  • 본 연구는 2001년 1월부터 2011년 12월까지 국가산단인 여수시 인구집단을 대상으로 일일 사망자료와 환경측정자료 및 기상자료를 이용하여 대기오염 물질 중 미세먼지($PM_{10}$)와 이산화황($SO_2$)이 일별 총 사망과 심혈관계 사망에 미치는 영향을 추정하였다. 대기오염과의 상관성분석은 S-Plus 프로그램을 이용한 generalized additive models(GAM)을 적용하여 시계열(Time-Series) 분석법을 실시하였다. 총 사망의 위해도는 65세 이상에서 $SO_2$의 농도가 11.67ppb(IQR) 증가함에 따라 5.0% 증가하였고, 심혈관계 사망의 위해도는 전체연령에서 8.6% 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 지연효과는 총 사망과 심혈관계 사망의 모든 연령 그룹에서 사망 당일부터 7일 전 $SO_2$농도와 가장 관련성이 높은 것으로 분석되었다.

  • A large number of studies have indicated associations between particulate air pollution and daily mortality. Daily measurements of total suspended particulates (TSP) by high volume air sampler were matched to daily death counts supplied by the National Statistics Office, Korea. All deaths, except deaths from accidents, occurred at Ulsan from 1 January 1991 to 31 December 1994 were considered in the poisson regression analysis. The multiple regression models were used to investigate a main effects of air particulate pollution controlling for $SO_2$ levels, air temperature, relative humidity, seasonal variation, and calendar year. The results indicated that the effects of TSP, $SO_2$, temperature, and relative humidity were not significantly associated with all cause mortality. It could, however, be emphasized that the size of the parameter estimate of TSP was very similar to that of previous studies. An increase in particulates of $100{\mu}g/m^3$ was associated with a 3% increase in mortality. This relationship was observed at TSP levels well below the current National Ambient Air Quality Standard of $150{\mu}g/m^3$ in Korea as well.

  • This result showed that the middle school students' response for the environment condition was highly negative. The major findings of this study are as follows. 1. Students would become to know the environmental pollution through reading of newspapers and TV rather than school education. 2. Students' response for air and water pollution was seriously accepted in city areas than in country areas, and in large cities than in small cities. 3. Students' response for air pollution showed that the quality of air was getting worse and major factor of air pollution was the exhausts of automobiles. 4. It showed that students' concern for water pollution was increased and water pollution was being accelerated by the increase of domestic and industrial sewages, the overuse of the agricultural chemicals, the entrophication and acid rain. 5. Students thought that soil pollution was mainly due to factory sewage, life sewage, heavy metal and agricultural medicines and so on. But now they think it is due to the degenerated and inseparable things such as used vinyle for farm and plastics. 6. Most students thought of the pollution of our country as serious. But they thought it could be removed if we tried to get rid of pollution. 7. Now students' consciousness to protect the nature took an active interest turn and was strong. Putting these various findings together, I suggested that, the efforts to turn students affirmative consciousness for the environment and a powerful plan by the nation to take off pollution should be needed. Also the education to enforce the environment preservation had to be needed.

  • Air pollution problems due to the emission of pollutants from the various industrial facilities become serious issues and lots of air pollution control processes have been developed. To remove the SO$_2$ and NOx emitted from the solid waste incinerator and coal fired power plants, we studied the Ca-based sorbent which was prepared by waste clam and limestone. The objectives of this study were to develop a clam-based sorbent for removal of SO$_2$ and NOx, and to investigate the physicochemical properties of the waste clam sorbent. In order to determine acid gas removal capacity of sorbent, the batch study on SO$_2$ and NOx removal was performed with the Ca-based sorbent in the fixed bed reactor. Results of the research revealed that clam-based sorbent can be used as the iron-manufacturing industry and chemical adsorbents for the removal of acid gases because the lime content of the waste calm was more than 53.92%. From physicochemical analysis and gas reaction experiments, it could be concluded that clam is good sorbent for the removal of SO$_2$ and NOx in waste incinerator and flue gas desulfurization processes.

  • Background: Chronic respiratory disease is an important factor for development of lung cancer. To explore the influence of hazy weather on respiratory diseases and its variation the present study was conducted. Materials and Methods: Data from air pollution surveillance from January to October 2014 and case records of visiting patients in the $263^{th}$ Hospital of Chinese PLA in the corresponding period were collected to analyze the relevance between different degrees of air pollution (hazy weather) and the number of visiting patients in Department of Respiratory Disease. Results: Air quality index (AQI) of hazy weather had significantly positive association with particulate matter 2.5 ($PM_{2.5}$) and the number of patients with 5 kinds of respiratory diseases i and different pollutants had distinct influences on various respiratory diseases. Conclusions: The degree of air pollution in Beijing City is in close association with the number of patients with respiratory diseases, in which $PM_{2.5}$ and $SO_2$ are in more significant influences on all respiratory diseases. This could have essential implications for lung cancer development in China.
