Most particles capable of reaching the thoracic region of humans are in the size range below 10$\mu$m in diameter. Particles with a diameter smaller than 2.5 $\mu$m are deposited in large amounts in the alveolar region during mouth inhalation. The hazard caused by fine particles depends on their chemical composition and the site within the human respiratory system where they are deposited(Hinds, 1982). Therefore, the concentration of air borne fine particles is an important parameter for the evaluation of the degree of hazard in an atmospheric environment. (omitted)

Recently, the protection of construction is demanded with environmental pollution. These protect modes are use of concrete admixture, coat of protective polymer and impregnate of surface with chemicals etc. The most widely used impregnation is economical and effective. The define of Impregnation for construction protect is reacted in and consolidated substrate after absorbed. The impregnation agents are Polyesters, Acrylic monomers, Epoxy and Silicone derivatives. Commonly, because the Silane has good water repellency and environmental advantages that it widely used to water proofing agents, dampproofing agents and absorption reducer for concrete of bridges. When application of Silane, it occurs pollution and harmfulness as included organic solvent. The manufactures have tired to emulsification of Silane for the reducing of the defects. The Silane emulsion is vary unstable and does not stored long periods, and it is diminished in good properties with internal reaction. In this study we tried to emulsification of Silane for effectiveness improvement and reduce pollution and hazard and discussed properties variation of emulsion. The Silane emulsions are achieved emulsifying with W/O and O/W type surfactants. It used 0.24% PVA as protective colloid and stable phase is creamy. The creamy Silane emulsion performance as the penetration depth and water absorption rate are above 4 mm and below 0.1. It stable about 6 month at room temperature.

In today's civilization, it can be impossible to prevent disasters that cause large-scale human and material harm, and the environmental industry is not excepted from this. Over the last 50 years, several large and small environmental health catastrophes have occurred in Korea. Notable instances include the phenol pollution accident in the Nakdong River, the Hebei Spirit oil spill in Taean, Chungcheongnam-do, and the humidifier disinfectant disaster. Looking at these instances, it is clear that the government failed to prevent similar incidents and accidents after the tragedies. The government created and executed different policies to prevent such incidents and accidents, but the majority of them were highly fragmented. It is understandable that depending on the political and social level of the society in which the environmental health hazard incident/accident happened, the investigation of the cause, countermeasures, and policy reaction may differ. To put it another way, the more authoritarian and non-democratic a political social system is, the more likely it is to cover up occurrences and accidents without a deep examination. This is in line with the members of society's level of political awareness and acknowledgment of the importance of life and safety. In 1985, when the Onsan pollution disease was discovered, and in 2011, when we recognized the realities of the humidifier disinfectant disaster, South Korea's political and social systems were entirely different.

To prepare measures for practical policy utilization and the control of heavy metals, hazard control related institutions by country, present states of control by country, and present states of control by heavy metals were examined. Hazard control cases by heavy metals in various countries were compared and analyzed. In certain countries (e.g., the U.S., the U.K., and Japan), hazardous substances found in foods (e.g., arsenic, lead, cadmium, and mercury) are controlled. In addition, the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) recommends calculating the provisional tolerable weekly intake (PTWI) of individual heavy metals instead of the acceptable daily intake (ADI) to compare their pollution levels considering their toxicity accumulated in the human body. In Korea, exposure assessments have been conducted, and in other countries, hazardous substances are controlled by various governing bodies. As such, in Korea and other countries, diverse food heavy metal monitoring and human body exposure assessments are conducted, and reducing measures are prepared accordingly. To reduce the danger of hazardous substances, many countries provide leaflets and guidelines, develop hazardous heavy metal intake recommendations, and take necessary actions. Hazard control case analyses can assist in securing consumer safety by establishing systematic and reliable hazard control methods.

The rapid development in modern industrialization pollutant the water and atmospheric air across the globe that have a major impact on the human and livings health. In worldwide, every country government increasing the importance to improve the outdoor air pollution monitoring and control to provide quality of life and prevent the citizens and livings life from hazard disease. We proposed the environmental dust level detection method for outdoor facilities using sensor fusion technology to measure precise micro-dust level and monitor in realtime. In this proposed approach use the camera sensor and commercial dust level sensor data to predict the micro-dust level with data fusion method. The camera sensor based dust level detection uses the optical flow based machine learning method to detect the dust level and then fused with commercial dust level sensor data to predict the precise micro-dust level of the outdoor facilities and send the dust level informations to the outdoor air pollution monitoring system. The proposed method implemented on raspberry pi based open-source hardware with Internet-of-Things (IoT) framework and evaluated the performance of the system in realtime. The experimental results confirm that the proposed micro-dust level detection is precise and reliable in sensing the air dust and pollution, which helps to indicate the change in the air pollution more precisely than the commercial sensor based method in some extent.

도시화는 토지이용의 고도화 및 오염물질의 극대화를 초래한다. 일반적으로 도시지역은 상업, 주거, 산업, 공공지역 등과 복합적 토지이용지역과 도로, 주차장, 교량 및 공원과 같은 단일 토지이용 지역으로 형성된다. 이러한 지역에서의 인간과 차량의 활동은 도시지역의 모든 공간을 인근 수계 및 수생태계에 심각한 영향을 끼치게 하는 비점오염원으로 나타나게 한다. 도시지역의 다양한 토지이용은 건축물, 주차장 또는 도로 및 조경공간으로 세분류 될 수 있으나, 강우시 유출되는 비점오염원은 도로와 주차장으로 유출되기에 이러한 토지이용 지역을 관리함으로써 도시 비점오염물질의 효율적 저감이 이루어 질 수 있다. 도로와 주차장은 많은 차량의 운행과 인간의 활동으로 인하여 다양한 비점오염물질의 축적과 유출이 발생하고 있으며, 그 중에서 중금속과 입자상 물질이 주요 오염원으로 나타나고 있다. 이러한 비점오염원은 비점오염저감시설을 통하여 저감할 수 있으나, 강우의 특성에 영향을 크게 받고 있으며 유출특성의 불확실성이 높아 관리에 어려움을 겪고 있다. 특히 모니터링을 통한 기초자료의 부족은 부하량 예측, 저감메커니즘 및 저감시설 선정을 어렵게 하고 있다. 현재 토지이용에서의 부하량 예측에는 7개의 세분류 토지지목으로 형성된 토지이용별 오염원단위를 사용하고 있으나, 정확성이 낮아 새로운 원단위 산정을 위한 다양한 연구가 수행중이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 교통과 관련된 토지이용 지역에서의 모니터링을 수행하여 원단위를 제시함으로써 효율적 포장지역 원단위 산정에 기여하고자 한다. 본 논문에서는 고속도로, 휴게소, 영업소, 주차장 및 교량을 포함하는 9개 지점에서의 모니터링 결과를 해석하고자 하며, 최종적으로 오염물질 원단위를 제시할 것이다.

Objectives : The exposure to particulate air pollution during the pregnancy has reported to result in adverse pregnancy outcome such as low birth weight, preterm birth, still birth, and intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR). We aim to assess whether prenatal exposure of particulate matter less than 10 (m in diameter ($PM_{10}$) is associated with preterm birth in Seoul, South Korea. Methods : We included 382,100 women who delivered a singleton at 25-42 weeks of gestation between 1998 and 2000. We calculated the average PM10 exposures for each trimester period and month of pregnancy, from the first to the ninth months, based on the birth date and gestational age. We used three different models to evaluate the effect of air pollution on preterm birth; the logistic regression model, the generalized additive logistic regression model, and the proportional hazard model. Results : The monthly analysis using logistic regression model suggested that the risks of preterm birth increase with PM10 exposure between the sixth and ninth months of pregnancy and the highest risk was observed in the seventh month (adjusted odds ratio=1.07, 95% CI=1.01-1.14). We also found the similar results using generalized additive model. In the proportional hazard model, the adjusted odds ratio for preterm births due to PM10 exposure of third trimester was 1.04 (95% CI=0.96-1.13) and PM10 exposure between the seventh month and ninth months of pregnancy was associated with the preterm births. Conclusions : We found that there were consistent results when we applied the three different models. These findings suggest that air pollution exposure during the third trimester pregnancy has an adverse effect on preterm birth in South Korea.

수질오염총량관리제에서는 다양한 토지에서 발생하는 비점오염물질의 부하량 산정을 요구하고 있다. 현재 수질오염총량관리제에서 사용되고 있는 토지이용별 오염물질 원단위는 1999년도에 제정된 7가지 지목별 원단위를 사용하고 있으나, 강우량의 고려없이 산정된 값이기에 적용과정에서 과다설계 등의 문제를 나타내고 있다. 따라서 환경부는 다양한 강우사상에서 수행된 모니터링 결과를 이용하여 토지이용별 원단위를 분리하기 위한 장기모니터링을 수행하고 있으며, 본 연구는 이러한 장기모니터링 결과의 일환으로 수행되고 있다. 특히 산림지역의 경우 자연초지와 함께 자연 상태 하천의 배경농도를 형성하는 오염원으로 인위적인 오염배출영향을 평가하기 위해서는 기본적인 유출특성 분석이 요구되고 있으나, 현재까지 연구가 미흡한 상황이다. 본 연구는 산림지역 중 활엽수림과 침엽수림을 대상으로 강우시 모니터링을 실시하여 비점오염물질의 유출특성을 파악하고 EMC를 산정하였으며, 향후 그 결과는 산림지역으로부터 유출되는 비점오염물질의 부하량 및 원단위 산정에 기초자료로 활용될 것이다.
