. Circumstantial evidence indicated that $SO_2$ gas interfered with the electrochemical concentration cell (ECC) ozone sensors in the ozonesonde and that this interference was the cause of the reduced sensor signal output. The sharp drops in November 2011 were attributed to the $SO_2$ plume from Popocat$\acute{e}$petl volcano southeast of MCMA. Experiments on the response of the ECC sensor to representative atmospheric trace gases showed that only $SO_2$ could cause the observed abrupt drops in sensor signal. The vertical profile of the plume reproduced by a Lagrangian particle diffusion simulation supported this finding. A near-ground reduction in the sensor signal in March 2012 was attributed to an $SO_2$ plume from the Tula industrial complex north-west of MCMA. Before and at the time of ozonesonde launch, intermittent high $SO_2$ concentrations were recorded at ground-level monitoring stations north of MCMA. The difference between the $O_3$ concentration measured by the ozonesonde and that recorded by a UV-based $O_3$ monitor was consistent with the $SO_2$ concentration recorded by a UV-based monitor on the ground. The vertical profiles of the plumes estimated by Lagrangian particle diffusion simulation agreed fairly well with the observed profile. Statistical analysis of the wind field in MCMA revealed that the effect Popocat$\acute{e}$petl was most likely to have occurred from June to October, whereas the effect of the industries north of MCMA, including the Tula complex, was predicted to occur throughout the year.

동아시아 지역은 최근 인구급증과 경제성장으로 인해 화석연료의 사용이 증가함에 따라 이로 인한 대기오염물질 배출이 증가하여 대기질이 점차 악화되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 OMI (Ozone Monitoring Instrument) 위성 자료와 국가 대기오염물질 배출량 자료(National Emission Inventory)를 활용하여 동아시아의 대기현황 및 우리나라의 대기질에 국내외 배출량이 미치는 영향을 분석하고 이를 기반으로 미래 배출량을 추정하였다. 2005년부터 2015년까지 동아시아의 NO₂, SO₂ 농도를 분석한 결과, 두 물질 모두 NEC (North East China), SEC(South East China), SMA (Seoul Metropolitan Area) 순으로 높았다. SO₂는 우리나라와 중국의 편차가 크게 나타나NEC 지역은 SMA보다 1.63배 높았다. 농도비와 배출비 분석을 통해 국외 배출원이 우리나라 대기환경에 미치는 영향을 간접적으로 파악할 수 있었는데, NO₂/SO₂ 농도비는 우리나라와 중국 모두 2013년에 가장 높았고, SMA의 NO_x/SO_x 배출비는 2013년 이후 22% 이상 증가했다. 국내 배출량은 지속적으로 감소했으나 농도-배출량 비율(NO₂/NO_x, SO₂/SO_x)은 점차 증가하는 것으로 분석되었으며, 이는 곧 국내 배출량 외에 다른 요인(국외 배출원, 체류시간 변화 등)이 우리나라 수도권의 대기질에 영향을 주고 있다는 것으로 해석된다. SMA의 미래 배출량은 2025년에 NO_x, SO_x가 각각 296.2, 39.0 kton, 2035년에는 284.4, 33.8 kton 만큼 배출될 것으로 예측되었다. 본 연구에서는 공간적 제약을 받지 않는 위성자료의 장점을 이용하여 농도와 배출량 사이의 유의미한 결과를 도출하였으며, 이 연구에서 사용된 위성관측 농도와 배출량 간의 상호비교 분석방법론과 GEMS(Geostationary Environment Monitoring Spectrometer) 위성 산출물을 활용하여, 향후 국내 대기질 영향요인을 파악하기 위한 국외 발 대기오염물질 기여도 분석과 배출 인벤토리 보완을 위한 기초 자료를 제시할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

Growth responses of lettuce seeds germinated in aqueous solutions of $SO_2$ were investigated for mode of action studies of this gas. The concentration and pH of $SO_2$ solution greatly affected the growth of germinating seeds. Root growth was more sensitive to $SO_2$ than hypocotyl growth. The sensitivity of total seedling growth lay between root and hypocotyl growth. Growth inhibition of germinating seeds appeared more serioius when $SO_2$ was added during the early stage of germination.

The effect of high concentration ion matrix on the analysis of low anion concentration in the suppressed ion chromatography was studied. The anions studied were $Br^-$, $NO_3{^-}$, $HPO_4^{2-}$, $SO_4^{2-}$, and $C_2O_4^{2-}$ in the presence of excess NaCl and $CaCl_2$. In this study we suggested that the erroneous results in the suppressed ion chromatographic determination of small concentration of anions were not caused by the interaction of large amount of cation in the suppressor, but by the interaction of cation with concerned anion in the original solution. The error in the analysis of such anion can not be eliminated just by dilution. Therefore, we suggested that standard addition method might be adequate for analyses of those samples.
