We propose an air purification system that utilizes aerial plant parts and root zone of indoor plants where light is insufficient and air circulation is bad. In order to maximize the air purification effect of the plant, the aerial plant parts illuminates mixed light combining blue and green LED and CRI(Color Rendering Index) LEDs close to natural light, respectively. And the root zone was forcibly circulated by the fan to use the soil as a filter. The indoor air purification system combined with the light source and the fan removed most polluted air in the shortest. In the case of mixed light and CRI LEDs of indoor air purification system, fine dust decreased by 14%, 14.2%, and TVOC(Total volatile organic compounds) decreased by 7.5% and 9.4%, respectively. In the experiment in which the fan was operated for 15 minutes, the TVOC decreased to 97.8%. The photosynthesis of the plant and the use of soil as a filter were able to purify polluted air in a short time. And the fan's temporary operation gave the similar effect of continuous operation.

Since 2002, Korea Government has introduced Green Standard for Energy and Environmental Design Certification for reducing GHG emission in building area. However, total number of G-SEED Certification is only around 1% of total number of approved apartment buildings despite the various boosting policies. In this situation, most boosting policies and policy improvement researches are leaning toward the supplier's aspect. However, comprehensive relation and dynamics between consumer and supplier has to be considered because housing market is operated by market participants' mutual interaction. Therefore, this research presents system dynamics models based on decision making analysis of consumer and supplier in G-SEED Certification apartment building market. Then, this research evaluate the validity of boosting policies using the model. The proposed analysis can assist government to make next G-SEED Certification boosting policy.

This study aimed to investigate the influence of anions in the air on the purification of fine dust (PM10 and PM2.5) and to evaluate the effects of plants on the generation of anions in the air and the purification of fine dust. Subsequently, the fine dust reduction models were compared according to each factor and plant volume. The characteristics of anion generation by each factor were observed to be in the order of Type N.I (negative ion generator; 204,133.33 ea/cm³) > Type P₃₀ (plant vol. 30%; 362.55 ea/cm³) > Type C (control; 46.22 ea/cm³), indicating that the amount of anion generation in the anion generator treatment group and the plant arrangement group were approximately 4,417 times and 7 times higher, respectively, than that in the untreated group. Consequently, the fine dust reduction characteristics by anion generation source showed that for PM10, Type NI had a purification efficiency 2.52 times higher than Type C, and Type P₃₀ was 1.46 times higher, while for PM2.5, Type NI had a purification efficiency 2.26 times higher than Type C, and Type P₃₀ was 1.31 times higher. The efficiency of fine dust purification by plant volume was in the order of Type P₂₀ (84.60 minutes) > Type P₃₀ (106.50 minutes) = Type P₂₅ (115.50 minutes) = Type P₁₅ (117.60 minutes) > Type P₅ (125.25 minutes) = Type P₁₀ (129.75 minutes), and for ultrafine dust, Type P₂₀ (104.00 minutes) > Type P₃₀ (133.20 minutes) = Type P₂₅ (144.00 minutes) = Type P₁₅ (147.60 minutes) > Type P₅ (161.25 minutes) = Type P₁₀ (168.00 minutes). Thus, a quantitative analysis of the anions and plants for purifying fine dust and suggested matters to be considered for future green space planning and plant planting considering fine dust purification.

This study evaluated the environmental impacts of a soil washing (SW) process, especially, we compared the on-site and off-site remediation of TPH-contaminated soil using green and sustainable remediation (GSR) tool. To assess relative contribution of each stage on environmental footprints in the entire soil washing process, we classified the process into four major stages: site foundation (stage I), excavation (stage II), separation & washing (stage III), and wastewater treatment (stage IV). In on-site SW process, the relative contribution of $CO_2$ emissions and energy consumption were 87.1% and 80.4%, respectively in stage I, and in off-site SW process, the relative contribution of $CO_2$ emissions and energy consumption were 82.7% and 80.5%, respectively in stage II. In conclusion, the major factor contributing environmental impact in the SW process were consumable materials including steel and stainless steel for washing equipment in on-site treatment and fuel consumption for transportation of soil in off-site treatment.

차세대 디스플레이로 각광 받고 있는 유기발광소자는 빠른 응답속도, 넓은 시야각 및 얇은 두께로 제작이 가능한 장점들을 가지고 있으나, 고효율 유기발광소자를 제작하기 위하여 엑시톤 형성 효율을 증가시키고 형성된 엑시톤의 소멸을 감소시켜 발광 효율을 증진하는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 유기발광소자의 발광 효율을 증진하기 위하여 소자의 구조에 대한 구조적 연구와 발광 물질에 대한 재료적 연구 등이 진행되고 있으며, 그 중에서 발광층에 사용하는 인광 물질은 삼중항 상태의 엑시톤을 광자로 천이할 수 있는 특성이 있어서 높은 발광 효율의 유기발광소자 제작이 가능하기 때문에 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 그러나 인광 물질을 사용한 유기발광소자의 엑시톤 수명이 형광 물질을 사용한 유기발광소자의 엑시톤 수명보다 길기 때문에, 인광 물질을 사용한 유기발광소자에서 형성된 삼중항 엑시톤끼리 서로 충돌하여 소멸될 확률이 높아지는 문제점이 있다. 또한, 인광물질을 사용한 유기발광소자 동작시에 높은 전류 영역에서 삼중항 엑시톤 형성 양이 많아서 삼중항 엑시톤 소멸 확률이 증가하는 문제점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 고효율 유기발광소자를 제작하기 위하여 유기발광소자의 발광층으로 인광 호스트 물질에 iridium을 포함한 중금속 착화합물 계열의 녹색 인광 도펀트 물질인 tris(2-phenylpyridine) iridium(III) ($Ir(ppy)_3$)를 도핑하였다. 제작된 유기발광소자는 전류 증가에 따른 삼중항 엑시톤 충돌로 인한 발광 효율 감소를 억제하기 위하여 인광 도펀트인 $Ir(ppy)_3$와 같은 lowest unoccupied molecular orbital 준위를 가지는 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline 전자 수송층을 사용하였다. 전기적 및 광학적 특성 분석 결과 제작된 유기발광소자에서 삼중항 엑시톤 소멸을 최소화하여 발광 효율이 증가한 것을 확인하였다. 본 실험의 결과는 $Ir(ppy)_3$을 도핑한 녹색 인광 유기발광소자의 삼중항 엑시톤 충돌을 억제하여 유기발광소자의 발광 효율을 증진하는 메커니즘을 이해하는데 중요하다.

The environmental impacts of 95% remediation of a total petroleum hydrocarbon-contaminated soil were evaluated using life cycle assessment (LCA). LCA of two remediation systems, soil vapor extraction (SVE) and biopile, were conducted by using imput materials and energy listed in a remedial system standardization report. Life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) results showed that the environmental impacts of SVE were all higher than those of biopile. Prominent four environmental impacts, human toxicity via soil, aquatic ecotoxicity, human toxicity via surface water and human toxicity via air, were apparently found from the LCIA results of the both remedial systems. Human toxicity via soil was the prominent impact of SVE, while aquatic ecotoxicity was the prominent impact of biopile. This study also showed that the operation stage and the activated carbon replacement stage contributed 60% and 36% of the environmental impacts of SVE system, respectively. The major input affecting the environmental impact of SVE was electricity. The operation stage of biopile resulted in the highest contribution to the entire environmental impact. The key input affecting the environmental impact of biopile was also electricity. This study suggested that electricity reduction strategies would be tried in the contaminated-soil remediation sites for archieving less environmental impacts. Remediation of contaminated soil normally takes long time and thus requires a great deal of material and energy. More extensive life cycle researches on remedial systems are required to meet recent national challenges toward carbon dioxide reduction and green growth. Furthermore, systematic information on electricity use of remedial systems should be collected for the reliable assessment of environmental impacts and carbon dioxide emissions during soil remediation.
