The purpose of this study were to identify seasons variation of house dust mites allergen and perceived allergic symptom. The subjects were consisted of 29 family with allergy patients and 34 family without allergy patients. Perceived allergic symptoms were accessed and house dust was sampled from beds, floor of bedroom, kitchen and livingroom in spring(August), summer (July), fall(October) and winter(January) and tested using two-site ELISA. The results were as follows; 1) In all family, amount of house dust mites allergen(Der fI) of livingroom floor was the highest in summer$(4.73{\mu}g/1g\;of\;dust)$, and then fall$4.67{\mu}g/1g\;of\;dust)$, winter$(3.94{\mu}g/1g\;of\;dust)$, spring$(1.73{\mu}g/1g\;of\;dust)$. 2) In family with allergy patients, amount of house dust mites allergen(Der fI) of bedroom floor was highest in fall $(9.75{\mu}g/1g\;of\;dust)$. 3) In family with allergy patients, amount of house dust mites allergen(Der fI) of mattress was highest in fall$(8.23{\mu}g/1g\;of\;dust)$. 4) Perceived allergic symptom scores of family with allergy patients were higher than family without allergy patients in all seasons. In family without allergy patients, perceived allergic symptom scores was the highest in spring(4.29) and perceived allergic symptom scores of family with patients was the highest in winter(2.49). 5) The relationship of house dust mites allergen and perceived allergic symptom scores were positively related (r=.941, p=.000). Perceived allergic symptoms were correlated with amount of house dust mites allergen, That is, perceived allergic symptoms were became worse by house dust mites allergen. So House dust mites allergen reducing strategies and intervention should be recommended in further study.

EAF dust 처리를 위해 RAPID system으로 명명된 Extended Arc Plasma Furnace 공정개발의 기초자료를 확보하기 위해서 EAF dust 처리공정의 초기반응 단계에서 코크스에 의한 EAF dust의 고욘열적거동을 조사하였다. 실험조건은 반응기내의 온도를 1000, 1100, 1200 및 130$0^{\circ}C$로 변화시키고, 각각의 반응온도에 대해서 반응시간이 3, 5, 8 및 12분인 경우에 석회석의 소성, EAF dust 자체의 열분해, EAF dust 혼합시료의 환원 및 휘발거동을 파악하였다. RAPID system에서 EAF dust의 용융 및 환원에 적합한 탄소환원 당량 180%와 염기도 1.7를 고려하여 혼합시료(EAF dust: 코크스 : 석회석=80:10:10 wt%)를 제조하였으며, 각 시료의 크기는 약 0.1mm 이하로써 입도분포는 200 mesh 이하가 80%를 나타내고 있다. 석회석의 소성은 $1100^{\circ}C$이상에서 3분이내에 완결되었으며, EAF dust 자체를 열분해시켰을 경우 $1300^{\circ}C$ 및 12분인 경우에 약 14%의 무게감량이 일어났고, 일부 입자들의 부분적인 소결 및 용융현상이 관찰되었다. EAF dust 혼합시료는 초기 반응단계에서 반응온도 및 반응시간이 증가함에 따라서 무게 감량폭이 더 증가하였으며, $1300^{\circ}C$ 및 12분인 경우에 46%이 무게감량이 일어났다 이와 같이 EAF dust의 휘발 및 환원 거동에 관련된 무게감량 정보는 공정내에서 EAF dust의 처리시간을 결정하여 주고 궁극적으로 대용량의 전기로 분진처리 공정 설계시 전기로 분진의 처리량을 결정하는 주요인자중의 하나로써 사용될 수 있다.

Occupational exposure to silicon carbide dust of manufacturing industries has seldom been evaluated in Korea. Accordingly, we evaluated various silicon carbide dust concentrations in the breathing zone of workers between May 2010 and July 2010. To compare silicon carbide dust concentrations, three dust samplers including the Institute of Occupational Medicine (IOM) sampler, 37mm cassette sampler, and Aluminum cyclone sampler were used. A total of 5 manufacturing industries producing abrasive and refractory materials using silicon carbide were investigated. The geometric mean concentrations were 2.04, 0.97, and $0.48mg/m^3$ in inhalable, total and respirable silicon carbide dust, respectively. The geometric mean concentrations of silicon carbide in abrasive material manufacturing industries were slightly higher than that of refractory manufacturing industries, and finishing operations were higher than that of other operations. It was found that the results of exposure assessment in airborne dust at manufacturing industries using silicon carbide in Korea showed exceeding rate to American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists Threshold Limit Value ($3mg/m^3$) was 10% in respirable dust samples. Therefore, with the consideration of the close relationship between smaller dust size and the occurrence of occupational respiratory diseases, it is suggested to promulgate the new occupational exposure limit for respirable silicon carbide dust.

The particle depolarization ratios were retrieved from the observation with a multi-wavelength Raman lidar at Gwangju, Korea ($35.11^{\circ}N$, $126.54^{\circ}E$). The measurements were carried out on 24 February and 9 March 2004. Using the particle depolarization ratios, the non-dust aerosol particles were distinguished from the Asian dust plume, and the proportion of the non-dust particle to total dust plume was retrieved. The calculated proportion of the non-dust particle was used for the retrieval of backscatter coefficients at 355, 532, and 1064 nm and extinction coefficients at 355 and 532 nm of non-dust particles in the dust plume. Microphysical parameters of non-dust particles including single-scattering albedo at 532 nm were retrieved using retrieved optical values. The retrieved single-scattering albedo of non-dust particles was 0.92~0.95 below 1 km height and 0.82~0.91 above 1 km height on 24 February 2004 and $0.81{\pm}0.03$ on 9 March 2004.

The primary goal was to assess how the addition of cement dust, a byproduct known to be harmful, could be used to stabilize clay. Various percentages of cement dust were added to soil samples, which were then subjected to triaxial testing at different rates of strain using an unconsolidated undrained triaxial machine. Six different rates of strain were applied to analyze the response of the clay under different conditions, resulting in 216 triaxial sample tests. As the percentage of cement dust in the clay samples increased, there was a noticeable increase in the strength properties of the clay, indicating a positive effect of cement dust on the clay's strength characteristics. Higher rates of strain during testing led to increased strength properties of the clay. Varying cement dust content influenced the impact of increasing the rate of strain on the clay's strength properties. Higher cement dust content reduced the sensitivity of the clay to changes in strain rate, indicating that the clay became less responsive to changes in strain rate as cement dust content increased. Potential for Clay Stabilization Cement dust proved the potential to enhance the strength properties of clay, indicating its potential utility in clay stabilization applications. Both higher percentages of cement dust and higher rates of strain were found to increase the clay's strength. It's essential to consider both the percentage of cement dust and the rate of strain when assessing the strength properties of clay in practical applications.

본 연구는 시멘트 제조 시 발생하는 CBS-dust의 새로운 활용방법을 모색하고자 일련의 연구를 진행하는데, CBS-dust의 공학적 특성 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 먼저, 굳지 않은 모르타르의 경우 CBS-dust 치환율이 증가할수록 플로는 감소하였으나, 결합재 조성비 BS 45% 및 65%의 경우는 CBS-dust 5% 치환 시 Plain보다 높은 유동성을 발휘하는 것으로 나타났다. 공기량의 경우는 전반적으로 CBS-dust 치환율과 비례적인 경향을 나타내며, 염화물은 CBS-dust 치환하지 않은 경우를 제외하고 모든 치환율에서 기준치를 상회하는 경향을 보였다. 경화모르타르의 압축강도는 전반적으로 CBS-dust를 5%~10% 내외 치환시 강도가 증진되는 결과를 보이며, 미세구조분석을 통하여 CBS-dust 치환시 수화반응이 촉진되어 C-S-H gel 생성 및 구조형성을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서, CBS-dust를 철근이 없는 혼화재를 다량 사용하는 콘크리트 2차 제품에서 조강성 혼화재로 사용한다면, 알칼리 자극제로 콘크리트의 강도증진 등에 효과적인 활용법이 될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

$Fe_2O_3$, ZnO 등이 주성분인 EAF dust를 $30{\sim}70\;wt%$ 첨가한 규산염계 유리 및 결정화유리를 제조하고, 시편내부에 생성된 상 및 미세구조와 물리적 특성과의 관계를 고찰하였다. 또한 제조된 유리와 결정화유리의 결정화 거동을 상분석 및 미세구조 관찰을 통하여 분석하였다. EAF dust가 30 wt% 첨가된 용융체의 경우 전형적인 비정질 XRD 패턴을 나타냈으며, 그 이상 첨가된 용융체에는 미용해 된 결정상이 일부 존재하였다. 모든 결정화유리에서는 franklinite, willemite 그리고 augite 결정상이 형성되었다. 결정화유리의 비중은 같은 조성의 유리에 비하여 높았고, EAF dust 함량에 따라 함께 증가하였다. 또한 결정화 유리의 열적 및 기계적 특성이 유리보다 우수하게 나타났다. 즉 유리는 EAF dust 첨가량과 함께 열팽창 계수가 증가하였으나 결정화유리에서는 반대로 감소하였다. 또한 EAF dust 첨가량에 따라 비커스 경도는 유리 및 결정화유리 모두 증가되었으며 같은 조성에서 결정화 유리의 경도값이 항상 더 높게 나타났다.

The aerosol number concentration have measured with an aerodynamic particle sizer spectrometer(APS) at Gosan in Jeju Island, which is known as background area in Korea, from March 2010 to February 2011. The obtained results of asian dust events and non-asian dust period have been compared. The results show that the entire averaged aerosol number concentration from APS measurement during asian dust events and non-asian dust period are about 341 particles/$cm^3$ and 240 particles/$cm^3$, respectively. During asian dust events, the number concentration in small size ranges(${\leq}0.4{\mu}m$) are similar to non-asian dust period, however, those in large size ranges(${\geq}0.7{\mu}m$) are very higher than non-asian dust period. The contributions of the size resolved number concentration(23 channel in $0.25{\sim}10.0{\mu}m$) to total number concentration in that range are dramatically decreased with increased particle size. The contributions of smaller size ranges(${\leq}0.4{\mu}m$) during asian dust events are very low compared with non-asian dust period, on the other hand, those of larger size ranges(${\geq}0.4{\mu}m$) are higher than non-asian dust period. The number concentration in each size range are strongly correlated with the concentration in adjacent size range. And the total aerosol number concentration are depended on the number concentration in range of smaller than $0.58{\mu}m$ during non-asian dust period and asian dust events. On the other hand, $PM_{10}$ mass concentration has mainly affected with the number concentration in range of smaller than $1.0{\mu}m$ during non-asian dust period, however, during asian dust events, the mass concentration has mainly affected with the number concentration in range of $0.65{\sim}3.0{\mu}m$.

Objective: Bacterial abundance and community compositions have been examined in Asian dust events, clarifying their impacts on public health. This study aims to determine the bacterial community compositions and viable bacteria in Asian dust particles in the Asian dust or non-Asian dust event of March 2016. Methods: The dust samples were collected using the high volume air sampler or high volume cascade impactor, and bacterial 16S rRNA genes were amplified using PCR, followed by pyrosequencing. Bacterial diversity index, richness estimate and community composition in the particles were analyzed from the sequencing data using Mothur software. Results: The results showed that the diversity and richness during Asian dust events were higher than them in non-Asian dust events. The total bacterial community analysis showed that at the phylum Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria and Firmicutes were the most dominant of Asian dust events and non-Asian dust events. In addition, the bacterial colony counts were higher during Asian dust event, comparing with non-Asian dust event. Conclusions: This study showed that bacterial community and richness of Asian dust samples was more complex and higher than non-Asian dust samples in Gyeonggi-do, Korea, which could affect public health and environment. Thus, the continuous monitoring of Asian dust could be an alternative for managing airborne bacteria.
