For the first time in the city of Riyadh, the formation of $O_3$ and its relationship with NO and $NO_2$ ($NO_x$) was investigated. Throughout the summer $O_3$, NO, and $NO_2$ were collected from three locations: residential, industrial, and rural areas. During the sampling period $O_3$ concentrations exceeded 1-hour local standards a few times yet remained consistent with the standards most of the time. The $O_3$ concentrations were observed highest in the rural location and lowest in the industrial area. The diurnal variation of NO followed a double peak: one in the morning and the other in the evening, representing the traffic pattern. Early morning NO peaks were observed in the rural location, which were attributed to the movement of NO from other locations. The $O_3$ concentrations depicted typical pattern, increasing after sunrise and reaching its maximum during midday. The highest $O_3$ concentrations were observed in the rural location followed by the residential and industrial. $NO_2$ photolysis rates were 3-4 times higher compared to other similar investigations, potentially due to intense solar radiation. A strong negative correlation was observed between $NO_x$ and $O_3$ values in the industrial location indicating photochemical activities around the industrial area were higher, likely due to additional $NO_x$ emissions from industries. Regression analysis of $NO_x$ and OX ($O_3+NO_2$) indicated that in residential and industrial locations at nighttime there were large $NO_x$ independent regional contributions which is attributed to VOCs. The Weekend Effect was observed in the city potentially due to the production of the OH radical and subsequent reactions with VOCs implying that the area is VOC-sensitive.

The effect of light intensity on the ozone formation and the aerosol number concentration during the photochemical reactions of ambient air was investigated in an indoor smog chamber. The smog chamber consists of a housing, 64 blacklights, and a $2.5-m^3$ reaction bag made of Teflon film. The bag was filled with the unfiltered ambient air in Seoul from January 10 to March 18, 2002. In this work, the photolysis rate of $NO_2$, $k_1$ was used as an index of light intensity. Three levels of light intensity were controlled by changing the number of blacklights turned on among 64 blacklights: $0.29min^{-1}$ (50%), $0.44min^{-1}$ (75%), $0.57min^{-1}$ (100%). The ozone concentration increased rapidly within 10 minutes after irradiation irrespective of light intensity, thereafter it increased linearly during the irradiation. The ozone production rate seems to be dependent on both the light intensity and the quality of ambient air introduced into the reaction bag. The change in aerosol number concentration also depended on both the light intensity and the ambient air quality, especially aerosol size distribution. Based on the initial ambient aerosol size distributions, the photochemical potential for aerosol formation and growth is classified into two cases. One is the case showing aerosol formation and growth processes, and the other is the case showing no apparent change in particle size distribution.

BACKGROUND: In korea, sweet persimmon(Diospyros kaki) cultivation is front to abiotic stresses such as frost damage at fruit maturing stage. The cold and rapid freezing stresses are most damaging to fruit production which is most actively progressed in late fall. This study was performed to evaluate the validity of chlorophyll fluorescence imaging(CFI) technology to determine the degree of frost damage in sweet persimmon fruits. METHODS AND RESULTS: The sweet persimmon fruits were measured separately for each treatment(15, 30, 60 minutes) at 24 hours after treatment(HAT) rapid freezing. A CFI FluorCam (FC 1000-H, PSI, Czech Republic) was used to measure the fluorescence images of the fruits. In rapid freezing for 15 minutes, photochemical parameters were not changed. However, in rapid freezing for 30 and 60 minutes, photochemical parameters were lowered. Especially, $F_m$, $F_v$, $F_v/F_m$ and ${\Phi}PSII$ values were declined under rapid freezing. CONCLUSION: In our study, it was clearly indicated that the rapid freezing could be a stress in sweet persimmon fruits. The CFI analysis and its related parameters are applicable as a rapid assessing technique for the determination of frost damage.

Volatile organic compounds emitted to the atmosphere can cause adverse effects on human health and participate in photochemical smog formation reactions. The destruction of a series of VOCs has been carried out by non-thermal plasma in other researches. And the characteristic of non-thermal plasma was operated at atmospheric pressure and low temperature. A new type non-thermal plasma reactor was investigated combined Glidarc plasma with water jet in this research. Also, it was found that the water-jet had an significant effect on the toluene removal efficiency. But too much water content does not favor toluene decomposition by decreasing of reaction temperature. The input toluene concentration, gas flow rate, water flow rate and specific energy input were used as experiment variables. The toluene removal efficiency, energy efficiency and specific energy input were 75.3%, 146.6 g/kWh and $1.12kWh/m^3$ at a water flow rate of 100 mL/min.

To investigate the effect of NOx and VOCs(volatile organic compounds) on the generation of high ozone episode, examined the hourly variations of ozone, NOx and VOCs concentrations, and calculated the ozone isopleth about maximum ozone concentrations using OZIPR which was presented by U. S. EPA at three sites in Busan. There was some difference by the sites, but decreasing VOCs concentration was effective for reduction of ozone at 22 July, the episode day of 2005. In the year 2006, the episode day was 8 August and the variations of NOx and VOCs concentration was little than variation of ozone. So it was estimated that the photochemical production of ozone was low than transportation of ozone. And the result of the OZIPR modeling was that decreasing VOCs concentration was effective for reduction of ozone.

Research for the synthesis of high-temperature polymers by the photochemical method has been carrying out. The use of cheap and available compounds (viz. benzene, its alkyl, aryl and halogen substitutes, furan and maleic anhydride) subject to ultra violet irradiation resulted in a single stage quantitative yield of about 40 new polymers: polyimide films, enamel insulation, molding materials. At present experimental & industrial lots of wire have been produced. Polymer insulation possesses temperature exploitation range (from -l00$^{\circ}C$ to +300$^{\circ}C$ ) without significant changing of properties. As a result, new polyimide lacquers for production of a wide number of technical articles, such as polyimide films, fibres, enamel-wires, press-materials have been synthesized. An application field of the polyimides in membrane technology, printing plate and optic electronics manufactures has been outlined.

가시광선을 이용하여 수용액 상태의 황화수소부터 수소를 제조하기 위해 사용되는 CdS 입자막전극의 광효율 개선과 광안정성 향상을 위해 막전극을 표면처리하였다. CdS 입자막 전극에 사용되는 CdS 입자는 $Cd{NO_3}{\cdot}9H_2O$와 $Na_2S{\cdot}4H_2O$의 혼합 침전법에 의해 제조하였다. 입자 결정상을 제어하기 위해 고압반응기에서 온도를 바꿔가며 12시간 동안 수열처리하였다. 이렇게 제조된 CdS 졸을 이용하여 캐스팅법으로 막전극을 제조하였으며, $TiCl_4$ 수용액을 사용하여 후처리 하였다. CdS 입자의 결정상은 XRD pattern으로 확인하였고, 평균 일차입자크기는 XRD pattern과 Scherrer 식에 의해 계산하였다. 입자 형상과 막 표면 형태는 SEM으로 관찰하였다. 수소 발생은 Xe램프가 장착된 연속흐름 광반응 장치를 이용하여 광전기화학적 방법과 광화학적 방법으로 각각 측정하였다. $TiCl_4$로 표면처리한 막전극의 광전류는 처리하지 않았을 때 보다 평균 2배가량 증가한 $4.0mA/cm^2$ 정도를 나타내었다. 수소발생량도 $2.4{\times}10^4mol/hr$ 정도로서 처리하지 않았을 때 보다 크게 증가하였다.

Biogas plant with anaerobic digestion is receiving high attention as a facility for both livestock waste treatment and electric power generation. Objective of this study was to perform life cycle assessment (LCA) of a biogas plant which incorporates swine and food waste (7:3) as source materials for biogas production. In addition, the biogas production process was compared with the prevalent composting method as a reference in the aspects of green house gas (GHG) reduction potential and environmental impact. The biogas method was capable of reducing 52 kg $CO_2$ eq. emission per ton of swine/food waste, but the composting process was estimated to emit 268 kg $CO_2$ eq. into air. The biogas method was evaluated as more beneficial to the environment by mitigating the impact on abiotic depletion potential (ADP), global warming potential (GWP), ozone depletion potential (ODP), eutrophication potential (EP), and photochemical ozone creation potential (POCP), but not to acidification potential (AP).
