삼극형(triode type) 전자 방출원을 프린팅된 CNT(Carbon Nanotube) 에미터를 이용하여 제작하였다. 후면노광(Back Exposure)방법으로 CNT 에미터의 높이를 균일하게 하고, 나노 Ag를 첨가하여 CNT와 전극 사이의 접착력 및 전기전도성을 높임으로써 고전압, 고전류 구동 시 신뢰성을 확보하였다. 게이트 높이가 에미터 길이에 비해 비교적 높은 매크로 게이트 구조를 사용하여 누설 전류가 적고 안정적인 구동이 가능하였다. 제작된 삼극형 전자 방출원은 DC 전압이 인가된 상태에서 일정시간동안 전계방출 전류를 측정하여 신뢰성을 평가하였다. 가열 배기 에이징(Aging) 과정을 거친 경우 약 12 시간동안 안정적인 전계방출 특성을 보였다. 이 때 게이트 누설전류는 약 10 % 미만이었다.

Nanostructured oxides are widely used in heterogeneous catalysis where their catalytic properties are closely associated with the size and morphology at nanometer level. The effect of particle size has been well decumented in the past two decades, but the shape of the nanoparticles has rarely been concerned. Here we illustrate that the redox and acidic-basic properties of oxides are largely dependent on their shapes by taking $Co_3O_4$, $Fe_2O_3$, $CeO_2$ and $La_2O_3$ nanorods as typical examples. The catalytic activities of these rod-shaped oxides are mainly governed by the nature of the exposed crystal planes. For instance, the predominant presence of {110} planes which are rich in active $Co^{3+}$ on $Co_3O_4$ nanorods led to a much higher activity for CO oxidation than the nanoparticles that mainly exposed the {111} planes. The simultaneous exposure of iron and oxygen ions on the surface of $Fe_2O_3$ nanorods have significantly enhanced the adsorption and activation of NO and thereby promoted the efficiency of DeNOx process. Moreover, the exposed surface planes of these rod-shaped oxides mediated the reaction performance of the integrated metal-oxide catalysts. Au/$CeO_2$ catalysts exhibited outstanding stability under water-gas shift conditions owing to the strong bonding of gold particle on the $CeO_2$ nanorods where the formed gold-ceria interface was resistant towards sintering. Cu nanoparticles dispersed on $La_2O_3$ nanorods efficiently catalyzed transfer dehydrogenation of primary aliphatic alcohols based on the uniue role of the exposed {110} planes on the support. Morphology control at nanometer level allows preferential exposure of the catalytically active sites, providing a new stragegy for the design of highly efficient nanostructured catalysts.

상위포식자에 의해 유도되는 Scenedesmus dimorphus (T$\ddot{u}$rpin) K$\ddot{u}$tzing의 군체형성에 관한 실험을 수행하였다. 동물플랑크톤 Daphnia magna (300 ind./L)와 Moina macrocopa (500 ind./L) 배양한후, $0.1\;{\mu}m$ (millipore)로 여과하여 얻어낸 용액 (ZFW)을 S. dimorphus가 1.8 ($10^5\;cells/ml$까지 자란 처리군에 첨가하여, ZFW를 넣지않은 대조군과 비교하였다. 대조군에 비해 두 동물플랑크톤 처리군에서 S. dimorphus의 군체형성의 유도가 뚜렷이 관찰되었다. 이 현상은 M. macrocopa 보다는 D. magna처리군에서 뚜렷하게 관찰되었으며, 첨가해준 ZFW의 양이 증가할수록 particle당 세포수도 비례적으로 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. ZFW처리군에서 1군체당 세포수(cells/colony)와 평균체적 (mean particle biovolume)은 $24{\sim}72$시간 사이에 급격히 증가하는 것으로 관찰되었다. S. dimorphus의 군체형성현상은 동물플랑크톤 D. magna와 M. macrocopa의 분비물에서 유도되는 화학물질의 영향으로 보이며, 이와 같은 형태변화현상은 동물플랑크톤의 포식에 대한 방어기작으로 작용하게 될 것으로 사료된다.

A risk assessment on the heavy metals including arsenic (As), cupper (Cu), lead (Pb), and zinc (Zn) was investigated by setting exposure routes in agricultural fields. Moreover, the factors requiring improvement in risk assessment were also discussed through a review of the dermal absorption slope factor (SF_abs) and total amount of suspended particles (TSP) in the current risk assessment guidelines. Assessment results show that the total cancer risk (TCR) of As through crop and soil ingestion was 1.51E-03 in adults and 6.37E-4 in children, which indicated a carcinogenic risk (exceeding 1E-05). On the other side, the harzard index (HI) was 3.37 in adults and 1.41 in children, which was evaluated as having a non-carcinogenic risk (>1). The carcinogenic purification targets for As were calculated to be 6.84 mg/kg in adults and 6.86 mg/kg in children, while the non-carcinogenic purification targets were calculated to be 13.43 mg/kg for adults and 22.54 mg/kg for children. When applying SF_abs 61 of the current guidelines, it appears that there is a carcinogenic risk even though the As exposure concentration is below the area of concern 1 standard (25 mg/kg), which suggestes that additional research on this factor is required for the risk assessment. In order to apply the measured suspended particle concentration to risk assessment, TSP should be derived from PM10 using an appropriate correlation equation. As a result, it is suggested to improve the risk assessment guidelines so that the mesured PM10 value measured in the field can be used directly.

현재 방사선치료는 선형가속기에 의하여 대다수 이루어지고 있으며 사용되는 방사선인 광자도 의학의 발전에 의해 고에너지화 고선량화 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 방사선치료 조사면에서 중성자 측정이 가능한 CR-39를 이용한 중성자 검출법을 이용하였다. 선형가속기에서 발생되는 X선(광자)치료 시 발생 되는 중성자의 선량을 CR-39를 이용한 중성자 검출법을 이용하여 측정하고, 임상적 응용으로 고에너지 광자를 이용하여 암 치료에 사용할 때 중성자의 발생이 환자치료 선량과 연관되는 어떤 문제를 발생시키는지를 연구한 결과는 다음과 같다. 속중성자의 경우 광자 1Gy 조사 시 평균 0.35mSv, 2Gy 조사 시 평균 0.65mSv, 5Gy 조사 시 평균 1.82mSv, 열중성자의 경우 광자 1Gy 조사 시 평균 0.26mSv, 2Gy 조사 시 평균 0.56mSv, 5Gy 조사 시평균 1.23mSv의 중성자 발생하였다. Wedge Filter를 사용하여 중성자의 발생을 측정한 결과 Wedge Filter를 사용했을 때 중성자의 발생이 증가하였다. 고선량을 요구하는 SRS Cone을 사용했을 때에는 기존의 실험결과 보다 많은 중성자가 검출되었다. 속중성자의 경우 광자 5Gy 조사 시 평균 2.85mSv, 열중성자의 경우 광자 5Gy 조사 시 평균 1.37mSv의 중성자가 발생하였다. 일반 치료 시 광자 5Gy 조사했을 때 보다 속중성자의 경우 약 1.6배, 열중성자의 경우 약 1.12배 정도의 중성자가 더 발생하는 것으로 나타났다.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate the exposure levels of door-to-door deliverers to fine particulate matter (PM2.5). Another objective was to confirm the general working patterns of door-to-door deliverers via survey. Methods: In the city of Daegu, ten door-to-door deliverers who wished to join the study were recruited. The general working characteristics of door-to-door deliverers were surveyed using self-reported questionnaires. In the cabin of each car driven by a deliverer, a real-time PM2.5 sampler (Sidepak, Model AM510, TSI Inc., MN, USA) and a GPS device (GPS 741, Ascen, Korea) were installed. Each deliverer was monitored for four days per week so that each day could be monitored at least four times. Results: A total of 40 measurements of PM2.5 concentrations were taken during delivery of parcels. The average exposure levels of door-to-door deliverers to PM2.5 was $44.62{\mu}g/m^3$ ($7-9443{\mu}g/m^3$. Exposure levels to PM2.5 according to the day of the week and coverage areas were not significantly different (p>0.05). Door-to-door deliverers using trucks with older diesel engines manufactured before 2006 had significantly higher exposure levels to PM2.5 than in the case of trucks with diesel engines manufactured after 2006 (p<0.05). Many of the door-to-door deliverers reported the status of having windows open during the delivery task. During delivery services, the working hours spent in residential areas were higher than on roadsides, but exposure levels to PM2.5 in residential areas and on roadsides were $46.17{\mu}g/m^3$ and $49.90{\mu}g/m^3$, respectively. Real-time PM2.5 exposure levels were significantly different between roadways and residential areas (p<0.001). Conclusions: PM2.5 exposure levels of door-to-door deliverers were found to be affected by higher vehicle emissions from the roadsides near their vehicle during deliveries and while driving to other locations compared to by PM2.5 from the diesel engines of their own trucks. Particle concentrations from roadsides and emissions from nearby vehicles through open windows were the main source of PM2.5.

원전 해체 공정 중 절단 및 용융작업에서 발생되는 방사성 에어로졸은 작업종사자의 호흡을 통해 내부 피폭을 유발하게 된다. 이에 따라 해체 중 방사성 에어로졸로 인한 작업종사자의 내부피폭 평가가 필요한 실정이다. 정확한 내부피폭평가를 위해서는 작업종사자의 작업환경 실측값이 필요하지만 실측에 어려움이 있을 시에는 국제방사선방호위원회(ICRP)에서 제시하는 섭취량 분율 및 입자 크기 등의 권고 값을 통해 내부피폭선량을 추정할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 입자 크기의 선정은 ICRP에서 권고하는 작업종사자의 고려 입자 크기인 $5{\mu}m$을 적용하였다. 발생량의 경우, 불가리아의 Kozloduy 부지 내의 용융시설에서 발생 된 에어로졸의 포집량 데이터를 이용하여 섭취량을 산정하였다. 또한 이를 이용해 작업종사자의 체내 및 배설물에서의 방사능 수치를 계산하고 BiDAS 전산코드를 통해 내부피폭 평가를 수행하였다. Type M이 0.0341 mSv, Type S가 0.0909 mSv로 두 흡수 형태 각각 국내 연간 선량 한도의 0.17%, 0.45% 수준을 나타내었다.

최근에 정자기장을 사용하는 새로운 기술이 개발되어 인체가 정자기장에 노출될 가능성이 커지게 되어 건강에 영향을 줄 우려도 증가되었다. 여러 나라에서 정부를 비롯한 권위 있는 기관들이 주로 자기공명 영상법(MRI)이나 고에너지물리학에서의 입자가속기와 같은 특수 용도를 위해 노출한도를 제시해 왔다. 산업적인 면과 의학에서의 정자기장의 응용이 앞으로 더 많아져서 직업적이거나 일반공중이거나 간에 노출 가능성이 증가되고, 또 정자기장(static magnetic field)에 영향을 받는 강자성(强磁性) 이식조직 이나 전자장치를 부착한 사람들의 수도 증가하고 있으므로 국제적인 노출한도에 대한 지침이 필요하게 되었다. 본고에서는 비 이온화방사선(NIR)에 대한 국제방사선방어학회/비이온방사선방어위원회(IRPA/ICNIRP)의 제반지침을 검토하기 위하여 이 IRPA/ICNIRP(이전의 INIRC의 것도 포함)의 기본지침 중 정자기장에 대한 노출한도에 관한 지침을 택하여 논하였다.

This study was conducted to identify the pollutants generated by the fuel complex and to determine the health effects of the surrounding residents. In addition, based on the results of epidemiological surveys and health impact surveys of local residents, we analyze the distribution of patient groups and exposure characteristics according to the distance from the fuel complex boundary. Samples were collected from the briquette plant within the fuel complex and analyzed by SEM-EDXA, X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometer, and ICP. In addition, the distribution of patients and exposure characteristics were analyzed according to the distance from the fuel complex and yard boundaries. Analysis of briquette samples from the fuel complex showed that the average particle size was 10-30 ㎛, the shape was irregular, and SiO₂ accounted for more than 50%. It is believed that silica, which causes pneumoconiosis, may have been scattered into the air. In particular, there was a large distribution of 5 ㎛ particles that affect respiratory diseases. According to the analysis of the residential addresses and distribution of pneumoconiosis cases, many pneumoconiosis cases were located in the area between 200 and 500 meters from the boundary of the fuel complex. In addition, 28 pneumoconiosis cases were identified as a result of the epidemiological survey and health impact survey at the fuel complex. In detail, there were 8 cases of occupational pneumoconiosis, 6 cases of environmental pneumoconiosis, and 14 cases of occupational and environmental pneumoconiosis. The confirmed pneumoconiosis cases were located between 0.3 and 1.1 kilometers from the fuel complex. It was found that environmental pollutants generated by the fuel complex adversely affect the health of local residents. In particular, there are many cases of pneumoconiosis in the area between 200 and 500 meters from the boundary of the fuel complex, and this distance is considered to be the direct and indirect impact zone of the briquette plant.

Background: Relationships among portable scanning mobility particle sizer (P-SMPS), condensation particle counter (CPC), and surface area monitor (SAM), which are different metric measurement devices, were investigated, and two widely used research grade (RG)-SMPSs were compared to harmonize the measurement protocols. Methods: Pearson correlation analysis was performed to compare the relation between P-SMPS, CPC, and SAM and two common RG-SMPS. Results: For laboratory and engineered nanoparticle (ENP) workplaces, correlation among devices showed good relationships. Correlation among devices was fair in unintended nanoparticle (UNP)-emitting workplaces. This is partly explained by the fact that shape of particles was not spherical, although calibration of sampling instruments was performed using spherical particles and the concentration was very high at the UNP workplaces to allow them to aggregate more easily. Chain-like particles were found by scanning electron microscope in UNP workplaces. The CPC or SAM could be used as an alternative instrument instead of SMPS at the ENP-handling workplaces. At the UNP workplaces, where concentration is high, real-time instruments should be used with caution. There are significant differences between the two SMPSs tested. TSI SMPS showed about 20% higher concentration than the Grimm SMPS in all workplaces. Conclusions: For nanoparticle measurement, CPC and SAM might be useful to find source of emission at laboratory and ENP workplaces instead of P-SMPS in the first stage. An SMPS is required to measure with high accuracy. Caution is necessary when comparing data from different nanoparticle measurement devices and RG-SMPSs.
