Health Impact Assessment based on municipal law is performed and written in the sanitary and public health part in the current environmental impact assessment. Residential development projects such as housing site development etc., are not subject to health impact assessment under Article 13 of the Environmental Health Act. However, health impact assessment is conducted partially based on the review that health impact assessment targets which are identified among substances emitted from pollutants nearby industrial complexes should be assessed risk (including carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic) at the stage of the environmental impact assessment consultation. Although residential development projects do not have plans for pollutant emitting facilities that emit hazardous air pollutants, there is a possibility that residents might be affected by pollutants from industrial complex near residential area in the future. In this study, Health impact assessment was conducted to examine the impact on residents in planned areas by analyzing previous residential development projects. We predicted future impact by using the literature survey results on surrounding area (case1) and conducting contribution analysis (case2) and predicting exposure concentration of carcinogenic substances applying Atmospheric Diffusion Model (AERMOD). By this study, we concluded that applying on-site survey, contribution analysis and prediction of exposure concentration by using AERMOD complementarily will be effective to assess the health impact to the receptors by pollutants from industrial complexes near the planned zone.

세계 여러 나라에서는 구두를 닦거나 수선하는 직업에 종사하는 사람들이 있고 우리 나라 역시 그렇다. 그러나 우리 나라 구두기능 미화원들의 작업환경은 독특한 형태로서, 우리 나라는 1991년 8월부터 서울시내 도로변(人道)에 구두수선대라는 명칭으로 구두수선박스가 곳곳에 점유하고 있다. 본 연구는 도시지역 대기오염의 주 요인이 차량임을 고려하여 도로변 구두수선대 실내 및 실외의 PM3.5와 이산화질소(NO$_2$)를 측정하였고, PM3.5/NO$_2$ 농도비를 계산하였다. (중략)

주거지역 A와 주거지역 B의 PM10 평균농도 비교에서 산업지역과 인접한 주거지역 A에서 계절에 관계없이 26-32% 높은 농도를 나타내어 산업지역에 인접한 주거지역 A가 먼 주거지역 B 보다 PM10의 영향에 더 크게 노출된 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. PM10에 포함된 Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, Zn 등의 무기성분은 대부분 인위적인 발생원과 관련성이 있는 대기 오염물질로, 인위적인 배출원의 영향정도를 파악하기 위하여 풍성계수 분석결과 높은 풍성계수를 나타내어 인위적인 오염원임을 확인 할 수 있었고, 그 평균농도는 주거지역 A가 주거지역 B 보다 높게 나타나 주거지역 A가 주거지역 B 보다 산업 오염원의 노출에 더 많은 영향을 받는 다는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 또한 이들 무기화합물질의 상관성 분석결과 높은 상관성과 통계적인 유의성 (p<0.01)이 있었으며, 공통의 오염원을 추정 할 수 있었다. PM10의 가능한 오염원 기여도 평가에 있어서, 주거지역 A에서는 제철관련 오염원과 토양오염원의 공통 오염원 기여도가 33.4%로 나타나 산업관련 오염원의 기여도를 뚜렷하게 분리하여 평가하기는 곤란하였으나, 주거지역 B에서 토양관련 오염원의 독립적인 농도 기여도가 54%로 높게 나타났기 때문에, 상대적으로 산업지역과 인접한 주거지역 A에서 산업관련 오염원 기여도가 높은 것을 알 수 있었다.

AC-PDP(Plasma display Panel)는 기체 방전을 이용한 디스플레이로서 기체에 직접 노출되는 MgO 보호막의 이차전자 방출계수(${\gamma}$)는 AC-PDP의 방전특성을 결정짓는 중요한 요소이다. MgO 보호막의 이차전자 방출계수는 AC-PDP에 주입하는 기체의 종류, 결정 방향성과 표면오염상태등에 영향을 받는다. 본 연구에서는 MgO 보호막을 열처리한 상태와 열처리 하지 않은 상태를 ${\gamma}$-FIB 장치를 이용하여 2차전자방출 계수를 측정하여 비교하였다. 또한 24시간 MgO 보호막을 대기중에 방치하여 두었을 때 MgO 보호막의 표면오염상태에 대한 2차전자방출계수값을 측정하여 MgO 보호막의 표면오염에 대한 방전 전압특성저하가 어느정도인지를 알아보았다. 실험에 사용한 혼합기체는 Ne+Xe, He+Ne+Xe 혼합기체를 사용하였고, MgO 보호막은 21inch 규격의 실제 PDP Panel의 MgO 보호막을 사용하였다.

This study was carried out to find out characteristics and contamination status of the urban-forest soils. Both topsoil (0-20 cm) and subsoil (40-60 cm) samples were collected from Namsan, Changdeok-palace, Seongjusan and Odaesan (control). The samples were analyzed for physicochemical properties, heavy metal (Cd, Cu, Pb, Zn) and anion $(NO_3\;^-,\;SO_4\;^{2-})$ contents. Soil pH of Odaesan was the highest followed by Namsan, Changdeok-palace and Seongjusan. The anion concentrations of the soil samples were in the order of Namsan, Seongjusan > Changdeok-palace > Odaesan. The relationships between soil pH and the anion concentrations showed highly significant negative correlation, which indicated acidification of soil due to air pollutants such as $NO_3\;^-$ and $SO_4\;^{2-}$ was going on. The heavy metal contents of the soils of urban-forest were higher than those of control. Heavy metal contents in the topsoil were higher than those in the subsoil. Since urban-forest soils were quite vulnerable to acidification and heavy metal accumulation due to chronic exposure to air pollutants such as automobile exhaust, a comprehensive countermeasure not to deteriorate urban-forest ecology must be prepared in the near future.

아황산가스(SO$_2$)는 일차 대기오염물질 중의 하나이며, 수용성인 무색의 자극성 가스로써 주 배출원은 황을 함유하고 있는 석탄과 석유가 연소되는 공정과 금속 제련공정, 기타 산업공정 등으로 볼 수 있다. 최근 선진국들은 배출 규제를 통하여 아황산가스 배출량을 감소시켜왔으나, 개발도상국의 아황산가스 배출은 매년 증가하여 전 세계적으로는 증가 추세에 있다 (Agrawal and Deepak, 2003).(중략)

Ginkgo biloba L. has been planted in the city as street trees because reported as resistant species to air pollutant. Especially, the trees planted on the street of 'Cheongro', Mt. 'Nam', and 'Jamsil' have been exposed to air pollutant for a long time. This study was conducted to examine chlorophyll contents and genetic variation of Ginkgo biloba in the areas. Chlorophyll contents measured in the above three areas were variable although the the diameter at breast height measured in 'Cheongro' and Mt. 'Nam' were constant. In addition, the result showed positive relation between chlorophyll contents and DBH in this study. Eight enzyme systems were analyzed in megagametophytes which were collected in the areas and separated to two groups based on chlorophyll contents. All the enzymes appeared to be polymorphic : Got-2, Pgi-2, Pgm, Acon, Mnr, Mdh, Skdh, and 6Pgd. The sensitive (S) groups varied from 1.253 to 2.571 in the genetic diversity and the tolerant (T) groups ranged from 1.416 to 2.825. The observed single locus heterozygosities (H$_{0}$) ranged from 0.056 to 0.611 in the S groups, and from 0.179 to 1.643 in the T groups. The expected heterozygosities (H$_{e}$) ranged from 0.208 to 0.629 in the S groups and from 0.321 to 0.658 in the T groups. In addition, the H$_{0}$ values averaged over all loci were 0.326 for the T groups and 0.299 for the S group, respectively. A difference between the two groups was 0.027. The T groups had the unique alleles and genotypes and all the parameters for genetic diversity showed that the T groups had higher genetic diversity than the S groups.s. genetic diversity than the S groups.

This study was conducted to compare and estimate the daily PAHs dietary intake from both home-cooking and dining-out, through approach of model diet used in exposure assessment of food contaminants. Food commodities reflecting in model diet were selected from the KHIDI report and were analysed in cooked or uncooked edible forms using HPLC-Fluorscence Detector. The PAHs dietary intake comparison between home-cooking and dining-out was based on one meal intake suggested in model diet and PAHs dietary intake was estimated by using food consumption rate and body weight of the Korean adult group. The daily PAHs dietary intake was calculated by permutation and combination method with assumption that a person consumed 2 meals from home-cooking menu and 1 meal from dining-out menu. The total PAHs levels in 36 food commodities with 200 samples were ranged from 2.00 ug/kg to 141.28 ug/kg and a food showing the highest PAHs level was the stir-fried anchovy. The $TEQ_{BaP}$ levels of PAHs were calculated using benzo(a)pyrene equivalents individual congener level and corresponding TEF value and the $TEQ_{BaP}$ level were ranged from $0.03\;ugTEQ{BaP}$ to $1.31\;ugTEQ_{BaP}$ and a food showing the highest $TEQ_{BaP}$ level was the hamburger. The PAHs dietary intakes per one meal from home-cooking and dining-out were $2.4\times10^{-3}\;ugTEQ_{BaP}/kg/meal\;and\;4.0\times10^{-3}\;ugTEQ_{BaP}/kg/meal$, respectively. This data showed the PAHs dietary intake from dining-out was about 1.7 times higher than from the home-cooking. The daily PAHs dietary intakes of general Korean adult having two meals from home-cooking and one meal from dining-out per a day were ranged between $8.0\times10^{-3}\~9.7\times10^{-3}\;ugTEQ_{BaP}/gg/day$ and mean value as $8.9\times10^{-3}\~9.7\times10^{-3}\;ugTEQ_{BaP}/gg/day$.

Recently, numerous studies have focused on the health effects of ambient particulate pollutants. Compared to earlier studios that focused on severe air pollution episodes, recent studies are more relevant to understanding the health effects of air pollution at levels common to contemporary cities. We reviewed recent epidemiologic studies that evaluated health effects of particulate air pollution and concluded that respirable particulate air pollution is an important contributing factor to acute mortality and morbidity. We observed increased respiratory and cardiovascular deaths, increased hospital admissions and visits, and decreased lung function. We also observed increased mortality and morbidity in a Korean population. Theses health effects were observed at levels below the current Ambient Air Quality Standard for particulate air pollution.
