We prepared thermally robust fully crosslinked poly(methyl methacrylate-co-divinyl benzene) ［poly(MMA-co-DVB)］microspheres successfully by precipitation polymerization in the absence of a stabilizing agent. The DVB concentration plays a pivotal role not only in the formation of the individually stable microspheres but also in the polymerization characteristics, including the particle size, the uniformity of size, the polymerization yield, and the thermal properties. The number-average diameter of the microspheres increased linearly, from 0.72 to 2.15 $\mu\textrm{m}$, and the particle size distribution became narrower, by elevating the uniformity from 1.35 to 1.12, as the DVB concentration increased from 20 to 75 mol%. In addition, the yield of the polymerization increased, from 73.4 to 98.6%, as the DVB concentration increased. Since the prepared particles possess fully crosslinked microstructures, no glass transition temperatures were observed, but all the samples prepared with DVB concentrations ranging from 20 to 75 mol% possess enhanced thermal properties. Based on the DSC and TGA data, the thermal stability of the mesospheres prepared by the precipitation polymerization is significantly improved as a result of crosslinking with DVB.

Lecture rooms are crowded with many attendees. Moreover, they rely significantly on the natural ventilation through windows for removing and controlling indoor contaminants such as CO₂. With the aim of broadening the understanding of the characteristics of natural ventilation phenomena in lecture rooms, the average individual CO₂ release rates of attendees were measured during the course of a lecture and compared with previously reported CO₂ release rates. In addition, the effects of natural ventilation through windows on the time-variant CO₂ concentrations in the center of the lecture room were measured and analyzed. Moreover, details about the overall and regional CO₂ concentrations, as well as the air flows in the lecture room, were simulated and analyzed with computational fluid dynamics software, Fluent 2020 R2. It was found that the average individual CO₂ release rates were slightly slower than previously reported rates. The local CO₂ concentrations in the lecture room for regions with a high density of attendees increased over a short period of time, although the natural ventilation was already started by opening the windows. The overall CO₂ concentration in the lecture room rapidly decreased in the early stage of ventilation, but declined very slowly after a longer period of ventilation time. Therefore, in order to enhance the efficiency of a lecture room's natural ventilation, it is recommended to homogeneously distribute the attendees in the lecture room, and to frequently open the windows for short periods of time.

In this study, removal characteristics of nitrogen oxides $(NO_x)$ from road transport by using peat as the packing media for biodegradation have been investigated in the long term. Physicochemical and biological treatment of peatmixed media eliminates any requirement to use chemical substances and also facilitates the biodegradable actions of microorganism. Safe biodegradation of pollutants, no need to apply additional microbes owing to their active growth, and no generation of secondary pollutants were found in this experiment. It was concluded that average removal efficiencies of nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide $(NO_2)$ were 80% and 97% respectively with respect to the linear velocity 35~40 mm/s and 0.3 ppm ozone concentration in the long period operation. Inflow concentration of nitric oxide over 0.05 ppm was suitable when pretreated with ozone. Non-ozone stage was performed with linear velocity 20~100 mm/s and then the average removal efficiency of nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide were 38% and 94% respectively. Other results showed that the apparent static pressure was raised with increases in applied water content and aerial velocity in mixed media during fan operation.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the emotional change of a driver according to the change of temperature, humidity, $CO_2$ gas concentration and $C_4H_{10}$ gas concentration in the automobile by electroencephalogram(EEG) spectrum analysis. The experiment was performed in an automobile simulated shielding room with healthy volunteers(age : 18-31, male : 14, female : 7). The subject's emotion at every different condition was indexed 11-point scale(+5 : most pleasant, -5 : least pleasant). The emotion index at each condition resulted in as follows; in temperature $1.00(23.5^{\circ}C)$, $-2.33(30.5^{\circ}C)$, in humidity 1.50(45%), -1.50(65%), in $CO_2$ gas concentration 0.67(500ppm), -0.57(6,000ppm), in $C_4H_{10}$ gas concentration -0.25(0ppm), -2.75(1,200ppm). From EEG spectrum analysis, the average mean power frequency(MPF) value at each different condition was shown as follows; in temperature $5.48(23.5^{\circ}C)$, $4.06(30.5^{\circ}C)$, in humidity 11.03(45%), 3.03(65%), in $CO_2$ gas concentration 7.16(500ppm), 6.38(6,000ppm), in $C_4H_{10}$ gas concentration 10.21(0ppm), 2.87(1,200ppm). When the environment became unpleasant to the subject, all of the obtained MPF values were decreased. It was found that there is close agreement between subjective evaluation by subject's scaling and objective evaluation by EEG spectrum analysis at different environment. These results indicated that the EEG spectrum analysis is a proper method to assess emotional response of a driver in the changing automobile environment.

본 시험은 기후변화의 영향과 관련하여 기온 및 $CO_2$ 농도 상승이 '후지'/M.9 사과나무의 광합성 및 과실품질에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 지난 4년(2009-2012)동안 시험이 이루어졌다. 처리구들은 'Ambient' (대기온도+대기 $CO_2$ 농도), 'High $CO_2$'(대기온도+상승 $CO_2$ 농도), 'High Temp'. (상승온도+대기 $CO_2$ 농도), 'High $CO_2$+High Temp'. (상승온도+상승 $CO_2$ 농도)이었다. 상승온도 처리구들은 대기온도보다 $4^{\circ}C$ 상승시켰고, 상승 $CO_2$ 농도 처리구들은 $700{\mu}mol{\cdot}mol^{-1}$로 유지하였다. 4년 동안 매년 처리기간은 4월말부터 11월초까지였다. $CO_2$ 상승은 기공전도도와 잎의 엽록체함량(SPAD 계량기 값)을 감소시켰으나, 광합성속도, 세포 내 $CO_2$ 농도(Ci) 및 잎의 전분함량은 증가시켰다. 수체생장에 있어, 기온 상승은 나무당 총 신초수와 총 신초생장량을 증가시켰으나, $CO_2$ 상승은 평균 신초장을 감소시켰다. 과실품질에 있어, $CO_2$ 상승은 착색, 가용성 고형물 함량, 및 에틸렌 발생량을 증진시켰다. 결론적으로, $CO_2$ 농도가 상승되면 생육초기에 사과나무의 광합성속도가 증가되었으나 생육후기에는 $CO_2$ 상승에 따른 광합성속도 증진 효과가 감소되었다. 반면에 기온 상승은 생육초기 광합성속도를 감소시켰으나 생육후기에 광합성속도를 증진시키는 경향이 있었다. $CO_2$와 기온의 동시 상승은 각 요인에 의한 광합성 감소 정도가 줄어드는 경향이 있었다.

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology has been suggested as an ultimate strategy for mitigating climate change. However, potential leakage of $CO_2$ from the CCS facilities could lead to serious damage to environment. Plants can be a bio-indicator for $CO_2$ leakage as a cost-effective way, although plants' responses vary with plant species. In this study, a greenhouse experiment was conducted to investigate the relation between the $CO_2$ tolerance of corn species and the initial physiological responses to the elevated soil $CO_2$ concentration. Treatment groups included CI (99.99% $CO_2$ gas injection) and BI (no gas injection). Mean soil $CO_2$ concentration for the CI treatment was 19.5~39.4%, and mean $O_2$ concentration was 6.6~18.4%. The soil gas concentrations in the BI treatment were at the ambient levels. In the CI treatment, chlorophyll content was not decreased until the $13^{th}$ day of the $CO_2$ injection. On the $15^{th}$ day, leaf starch content and stomatal conductance were increased by 89% and 25% in the CI treatment compared to the BI treatment, respectively. This might be due to the compensatory reaction of corn to avoid high soil $CO_2$ stress. However, the prolonged $CO_2$ injection decreased chlorophyll content after 13 days. After $CO_2$ injection, plant biomass was reduced by 25% in the CI treatment compared to the BI treatment. Due to the inhibited root growth, leaf phosphorous and potassium contents were decreased by 54% on average in the CI treatment. This study indicates that corn has a high tolerance to soil $CO_2$ concentration of 30% for 2 weeks by its compensatory reactions such as an maintenance of chlorophyll content and an increase in stomatal conductance.

Concentrations of the principal volatile organic compounds, such as benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, m,p,o-xylene, styrene, and chlorobenzene were measured at the solid waste treatment plants classified into four categories; municipal waste incinerator, municipal waste landfill site, industrial waste incinerator and industrial waste landfill site. The average concentration of VOCs in industrial waste treatment facilities was 33.43 ppb and was significantly higher than that measured at municipal waste treatment facilities (4.71 ppb). The average toluene concentrations measured at incinerators (13.05 ppb) were a little higher than those measured at landfill sites (11.54 ppb). The contribution of the waste treatment facilities to the concentration of benzene (0.35 ppb) and o-xylene (0.15 ppb) in the industrial area was relatively small. However, toluene measured in the industrial waste treatment facilities was the most abundant VOCs with the average concentration of 21.37 ppb. As a result of analyses of fingerprint, in cases of IISH and ILUS, a variety of compounds other than major VOCs were detected in high level. On the Pearson correlation analysis, the correlation was generally positive and some pairs of these VOCs were very strongly correlated (correlation coefficient > 0.75).

GOSAT 위성 신호와 한반도 서해안에 위치한 안면도 지상관측소 이산화탄소 관측값을 비교평가하는 연구를 수행하였다. GOSAT과 안면도 지상관측소의 관측값의 상관관계를 보여주는 $R^2$ 값은 0.49로 비교적 강한 양의 상관관계가 나타나고 있었다. 계절별 상관 분석 결과에서 여름과 가을($R^2=0.62$)에 강한 양의 상관계가가 나타나는 반면 봄과 겨울($R^2=0.37$)에는 보통의 양의 상관관계가 나타나 여름과 겨울이 좀 더 계절적으로 높은 상관계수를 보이고 있었다. 분석 기간(2009.6-2012.12) 중 GOSAT 이산화탄소 관측값이 지상관측소에 비해 다소 낮게 나타나고 있어 (평균 -6.31ppm), GOSAT 위성신호가 이산화탄소 농도를 지상관측소 측정 결과에 비해 과소평가하고 있음이 확인되었다. 이러한 분석 결과는 안면도와 제주 고산에 한정되어 있는 한반도의 이산화탄소 지상관측소의 시공간적 한계성을 극복할 수 있는 대안으로 GOSAT 위성의 활용가능성을 판단할 수 있는 근거가 될 수 있을 것이다.
