A study on the formation of particulate nitrate$(NO_3^-)$ and gaseous nitrate$(HNO_3)$ in the atmosphere was carried out in Seoul from Oct 8 to 11 1991. To collect $NO_3^-$ and $HNO_3$ in the ambient air, dual filter pack sampler (47mm$\phi$) was used. In the dual filter pack sampler, the first filter was Teflon filter (poresize 1$\mum$) for collection of $NO_3^-$ and the second filter was Nylon filter (poresize 0.45 $\mum$) for $HNO_3$. Particulate nitrate$(NO_3^-)$ and Sulfate ions were analysed by Ion chromatography. $HNO_3$ concentration was higher in the day time $(9.93\mug/m^3)$ than the night time$(3.50\mug/m^3)$, and Particulate nitrate$(NO_3^-)$ concentration was higher in the night time and early morning$(6.21\mug/m^3)$ than the day time$(4.31\mug/m^3)$. The conversion rate of $NO_x$ to total nitrate$(NO_3^-, HNO_3)$ was 7.57%/hr in the day time and 4.79%/hr in the night time, and total average conversion rate was 5.60%/hr.

Atmospheric particulate matter (A. P. M.) was collected and size-fractionated by an Andersen high-volume air sampler over 15 month period from Jan. 1985 to Feb. 1986 in Seoul. The concentration of chloride, nitrate and sulfate were extracted in an ultrasonic bath and were analyzed by ion chromatography. The annual arithmetical mean of A. P. M. was 128.54 $\mug/m^3$. The concentration of anions were 2.88 $\mug/m^3$ for chloride, 3.86$\mug/m^3$ for nitrate, and 25.44$\mug/m^3$ for sulfate. The content of A. P. M. was lowest in the particle size range 1.1 $\sim 3.3\mum$ and increased as the particle size increased or decreased. And the anions exhibited a seasonal variation in the isize distribution. The contents of anions were higher in winter than summer. Ther ratio of fine particles to the total particles defined by F/T for chloride, nitrate and sulfate. The F\ulcornerT of these anion generally decrease with increasing air temperature. This tendency was prevalent in the chloride and nitrate.

The in vitro activity of LB 10517, a new catechol-substituted cephalosporin, was compared with those of E-1077, cefpirome and ceftazidime 1034 clinical isolates collected in Japan. LB10517 showed a broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against a wide range of grampositive and gram-negative bacteria including non-glucose fermenting rods, Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Against the methicillin-susceptible strains of Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) and Strptoccus pyogenes, the $MIC_{90}$ values of LB10517 which required to inhibit 90% of the strains wre $3.13\mug/ml\; and\; 0.1\mug/ml$, respectively. It was as active as E-1077 but more active than cefpirome and ceftazidime. Methicillin-resistant strains of S.aureus (MRSA) and Enterococcus spp. were highly resistant to all the test compunds. LB10517 was highly active against most members of the family Enterobacteriaceae, 90% of which were inhibited at a concentration of less than $0.78\mug/ml$, except for Enterobacter cloacae ($1.56\mug/ml$) and Serratia marcescens ($3.13\mug/ml$)Its activity was comparable to those of E-1077 and cefpirome but it was greater than that of ceftazidime. Against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, LB10517 showed the most potent antibacterial activity among the compounds tested. Ninety percent of P. aeruginosa isolates were susceptible at the concentration of $0.39\mug/ml$. Its activity was 32-to 128 fold higher than those of E-1077, cefpirome and ceftazidime. Against imipenem- or ofloxacin-resistant P. aeruginosa, LB10517 with $MIC_{90}\; of\; 6.25 \\mug/ml\; and\; 3.13\mug/ml$, respectively, showed 16-fold more potent activity than the other test compounds. LB10517 showed a relatively high plasma level and long plasma elimination half-life in rats $(t_{1/2}(\beta,\; 52 min)\; and\; dogs\; (t_{1/2}(\beta),\; 103 min)$.

Leading educational paradigm based on Constructivism drives for many changes in the field of education. It causes the shift from instructor-based to learner-based learning, and cooperative teaming amongst the learners. Multi User Game (MUG) which is a network-based cooperative game is popular among many college students. MUG is known to provide positive and creative activities encouraging learners to participate, reform and produce new knowledge and skills. Thus, it has potential as an effective learning tool. In this study, however, we have designed a prototype of Cooperative MUG Game for elementary students to learn within networked environment to play while learning new knowledge and skills. The elementary students will interact with the other students through chatting while playing MUG.

The effect on the particulate matters in the atmosphere was investigated in Seoul area from March, 1984 to Aprill, 1985. Aerosols were collected by filters on nine stages Andrsen Air Sampler, and size distribution and total concentration of the aerosols, Fe and Pb were measured. In spring with Yellow Sand the concentration of particles in aerosols was 185.55$\mug/m^3$ and CP/TA was 65.9%. But in spring without Yellow Sand those of particles was 135.45$\mug/m^3$ and CP/TA was 58.6%. Accordingly the concentration of coarse particles with Yellow Sand was higher than without them in Spring. Above results indicate that in Seoul Area the main source of air pollution originated from natural burdens, especially from soil. The concentration of Pb was similarly valued through both seasons in Seoul area but fine particles valued above coarse particles. On the other hand, in urban area, the natural and anthropogenic sources have influenced on the concentration of Pb. With referred to particle size distribution for Fe, the concentration of coarse particles was 0.168$\etag/m^3$ (CP/TA: 74.3%) in Spring with Yellow Sand, 0.096$\mug/m^3$ (CP/TA: 71.6%) without Yellow Sand and 0.083$\mug/m^3$ (CP/TA: 67.4%) in winter, respectively. Compared with fine particles, all of them were higher. It indicated that the origin of coarse particles in urban air was not related to anthropogenic source. The concentration of Fe was influenced by Yellow Sand and contributed to air pollution.

To understand the human exposure levels of volatile halogenated hydrocar-bons in ambient air, a new rapid and convenient analytical method for determination of the compounds in gaseous phase was evaluated and established. The method is based upon passsive diffusion to personal sampler containing adsorbent and solvent extraction followed by purge trap/ on-column cryof-ocusing method. A new method needs no special instrumentation for gas collection because it is based upon the passive diffusion principle. The typical chromatogram obtained in this study proved that rapid and simultaneous determination of target analytes was possible with good resolution. The developed method was successfully applied to determine the volatile halogenated hydrocarbons in indoor air and the values obtained by this new method were compared with those by direct suction method. The concentration of carbon tetrachloride, 1,1,2-trichloroethylene, chloroform showed the values below 400$\mug/m^3$ except the maximum of 1,513$\mug/m^3$ of chloroform. 1,1,1-Trichloroethane showed approximately 1,000 to 5,000$\mug/m^3$ range of diurnal fluctuation in indoor air.
