The study of carbonaceous aerosols in the atmosphere is critical to understand the role of aerosols in human health and climate. Using standardized thermal optical transmittance methods, organic carbon (OC), elemental carbon (EC), and water soluble organic carbon (WSOC) were determined using a combustion sampling system for four types of agricultural crop residues (rice straw, red pepper stems, soybean stems, and green perilla stems) and eight types of forest trees (pine stems, pine needles, ginkgo stems, ginkgo leaves, maple stems, maple leaves, cherry stems, and cherry leaves). The aerosol particles between 0.056 and $5.6{\mu}m$ in size were analyzed using a Micro-Orifice Uniform Deposit Impactor (MOUDI). In the current study, the Carbonaceous Thermal Distribution (CTD) by carbon analyzer was discussed in order to understand the carbon fractions from the twelve types of biomass burning. Also, the concentration of OC, EC, WSOC, and water insoluble organic carbon (WIOC) detected in the emissions were described.

Ground-based measurements were conducted from August 25 to September 8 of 2011 for understanding characteristics of carbonaceous aerosols measured at Gosan. Chemical components and their sources were discussed by analysis of organic compounds with identification of primary and secondary products in particulate matter. Thus, organic carbon (OC) and elemental carbon (EC) based on the carbonaceous thermal distribution (CTD), which provides detailed carbon signature characteristics relative to analytical temperature, was used to improve the carbon fractionation of the analytical method. In addition, organic compounds by gas chromatography technique with the backward trajectories were discussed for characteristics of carbonaceous aerosols. Different air-masses were classified related to the OC thermal signatures and the organic molecular markers such as aromatic acids and PAHs. We concluded that the aging process was influenced by the long-range transport from East Sea area.

Ground-based measurements were conducted from January 6 to 12 of 2015 for understanding characteristics of nitrogen containing carbonaceous aerosols as 16 amino acids at the Mokpo National University, Korea. The detailed amino acid components such as Cystine ($(SCH_2CH(NH_2)CO_2H)_2$) and Methionine ($C_5H_{11}NO_2S$) and their sources were analyzed by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography with Fluorescence Detection (HPLC-FLD) for behavior of secondary products in particulate matter. In addition, organic carbon (OC) and elemental carbon (EC) based on the carbonaceous thermal distribution (CTD), which provides detailed carbon signature characteristics relative to analytical temperature, and water soluble organic carbon (WSOC) by total organic carbon (TOC) analyzer were used to understand the carbon compound behaviors. The backward trajectories were discussed for originations of carbonaceous aerosols as well. Different airmasses were classified with the amino acids and OC thermal signatures. The results can provide to understand the aging process influenced by the long-range transport from East Sea area.

To assess environmental contamination with carcinogens, carbonaceous compounds, water-soluble ionic species and trace gaseous species were identified and quantified every three hours for three days st three different atmospheric layer at the heart of chiang-Mai, bangkok and hat-Yai from December 2006 to February 2007. A DRI model 2001 Themal/Optical Carbon Analyzer with the IMPROVE thermal/optical reflectance (TOR) protocol was used to quantify the organic carbon(OC) and elemental carbon content in $PM_{10}$. Diurnal and vertical variability was also carefully investigated. In general, OC and EC contenttration shoeed the highest values at the monitoring period o 21.00-00.00 as consequences of human activities at night bazaar coupled with reduction of mixing layer, decreased wind speed and termination of photolysis nighttime. Morning peaks of carboaceous compounds were observed during the sampling period of 06:00 -09:00, emphasizing the main contribution of traffic emission in the three cities. The estimation of incremental lifetime partculate matter exposure (ILPE) raises concern of high risk of carbonaceous accumulation over workers and residents living close to the observatory sites. The average values of incremental lifrtime particulate matter exposure (ILPE) of total carbon at Baiyoke Suit Hotel and Baiyoke Sky Hotel are approsimately ten time shigher then those air sample collected at prince of songkla University Hat-Yai campus corpse incinerator and fish-can maufacturing factory but only slightly higher than those of rice straw burnig in Songkla province. This indicates a high risk of developing lung cancer and other respiratory diseases across workers and residents living in high buildings located in Pratunam area. Using knowledge of carbonaceous fractions in $PM_{10}$, one can estimate the gas-particle partitioning of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Dachs-Eisenreich model highlights the crucial role of adsorption in gas-particle partitioning of low molecular weight PAHs, whereas both absorption and adsorption tend to account for gas-particle partitioning of high molecular weight PAHs in urban residential zones of Thailand. Interestingly, the absorption mode alone plays a minor role in gas-partcle partitiining of PAHs in Chiang-Mai, Bangkok and hat-Yai.

AKARI has 4 imaging bands in the far-infrared (FIR) and 9 imaging bands that cover the near-infrared (NIR) to mid-infrared (MIR) contiguously. The FIR bands probe the thermal emission from sub-micron dust grains, while the MIR bands observe emission from stochastically-heated very small grains and the unidentified infrared (UIR) band emissions from carbonaceous materials that contain aromatic and aliphatic bonds. The multi-band characteristics of the AKARI instruments are quite efficient to study the spectral energy distribution of the interstellar medium, which always shows multi-component nature, as well as its variations in the various environments. AKARI also has spectroscopic capabilities. In particular, one of the onboard instruments, Infrared Camera (IRC), can obtain a continuous spectrum from 2.5 to $13{\mu}m$ with the same slit. This allows us to make a comparative study of the UIR bands in the diffuse emission from the 3.3 to $11.3{\mu}m$ for the first time. The IRC explores high-sensitivity spectroscopy in the NIR, which enables the study of interstellar ices and the UIR band emission at $3.3-3.5{\mu}m$ in various objects. Particularly, the UIR bands in this spectral range contain unique information on the aromatic and aliphatic bonds in the band carriers. This presentation reviews the results of AKARI observations of the interstellar medium with an emphasis on the observations of the NIR spectroscopy.

옥천 변성대 서남부 화산지역과 중부 미원-증평지역 52개의 변성이질-사질암과 5개의 화강암류에 있는 흑운모와 백운모로부터 K-Ar과 $^{40}$ Ar/$^{39}$ Ar 연대를 구하였다. 서남부 화산지역 보은과 피반령의 2개의 지구조 단위에서 채취한 변성이질-사질암류로부터 구한 흑운모와 백운모 K-Ar과 $^{40}$ Ar/$^{39}$ Ar 연대는 149-180Ma이다 미원-증평지역의 보은과 피반령의 2개의 지구조 단위에서 채취한 변성이질-사질암류로부터 구한 흑운모와 백운모 K-Ar 연대는 서남부 화산지역에 비해 복잡한 연대분포를 보이는데 백악기 화강암체 주위의 102-105 Ma를 제외하고 142-194Ma(쥬라기), 216-234Ma(삼첩기후기-중기) 및 241-277 Ma(삼첩기초기-페름기 중기)의 범위이다. 하지만 삼첩기부터 페름기까지 연대범위는 보은 단위 북부와 피반령 단위 남부, 즉 증평지역의 옥천변성대 중앙부에서만 구해지며 다른 지역의 연대들은 쥬라기중기에 집중된다. 서남부 화산지역 및 중부 미원-증평지역의 화강암류의 K-Ar과 $^{40}$ Ar/$^{39}$ Ar 흑운모와 백운모 연대들은 쥬라기중기로 이들은 변성퇴적암으로부터 얻어진 쥬라기중기의 $^{40}$ Ar/$^{39}$ Ar과 K-Ar 흑운모와 백운모의 연대와 거의 일치하며 이는 두 암체가 동시에 냉각된 사실을 지시한다. 서남부 화산지역과 중부 미원-증평지역의 보은 단위 및 피반령 단위에서 분리된 탄질물의 $d_{002}$ 값은 모두 각섬암상 범위의 흑연화를 지시하는 3.353-3.359 $\AA$의 매우 좁은 범위에 집중된다. 변성광물군으로 볼 때 녹색편암상의 변성작용을 받은 화산지역의 보은 단위 남부에서도 각섬암상 이상의 고온을 지시하는 탄질물의 $d_{002}$ 값이 나타남은 이들 지역에서 흑운모와 백운모 K-Ar과 $^{40}$ Ar/$^{39}$ Ar 연대가 쥬라기중기에 집중되는 사실, 이들 지역들 내 광역적으로 관입한 화강암의 관입정치연대와 냉각연대가 쥬라기중기인 사실, 그리고 쥬라기 화강암 주변에 50$0^{\circ}C$ 이상의 저압형 변성대가 형성된 것은 광역적으로 변성광물을 형성한 주변성작용 이후 쥬라기초기(\ulcorner)-증기에 일어난 저압형의 광역적 열변성작용을 강하게 뒷받침한다. 하지만 광역적 열변성작용에 의한 변성광물변화는 화강암접촉부 1-2km 내에서만 인지되며 이는 화강암의 빠른 냉각에 의해 1-2km 밖의 광물군이 변화될 만큼 충분한 기간동안 열이 공급되지 못하였음을 지시한다. 한편, 옥천변성대 증평지역 중망부의 변성이질-사질암으로부터 측정된 흑운모와 백운모 K-Ar과 $^{40}$ Ar/$^{39}$ Ar 연대는 최근에 이들 지역에서 보고된 중압형의 주 광역변성작용시기인 석탄기후기-폐름기초기 이후의 냉각역사들을 잘 대변한다. 특히 옥천변성대 중부 증평지역의 중앙부에서 5개 시료에 대해 구한 흑운모와 백운모 K-Ar 연대인 241-249 Ma와 263-277 Ma는 석탄기후기-폐름기초기 (ca. 280-300 Ma) 옥천변성대의 주변성시기 이후 280-300 Ma부터 263-277 Ma 사이에서 약 3$50^{\circ}C$까지의 빠른 냉각과 263-277 Ma부터 241-249 Ma 사이에서 약 30$0^{\circ}C$까지의 느린 냉각을 지시한다 하지만 왜 삼첩기-폐름기의 연대가 증평지역의 중앙부에만 국한되어 나타나는지에 대한 좀 더 자세한 연구가 필요하다.요하다.
