As the air pollution progresses, the pollution degree of the indoor air quality is increased, and when the pollution degree of the indoor air quality is increased, it causes respiratory diseases and skin diseases. In addition, volatile organic compounds are released from the materials used for architectural interior decoration, and volatile organic compounds are the main cause of polluting indoor air quality. In order to improve indoor air quality, we tried to secure indoor air quality pollution by using photocatalyst which has the function of decomposing harmful substances. photocatalyst is a material that promotes chemical reaction by absorbing light. The photocatalyst used in the experiment was TiO₂, In this study, an adsorption type hardener for reducing volatile organic compounds was prepared by photocatalytic reaction. the formaldehyde and CO₂ concentrations of the cured products were analyzed according to the TiO₂ content.

Recently, damages resulting from light trespass that affects the human body (sleep) as one of light pollution control elements of outdoor Luminaires equipment are leading to continuous civil complaints and disputes and this is gradually expanding into a social problem. Accordingly, this study considers the need to develop a shielding plate in consideration of light distribution performance as an efficient measure to cope with damages from light trespass. Therefore, this study developed a shielding plate for LED Luminaires with a fine view that maximally inhibited light toward the backlight area compared to existing shielding plates and verified its performance.

In this paper, A new integrated energy simulation results of LED lamp are presented to use it effectively in the office buildings. Generally LED lamp has many advantages in comparison with a general lamp such as long life and no pollution problem like the mercury. It also is excellent in color rendering and small consumption electric power. However LED lamp has some disadvantages to compare to general fluorescent lamp. It is small light flux about 50[%] and narrow light distribution than fluorescent lamp. Therefore, to apply LED lamp in an office building, the illuminance distribution with an environment analysis and cooling, heating and light energy has to be analyzed. The purpose of this study is to analyze light environment, light, cooling and heating energy simulation in office building.

Recently, as the amount of particulate matter blowing from China increases, the domestic air environment is rapidly deteriorating. This pollution of the atmosphere greatly affects the light energy reaching the ground. Particularly, since the light enters the solar cell module in various forms, the amount of input energy of the solar power generation system may be changed depending on the ratio of direct beam irradiation and diffused horizontal irradiation. In this paper, we analyze how the ratio of direct beam component and diffused component on global horizontal irradiation varies with the atmospheric conditions. In addition, the reliability of the regression equation, designed to decompose the global horizontal irradiation into horizontal direct beam irradiation and diffused horizontal irradiation, was verified according to the level of air pollution. So, we derive the most suitable decomposition model for use in domestic climatic conditions in Korea by comparing the ratio of direct and diffuse component on the horizontal which is calculated with Perez model and Watanabe model using the meteorological weather data observed for 14 months. Finally, to reduce the error of the transposition result, we verified the reliability of the decomposition which depends on the atmospheric environment.

To evaluate the organic matter and trace metal pollution in intertidal sediment of the coastal zone, various geochemical parameters (grain size, ignition loss [IL], chemical oxygen demand [COD], acid volatile sulfide [AVS], and metals [Al, Fe, Cu, Pb, Zn, Cd, Cr, Mn, Hg, and As]) were measured for the intertidal surface sediment of the mainland and islands between Mokpo and Haenam in the southwestern coast of Korea. The surface sediments consist mainly of finer sediments, such as mud and silt. The concentrations of IL, COD, and trace metals in intertidal sediment were relatively high in the shoreline of the mainland than in that of islands and those in some stations exceeded the sediment quality guidelines (SQGs). Moreover, the concentrations of IL, COD, and trace metals (except As) in sediment showed relatively good positive correlations with mean grain size, indicating that the concentrations of organic matter and trace metals in intertidal sediment of the study region are dependent on grain size of sediment. Pollution evaluation for trace metals using geochemical assessment techniques, such as enrichment factor, geoaccumulation index, and SQGs, suggested that the intertidal sediments in the study region show light pollution with Cr and moderate pollution with As. More extensive interdisciplinary studies are required to determine the potential causes of As pollution in intertidal sediment.

A valuation of air pollution is critical for relevant policy-making for the public and research direction. This study conducted a willingness-to-pay (WTP) survey using contingent valuation method (CVM) in Seoul Korea. In detail, this study puts an emphasis on its temporal changes referred on two surveys conducted in 2014 and 2019. In reference to the previous studies in 2002, our survey indicated that the public awareness of air pollution and interests on its sources and solutions increased noticeably. Our survey showed that WTP increased significantly from 2588 to 4827 and 8240 Korean Won $month^{-1}$ in 2002, 2014, and 2019, respectively. Moreover, the percentage of respondents to pay the WTP also increased from 48% to 68% and 79% in 2002, 2014, and 2019, respectively. Our analysis based on the number of Google search on particulate matters (PMs) strongly suggests that such the noticeable increases of the public attention to air pollution is well accorded with the moment of the announcement of a standard for ultra-fine particles and the start of PM prediction in late 2013. But the Google search rate grew about 16.7 times in 2009 compared to 2014, which is much larger than the growth rate of interest and WTP between 2014 and 2019. Our results shed light on policy decision for the right person in the right place on the right time in the era of air pollution.
