Total, direct viable count, and acid-tolerant epiphytic bacterial population sizes were quantified on leaves of chestnut tree (Castanea crenata S. et Z.) near Taejon Industrial Estate affected by acid precipitation and deposition as well as in the clean natural forest area, Mt. Kyejok, in Taejon city from August 1996 to August 1997. Geometric mean numbers of total, direct viable count, and acid-tolerant epiphytic bacteria were $9.9{\times}10^5cell/cm^2$, $1.6{\times}10^6cell/cm^2$, and $7.1{\times}10^3cfu/cm^2$ respectively, being 1.5, 2, and 2.6 times those in the clean area. Acid-tolerant epiphytic bacterial numbers at pH 5.6 by MPN method were $3.3{\times}10^4$ in the industrial area, about the same as the number, $3.4{\times}10^4MPN/cm^2$, of the clean area. Acid-tolerant bacterial number at pH 4.0 was $1.9{\times}10^{-1}MPN/cm^2$ in the industrial area, whereas none was detected in the clean area. Acid-tolerant bacteria at pH 3.0 were not detected at all in the industrial area as well as in the clean area. Epiphytic bacterial population sizes were generally the greatest in May when leaves are emerged and grew hut the lowest in November when defoliation occurs. These results showed that air pollutant deposition on leaves did not cause a decrease of epiphytic bacteria at least and acid deposition on leaves did cause an increase of acid-tolerant bacteria.

석유화학, 비철금속공단, 조선 및 기계공단 등과 같은 대형 산업단지를 가진 울산지역의 대기오염은 타 지역에 비하여 꽤 높은 것으로 보고되고 있다. 또한 울산지역은 인구가 백만이 넘는 대형도시이고, 사람과 각종 공단 생산제품을 수송하기 위한 교통밀도도 꽤 높으므로 많은 양의 휘발성 유기화합물(Volatile Organic Compounds : VOCs)이 배출되고 있다. 흔히 VOC는 대류권 오존 농도의 전구체로서 역할을 하여 대류권 오존농도 감소를 위한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. (중략)

We conducted this study to obtain basic data of lead concentrations in children of Ulsan industrial area and to evaluate the difference in blood lead levels between industrial area and suburban area. The study subjects were composed of 348 school children residing in industrial area and 100 school children of suburban area. There is no difference in age and sex distribution of study participants between industrial and suburban area. The obtained results were as follows; 1. The geometric means of blood lead levels of study participants were $4.90{\mu}g/d\ell$, which is lower than current acceptable value $10{\mu}g/d\ell$. 2. The children residing in industrial area had the higher blood lead levels$(5.26{\mu}g/d\ell)$ than suburban children$(3.81{\mu}g/d\ell)$ with statistical significance(P<0.001).

This study was carried out to analyze pH, Electrical conductivity(EC), cation and anion on rainfall and throughfall raining at industrial area(Onsan and Nongso of Ulsan city), suburban area(Myeongsek-myeon of Jinju city) and rural area(Haman and Changyoung-gun), and to investigate $SO_2\;and\;NO_2$ concentration in the air of industrial area and rural area, and to survey degree of decline of Pinus thunbergii growing at each area. The rainfall pH was higher than the throughfall pH at the all surveyed areas. The rainfall pH and throughfall pH was $4.76{\sim}5.15\;and\;4.64{\sim}4.98,\;4.95{\sim}5.30\;and\;4.87{\sim}5.13,\;5.29{\sim}5.76\;and\;5.12{\sim}5.73$ at the industrial area, suburban area and rural area, respectively. The EC of rainfall and throughfall was $13.64{\sim}17.22\;and\;41.60{\sim}103.59,\;4.18{\sim}8.65\;and\;17.02{\sim}23.89,\;4.09{\sim}6.65\;and\;13.75{\sim}21.44$ at the industrial area, suburban area and rural area, respectively. Generally EC at the industrial area was higher than those of suburban area and rural area. In the correlation analysis among Degree of decline on Pinus thunbergii and ingredients of rainfall, it showed that there was a negative correlation between Degree of decline and pH. There was a positive correlation between pH and $Cl^-$ respectively.

본 논문에서는 보건환경적 영향 및 환경오염수준을 평가할 수 있는 공단지역의 대기 시료를 이용하여 다환방향족탄화수소화합물(PAHs)의 농도수준과 인체 영향 및 분포특성에 관하여 조사하였다. 산업공정 및 공단 주변지역 오염물질의 저감 및 개선을 위한 방안을 마련할 수 있는 기초자료를 확보하였으며, 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 공단지역의 대기시료 중에 다환방향족탄화수소화합물(PAHs) profile은 Pyrene, Naphthalene과 Anthracene 같은 저분자량 화합물은 주요 인자로 나타났고, Phenanthrene의 농도가 지배인자로 나타났다. 향후 보다 과학적이고 체계적인 연구가 추가적으로 이루어져야 할 것으로 판단된다.

To understand the pollution level by polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in ambient air of industrial area, PCBs concentrations were measured at Sihwa and Banwol industrial region, Korea. The concentrations of total PCB and WHO-TEQ ranged from 2,080 to $5820\;pg/m^3$ (median value is 2,760) and from 0.19 to $1.01\;pgTEQ/m^3$ (median value is 0.42), respectively. In terms of homologues composition the fraction of highly chlorinated biphenyls(from hexa-CB to deca-CB) were higher than the air samples of other regions such as jeonju and yokohama area. The cluster analysis was conducted to study the relation between the air samples and sources such as incinerator flue gases and Aroclor samples. The isomer fractions in the homologue were used as input variables. Based on the results, the industrial ambient air samples were divided from source samples with long Euclidian distance. This suggest that the ambient air samples of Sihwa and Banwol were not on the influence of Aroclor and incinerators. Therefore, further investigation on systematical air monitoring will be required to estimate the sources of PCBs in the above industrial areas.

Gunpo city, a medium sized city formed with a basin is populated with a little more than 270,000 peoples and includes the industrial area with about 600 factories. It has been recognized for a long time that peoples living nearby industrial area have complained on serious air contamination due to the geographical and environmental factors. This study was performed on measurement of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and malodor for the air sampled in various places of Gunpo city, and made comparison with VOCs levels in specific area of Seoul. This work would play important role for the efficient management of air contamination of Gunpo city. Samplings were done in the rooftop of eleven village office buildings including Gunpo station in June 12th, 2001. Analytical results indicate that VOCs levels of Gunpo-1-dong, Gunpo station and Kumjungdong regions neighboring industrial area were much higher than the rest of areas, and this fact shows that the origin for air contamination of Gunpo would be industrial area than car exhaustion gases.
