Background: Several previous studies have shown that commuting is a source of stress for undergraduate students. However, few studies have investigated the effect of commuting on academic stress among undergraduate students, and there has been little awareness of the environmental impact of commuting. Objectives: To evaluate the associations between commute type and/or time and academic stress among undergraduate students in South Korea, focusing on environmental sustainability. Methods: We conducted an online survey and obtained information on commute types, commute times, and academic stress from 510 undergraduate students aged ≥19 years. Academic stress was comprised of five sub-categories of stress, and total academic stress ranged from 5 to 25 points. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to analyze the associations between commute type and commute time and academic stress. Furthermore, the students were grouped into 21 categories based on their transportation mode for commuting. CO₂ emission factors per each commuting category were calculated using the transportation type's CO₂ emission data from previous studies. Spearman's correlation analysis was used to confirm the correlation between CO₂ emission factors and total academic stress. Results: Students using home-to-school transportation without transfers (vs. walking) showed a significantly higher total academic stress of 2.19 points (95% CI: 0.58, 3.80). In contrast, students using school-to-home transportation without transfers (vs. walking) showed a significantly lower total academic stress of 1.96 points (95% CI: -3.55, -0.38). Moreover, students using transportation with lower CO₂ emission factors had lower academic stress scores (home-to-school: correlation coefficient = 0.507, p<0.001; school-to-home: correlation coefficient = 0.491, p<0.001). Conclusions: Our findings suggest that both commute type and time are significantly associated with academic stress among South Korean undergraduate students. When students select environmentally-friendly transportation, they may not only improve their mental health but also improve climate resilience.

시멘트는 대표적인 이산화 탄소 배출 산업이다. 에너지 소비와 CO₂ 배출 저감을 위해 제조 공정 개선 및 대체 재료의 사용확대가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구는 CO₂ 흡착형 재료인 CAF을 저온 소성하여 시멘트에 적용하여 시멘트 수화의 기본 특성을 확인하였다. 합성 CAF의 수화 생성물에 대한 결정상 분석과 공극 분포, 그리고 구조 이미지를 확인하고, 압축강도를 측정하였다. SCAF는 치환율은 10, 20, 100 %으로 하였으며, 치환율의 증가에 따라 압축강도는 저하되는 경향을 보인다. 또한, SCAF 치환율 100%인 경우, 초기 재령의 수화 생성물은 calcium aluminum oxide hydrate (Ca₃Al₂O₆·xH₂O)와 calcium iron hydroxide (Ca₃Fe(OH)₁₂)이며, 치환율 10, 20 %에서는 일반적인 시멘트 수화물 외에 CAF 화합물인 Brownmillerite가 관찰되었다. 또한, 공극율은 치환율의 증가에 따라 공극 크기가 크고 공극율이 높았다. 본 연구 결과 저온 소성으로 제조된 CAF는 CO₂ 흡착형 재료로 활용을 위해 단독 사용 및 일반 양생은 어려울 것으로 보인다.

The purpose of the study is to propose the concrete and realistic alternative measures for $CO_2$ emission reduction on commercial sector. To achieve the purpose, this study adopted AIM/KOREA simulation model modified from AIM(Asia-Pacific Integrated Model) originally developed by Japan National Environmental Research Institute. The results of simulation demonstrate that the $CO_2$ emission from the commercial sector in 1995 was estimated 864 million TC(tons of carbon); however, according to the base scenario, $CO_2$ emission in 2020 is expected to be increased to 1,872 million TC, which is 2.17 times greater than that in 1995. In order to mitigate the ever-increasing $CO_2$ emission, the results of AIM/KOREA simulations under various scenarios showed that the 30-thousand-won carbon tax scenario does not successfully motivate the selection of advanced technology; however, with the 300-thousand-won carbon tax, a substantial amount of $CO_2$ emission reduction by 1.69 million TC from the BaU((Business-as-Usual)scenario is expected to be achieved by year 2020. Such substantial reduction of $CO_2$ emission under the 300-thoudsand-won carbon tax scenario is due to the introduction of advanced technology, such as use of condensing boilers, forced by heavier carbon tax. Under the scenario that presumes the maximum introduction of gas-burning industrial appliances, an 2.66 million TC of $CO_2$ reduction was expected. The results of this study suggest that the $CO_2$ emission reduction measures can be interpreted in many different views. However, if people and industries are fully aware of the economic benefit of energy saving, a certain level of $CO_2$ reduction by a successful introduction of advanced energy saving technology appears to be achieved without carbon tax or subsidies.

This paper deals with the evaluation of environmental impact of rail and road transport in South Korea. A framework of energy input-output analysis is employed to estimate the total energy consumption and $CO_2$ emission in acquiring and using a life cycle of passenger and freight transport activity. The reliability of $CO_2$ emission based on uncertainty values is assessed by means of a Monte Carlo simulation. The results show that on a passenger-kilometers basis, passenger roads have life cycle emissions about 1.5 times those of rail, while that ratio is ten times greater when the scope of evaluation regards the tailpipe. In the case of freight transport, on a million ton-kilometers basis, the value for road mode is estimated to be about three times compared to those of rail mode. The results also show that the main contribution of $CO_2$ emission for road transport is the operation stage, accounting for 70%; however, the main contribution for rail transport is the construction and supply chain stage, accounting for over 50% emission.

$Eu^{2+}$ and $Dy^{3+}$ co-doped strontium aluminate, $SrAl_2O_4$ long phosphorescent phoshor was fabricated and its photoluminescence was characterized. The phosphor, $SrAl_2O_4:Eu^{2+},Dy^{3+}$ was synthesized by a coprecipitation in which metal salts of $Sr(NO_3)_2$, $Al(NO_3)_3{\cdot}9H_2O$, were dissolved in $(NH_4)_2CO_3$ solution with adding $Eu(NO_3)_3{\cdot}5H_2O$ and $Dy(NO_3)_3{\cdot}5H_2O$ as a activator and co-activator, respectively. The coprecipitated products were separated from solution, washed, and dried in a vacuum dry oven. The dried powders were then mixed with 3 wt% $B_2O_3$ as a flux and heated at $800{\sim}1400^{\circ}C$ for 3 h under the reducing ambient atmosphere of 95%Ar+$5%H_2$ gases. For the synthesized $SrAl_2O_4:Eu^{2+},Dy^{3+}$, properties of photoluminescence such as emission, excitation and decay time were examined. The emission intensity increased as the annealing temperature increased and showed a maximum peak intensity at 510 nm with a broad band from $400{\sim}650\;nm$. Monitored at 520 nm, the excitation spectrum showed a maximum peak intensity at $315{\sim}320\;nm$ wavelength with a broad band from $200{\sim}500\;nm$ wavelength. The decay time of $SrAl_2O_4:Eu^{2+},Dy^{3+}$ increased as the annealing temperature increased.

In order to photocatalytically treat organic matter (COD_Cr) and chromaticity effectively, chemical coagulation and sedimentation processes were employed as a pretreatment of the leachate produced from landfill in Jeju Island. This was performed using FeCl₃·6H₂O as a coagulant. For the treated leachate, UV/TiO₂ and UV/TiO₂/H₂O₂ systems were investigated, using 4 types of UV lamps, including an ozone lamp (24 W), TiO₂ as a photocatalyst, and/or H₂O₂ as an initiator or inhibitor for photocatalytic degradation. In the chemical coagulation and sedimentation process using FeCl₃·6H₂O, optimum removal was achieved with an initial pH of 6, and a coagulant dosage of 2.0 g/L, culminating in the removal of 40% COD_Cr and 81% chromaticity. For the UV/TiO₂ system utilizing an ozone lamp and 3 g/L of TiO₂, the optimum condition was obtained at pH 5. However, the treated COD_Cr and chromaticity did not meet the emission standards (COD_Cr: 400 mg/L, chromaticity: 200 degrees) in a clean area. However, for a UV/TiO₂/H₂O₂ system using 1.54 g/L of H₂O₂ in addition to the above optimum UV/TiO₂ system, the results were 395 mg/L and 160 degrees, respectively, which were within the emission standard limits. The effect of the UV lamp on the removal of COD_Cr, and chromaticity of the leachate decreased in the order of ozone (24 W) lamp > 254 nm (24 W) lamp > ozone (14 W) lamp > 254 nm (14 W) lamp. Only COD_Cr and chromaticity treated with the ozone (24 W) lamp met the emission standards.
