The shape of a galaxy's spectral energy distribution ranging from ultraviolet (UV) to infrared (IR) wavelengths provides crucial information about the underlying stellar populations, metal contents, and star-formation history. Therefore, analysis of the SED is the main means through which astronomers study distant galaxies. However, interstellar dust absorbs and scatters UV and optical light, re-emitting the absorbed energy in the mid-IR and Far-IR. I present the updated 3D Monte-Carlo radaitive transfer code MoCafe to compute the radiative transfer of stellar, dust emission through a dusty medium. The code calculates the emission expected from dust not only in pure thermal equilibrium state but also in non-thermal equilibrium state. The stochastic heating of very small dust grains and/or PAHs is calculated by solving the transition probability matrix equation between different vibrational, internal energy states. The calculation of stochastic heating is computationally expensive. A pilot study of radiative transfer models of SEDs in clumpy (turbulent), galactic environments, which has been successfully used to understand the Calzetti attenuation curves in Seon & Draine (2016), is also presented.

In this study, the composition and morphology of deposited dust particles with size ranging from a few to tens ㎛ were investigated using SEM/EDX (scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive x-ray spectrometer). Then deposited dust particles were classified into 8 groups: quartz, aluminosilicates, ca-rich, Fe/Ti oxide, carbon-rich, industrial particle, Fe-rich, and biogenic particle. The sources of deposited dust were high in the order of aluminosilicates 41% > biogenic 18% > Fe-rich 11% > quartz and C-rich 8% > industrial 7% > Fe/Ti oxide 5% > Ca-rich 1%. In particular, the ratio of biogenic particles was relatively high due to influence of pollen. The ratio of carbon-rich was 11% at YM site, 10% at MD site, and 4% at MO site, and the site close to the large emission source was high.

The use of smart equipment such as drones is increasing in construction sites. In particular, there are frequent cases where two or more drones must be used at the same time. This leads to different considerations than when operating a single unit. This study aims to analyze the requirements to be considered in the case of the operation of drones that monitor fine dust and drones that reduce fine dust in order to reduce fine dust generated in construction sites.

Glassy specimen was obtained by melting and quenching a borosilicate glass frit miked with $10{\sim}80wt%$ EAF dust. The glass transition temperature, $T_g$ of glassy specimen was measured around $550^{\circ}C$ from the DTA curve and the eat treatment condition to crystallize a glassy specimen was selected as $700^{\circ}C$/1 hr. The spinel crystal peaks were found in XRD analysis for the glass containing dust > 70 wt%. For the glass-ceramics, however, the spinel peaks in a specimen containing dust > 40 wt%, and the spinel and willemite peaks in dust > 80 wt%. The crystals of several tens of nanometer with aspect ratio of $0.7{\sim}1.0$ were observed at a glassy specimen containing dust > 40 wt% by SEM which was not found by XRD analysis. For the glass-ceramics, the crystals were found in a specimen containing dust of even 10 wt% by SEM. The feature and distribution of crystals observed through the specimen for a glass-ceramics were diverse and not uniform. The crystals found in the glass-ceramics containing 70 wt% dust were hexahedral with an aspect ratio of around unity.

This study analyzed the influence of domestic and Chinese factors on fine dust(PM10 & PM2.5) in Korea by using the panel quantile regression. Daily analysis was conducted for 11 regions in Korea. For domestic factors, electricity demand and traffic volume, and for Chinese factors, interaction term of Chinese three cities' fine dust and the domestic west wind are used. As a result, the influence of domestic factors was different when the domestic fine dust concentration was high and low. When the fine dust concentration was low, electricity demand had a positive effect only on PM2.5, and didn't affect PM10 in the national analysis. In regional analysis, the amount of electricity demand had a significant effect on fine dust and ultrafine dust only in the capital area and Chungcheong. Electricity demand was found to significantly increase both PM2.5 and PM10 when it was high. On the other hand, it was confirmed that the Chinese factor always had a significant effect regardless of the concentration of PM10 and PM2.5. Therefore, in order to solve the problem of high concentration of fine dust, in addition to international cooperation, the reduction of PM2.5 generated by domestic thermal power generation should also be strengthened compared to the present.

Purpose: Even if a damage is applied to the dust of the construction site containing the first-class carcinogen, it is dismissed or 5~30% of the amount of noise damage compensation is paid., Because of such loopholes, some construction companies are neglecting the dust management of the construction site, and the damage of the workers and the residents in the construction site continues. Method: The purpose of this study is to examine the problems of the calculation criteria of damage compensation amount of construction site dust, the measurement of dust concentration, the analysis of measurement data (the data of electric signboard measuring device by the mining scattering method), the prediction and evaluation methods such as modeling, and to suggest improvement measures. Result: It is found that it is impossible to calculate the amount of damages from dust damage in the construction site by calculating the current dust damage compensation amount and dust concentration modeling and measurement. Conclusion: It will receive an application for compensation for damage within the site where damage is expected (about 100m in the straight line and the boundary line of the site), and present a method of calculating the amount of compensation that differentially evaluates dust damage to the degree of dust management and compliance with dust-related legal standards.

The objective of this study is to develop the water spraying which can effectively by applied to the control or suppression of the fugitive dust generated from the scrap metal handling area at the Port of Inchon. As a first step toward this goal, we carried out some preliminary analyses on the chemical composition, physical shape, and particle size distribution of the sample dust. Next, to quantitatively investigate the effect of adding surfactants to the spraying water on the wettability of the sample dust, the Standard Sink Test was carried out for four different surfactants and at six different concentrations using the surfactants considered in this study. Results of from the preliminary analysis indicated that the main chemical component consisting of the sample dust is Goethite(FeO(OH)) and that the particles smaller than 10 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in geometric diameter occupy about 36% of the sample dust in mass. This result implies that the fugitive dust generated from the scrap metal handling area at the Port of Inchon should affect the environment nearby more than we have expected. This is because of relatively large mass percentage of the small metal particles less than 10${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in geometric diameter, what we may call respirable particles. As for the results of the Standard Sink Test, higher surfactant concentration tends to result in the higher wettability of the sample dust for the surfactants considered in this study, which in turn ensures the high particle collection efficiency of the droplets generated from the water spraying system. Based upon this preliminary results, studies to develop more sophisticated scaled model for dynamic test in underway and the effort to find the best surfactants as well as the optimum operating conditions are being made at the same time.

We had investigated combustion pro야$\pi$ies of rice bran dusts. Decomposition of rice bran d dusts with temperature were investigated using DSC and the weight loss according to t temperature using TGA in order to find the thermal hazard of rice bran dusts, and the p properties of dust explosion in variation of their dust with the same particle size. Using H Hartman's dust explosion apparatus which estimate dust explosion by electric ignition after m making dust disperse by compressed air, dust explosion experiments have been conducted by v varying concen$\sigma$ation and size of rice br뻐 dust. According to the results for thermodynamic stability of rice bran dust, there are little change of initiation temperature of heat generation 때d heating value for used particle size. But i initiation temperature of heat generation decreased with high heating rate whereas d decomposition heat increased with particle size. Also, the explosion pressure was increased as t the ignition energy increased and average maximum explosion pressure was 13.5 kgv'cnt for 5 BJ/60 mesh and 1.5 뼈Ie미 dust concentration.

A study on fugitive dusts was conducted at Saemangeum reclaimed land located in Gim-je area. The monitoring result on the fugitive and suspended dust was significantly affected by the farming activities (harvesting and land cultivation) and vehicles passing nearby the measuring points. The concentration of the fugitive dust generated from the reclaimed land was reduced remarkably by the effect of halophyte present on the ground and the tide embankment. Comparing the data collected in 2006 and 2007, the concentrations of TSP and PM10 decreased by 47.4% and 29.5%, respectively. After harvesting operations at paddy field, TSP increased by 22% while PM10 increased by 54%. The concentration of a Cl- which is a representative ion of sea-salt decreased to about 35% in 2007 compared with 2006. This represents that the inside area change and plant covering rate affected on the decrease of fugitive dust. The correlation analysis for the compounds of topsoil at each measuring point shows that near the coastline is more comparable. The canopy of halophyte in the source area also increased which reduced the fugitive dust remarkably. The dust distribution measured by dust spectrometer at the same point shows that most particles are $0.5{\mu}m$ to 2um size but not greater than $5{\mu}m$.

Concerns regarding health problems due to fine dust have rapidly grown in Korea. However, studies on fine dust cognition, knowledge and attitudes were not performed actively. The purpose of this study is to examine college students' cognition, knowledge, and attitudes regarding fine dust in Korea, and to identify the relating factors including self efficacy on theses variables. This study was descriptive research, and 206 college students of 1 university were interviewed with a structured questionnaires. We found that the fine dust cognition score was the highest, and the knowledge and attitude scores were low among college student. According to the logistic regression analysis, grade, past respiratory disease, and self-efficacy were affecting fine dust cognition, and grade, self-efficacy were affecting fine dust knowledge. It is needed to provide educational program for college students to enhance the fine dust knowledge and attitude. It is necessary to include strategy increasing the self-efficacy to the education program.
