겨울철이 되면 추위를 피해 따뜻한 실내에서 생활하는 시간이 많아지므로 자연히 실외활동이 현저하게 줄어든다. 사람들이 실내로 모여들기 때문에 밀폐된 공간에는 미세한 먼지나 각종 오염물질로 넘쳐난다. 이것은 호흡기 질환에 쉽게 노출되어 있다는 것을 말한다. 하지만 우리의 몸은 뛰어난 적응력을 자랑하므로 규칙적인 운동과 충분한 휴식, 철저한 위생관리와 적절한 영양섭취를 통해 겨울철 질병에서 자유롭게 벗어날 수 있다.

Modeling can be used to understand the atmospheric dispersion of air pollutants scientifically. Recent development of model computation enabled to simulate more diverse area. As flowing out from the emission source, the concentration profiles of air pollutants could be estimated in three dimensional space. This study used CALPUFF diffusion model to predict the diffusion of discharged NO2 and TSP on the atmosphere near a combined heat power plant and incinerator. It was investigated contribution concentration of the surrounding area by sources by comparing the actual measurement results and the results of the modeling. Contribution of emission sources to the local level of NO2 was found quite high particularly at the site, A-3. The estimated results by modelling revealed more significant effect on TSP at A-5.

The association between daily total/cardiovascular mortality and air pollution in Yeosu was investigated over 11-year period (January 2001 to December 2011). The purpose of this study was to evaluate th relative importance of the major air pollutants [particulate matter ($PM_{10}$), sulfur dioxide ($SO_2$)] as predictors of daily total/cardiovascular mortality. People aged 65 and older showed total mortality increase by 5.0% with $SO_2$ concentration increase by 11.67ppb(IQR) was found to raise mortality caused by circulatory diseases by 8.6%, exhibiting a statistically significant result.

According with annual report by the OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development), South Korea is at the top of the list of countries with bad air pollution (fine dust particles) and the South Korean government announced the cause to be due to the particle emissions of large and old diesel vehicles. To solve this issue, the government (jointly with related ministries), promoted the "Special Measures for Comprehensive Fine Dust Management Program" as a way to improve environmental pollution by reducing the overall output of fine dust particles emitted by public vehicles. The measure implemented a gas subsidy system to convert eco-friendly vehicles of city and chartered buses throughout the country. In this study, we take a look at the economical evaluation, comparison and analysis of the conversion of diesel vehicles to natural gas (CNG) vehicles. This report represent the basis for the need to expand the funds of the subsidy program and reviews the feasibility of the policy by taking into consideration the social and economical benefits and the effect in the environment when converting diesel fuel to natural gas vehicles through the type-specific fuel conversion scenarios.

To reduce the vehicular emissions of air pollutants, various traffic control programs (TCPs) have been used. In 2002, two TCPs have been implemented in Seoul and Busan, respectively. In this study, based on the study results on the effectiveness of the TCP in Seoul (Kim et al., 2005) and Busan (Lee et al., 2006), emission reduction by the TCP in Seoul was estimated and their contribution to the ambient air pollutants' concentrations was discussed. During the TCP period in 2002 at Seoul, emissions of air pollutants were reduced by 35% for CO and $NO_2$, 80% for HC, 23% for $PM_{10}$, and 24% for $SO_2$. Vehicular emission reduction affected the ambient concentrations significantly for $NO_2$. However, for $SO_2$, vehicular emission reduction did not affect the ambient concentration significantly. For $PM_{10}$, vehicular emission reduction did not affect the ambient concentration significantly if considering fugitive emissions.

In this study, the air quality of underground and overground railway stations was evaluated focusing on the degree of influence of the outside air quality. The measured components were particulate matter ($PM_{10}$), carbon dioxide ($CO_2$), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide ($NO_2$), formaldehyde (HCHO), ozone ($O_3$), total airborne bacteria (TAB), total volatile organic carbon (TVOC), and Radon (Rn), which are included in the maintenance standards and recommended standards of the Indoor Air Quality Management Act. Also, the indoor/outdoor concentration ratios of $PM_{10}$, $NO_2$, and $O_3$ were calculated to estimate the influence of the outdoor air quality. The concentrations of $PM_{10}$ HCHO, TVOC, $NO_2$, and Rn in the underground stations were found to be higher than those in the overground stations. These results indicate that the (present) generation of contaminants are caused by the indoor source of the underground station. The ozone concentration of the overground stations was higher than that of the underground stations, which indicates that the outdoor ozone concentration influenced that of the overground stations directly. Thus, methods of improving the IAQ should take into consideration the types of contamination.

대기 질 악화를 둘러싼 논란으로 지연되어 오던 경유 승용차의 국내 시판이 4월부터 허용됨에 따라 경제적 기대와 환경적 우려가 현실화되고 있음. 경유 승용차의 시판에 따라 자동차 연료가격이 조정된다 해도 경유 승용차의 국내시장 점유율은 지속적으로 늘어나 2009년에는 10 %를 넘어설 전망임. 경유 차량은 환경에 직접적 피해를 주는 미세먼지, 질소산화물등을 많이 배출하는 반면, 지구온난화의 원인으로 알려진 이산화탄소는 적게 배출하는 환경적 양면성을 가지고 있음. 현재 대기오염 방지기술이 빠르게 발전하고 있어 경유 승용차의 시판과 함께 대기오염 방지를 위한 보완대책과 기술개발 투자가 병행된다면 대기의 질이 오히려 개선될 가능성이 큼. 정부가 마련 중인 자동차 대기오염 방지대책의 핵심은 경유 가격을 선진국 수준으로 높이고 차세대 제작차 환경기준을 강화하는 것임. 대기오염 개선대책이 순조롭게 시행될 경우 승용차 시판에도 불구하고 대기의 질이 개선되어 경제와 환경의 상생 기회가 될 것으로 기대됨.

대기 중 금속부식은 SO$_2$와 부유먼지, $O_3$, 산성비 등의 대기오염물질 및 농도와 그 밖의 이술, 빗물, 해수입자, 온도, 습도, 강우빈도 및 산도 등의 여러 가지 요인에 의해서 영향을 받지만, 특히 SO$_2$와 습도와 관련하여 금속부식에 영향을 미치고 있다. 금속 부식이란 금속의 산화상태 즉 산화ㆍ환원 반응으로 대기오염물질의 금속부식에 미치는 영향은 오염물질 자체가 부식에 직접관여 하는 것 외에 촉매 역할로써의 간접적 요인이 더욱 중요시되고 있으며, 오염물질의종류 및 농도와 지역적 특성에 의한 영향이 크다. (중략)
