  • Relations of urban heat island and air pollution are analyzed by using $SO_2$ concentration data (winter season in 1985) from 10 sites of Seoul area and differences of wind speed and air temperature in urban and rural area. Urban heat island is developed when daily mean wind speed at urban site is lower than 1.5m/sec or in the interval of 3.0 $\sim$ 3.5m/sec. When differences between urban and rural air temperature is greater than the overall average of those differences, $SO_2$ concentrations of those above-average differences are 1.3 $\sim$ 1.8 times higher than those of below-average differences. The trends are shown obviously at north-eastern area of Seoul (Gilum Dong, Ssangmun Dong, Myeonmog Dong). When intensity of Urban Heat Island is weak, $SO_2$ concentration was reduced in propotion to a rise of wind speed. But $SO_2$ concentration is on the partial increase in spite of a rise of wind speed when intensity of urban heat island is strong.

  • From March 1990 to August 1991, every each 5mm bulk precipitation samples were collected at one residental area in Taejon City to investigate chemical characteristics of acid rain. Major ion concentrations of rain samples $(pH, SO_4^{2-}, NO_3^-, CL^-, NH_4^+, Na^+, K^+, Ca^{2+}, Mg^{2+})$ were analysed and compared with the concentration of air pollutants (T. S. P, $SO_2, NO_x$) that were measured by Ministry of Environment. The results of statistical analysis are as followings. Rain pH was relatively high on October and January and relatively low on August, November and February. Major anion is sulfate, and it's concentration is 2.36 times higher than nitrate's, and major cations are ammonium, sodium and calcium ion. Monthly variation of sulfate and calcium concentrations are higher than the others. Ion concentration and rain pH were correlated negatively with rainfall amount. Major ions in rain samples were $SO_4^{2-}, NO_3^-, NH_4^+, Ca^{2+}$ and regression equations are proposed by multiple regression of measured data. Also, regression equation between air pollutants(T. S. P, $SO_2$) and $SO_4^{2-}, Na^+, K^+, Ca^{2+}, Mg^{2+} ions in rain samples were made. From this wer can predict rain pH.

  • Particulate matter (PM) emitted from fossil fuel-combustion facilities can be classified as either filterable or condensable PM. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) defined condensable PM as material that is in the phase of vapor at the stack temperature of the sampling location which condenses, reacts upon cooling and dilution in the ambient air to form solid or liquid in a few second after the discharge from the stack. Condensable PM passed through the filter media and it is typically ignored. But condensable PM was defined as a component of primary PM. This study investigates the change of condensable PM according to the variation in the sulfur dioxide of combustion gas. Domestic oil boilers were used as the source of emission ($SO_2$) and the level of $SO_2$ concentration (0, 50, 80, and 120 ppm) was adjusted by diluting general light oil and marine gas oil (MGO) that contains sulfur less than 0.5%. Condensable PM was measured as 2.72, 6.10, 8.38, and $13.34mg/m^3$ when $SO_2$ concentration in combustion gas were 0, 50, 80, and 120 ppm respectively. The condensable PM tended to increase as the concentration of $SO_2$ increased. Some of the gaseous air pollutants emitted from the stack should be considered precursors of condensable PM. The gas phase pollutants which converted into condensable PM should reduced for condensable PM control.

  • This study was carried out to investigate water quality of streamflow in a forest land. We measured discharges and the concentration of streamflow for T-N, T-P, COD, cations(Na$\^$+/, K$\^$+/, Ca$\^$2+/, Mg$\^$2+/), and anions(CI$\^$-/, SO$\_$4/$\^$2-/). The average concentration of pollutants were extremely low, such as 0.4mg/$\ell$ for T-N, 0.02 mg/$\ell$ for T-P and 2.68mg/$\ell$for COD. The concentration of cations have a tendency to decrease with increasing discharge, while the concentration of SO$\_$4/$\^$2-/) increase with increasing discharge. It was found that the average concentration of Ca$\^$2+/ was highest and that of K$\^$+/ was lowest among cations.

  • The micro-porous asymmetric PVDF hollow fiber membranes for gas-liquid contactor were prepared by the dry-jet wet phase inversion process and the characteristics of hollow fiber membranes were evaluated by the gas permeation method and scanning electron microscope. The chemical absorbent for removal of $SO_2$ gas was sodium hydroxide at bench scale hollow fiber membrane contactor. The experiments were performed in a counter-current mode of operation with gas in the shell side and liquid in the fiber lumen of the module to examine the effect of various operating variables such as concentration of absorbent, gas flow rate, L/G ratio and concentration of inlet $SO_2$ gas on the $SO_2$ removal efficiency using PVDF hollow fiber membrane contactor. Membrane mass transfer coefficient($k_m$) was calculated by mathematical modeling. The volumetric overall mass transfer coefficient increased with increasing the concentration of absorbent and L/G ratio. The increase of the absorbent concentration and L/G ratio not only provides more sufficient alkalinity but also decreases liquid phase resistance. The volumetric overall mass transfer coefficient increased with increasing gas flow rate due to decreasing the gas phase resistance.

  • This study was performed to evaluate the characteristics of current air quality and to examine the monthly and yearly variation of $SO_2,\;O_3,\;CO,\;NO_2$, and fine particulate matter(PM-10) concentration in Seosan for the period of 1998-2006. During the recent 3 years, from 2004 to 2006, the yearly mean concentration of $SO_2,\;NO_2$, and PM-10 remained stability but CO and $O_3$ are gradually decreased. The monthly mean concentration of $NO_2$, CO, and $SO_2$ were high in the winter season and decreased steadily to the summer season, but the maximum concentration of $O_3$ and PM-10 appeared in the springtime. The number of days exceeding 24-hour standards for PM-10 were 54 times at Dokgodri and 25 times at Dongmundong. The number of sampling days exceeding the 1-hour and 8-hour standards for $O_3$ were 68 and 210 times at Dongmundong and at Dokgotri 93 and 213 times, respectively.

  • This study evaluated the SO2 adsorption characteristics using a continous moving bed system. Natural manganese oxide (NMO) reaction condition such as L/D the starting time of the NMO feed, feed rate, and flow rate of simulated flue gas, and NMO size were tested. The results showed that optimum L/D was 1.0 in this moving bed system. The higher the feeding rate was the higher the SO2 removal efficiency was and the higher the flow rate of simulated flue gas was the shorter the time to reach the euqilibirum concentration was. The final SO2 con-centration when it reaches the equilibrium concentration was not affected by the starting time of the NMO feed.

  • Ozone, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides were measured at Kosan, Cheju Island, Korea during the period of March 11 .sim. April 19, 1994. During the measurement period, the average SO$_{2}$ and NOx concentrations were about 0.97 ppb and 3.5 ppb, respectively. Average NO concentration was below the detection limit and thus the effect of NO during the period was negligible. The concentrations of SO$_{2}$ and Nox were lower than those at other urban area in Korea but higher than other remote areas in the world. Average $O_{3}$ concentration for the period was about 55 ppb, slightly higher than or comparable to those at remote marine areas in the world. Detailed analyses of trend of gaseous species concentrations show that the effects of local NO emission sources for NOx concentration were significant during the period, while those of local SO$_{2}$ emission sources were not high. Backward trajectory analysis results show that when SO$_{2}$ or $O_{3}$ concentration was higher than the average concentrations, the air parcels were transported from China.

  • Effects of mineral salts on sisomicin fermentation were investigated. The optimal concentration of CoCl$_2$for accomplishing a high antibiotic yield was found to be 16.8 $\mu$M at which it could function as a cofactor. At this level the other mineral salts tested had no effect. On the other hand, at much higher concentration levels (above 1 mM), four mineral salts such as ZnSO$_4$, KH$_2$PO$_4$, FeSO$_4$and MgSO$_4$were used in order to liberate the intracellular sisomicin out-side the cells, because the sisomicin accumulated mostly in cells and it was supposed to limit the improvement of antibiotic yield. ZnSO$_4$and KH$_2$PO$_4$had no effect at all, and FeSO$_4$brought about some improvement. However, by keeping the concentration of MgSO$_4$to be 25 mM or higher in culture broths, the antibiotic yield could be improved by more than 100%, partially due to the enhanced liberation of the intracellular antibiotic.
