A large fraction of urban $PM_{10}$ concentrations is due to non-exhaust traffic emissions including road dust, tire wear particles, and brake lining particles. Although potential health and environmental impacts associated with tire wear debris have been increased, few environmentally and biologically relevant studies of actual tire wear debris have been conducted. Tire wear particles (TWP) are released from the tire tread as a result of the interaction between the tire and the pavement. Roadway particles (RP), meanwhile, are particles on roads composed of a mixture of elements from tires, pavements, fuels, brakes, and environmental dust. The main objective of present study is to identify the contribution of tires to the generation of RP and to assess the potential environmental and health impacts of this contribution. First, a mobile measurement system was constructed and used to measure the roadway particles on asphalt road according to vehicle speed. The equipment of the mobile system provides $PM_{10}$ concentrations by Dusttrak DRX and number density & size distribution measurements of fine and ultra-fine particles by a fast mobility particle sizer (FMPS) and an aerosol particle sizer (APS). When traveling on an asphalt road at constant speed, there is a clear tendency for PM10 concentration to increase slightly in accordance with an increase in the vehicle speed. It was also found that considerable brake wear particles and particles from tire/road interface were generated by rapid deceleration of the vehicle. The morphology and elements of the roadway particles were also analyzed using SEM-EDX technique.

미세입자의 배출원을 추정하기 위해서는 수용지점에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 배출원의 화학적 특성에 관한 정보를 필요로 한다. 수용모델(chemical mass balance model, CMB)의 경우, 모델수행에 필요한 정보는 각각의 배출원에서 배출되는 입자의 화학적 구성성분특성을 파악하는 것이 가장 중요하다(Waton et al., 1984; U. S. EPA, 1987; 강병욱 등, 2000) 이러한 배출원으로는 각종 산업배출원, 자동차, 토양, 도로 비산먼지 등 지역의 특성에 따라서 다양한 배출원들이 대상이 될 수 있다. (중략)

Road subsidence, frequently occurring in urban areas, is caused by collapsing of surface layer due to underground cavities followed by a loss of soils. To better understand this phenomenon, the mechanism of cavity formation should be identified firstly. Two kinds of possible subsidence mechanisms were established through previous case studies and the numerical analyses based on Distinct Element Method were conducted for each of these mechanisms. It was confirmed that particle loss and surface settlement can develop differently depending on slit size, void ratio, and particle shape among the various factors influencing the road subsidence. The result demonstrated that the effects of varying cavity diameter and depth could be quantified as a damage chart.

전 세계적으로 철도차량에 의한 대기오염물질은 도로 차량과 기타 산업부문과 비교할 때 비교적 낮은 비율을 차지하지만 점차 미세먼지나 질소산화물의 배출량이 증가하면서 주요 대기오염원으로 부각되고 있다. 최근 미국 등 선진국을 중심으로 배출가스 규제대상을 기존의 도로용 차량에서 비도로용 차량까지 확대적용하고 있으며, 우리나라에서도 이에 대한 대책마련을 서두르고 있다. (중략)

The first flush phenomenon is defined as the initial period of road runoff during which the concentration of pollutants was significantly high. Road runoff contains significant loads of micro-particles, heavy metals and organic constituents. There were two major objectives of this study. The first objective was to characterize the road runoff. The second objective was to measure and evaluate particle sire distribution of the road runoff, Stormwater runoff was monitored on two sites of four lane road areas along with traffic volume. A total six storm events were monitored to characterize the road runoff. The quantity of road runoff and quality constituents, including chemical oxygen demand ($COD_{Cr}$), suspended solids(SS), total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN), ortho-phosphorus ($PO_4-P$), total phosphorus(TP), heavy metals and particle size distribution were analyzed. The results indicate that the concentration of SS, $COD_{Cr}$, TKN and TP ranges were $45{\sim}2,396\;mg/L$, $40{\sim}931\;mg/L$, $0.1{\sim}19.6\;mg/L$, and $0.2{\sim}25.1\;mg/L$, respectively. The results of the regression analysis between SS and the others constituents shows that $COD_{Cr}$, TP, Cu, Pb were highly correlated. And the results showed that the mean range of particle size and uniformity coefficient for road runoff were $6.7{\sim}23.4{\mu}$ and $6.4{\sim}10.2$, respectively.

대기중 입자상 물질은 대기중에서 발견될 수는 고체 및 액체상 물질로서 여러 가지 형태를 띄고 있다. 이러한 입자상 물질은 다양한 배출원인 자동차, 공장굴뚝, 가정난방 등과 같은 화석연료 연소시설과 토양 도로먼지, 건설현장, 해염입자 등과 같은 비 연소시설에서 배출되어 직접적으로 대기중으로 유입되기도 하며, 대기중 기체상 물질들이 태양광선 및 수증기의 존재하에서 화학반응을 일으켜 생성되는 이차입자도 있다. 미국 EPA (Environmental Production Agency)에서는 대기중 입자상 물질을 입경에 따라 두가지 형태인 PM$_{2.5}$와 PM$_{10}$으로 분류하였다.

To meet the requirements of the Tier 4 interim regulations for off-road vehicles, emissions of particulate matter (PM) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) must be reduced by 95% and 30%, respectively, compared to current regulations. In this research, both the DPF and HPL EGR systems were investigated, with the aim of decreasing the PM and NOx emissions of a 56-kW off-road vehicle. The results of the experiments show that the DOC-DPF system is very useful for reducing PM emissions. It is also found that the back pressure is acceptable, and the rate of power loss is less than 5%. By applying the HPL EGR system to the diesel engine, the NOx emissions under low- and middle-load conditions are reduced effectively because of the high differential pressure between the turbocharger inlet and the intake manifold. The NOx emissions can be decreased by increasing the EGR rate, but total hydrocarbon (THC) emission increases because of the increased fuel consumption needed to compensate for the power loss caused by EGR and DPF.

In this study, a series of site measurement of particulate and gases pollutants at five tunnels were carried out along with case studies to review the suitability of the current road tunnel ventilation design standards. Previous studies by other researchers have shown that the ratios of the level of measurement to the standard were 27.9%, 1.6% and 3.4% for TSP, CO and NOx, respectively. Those measured in this site study shows even lower ratios; the ratios were 2.6%, 0.8% and 0.3%, for TSP, CO and NOx, respectively. The particle size analysis of TSP for the five tunnels shows that PM10 including tire wear and re-suspended road dust exceeded 20.4%. This implies that non-exhaust particulate matter must be taken into account, since the current design standards for the particulate matter (visibility) include only the engine emission. Based on the recent research results, for vehicle emission rate and slope-speed correction factors, revision of ventilation design standards for pollutants is required. WRA (PIARC) also emphasizes the necessity of the ventilation design standards for pollutants. In addition, enactment of a new road tunnel ventilation system operation standard or guideline is strongly recommended when considering the low operating rate of the ventilation system with jet-fans.

도시대기중의 분진은 입경 분포에 따라 공기 역학적 직경 2.5$\mu\textrm{m}$를 기준으로 미세 입자(fine particles)와 거대 입자(coarse particles)로 나누어지는 쌍극분포를 보인다. 미세 입자는 주로 화석연료의 연소, 자동차의 배기가스 등과 같은 인위적 발생원에 의한 것이며, 거대입자는 토사의 재 비산, 해염 통과 같은 자연적 발생원에 의한 것이다. 미세 입자는 오염된 도심지역 분진수의 90-99%에 이르는 높은 비율을 보이고 있고, 폐 깊숙히 침투하여 폐 질환을 일으킬 수 있다. (중략)

고속도로 교량이나 성토지역 노면이 제공하는 자연적인 위치에너지(동력)를 활용하여 수리학적인 입자상 오염물질 분리장치를 실험실 조건에서 운전한 결과 운전압력 0.5기압(수두 5.6m) 이상에서 90% 이상의 제거효율을 보였다. $D_{50}$는 약$45{\mu}m$이었는데 입자의 크기가 $45{\mu}m$ 보다 굵은 입자는 거의 대부분 제거되지만 $45{\mu}m$보다 작은 입자의 제거는 쉽지 않음을 시사해주고 있다. 이러한 입자를 제거하기 위한 후속장치가 필요하며 장치의 원활한 운전을 위해서 유지관리문제에 대한 치밀한 검토가 필요하다.
