HCCI engines take advantage of high compression ratio and heat release rate, they exhibit high efficiency in compression ignition engines. HCCI engines also utilize a lean air/fuel ratio resulting in low emissions of NOx and particulate matter(PM). The objective of this research is to determine the effects of EGR rate on the combustion processes of HCCI. For this purpose, a 4-cylinder, compression ignition engine was converted into a HCCI engine, and a heating device was installed to raise the temperature of the intake air and also to make it more consistent. In addition, a pressure sensor was inserted into each of the cylinders to investigate the differences in characteristics among the cylinders.

A lithium-ion battery is a rechargeable battery that uses the reversible reduction of lithium ions to store energy and is the predominant battery type in many industrial and consumer electronics. The lithium-ion batteries are essential to ensure they operate safely. We conducted an exposure assessment five days after a fire in a battery-testing facility. We assessed some of the potentially hazardous materials after a lithium-ion battery fire.We sampled total suspended particles, hydrogen fluoride, and lithium with real-time monitoring of particulate matter (PM) 1, 2.5, and 10 micrometers (㎛). The area sampling results indicated that primary potential hazardous materials such as dust, hydrogen fluoride, and lithium were below the recommended limits suggested by the Korean Ministry of Labor and the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists Threshold Limit Values. Based on our assessment, workers were allowed to return to work.

In this study, 4 gases containing typical chlorinated volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were treated by ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. The typical chlorinated VOCs are dichloromethane (DCM), trichloromethane (TCM), carbon tetrachloride (CTC) and trichloroethylene (TCE). The removal efficiency (RE) and the products of chlorinated VOCs by UV irradiation are investigated. At this time, 2 types of background gas (air and nitrogen) were used to figure out the RE by photooxidation and photolysis. The specification of UV-lamp used in this study was low-pressure mercury lamp emitting wavelength of 185~254 nm. The experimental conditions were set as initial VOC concentration of $180{\pm}10ppm$, empty bed retention time (EBRT) of 53 s, temperature of $23{\pm}2^{\circ}C$ and relative humidity of $65{\pm}5%$. In the photolysis condition with nitrogen ($N_2$) as background gas, the averaged RE of the 4 types of chlorinated VOCs was about 24% higher than that with photooxidation; and the REs of VOCs except CTC were confirmed as >99%. The composition of off-gases after UV photooxidation in air was investigated and several intermediates from DCM, TCM and TCE were detected by GC/MS. Among them, phosgene which is a toxics was detected as an intermediate of TCM. In addition, the concentration of carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) in the off-gases was measured to calculate the mineralization rate (MR). With the photooxidation, TCE showed the highest RE (>99%) while MR was the lowest (17%); and the MR of DCM was the highest (86%). In addition, particulate matters (PM) in the off-gases was also detected and high concentrated $PM_{10}$ ($21,580{\mu}g{\cdot}m^{-3}$) and $PM_{2.5}$ ($6,346{\mu}g{\cdot}m^{-3}$) were detected in TCE off-gas. More than 99% of the chlorinated VOCs could be removed using UV254-185 nm lamp, while it is necessary to conduct further studies on the production and treatment of secondary pollutants.

본 연구는 INAA와 ICP-MS의 두 가지 분석방법을 NIST SRM 2783과 실제의 대기입자 시료에 동시에 적용하고 그 결과를 비교하고자 하였다. NIST SRM 2783을 INAA와 ICP-MS로 분석하여 비교한 결과, INAA의 분석결과가 ICP-MS보다 정확하고 정밀한 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 공단지역에서 채취한 PM10 시료를 대상으로 역시 두 방법으로 분석하여 비교한 결과, 농도비의 평균이 Ba, Cu, K, Mg, Na, Sb는 $0.9{\sim}1.1$, Al, Co, Fe, Mn는 $0.8{\sim}1.2$, Se, Ti, Zn는 1.3 이상으로 나타났다. PM10 시료의 분석 대상 원소가 매우 넓은 농도범위를 보임에도 불구하고 회귀분석 및 paired t-test와 Wilcoxon signed-rank test 결과, 13종의 미량원소 중 Al, Ba, Co, Cu, Fe, K, Mn, Na, Sb는 두 방법 간의 분석결과가 잘 일치하는 것으로 나타났다.

낙동강 하구는 다양한 하구개발로 인해 수리 및 지형적인 변화를 겪고 있는 지역으로, 이러한 물리화학적 변화는 낙동강 하구 생태계에 영향을 주고 있다. 특히 낙동강 하구에 도래하는 겨울철새들의 주요 먹이원인 새섬매자기 군락지 및 개체수는 지난 10여년간 지속적인 감소를 보이고 있다. 낙동강 하구의 새섬매자기 개체수 감소 원인 파악을 위해 6개 정점에서 2018년 6월과 8월에 약 30cm의 주상퇴적물을 채취하였다. 퇴적물은 사질이 80% 이상으로 매우 조립하였으며, 평균 염분은 6월 $17.8{\pm}1.12psu$, 8월 $18.4{\pm}1.83psu$였다. 을숙도 퇴적물의 탄소안정동위원소비(${\delta}^{13}C$)는 평균 $-24.7{\pm}0.59$‰로 하구기원 입자성 유기물 특성을 보였다. 표층(0~1cm)에서 ${\delta}^{13}C$는 -24.0 ~ -22.6‰로 새섬매자기 뿌리와 줄기의 ${\delta}^{13}C$($-25.2{\pm}0.05$‰) 보다 다소 높았다. 이는 해양 유기물의 유입이 원인으로 판단된다. 식생지역과 비식생지역의 물리화학적 특성은 유의미한 차이를 보이지 않았으며, 이를 통하여 낙동강 하구 새섬매자기 군락지 환경이 비식생 지역과 거의 동일함을 유추할 수 있다. 결론적으로 낙동강 하구 퇴적물은 조립하고 염분이 15 psu 이상으로, 새섬매자기 생육에 불리한 환경이 유지되고 있음을 유추할 수 있다. 낙동강 염분 상승은 낙동강 하구둑 방류량의 감소가 원인으로 판단되며, 낙동강 하구 염분 상승이 새섬매 자기 생산량의 점진적 감소에 영향을 주었을 것으로 보인다.

Recently increased anthropogenic aerosols change the radiative energy balance and affect human life. The management of air quality requires monitoring both the local emissions and transported pollutants. In order to estimate the quantitative contribution of long-range transport from remote sources on aerosol concentrations in Seoul, the airmasses were classified into five types with respect to their pathways. When airmass came from west over strong emission regions in China, high concentrations of $PM_{10}$, $PM_{2.5}$, black carbon (BC), organic carbon (OC), and elemental carbon (EC) were found, even higher than those for the stagnated airmass. High OC concentrations were found when airmass came from north while BC, EC, and $PM_{2.5}$ concentrations were lower than those of the stagnated airmasses. During dust events, the $PM_{2.5}$ and $PM_{10}$ concentrations increased significantly while carbonaceous aerosol concentrations did not increased. The temporal variations of aerosol concentrations in Seoul were affected by the seasonal variations of airmass pathways. The high $PM_{2.5}$ concentrations over $100{\mu}g\;m^{-3}$ appeared most frequently when the airmasses came from west.

이 연구에서는 미세먼지 시공간 변화 표현의 단점을 개선하고자 미세먼지를 흐름으로 시각화하였다. 일반적으로 미세먼지 흐름 시각화는 농도 분포와 바람장을 중첩해 표현하지만 도시 단위 이하 국지적 이동의 경우 바람과 미세먼지 이동이 다를 수 있으므로 바람장을 사용하는 것이 적합하지 않을 수 있다. 제시하는 시각화 방법론은 미세먼지 자료에서 직접 흐름 정보를 추출한다는 점에서 기존 연구와 차별성을 갖는다. 공간 상호작용을 설명하는 중력모델을 확장한 흐름 추출 방법을 미세먼지 자료에 적용하여 미세먼지 분포 변화에서 흐름 정보를 추출하였다. 이를 위해 공간보간법을 이용하여 미세먼지 분포도를 작성하였으며 추출된 미세먼지 흐름 정보를 물방울 모양의 움직이는 입자를 이용해 동적으로 시각화하였다. 산업 및 교통 활동이 시작하는 오전 5~7시 시간대를 대상으로 서울시 미세먼지 평균 흐름을 시각화하였으며 미세먼지 요인 중 하나인 교통정보와 연계하여 시각적으로 관련성을 분석하였다.

Health effects caused by the ultrafine particles in ambient air are great concern to the public health, and the strict measuring and monitoring of the ambient aerosol are required. In this work, the characteristics of the aerosol size distribution in Pohang province are studied. Optical particle counters (Grimm APS 1108 and 1109) were used to measure the aerosol size distribution in the area. Locations near the national monitoring site located in the industrial and the residence area were selected for the measuring sites of this study, and the locations in border area between the industry and the residence were selected for the reference of the comparison. In the industry site, it is found that the concentration of aerosol particles near the size of 5 ${\mu}m$ appear characteristically and the fluctuations in concentration with respect to time are minimal. The mass concentration of the aerosol above 10 ${\mu}m$ in diameter in the industry area was found to fluctuate significantly. The mass portion of $PM_{10}$ and PM2.5 to TSP in the residence area were 83% and 51% respectively. In the industrial regional, it was found that the mass portion of PM10 and $PM_{2.5}$ to TSP were 76% and 35% respectively. In the boundary area the mass portion of $PM_{10}$ and $PM_{2.5}$ to TSP were 78% and 54% respectively.

On September 26, 2017, South Korean government has established the Particulate Matter Comprehensive Plan to improve Korean air quality by 2022, which aims to reduce annual mean surface $PM_{2.5}$ concentration to $18{\mu}g/m^3$. This study demonstrates quantitative assessment of predicted $PM_{2.5}$ concentrations over 17 South Korean regions with the enforcement of the comprehensive plan. We utilize the Community Multi-scale Air Quality (CMAQ) modeling system with CAPSS 2013 and CREATE 2015 emissions inventories. Simulations are conducted for 2015 with the base emissions and the planned emissions, and impacts from model biases are minimized using the RRF (Relative Response Factor). With effective emission reduction scenario suggested by the comprehensive plan, the model demonstrates that the surface $PM_{2.5}$ concentration may decrease by $6{\mu}g/m^3$ ($23{\mu}g/m^3{\rightarrow}17{\mu}g/m^3$) and $7{\mu}g/m^3$ ($25{\mu}g/m^3{\rightarrow}18{\mu}g/m^3$) for Seoul and South Korea, respectively. The number of high $PM_{2.5}$ days(daily mean>$25{\mu}g/m^3$) also decreases from 21 days to 4 days.

Samples of size-fractionated PM10 (airborne particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter less than $10\mu\textrm{m}$) were collected at an urban site in Jeju city from May to September 2002. The mass concentration and chemical composition of the samples were measured. The data sets were then applied to the CMB receptor model to estimate the source contribution of PM10 in Jeju area. The average PM10 mass concentration was 28.80$\mu\textrm{g}/m^3$ ($24.6~33.49\mu\textrm{g}/m^3$), and the FP (fine particle with aerodynamic diameter less than $2.l\mu\textrm{m}$ fraction in PM10 was approximately 8% higher than the CP (coarse particle with aerodynamic diameter greater than $2.l\mu\textrm{m}$ and less than $10\mu\textrm{m}$ fraction in PM10. The CP composition was obviously different from the FP composition, that is, the most abundant water soluble species was nitrate ion in the FP, but sulfate ion in the CP. Also sulfur was the most dominant element in the FP, however, sodium was that in the CP. From CMB receptor model results, it was found that road dust was the largest contributor to the CP mass concentration (45% of the CP) and ammonium nitrate, domestic boiler, and marine aerosol were major sources to the CP mass. However, the secondary aerosol was the most significant contributor to the FP mass concentration (45% of the FP). In this study, it was suggested that the contributions of soil dust and gasoline vehicle became very low due to collinearity with road dust and diesel vehicle, respectively.
