Precipitation samples were collected at sixteen sites in Northeast Asia from June 1995 to February 1997, and were analysed for the anions $SO_4^{2-}$, $NO_3^-$and $Cl^-$ and for the cartons $Na^+, NH_4^+, K^+, Mg^{2+} and $Ca^{2+}$in addition to pH and conductivity measurements. The quality assurance of chemical composition data was checked by considering the ion balance evaluating by 1 h 1 value and the conductilfty balance. The sum of cation concentrations were slightty greater than the sum of anion concentraions. For the anions, $SO_4^{2-}$ clearly dominates in most of sampling states whereas $Cl^-$ is more abundant in coast and rural sites In. Tapan. For the cations. $Ca^{2+}$ and $NH_4^+$ are generally the more abundant tons except when sources of Na+ exist. The contribution rate of nss-$SO_4^2-and NO_3^-$ to acidity are about 70% and 10-30%. respectively. The neutralizing capacity by a major neutralizing cations such as $NH_4^+$ and nuts -$SO_4^2$. are above 98%(heavy polluted and urban sites in China), above 70%(urban sites in Japi,n and in Korea, coast sites In Chinas and above 60%(rural sites in Japan and in Korea), respectively.

The chemical characteristics of precipitation was investigated in Pusan area. Samples were collected from January to November in 1996 at 4 sites, and analyzed pH, major soluble ionic components(C $l^{[-10]}$ , N $O_3$$^{[-10]}$ , S $O_4$$^{2-}$, N $a^{+}$, $K^{+}$, N $H_4$$^{+}$, $Mg^{2+}$, $Ca^{2+}$). The order of anion and cation concentrations for the initial precipitation were C $l^{[-10]}$ ＞ S $O_4$$^{2-}$ ＞ N $O_3$$^{[-10]}$ , and $Ca^{2+}$ ＞ N $a^{+}$ ＞ N $H_4$$^{+}$ ＞ $Mg^{2+}$ ＞ $K^{+}$, respectively. At coastal sites(P1 and P2) C $l^{[-10]}$ and N $a^{+}$ of maritime sources (seasalt) were high, but at inland sites(P3 and P4) nss-C $a^{2+}$ and nss-S $O_4$$^{2-}$ were high. Calcium ion for the initial precipitation showed high value of enrichement factor(EF) relative to seawater composition. The contribution of seasalt to the composition of precipitation was higher at bite P1 (53.5%) than those of the other sites. Throughout the year the concentrations of major ions for the initial precipitation were low in the heavy rain season. The mean pH for the initial precipitation was 5.4 and showed the negative relationship with the precipitaion amount. The S $O_4$$^{2-}$ and N $O_3$$^{[-10]}$ do not play an important role in rain acidification due to the high(97%) neutralizing effect of amonia and calcium species.and calcium species.

The collection of $PM_{10}$ and $PM_{2.5}$ samples was made at Gosan site of Jeju Island. Their ionic compositions of both inorganic and organic phases were then analyzed to examine their acidification and neutralization characteristics in atmospheric aerosols. The mass concentrations of $PM_{10}$ and $PM_{2.5}$ at Gosan site were $37.6{\pm}20.1$ and $22.9{\pm}14.3{\mu}g/m^3$, respectively, showing the content ratio of $PM_{2.5}$ to $PM_{10}$ as 61.0%. In the evaluation of ionic balance, the correlation coefficients (r) between the sums of cationic and anionic equivalent concentrations were excellent with 0.982 ($PM_{10}$) and 0.991 ($PM_{2.5}$). The concentration ratios of $PM_{2.5}/PM_{10}$ derived for nss-$SO_4^{2-}$, $NO_3^-$, and $NH_4^+$ were 0.94, 0.56, and 1.02, respectively, indicating the relative dominance of fine fractions. The acidifying capacity of inorganic anions ($SO_4^{2-}$ and $NO_3^-$) in $PM_{10}$ and $PM_{2.5}$ were 96.5% and 97.3%, while those of organic anions ($HCOO^-$ and $CH_3COO^-$) in each fraction were 2.9% and 2.0%, respectively. On the other hand, the neutralizing capacity of $PM_{10}$ and $PM_{2.5}$ by $NH_3$ were 72.8% and 82.3%, while their $CaCO_3$ counter parts were 22.5% and 13.3%, respectively.

강설과 강우에서의 이온성분 차이와 강설이 겨울철 강수의 화학적 특성에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위하여 전북 익산지역에서 1995년부터 2000년까지 강우와 강설의 포집이 가능한 매 $11\sim12$월과 $1\sim2$월 동안에 자동강수채취장치를 사용하여 강수를 포집한 후 pH와 전기전도도 그리고 수용성 이온성분의 농도를 측정하였다. 겨울철 강수의 평균 pH는 4.72이었으며, 강수의 침적형태에 따라서는 강설(5.05)보다 강우(4.67)에서 높은 산성도를 나타내었다. pH 5.0 이하의 저 pH 발생빈도는 강우의 경우 약 73%이었으며, 강설은 30%이었다. 이온성분의 경우 강설은 강우에 비해 해염에서 기원하고 있는 이온성분들의 농도가 높게 나타났는데, 특히 $Cl^-$, $Na^+$, $Mg^{2+}$ 의 경우 3배 이상의 농도 차이를 나타내었다. 해염기원 성분을 제외할 경우 강우와 강설 모두 음이온에서는 $nss-SO_4^{2-}$와 $NO_3^-$가 그리고 양이온에서는 $NH_4^+$와 $nss-Ca^{2+}$가 주성분인 것으로 나타났다. 이중 $nss-SO_4^{2-}$는 강우에서 1.3배 높은 농도를 나타낸 반면, $nss-Ca^{2+}$와 $NO_3^-$의 경우 강설에서 각각 1.5배와 1.3배 높은 농도를 나타내었다. 겨울철 강수 중 $nSS-SO_4^{2-}/NO_3^-$의 당량농도비는 2.4이었는데 이것은 강수의 산성도에 대한 $H_2SO_4$의 기여율이 71%이고 그 나머지가 $HNO_3$에 의한 것임을 의미한다. 강우와 강설에서는 각각 2.7과 1.5를 나타내었는데 이것은 입자상의 $SO_4^{2-}$나 $NO_3^-$보다 가스상의 $HNO_3$가 강설에서 효율적으로 제거되기 때문으로 국외의 다른 실측 연구결과와도 일치하고 있으며, 대기에어로졸의 세정이론과도 잘 부합되는 것으로 나타났다. 익산지역의 겨울철 강우와 강설 모두 $nss-SO_4^{2-}$와 $NO_3^-$가 국내 외 비오염지역에 비해 고농도로 검출되었지만, 이에 대응하는 알칼리성의 $NH_4^+$, $nss-Ca^{2+}$, $nss-K^+$ 등이 존재함으로써 중화작용이 이 지역 강수의 중요한 특징으로 나타났다. 그러나 강우와 강설에서의 이온성분의 차이 그리고 산성원인물질에 대한 이들 알칼리성 물질의 중화능 차이에 의해 강우에 비해 강설의 산성도가 낮은 것으로 나타났으며, 결과적으로 강설은 겨울철 강수의 산성도를 완화시키는 역할을 하는 것으로 파악되었다.

In order to investigate the chemical components of acid precipitation at Kangwha near the Yellow Sea and Seoul in Korea, the precipitation samples were collected by wetonly precipitation sampler from February 1991 to January 1992, and pH, electric conductivity(E. C.) and major water-soluble ionic components were analyzed. Strong negative linear correlations were observed between the rainfall amount and the sum of major ionic components in $\mu eq/\ell$ at two sites. The sum of major ionic components also correlated negatively with rain intensity. The analytical results of precipitation samples at two sites were compared each other. Average values of volume-weighted pH were found to be 5.21 at Kangwha and 5.09 at Seoul. The cationic abundance($\mu eq/\ell$) in rainwater showed the general trend $NH_4^+ > Na^+ > Ca^{2+} > Mg^{2-+} > H^+ > K^+$ at Kangwah and $NH_4^+ > Ca^{2+} > Na^+ > H^+ > Mg^{2+} > K^+$ at Seoul. The anionic abundance showed the general trend $SO_4^{2-} > Cl^- > NO_3^-$ at Kangwha and $SO_4^{2-} > NO_3^- > Cl^-$ at Seoul. The concentrations of seasalt such as $Na^+ and Cl^-$ were higher at Kangwha than Seoul. The concentrations of $nss-SO_4^{2-}, nss-Cl^- and NO_3^-$ which are acid composition were higher at Seoul(96.3 $\mu eq/\ell$) than Kangwha(69.0 $\mu eq/\ell$). The contribution of seasalt to the composition of precipitation were higher at Kangwha(34.1%) than Seoul(15.7%). Ammonia and calcium species in rainwater at Kangwha and Seoul are interpreted to have 91% of neutralizing capacity of the original sulfuric and nitric acids. Provided that the precipitation acidity originates primarily from sulfate and nitrate, sulfate was found to contribute about 73-75% of the free precipitation acidity.

This study was conducted to find end-members and tracers which are effective to be applied in the End Member Mixing Analysis (EMMA) model for runoff separation at the Gwangneung coniferous forest catchment (13.6ha), Gyeonggido, Korea. We monitored three successive rainfall events during two weeks from June 26, 2005 to July 10, 2005, and analysed chemical properties of rainfall, throughfall, stemflow, groundwater and soil water considered as main components of storm runoff. The followings are the results of analyses of each component and tracer. Groundwater, soil water and rainfall (or throughfall) were dominant runoff components. Rainfall and groundwater were selected as main components for the two components-one tracer mixing model, and groundwater, soilwater and throughfall were selected as main components for the three components-two tracers mixing model. Tracers were selected from anion ($Cl^-$ and ${SO_4}^{2-}$), cation ($Na^+$, $K^+$, $Mg^{2+}$, and $Ca^{2+}$) and Acid Neutralizing Capacity (ANC) in event 1, 2, and 3. $Na^+$, $Ca^{2+}$ and ANC were selected in the two components-one tracer mixing model and ${SO_4}^{2-}-K^+$, ${SO_4}^{2-}-Na^+$, ${SO_4}^{2-}-Ca^{2+}$, ${SO_4}^{2-}$-ANC, and $Ca^{2+}$-ANC were selected in the three components-two tracers mixing model. Selected main runoff components and tracers can provide basic information to determine the contribution rate of each runoff component and identify the runoff process in a forest watershed.

In this study, the observation data for the yellow sandy dust phenomena from the year 1999 to 2003 at background sites in Korea were collected at Global Atmospheric Observatory at An-Myeon island and its temporal variation were analyzed. The chemical characteristics of the fine particles were also analyzed in order to evaluate sources of the yellow sandy dust particles. The results showed that the monthly average mass concentration of the fine particles was the highest in springtime and the lowest in summertime in general. The magnitude of its variation was also the highest in March in which the occurrence of yellow sandy dust was the most frequent and thus the number of samples was the largest, while the lowest in June through September. The yearly variation of ion components contributions to the total mass concentration of the fine particles was slowly decreasing, showing that $63\%$ in 1999, $59\%$ in 2000 and $56\%$ in 2003. The most prevalent ion components in the fine particles were found to be $NO_3$ and $SO_4^{2-}$, which are known to be source materials of acidic precipitation, and $NH_4^+$, a neutralizing material of the acid precipitation. Relative proportion of metal components in the fine particles was calculated as $14\%$ in average, and their concentrations are in an order of Fe > Al > Na > Ca > Zn > Pb > Cu > Mn > Ni > Cd > Cr > Co > U. The results indicated that main sources of the metals was soil-originated Fe, Al, Ca, and Mg, and the contribution of anthropogenic air Pollution-originated Zn, Pb, Cu, Mn were also high and keep slightly increasing. Statistical analysis showed that the chemical components could be divided into soil-originated group of Mg, Al, Ca, Fe, and Mn and air pollution-originated group of $NO_3$, Zn, Pb, and they are occupying more than $60\%$of all the components in the dusty sand. The results explain that An-Myeon island is more influenced by soil-originated source than ocean-originated one and also the influencing strength of anthropogenic poilution-originated source is less than $50\%$ of that of soil-originated sources. Compared to non-yellow sandy period, the yellow sandy dust period showed that the amounts of soil-originated $Mg^{2+}$ and $Ca^{2+}$ and ocean-originated $Na^+$ and $Cl^-$ were increased to more than double and the metals of Mg, Al, Ca, Fe were also highly increased, while micro metal components such as Pb, Cd, Zn, which have a tendency of concentrating in air, were either decreased or maintained at nearly constant level. In the period of yellow sandy dust, a strong positive correlation was observed between water soluble ions and between metals in terms of its concentration, respectively. Factor analysis showed that the first group being comprised of about $43\%$ of the total inorganic components was affected by soil and they are ions of $Na^+,\;Mg^{2+}\;and\;Ca^{2+}$ and metals of Na, Fe, Mn and Ni. The result also showed that the metals of Mg and Cr were classified as second group and they were also highly affected by soil sources.

This study investigated the contribution of lipoxygenase (LOX) inhibitors, nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA), tetra-O-methyl nordihydroguaiaretic acid (M₄N) and zileuton (ZIL), and thromboxane A2 (TXA₂) inhibitor 4,5-diphenylimidazole (DPI) in the proliferation of Brucella abortus infection. None of the compounds affected the uptake of Brucella into the macrophages. We determined the effect of neutralizing leukotriene B4 (LTB4) receptor and showed that the uptake of the bacteria was inhibited at 30 min post-infection. M₄N treatment attenuated intracellular survival of Brucella at 2 h post-incubation but it was not observed in the succeeding time points. DPI treatment showed reduced survival of Brucella at 24 h post-incubation while blocking LTB4 receptor was observed to have a lower intracellular growth at 48 h post-incubation suggesting different action of the inhibitors in the course of the survival of Brucella within the cells. Reduced proliferation of the bacteria in the spleens of mice was observed in animals treated with ZIL or DPI. Increased serum cytokine level of TNF-α and MCP-1 was observed in mice treated with M₄N or ZIL while a lower IFN-γ level in ZIL-treated mice and a higher IL-12 serum level in DPI-treated mice were observed at 7 d post-infection. At 14 d post-infection, ZIL-treated mice displayed reduced serum level of IL-12 and IL-10. Overall, inhibition of 5-LOX or TXA₂ or a combination therapy promises a potential alternative therapy against B. abortus infection. Furthermore, strong ligands for LTB4 receptor could also be a good candidate for the control of Brucella infection.

수원과 태안에 위치한 농업지역에서 영농기간 중 강우의 화학적 특성을 알아보기 위하여 2009년 4월부터 11월까지 강우 53점을 채수하여 강우 중의 이온조성, 산성도 및 강우량을 고려한 가중평균 이온농도 변화를 평가하였다. 강우의 조성에서 양이온 구성은 $Na^+>{NH_4}^+>Ca^{2+}>H^+>Mg^{2+}>K^+$의 순이었으며, $Na^+$와 ${NH_4}^+$ 성분이 전체 양이온 조성의 65% 이상을 차지하였다. 음이온은 ${SO_4}^{2-}>{NO_3}^->Cl^-$ 순으로 ${SO_4}^{2-}$가 약 61%를 차지하였다. 조사 기간 중 평균 sulfate 함량은 수원 130.2 ${\mu}eq\;L^{-1}$ 태안121.3 ${\mu}eq\;L^{-1}$이었으며, 이중 비해염 sulfate (NSS-${SO_4}^{2-}$)함량이 92%를 차지하여 강우 중에 함유된 sulfate의 대부분이 인위적인 발생원에 기인된 것을 알 수 있었다. 강우량을 고려한 월별 질소 부하량은 약 1~2 kg $ha^{-1}$정도로 토양에 공급되는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 특히, 수원지역의 7월 강우사상별 강우량은 7.3 mm 이상으로 총질소는 6 kg $ha^{-1}$로 가장 많이 부하되는 것으로 나타났다. 주요 영농기인 4~10월 동안 ${SO_4}^{2-}$, $Ca^{2+}$, $K^+$, $Mg^{2+}$의 부하량은 수원에서 각각 56.0, 7.4, 5.7, 1.4 kg $ha^{-1}$ 이었고, 태안에서 각각 42.8, 4.7, 2.6, 1.4 kg $ha^{-1}$ 이었다.
