본 연구에서는 국지예보시스템(LDAPS)과 전산유체역학(CFD) 모델을 접합하여, 부산 중구 광복동에 소재한 건물 밀집 지역의 상세 흐름을 조사하였다. 도시 지역 기상에 대한 보다 현실적인 수치 모의를 위해 기상청이 현업으로 운용하는 LDAPS 결과로부터 기상 요소(풍향, 풍속, 온위)를 추출하여 CFD 모델의 초기·경계장으로 사용하였다. LDAPS로부터 추출한 기상 요소(U, V)는 공간 선형 보간법을 이용하여 CFD 모델의 수평·연직 격자에 맞게 내삽하였고, 공간 선형 보간법을 이용해 내삽한 온위는 CFD 모델의 각 격자점에서 온도로 변환된다. 본 연구에서는 건물 옥상에서 측정한 3차원 초음파 풍향·풍속계에서 측정한 풍속과 풍향을 이용하여 수치 모의 결과를 검증하였다. 대상 기간(2020년 6월 22일) 동안 측정 지점(PKNU-SONIC)에서는 바람이 약하게 나타났고, 새벽 시간에는 북동풍과 북서풍이 불었으며, 주간에는 주로 남동풍이 불었다. LDAPS-CFD 접합 모델은 측정 풍향과 풍속을 유사하게 수치 모의하였다. 07시에는 동북동쪽에서 유입되는 흐름이 지형과 건물에 의해 변화하였고, PKNU-SONIC 지점에서 수치 모의된 풍향(동남동풍)은 측정 풍향과 유사하다. 19시에는 남동쪽에서 유입되는 흐름이 PKNU-SONIC 지점까지 유입되어 측정 풍향과 유사하게 모의하였다.

직경이 10 ㎛ 미만의 미세먼지 입자(particulate matter 10, PM10)는 한국을 비롯한 동아시아 지역에서 해로운 대기오염의 주요한 원인 중 하나로 최근 주목받고 있으며, 호흡기와 피부에 유해한 영향을 미치는 주범이 되고 있다. FD는 대식세포에서 활성산소 종(ROS)의 생성과 염증반응을 과도하게 촉진시켜 세포 손상과 더불어 세포 사멸을 유도한다. 장미속의 낙엽관목인 해당화(Rosa rugosa)는 다양한 질병을 치료하는 목적으로 예부터 동아시아 지역에서 민간요법 치료제로써 사용되었다. 본 연구에서는 PM10으로 유도된 RAW 264.7 대식세포에서의 염증반응을 억제하는 해당화 각 기관별 추출물의 항염증 효과를 탐색하고자 한다. 미세먼지 입자가 처리되지 않은 RAW 264.7 대식세포와 비교했을 때, PM10을 100 ㎍/ml의 농도로 처리했을 경우 lipopolysaccharide 처리와 유사하게 nitric oxide (NO) 생성을 눈에 띄게 증가시켰다. 또한 100 ㎍/ml의 해당화 줄기 추출물은 미세먼지 입자 단독 처리군에 비해 NO 생성을 45% 이상 감소시켰고, PM10에 의해 유도된 interleukin(IL)-1β, IL-6, inducible nitric oxide synthase, and cyclooxygenase-2의 발현을 유의하게 감소시켰다. 이러한 결과는 해당화 줄기 추출물의 항염증 효과가 PM10으로 자극된 RAW 264.7 세포에서 염증 유발 매개체의 억제에 의해 매개됨을 나타내며, 해당화 줄기가 유해한 공기 중 미세먼지 입자에 의해 유발되는 염증반응에 대한 보호 효과가 있는 천연 자원으로서 가치가 있음을 시사한다.

BACKGROUND: Ammonia is known as a precursor to fine particulate matter, and according to CAPSS, annual ammonia emissions in the agricultural sector were 249,777 tons as of 2018, accounting for about 79.0% of Korea's total ammonia emissions. In particular, ammonia emissions from agricultural land increased by 19,566 tons (10.2%) compared to the previous year. The Ministry of Environment is setting emission statistics using the ammonia emission coefficient developed in Korea in 2008, but researchers in the agricultural field regard it as a coefficient that does not reflect the reality of Korea's agricultural environment. Accordingly, in order to develop ammonia emission coefficients from the cultivation of apples and pears, Korea's representative fruit type, test agricultural land was set in Iksan, Jeollabuk-do. METHODS AND RESULTS: This study attempted to obtain the ammonia emission coefficient by the treatment of the composite fertilizer (N-P₂O₅-K₂O=12-7-9), and the flux was measured using a dynamic flow-through chamber method. As for the chamber, a total of 12 chambers were installed repeatedly in 4 zones and used to develop emission coefficients. Using compound fertilizers during fruit tree cultivation, the ammonia emission coefficient was evaluated as 10.4 kg NH3/ton for pears and 15.3 kg NH₃/ton for apples. The reason why the ammonia emission coefficient according to the use of composite fertilizers was calculated higher for apple cultivation is believed to be due to the relatively high pH concentration of apple orchard soil. CONCLUSION(S): This study may provide basic data for upgrading the ammonia emission coefficient when using composite fertilizers in agricultural land. In the future, it might be necessary to upgrade the calculation of emissions through the development of ammonia and fine particulate matter emission coefficients considering the agricultural environment of Korea.

미세먼지(Particulate matter, PM)는 피부 장벽의 기능을 저하시키고 염증성 피부 질환 및 외인성 노화를 유발하는 대기 오염원이다. 본 연구에서는 대체 미세먼지로서 iron oxide black을 이용하여 화장품에 의한 미세먼지의 피부 부착 방지효과를 평가하였다. 미세먼지 부유챔버는 피부노출부위, 미세먼지 주입구, 부유동력장치, 배출구로 구성하여 미세먼지가 챔버내에서 부유 중 피부에 자연스럽게 부착될 수 있도록 제작하였다. 대체 미세먼지의 부유농도에 따른 피부 밝기 변화를 확인하여 최적의 부유농도 조건을 확인하였다. Iron oxide black의 피부부착 전·후의 밝기차이 (미세먼지 부착 전 밝기 - 미세먼지 부착 후 밝기, Δ)는 미세먼지의 양에 비례한다. 또한, 화장품 5종에 대하여 각각 20명의 피험자를 대상으로 제품 도포군과 무도포 대조군으로 나누어 부유 대체 미세먼지에 대한 피부부착 방지효과를 확인하였다. 피부에 부착된 iron oxide black의 전·후 밝기 차이를 계산하여 대조군과 비교분석하였다(p < 0.05). 시험에 최소 150 mg 이상의 iron oxide black을 사용할 때 농도에 따른 피부 밝기 변화 양상이 뚜렷하게 나타났다. 최적의 부유농도에서 피부와 대체미세먼지의 밝기 간섭이 적고 피부 부착 패턴이 선명하게 나타났다. 5종의 화장품을 피부에 도포할 경우 iron oxide black의 부착양이 대조군에 비해 통계적으로 유의하게 낮았다. 이는 제품에 따라 iron oxide black의 부착을 방지 함을 의미한다. 본 연구는 대체 미세먼지로서 iron oxide black의 피부 부착양상을 확인하고, 화장품에 의한 부착 방지효과를 평가하는 안전하고 유용한 방법이다. 화장품의 다양한 제형이나 원료의 특성에 따라 미세먼지가 피부에 부착되는 것을 방지할수 있음을 확인하였다.

This study was aimed to thoroughly estimate the characteristics of indoor particulate matter (PM) collected on subway platforms by the cooperative approach of semi-bulk and single particle analyses. The size-resolved PM and its number concentration were measured on the platform in a heavily traveled subway station in Fukuoka, Japan. Particle Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE) and micro-PIXE techniques were applied to the chemical analyses of semi-bulk and single particle, respectively. There was the close resemblance of timely fluctuation between PM number concentration and train service on the third basement floor (B3F) platform compared to the second basement floor (B2F) and its maximum level was marked in rush hour. Higher number counts in large particles ($>1{\mu}m$) and lower number counts in fine particles ($<1{\mu}m$) were shown on the platform compared to an above ground. PM2.5 accounted for 58.2% and 38.2 % of TSP on B3F and on B2F, respectively. The elements that were ranked at high concentration in size-resolved semi-bulk PM were Fe, Si, Ca, S, and Na. The major elements tending to have more elevated levels on B3F than B2F were Fe (4.4 times), Ca (17.3 times), and Si (46.4 times). Although concentrations were very low, Cr ($11.9ng\;m^{-3}$ on B3F, $2.4ng\;m^{-3}$ on B2F), Mn ($3.4ng\;m^{-3}$ on B3F, $0.9ng\;m^{-3}$ on B2F), and Pb ($0.6ng\;m^{-3}$ on B3F, $1.6ng\;m^{-3}$ on B2F) were detected from PM2.5. Individual PM was nearly all enriched in Fe with Si and Ca. Classifying and source profiling of the individual particles by elemental maps and particle morphology were tried and particles were presumably divided into four groups (i.e., train/rail friction, train-rail sparking, ballast/abrasive, and cement).

Particulate matter (PM) in the atmosphere has wide-ranging health, environmental, and climate effects, many of which are attributed to fine-mode secondary organic aerosols. PM concentrations are significantly enhanced by primary particle emissions from traffic sources. Recently, in order to reduce $CO_2$ and increase fuel economy, gasoline direct injected (GDI) engine technology is increasingly used in vehicle manufactures. The popularization of GDI technique has resulted in increasing of concerns on environmental protection. In order to better understand variations in chemical composition of particulate matter from emissions of GDI vehicle versus a port fuel injected (PFI) vehicle, a high time resolution chemical composition of PM emissions from GDI and PFI vehicles was measured at facility of Transport Pollution Research Center (TPRC), National Institute of Environmental Research (NIER), Korea. Continuous measurements of inorganic and organic species in PM were conducted using an Aerodyne high-resolution time-of-flight aerosol mass spectrometer (HR-ToF-AMS). The HR-ToF-AMS provides insight into non-refractory PM composition, including concentrations of nitrate, sulfate, hydrocarbon-like and oxygenated organic aerosol, and organic mass with 20 sec time resolution. Many cases of PM emissions during the study were dominated by organic and nitrate aerosol. An overview of observed PM characteristics will be provided along with an analysis of comparison of GDI vehicle versus PFI vehicle in PM emission rates and oxidation states.

This study observed particulate matter ($PM_{2.5}$ and $PM_{10}$) in the downtown area of Jeju City, South Korea, to understand the chemical composition of particulates based on an analysis of the water-soluble ionic species contained in the particles. The mass fraction of the ionic species in the sampled $PM_{10}$ and $PM_{2.5}$ was 44.3% and 42.2%, respectively. In contrast, in Daegu City and Suwon City, the mass fraction of the ionic species in $PM_{2.5}$ was higher than that in $PM_{10}$. The chloride depletion percentage of $PM_{10}$ and $PM_{2.5}$ in Jeju City was higher than 61% and 66%, respectively. The contribution of sea-salt to the mass of $PM_{10}$ (5.9%) and $PM_{2.5}$ (2.6%) in Jeju City was similar to that in several coastal regions of South Korea. The mass ratio of $Cl^-$ to $Na^+$ in the downtown area of Jeju City was comparable to that in some coastal regions, such as the Gosan Area of Jeju Island, Deokjeok Island, and Taean City. The mass fraction of sea-salt in $PM_{10}$ and $PM_{2.5}$ was very low, and the concentration of sodium and chloride ions in $PM_{10}$ was not correlated with those in $PM_{2.5}$ ($R^2$ < 0.2), suggesting that the effects of sea-salt on the formation of particulate matter in Jeju City might be insignificant. The relationship between $NH_4{^+}$ and several anions such as $SO_4{^{2-}}$, $NO_3{^-}$, and $Cl^-$, as well as the relationship between the measurement and calculation of ammonium ion concentration, suggested that sea-salts may not react with $H_2SO_4$, and $(NH_4)_2SO_4$ may be a major secondary inorganic aerosol component of $PM_{2.5}$ and $PM_{10}$ in Jeju City.

Air pollutants emitted from chimneys of coal-fired power plants are considered to be a major source of fine particulate matter in the atmosphere. In order to manage fine particle in the chimney of a coal-fired power plant, it is necessary to know the concentration of fine particle emitted in real time, but the current system is difficult. In this study, a real-time measurement system for chimney fine particle was developed, and measurements were performed on six coal-fired power plants. Through the measurements, the mass concentration distribution according to the particle size could be secured. All six chimneys showed bimodal distribution, and the count median diameters of each mode were 0.5 and 1.1 ㎛. In addition, it was compared with the gravimetric measurement method, and it was determined that the relative accuracy for PM10 was within 20%, and the value measured using the developed measuring instrument was reliable. Finally, three power plants were continuously measured for one month, and as a result of comparing the concentration of PM10 according to the amount of power generation, it was confirmed that the PM10 discharged from the chimney increased in the form of an exponential function according to the amount of power generation.

It is well known that two representative methods satisfy EURO-IV regulation from EURO-III. The first method is to achieve the regulation through the reduction of NOx in an engine by utilizing relatively high EGR rate and the elimination of subsequently increased PM by DPF. However, it results in the deterioration of fuel economy due to relatively high EGR rate. The second is to use the high combustion strategy to reduce PM emission by high oxidation rate and trap the high NOx emissions with DeNOx catalysts such as Urea-SCR. While it has good fuel economy relative to the first method mentioned above, its infrastructure is demanded. In this paper, the number distribution of nano PM has been evaluated by Electrical Low Pressure Impactor(ELPI) and CPC in case of Urea-SCR system in second method. From the results, the particle number was increased slightly in proportion to the amount of urea injection on Fine Particle Region, whether AOC is used or not. Especially, in case of different urea injection pressure, the trends of increasing was distinguished from low and high injection pressure. As low injection pressure, the particle number was increased largely in accordance with the amount of injected urea solution on Fine Particle Region. But Nano Particle Region was not. The other side, in case of high pressure, increasing rate of particle number was larger than low pressure injection on Nano Particle Region. From the results, the reason of particle number increase due to urea injection is supposed that new products are composited from HCNO, sulfate, NH3 on urea decomposition process.

The main purpose of the study was to clarify the properties of individual particles collected at each behavior space of a factory worker. The samplings of size-segregated ($PM_{2.1-1.1}$ and $PM_{4.7-3.3}$) indoor particles were conducted at three different behavior spaces of a factory worker who is engaged in an auto parts manufacturing plant (i.e., his home, his work place in factory, and his favorite restaurant). Elemental specification (i.e., relative elemental content and distribution in and/or on individual particles) was performed by a micro-PIXE system. Every element detected from the coarse particulate matters of home was classified into three groups, i.e., a group of high net-counts (Na, Al, and Si), a group of intermediate net-counts (Mg, S, Cl, K, and Ca), and a group of minor trace elements (P, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, and Pb). The results of EF for $PM_{4.7-3.3}$ in home indicated that several heavy metals were generated from the sources within the house itself. An exceptional feature shown in the individual particles in workplace is that Cr, Mn, and Co were clearly detected in both fine and coarse particles. Cluster analysis suggested that the individual coarse particles ($PM_{4.7-3.3}$) collected at the indoor of factory were chemically heterogeneous and they modified with sea-salt, mineral, and artificially derived elements. The principal components in individual coarse particles collected at restaurant were sea-salt and mineral without mixing with harmful trace elements like chromium and manganese. Compared to the indoor fine particles of home and restaurant, many elements, especially, Cl, Na, Cr, Mn, Pb, and Zn showed overwhelmingly high net-counts in those of factory.
