To study whether the secondary toxic substances such as ethylene and reactive oxygen species(ROS) are induced by air pollutants in foliage plants, $SO_2$ was fumigated to Pachira aquatica, Spathiphyllum patinii, and Hedera helix. $SO_2$ was controlled to $1\;{\mu}L/L$ and then fiumigated to plants for 2 days(8 hrs/day). It resulted in visible injury in P. aquatica and H. helix while no symptom appeared in S. patinii. Photosynthetic rate and water use efficiency were most remarkably reduced in P. aquatica compared to other two species whereas least in S. patinii. Two days after $SO_2$ fumigation, ethylene evolution was quantified to 23.56, 10.43 and 4.79 nL/g/h in P. aquatica, H. helix and S patinii, respectively. On the other hand, antioxidative enzymes were clearly activated by $SO_2$ treatment in all tested plant species implying ROS production. In conclusion, we could suggest that ethylene and ROS have been intimately related to the defense mechanism against $SO_2$ and their induction degree increased with plant susceptibility to $SO_2$. Furthermore, it was found that S. patinii was tolerant and P. aquatica sensitive to $SO_2$ on the basis of antioxidative enzyme activity and ethylene evolution.

There is a growing interest to develop an eco-friendly air cleaner with high performance through a remanufacturing process. Two kinds of polyurethane filter media, a coarse (Filter-A) and a fine filter media (Filer-B), are used in this study to protect a vehicle engine from airborne particles. In order to improve the collection performance of the filters (Filter-A, Filter-B), an oil coating technology on the filter surface was introduced. As a result, inertial force is a dominant collection mechanism for a dry filter media, so that collection efficiency increases with increasing filtration velocity. However, intra-structure change of an oil-coated filter media influences on the collection mechanism, which shows a non-linear collection efficiency curve in terms of filtration velocity. The result shows that the developed filter media are eco-friendly and effective to protect a vehicle engine from airborne particles especially at low filtration velocity.

Spatially resolved remote identification and quantification of trace gases in the atmosphere is desirable in various fields of scientific research as well as in public security and industrial contexts. Environmental observations investigating causes, extent md consequences of air pollution are of fundamental interest. We present an Imaging-DOAS system, a ground based remote sensing instrument that allows spatially resolved mapping of atmospheric trace gases by a differential optical absorption spectroscopy(DOAS) with sun scattered light as the light source. A passive DOAS technique permits the identification and quantification of various gases, e.g., $NO_2,\;SO_2,\;and\;CH_2O$, from their differential absorption structures with high sensitivity. The Imaging-DOAS system consists of a scanning mirror, a focusing lens, a spectrometer, a 2-D CCD, ad the integral control software. An imaging spectrometer simultaneously acquires spectral information on the incident light in one spatial dimension(column) and sequentially scans the next spatial dimension with a motorized scanning mirror. The structure of the signal acquisition system is described in detail and the evaluation method is also briefly discussed. Applications of imaging of the $NO_2$ contents in the exhaust plumes from a power plant are presented.

Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) has been focused as a promising power source, which can replace a diesel engine regarding as major source of air pollution by the ship, due to high efficiency and eco-friendly. High operating temperature of SOFC is enable to secure of high efficiency, use various fuels and no need of high priced catalyst, but it may damage to components of SOFC. Therefore temperature control system has to be designed and validated before employing the fuel cell system for securing high efficiency and reliability. In this paper, instead of using typical method to validate performance of the controller, which consumes high cost and time, performance validation system using Hardware-in-the-loop simulation was developed and validated performence of the designed temperature controller for SOFC system.

Recently, fuel consumption efficiency has become the most important issue in the vehicle development process due to the problem of environmental pollution. The air flow patterns of the vehicle body line and rear part are the most important elements affecting the fuel consumption efficiency. Especially, the airflow pattern of the vehicle rear part is the most important design factor to be considered in rear spoiler design. In this paper, the control factors affecting the airflow of the rear spoiler are determined, the airflow sensitivity of these control factors are tested and, then, the optimized control factors to reduce the airflow drag force are proposed. The model of optimized control factors is tested and the values of the optimized control factors are changed by analyzing the S/N ratio and mean value. Finally, the new modified model incorporating the optimized control factors is tested in an air flow tunnel and its ability to decrease the air drag and reduce the cost is verified.

최근 가시광선에서 응답하는 광촉매를 이용하여 저농도의 일반적인 실내 대기 오염물질 제어를 위한 적용가능성에 대해 많은 평가가 있어왔다. 가시광선에서 활성을 보이는 질소 원소가 도핑된 TiO$_2$광촉매를 이용하여 대표적인 휘발성유기화합물질들 중에 하나인 MTBE의 분해율에 대한 실험을 실시하였다. 본 연구에서 여러 가지 변수들 중에 농도와 상대습도에 따라 MTBE의 분해율에 대하여 실험하였으며, 본 연구의 실험조건하에서 질소가 도핑된 TiO$_2$ 광촉매를 통해서 효과적으로 MTBE가 제거됨을 확인 할 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 대기 오염 물질의 방출이 적고, 소음이 적은 환경 친화적인 Ni-MH전지를 독립형 태양광 가로등시스템에 적용하였으며 충방전제어기를 구성하여 출력특성을 고찰하였다. 출력특성을 고찰한 결과 충전 및 방전이 원활히 진행됨을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 충전시 정전압 충전방식을 사용하였고 태양 전지 출력측에 MPPT제어가 이루어 지지 않은 탓으로 태양전지 이용률이 떨어지며 화창한 날 태양전지의 등가 발전시간은 약 6시간에서 7시간 정도 나오지만 축전지는 오전 중에 충전이 완료되고 오후발전량은 모두 버리게 됨을 알 수 있었다.

국내 난방 시스템은 대부분 화석에너지를 열원으로 하는 온수순환방식이다. 화석에너지를 사용하기 때문에 난방 시스템 가동에서 발생되는 공해는 대기-오염의 여러 원인 중 하나이며 가동 효율도 떨어진다. 이러한 단점들을 보완하기 위하여 새롭게 보급되고 있는 난방 시스템 중 히프파이프를 이용한 난방시스템은 전기에너지를 열원으로 사용하는 청정에너지로서 기존 난방시스템 보다 $40\%$의 에너지 절감 효과를 나타내고 있다. 본 논문은 전기에너지를 사용하는 히팅 시스템의 제어를 위하여 개발된 컨트롤러에 관한 것이다.

Main disposal technology for industrial wasites in Korea has been landfilling, however, this is encountering serious problems such as the lack of landfill sites and objections of residents. Incineration, therefore, has become a final solution for this dilema. Various kinds of air pollutants generation are possible because of the variety of types and compositions of wastes generated in industry. In this paper, air pollutants produced while incinerating hazardous industrial wastes are discussed and some control technologies are surveryed with the purpose of optimal design of incinerators and emission reduction. From this initial stage of incinerator utilization, low-emission type should be developed and applied and intensive research on pollutant generation due to waste incineration and advanced control technologies should be also performed.

인류문명의 발달과 더불어 자동차는 우리의 일상생활에서 가장 긴요한 문명의 이기로서 교통 및 수송수단의 대부분을 차지하고 있음은 주지의 사실이다. 좀더 편리하고 이상적인 자동차를 지 향하려는 인간의 의지는 자동차의 기관을 비롯하여 각종장치의 구조 및 작동성능을 최적화하는데 크게 이바지하여 왔으며, 이러한 노력은 자동차용 기관의 효율증대와 배기저감 등에 많은 발 전을 가져오게 되었다. 특히 에너지타동이후 우리나라를 비롯한 세계여러나라는 자원의 소비절 약을 극대화하려는 방향으로 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 자동차용 연소기관의 성능은 초기 에는 주로 출력성능에 주안을 두어 설계하여 왔으나 점차 배기에 의한 대기오염문제가 제기됨에 따라 배기가스의 유해성분저감, 소음저감, 내구성 증대를 비롯하여 연료소비절감을 감안한 경 제성을 감안하여 설계하게 되었으며 최근에는 이들을 충족시키면서도 최적제어시스템을 갖는 자동차로 발전하게 되었다. 자동차용 연소기관의 주류는 지금까지 사용하여 오고 있는 가솔린 기관, 디이젤기관이며 이 외에도 가스 터빈, 전기자동차용기관, 등이 일부 사용되고 있다. 이 러한 관점에서 여기서는 주로 자동차용 가솔린기관과 디이젤기관의 진전과 최근의 동향에 대하여 개괄적으로 고찰하여 보기로 한다.
