The collection of $PM_{10}$ and $PM_{2.5}$ fine particulate matter samples was made at the 1100 m site of Mt. Halla of Jeju Island, located at the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) of background area, during the fall of 2012. Their ionic and elemental species were analyzed, in order to investigate the chemical compositions and size distribution characteristics. In $PM_{2.5}$ fine particles ($d_p$ < $2.5{\mu}m$), the concentrations of the secondary formed nss-$SO{_4}^{2-}$, $NH_4{^+}$ and $NO_3{^-}$ species were 4.84, 1.98, and $1.27{\mu}g/m^3$, respectively, showing 58.2% of the total $PM_{2.5}$ mass. On the other hand, their concentrations in $PM_{10-2.5}$ coarse particles (2.5 < $d_p$ < $10{\mu}m$) were 0.63, 0.21 and $1.10{\mu}g/m^3$, respectively, occupying 22.8% of the total $PM_{10-2.5}$ mass. The comparative study of size distribution has resulted that $NH_4{^+}$, nss-$SO{_4}^{2-}$, $K^+$ and $CH_3COO^-$ are mostly existed in fine particles, and $NO_3{^-}$ is distributed in both fine and coarse particles, but $Na^+$, $Cl^-$, $Mg^{2+}$ and nss-$Ca^{2+}$ are rich in coarse particle mode.

In the present, external environmental factors affect human health. In particular, the most important issue is fine dust in these days. Because fine dust is inhaled through the human respiratory system is known to be harmful to health. Tunnels for cars and people can also be easily seen around us. This study, the amount of scattering radiation was measured for walkable tunnels about dust. For the measurement method, dust and radiation dose in the tunnel were measured on good weather (fine dust level: 0 ~ 30 ㎍/㎥) and normal day (fine dust level: 0 ~ 80 ㎍/㎥). The measurement resulted in an increase of 10~20 % of dust in the center of the tunnel on a good weather day and an increase of 20~30 % of dust in the center of the tunnel on normal weather. On the other hand, the results of tunnel measurement of radiation dose increased by 10~20 % at the center of the tunnel non-depending on the weather. As a result, pedestrians should pay attention to scattering dust and scattered radiation while moving through the tunnel. Therefore, it is recommended to wear a filter mask of PM2.5 or less during frequent tunnel walking.

최근, 한국에서는 사람들이 미세먼지로 많은 고통을 받고 있으며, 특히, 초미세먼지(PM2.5)의 경우에는 생성될 때, 화학적인 2차 반응에 의하여 생성되는 것으로 여겨지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 R에서 제공하는 기계학습 프로그램을 이용하여 초미세먼지를 예측하기 위한 실험을 진행하였다. R소프트웨어는 빅데이터 및 통계 분석을 위해서 많이 사용되고 있는 프로그램이다. 최근에는 인공지능의 기계학습을 위한 기능도 제공하고 있는데, 데이터 예측을 할 때, 사용하면 매우 유용하다.

This study examines how the concentration of Fine Particles(PM10: Fine Particles of under Diameter $10{\mu}m$) included in the air influences on the satellite signal transmission frequency band. For the study of satellite signal attenuation rate by the concentration of Fine Particles, the concentration of Fine Particles classified 7 levels, below $50{\mu}g/m^3$, below $100{\mu}g/m^3$, below $200{\mu}g/m^3$, below $400{\mu}g/m^3$, below $800{\mu}g/m^3$, below $1,600{\mu}g/m^3$, below $3,200{\mu}g/m^3$. After then, it analyzed how much each concentration influenced on the satellite signal transmission frequency band.

Particulate matter (PM) causes oxidative stress and can rapidly diffuse from the lung to the blood and accumulate in the liver when inhaled. Natural antioxidants can be used to protect against oxidative stress caused by PM. Sargassum horneri, a brown seaweed, possesses antioxidative activity and is a good source of functional foods. Therefore, this study investigated the antioxidant potential of S. horneri extract (SHE) in the livers of PM-induced asthmatic mice. PM inhalation triggered lipid peroxidation and oxidative stress, and SHE treatment attenuated malondialdehyde in the liver of mice with PM-induced asthma. Furthermore, SHE mitigated the increase in catalase activity. Importantly, SHE reduced the activity of 8-oxoguanine glycosylase (OGG1), a DNA repair enzyme. These results suggest that SHE has antioxidant potential for moderating PM-induced oxidative stress and DNA damage in the liver of asthmatic mice.

Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is not only affected by anthropogenic emissions, but also intensifies, migrates, decreases by hydrometeorological factors. Therefore, it is essential to understand relationships between the hydrometeorological factors and PM2.5 concentration. In Korea, PM2.5 concentration is measured at the ground observatories and estimated data are given to locations where observatories are not present. In this way, the data is not suitable to represent an area, hence it is impossible to know accurate concentration at such locations. In addition, it is hard to trace migration, intensification, reduction of PM2.5. In this study, we analyzed the relationships between hydrometeorological factors, acquired from Global Land Data Assimilation System (GLDAS), and PM2.5 by means of Bayesian Model Averaging (BMA). By BMA, we also selected factors that have meaningful relationship with the variation of PM2.5 concentration. 4 PM2.5 concentration models for different seasons were developed using those selected factors, with Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) from MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS). Finally, we mapped the result of the model, to show spatial distribution of PM2.5. The model correlated well with the observed PM2.5 concentration (R ~0.7; IOA ~0.78; RMSE ~7.66 ㎍/㎥). When the models were compared with the observed PM2.5 concentrations at different locations, the correlation coefficients differed (R: 0.32-0.82), although there were similarities in data distribution. The developed concentration map using the models showed its capability in representing temporal, spatial variation of PM2.5 concentration. The result of this study is expected to be able to facilitate researches that aim to analyze sources and movements of PM2.5, if the study area is extended to East Asia.

환경부 훈령 제500호 "비산먼지 저감대책 추진에 관한 업무처리 규정(2001.9.4)"에 따르면 "비산먼지"라 함은 일정한 배출구 없이 대기 중에 직접 배출되는 먼지를 말하며, 대기환경보전법에서는 비산먼지 발생사업의 신고 및 발생억제 의무를 규정하고 있다. 미국 국가배출목록(U.S. EPA, 2000)에 의하면 미세먼지(PM10) 배출량의 89%를 비산먼지가 차지하고 있으며 이러한 수치는 비산먼지가 대기질에 미치는 영향도가 어느 정도인지를 예시하고 있다. 한편 우리나라의 경우 현재 미세먼지 배출목록에서 비산먼지 항목이 누락되어 있기 때문에 효율적인 대기질 관리를 위해서는 전국 지역별 비산 먼지 배출 목록의 구축이 시급한 것으로 사료된다.
