본 연구에서는 대기 중 황성분을 채취하는데 가장 널리 활용되는 방법 중의 하나인 테들러 백 방식의 채취와 관련된 오차요인을 여러 가지 관점에서 검정하고자 하였다. 이를 위해, 표준시료를 백과 백간에 이동시켜 주므로서, 백의 벽면을 통해 초래될 수 있는 성분별 손실율을 비교하였다. 상대습도 0 %, 실온 조건에서 실험한 결과, 황화수소와 멀캡턴과 같은 성분들은 백과의 접촉이 일어나면서, 20 %에 가까운 손실율이 확인되었다. 반면, 상대적으로 이들에 비해 반응성이 높지 않은 DMS, DMDS와 같은 성분들도 10 %내외의 손실율이 확인되었다. 이들 성분의 정확한 정량을 위해서는 테들러 백의 흡착손실 등에 대한 특성을 정확하게 파악하는 것이 중요하다. 특히, 습도나 온도와 같은 환경조건의 변화에 대한 고려도 동시에 수반되어야 할 것이란 점을 확인할 수 있었다.

The study evaluated the loss rate of carbon dioxide, which is the prevalent greenhouse gas, according to the method of keeping specimens using standard gases. In order to examine the difference generated by a bag of storing specimens, it checked the loss rate according to concentration and time by making a 2nd set of standard gases in a Tedlar bag and an Aluminium bag. The containers lost gases at a rate of 5% or more after 6 day, and 10% or more after 15 days in both bags. In time, it was confirmed that the loss rate of the Aluminium bag was higher than that of the Tedlar bag. Specifically, there was no significant difference between the two bags after 12 days had passed, but by the 15th day, it was confirmed that the loss in an Aluminium bag was more severe than that in the Tedlar bag. The study went on to check the relations between the humidity in storage and the loss rate. The results showed that there was no significant effect of humidity on the loss rate until 72 hours had passed, when the loss rate in the Tedlar bag with high humidity was about 5% higher than that of the Tedlar bag in dry conditions. This study examined the loss rate of carbon dioxide, a typical greenhouse gas. It is important to note that the loss rate was determined by calculating highly reliable carbon dioxide emission and emission coefficient data, with consideration to the method of keeping specimens.

In this work, sample loss of reduced sulfur compounds (RSC) was investigated with respect to bag sampling techniques. For comparison purpose, calibration slopes were obtained by analyzing standards prepared by 'within syringe dilution' (WSD) method against those made either by 'Tedlar bag dilution' (TBD) or by 'polyester aluminum bag dilution' (PBD) method. The results indicated that the recovery rate of TBD showed the mean values of about 87%, while those of PBD about 77%. Despite the fact that sample loss is inevitable, precise sampling of reduced sulfur compounds may still be possible, if one acknowledges and be prepared for such loss rates of bag sampling methods.

In this study, the recovery rate of Tedlar bag (T) sampler was investigated in comparison to polyester aluminum bag (P) sampler. To derive the comparative data sets for the relative performance between different samplers, a series of calibration experiments were performed by using 1 ppb standard of four offensive reduced sulfur compounds (RSC) odorants ($H_2S$, $CH_3SH$, DMS, and DMDS) along with $SO_2$ and $CS_2$. All the analysis was made by gas chromatography/pulsed flame photometric detector (GC/PFPD) combined with air server/thermal desorber (AS/TD). The measurement data were obtained by loading gaseous standards (1 ppb) at 3 injection volumes (250, 500 and 1,000 mL) at three intervals (0, 24 and 72 hrs). The recovery rates (RR) of P sampler were computed against the slope values of T sampler. According to our analysis, P sampler exhibits slightly enhanced loss relative to T, especially with light RSCs ($H_2S$ and $CH_3SH$). At day 0, RR for the two were 88 and 85%, respectively. Such reduction proceeded rather rapidly in the case of $H_2S$ through time. However, P sampler was more stable to store $SO_2$ unlike others. Despite slightly reduced recovery, P sampler appears as a good replacement of T sampler.

In this study, we have developed a cryogenic concentration system for the analysis of non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHCs) in air sample. NMHCs with nmol/mol level of concentrations in the atmosphere were quantified by a comparative method with certified reference gas mixture. GC/FID with cryogenic concentration system operated in the range from $-67^{\circ}C$ to $180^{\circ}C$ was adopted. After cryogenic concentration, a fast desorption by heating could achieve a large amount of sample injection into the GC/FID. The linearity of the system was verified with the peak areas of NMHCs of the concentration amount of sample. The reproducibility is less than 10% and the limit of detection (LOD) is 0.1 nmol/mol. For the application of this system, we analyzed NMHCs in gas samples taken from air and soil in Daejeon, Seosan and Goheung.

In this study, the $N_2O$, emitted from combustion facility, were analyzed by using simulated gas and field samples to find out how long samples can be stored in Tedlar bag. According to the results of the experiment using simulated gases (1 ppm, 5 ppm, 10 ppm) in Tedlar bag, After 144hr, $N_2O$ concentration of simulated gases changed that 1 ppm is 5.3%, 5 ppm is 12.8%, and 10ppm is 10.5%. The higher initial concentration of simulated gas was, the larger rate of $N_2O$ concentration was changed. In case of high concentration samples, it need to be careful when it was analyzed after 144 hr. Stability evaluation in Tedlar bag was carried out through field samples such as combustion facility of bituminous coal, B-C oil and LNG. The concentration rate of field samples, which is under 1 ppm of average initial concentration, was evaluated using statistical method. As a result, $N_2O$ concentrations were changed to field samples in the bag even when 96 hr had passed. And after sampling, it is necessary that sample analysis should be quickly as soon as possible.

The emission quantity of nitrous oxide is second largest among non-$CO_2$ greenhouse gas in Korea. In this study, we investigated loss rate of nitrous oxide which was filled in PVF and Al-PE bag as time goes on. Concentrations of tested samples were about 25 ppmv, 50 ppmv, 75 ppmv prepared by standard reference gas. In case of all experiments, loss rate of PVF bag was higher than Al-PE bag. After 18 days, loss rate of PVF bag was from 29.7% to 38.6% while Al-PE bag was from 21.7% to 23.7%. Especially the differential growed bigger when initial concentration of $N_2O$ in PVF bag was lower. And we also studied the effect of cock opening/closing procedures on loss rate. Prepared samples in experimental group were analyzed several times for 20 days and samples in control group were analysed only 1 time after 20 days. The experimental results showed that cock opening/closing procedures appeared to have little impact on loss rate.

In this study, an attempt was made to measure uncertainties involved in the VOC analysis for the VOC working standards prepared by a dilution technique using Tedlar bags. For this purpose, VOC standard gases of benzene, toluene, xylene, and styrene were prepared at four different concentrations (4, 8, 20, and 40 ppb). These standard samples were then loaded on to the GC system equipped with air server/thermal desorption (AS/TD) system. Each of these four standard concentrations was analyzed individually to derive their respective calibration results. These calibration data sets were then compared across four different compounds. According to this comparison, differences in calibration patterns were moderately insignificant within the selected concentration range of 4~40 ppb. It was also observed that the loss of styrene standard was fairly high compared to other VOCs investigated simultaneously. The results of our study suggest that the analytical uncertainty associated with the preparation of VOC starndard gas using a dilution technique can be assessed in a fairly reasonable manner for samples with a narrow concentration range.

To comply with stricter regulations provoked by increasing odor nuisance, it is imperative to practice effective odor control for sustainable livestock production. This study was conducted to assess odor and odorous compounds emitted from liquid animal manure with different treatment methods such as Fresh Manure(without treatment, FM), Anaerobic Digestion(AD) and Thermophilic Aerobic Digestion(TAD) and their application to soil. Air samples were collected at the headspace of liquid manure, upland and paddy soil, and analyzed for odor intensity and offensiveness using an olfactometry; odor concentration index using odor analyser; nitrogen-containing compound such as ammonia(NH3) using fluorescence method; and sulfur containing compounds such as hydrogen sulfide(H2S), methyl mercaptan(MeSH), dimethyl sulfide(DMS) and dimethyl disulfide(DMDS) using gas chromatography-pulsed flame photometric detector, respectively. Odor intensity, offensiveness and concentration index from TAD liquid manure was statistically lower than those from FM and AD(p<0.01). Mean concentrations of H2S, MeSH, DMS, DMDS and NH3 were 65.93ppb, 18.55ppb, 5.26ppb, 0.33ppb and 10.57ppm for liquid manure with AD; and 5.15ppb, 0.97ppb, 0.80ppb, 0.56ppb and 1.34ppm for liquid manure with TAD, respectively. More than 60% of malodorous compounds related to nitrogen and sulfur were removed by heterotrophic microorganisms during TAD treatment. When liquid manure was applied onto upland and paddy soil, NH3 removal efficiencies ranged from 51 to 94% and 22 to 91% for AD and TAD liquid manure, respectively. The above results show that liquid manure with TAD is superior to AD and FM with respect to the odor reduction and odor problem caused by land applied liquid manure is directly related to the degree of odor generated by the manure treatment method.
