  • The objective of this study is to investigate the environmental impact of fine dust generated at the construction waste intermediate treatment plants, and to propose engineering data and measures to suppress the generation of fine dust to cope with the expected strengthened environmental regulations of the government. The following study conclusions are drawn. 1) T he maximum concentration of fine dust in the workplace was measured as 160㎍/m3 from the crushing operation followed by the point of waste unloading, where focused suppression plan of the fine dust generation is needed in the future. 2) Fine dust concentrations of 113㎍/m3 in wet road conditions and 50㎍/m3 in dry conditions were measured, indicating that fine dust could be reduced by 50% with watering alone. 3) The effect of distancing from the dust source was studied. PM10 during operation of the workplace was measured as about 25㎍/m3 higher than those of the neighboring areas. Whereas there was no significant difference in case of PM2.5 between workplace and neighboring areas. 4) The measurement results of the heavy metal contents showed that these metals did not affect neighboring areas.

  • We firstly present the unified Far-UV continuum map of the Taurus-Auriga-Perseus (TPA) complex, one of the largest local associations of dark cloud located in (l, b)=([154,180], [-28, -2]), by merging both FIMS and GALEX. The FUV continuum map shows that dust extinction correlate well with the FUV around the complex. It shows strong absorption in FUV toward the dense Taurus cloud while it does not in California cloud. It turned out that it is related to the relative location of each cloud and Perseus OB2 association. We also present some results of dust scattering simulation based on Monte Carlo Radiative Transfer technique (MCRT). Through this dust scattering simulation, we have derived the scattering parameter for this region, albedo(a)=$0.42^{+0.05}{_{-0.05}}$, asymmetry factor(g)=$0.47^{+0.11}{_{-0.27}}$. The optical parameters we obtained seem reasonable compared to the theoretical model values ~0.40 and ~0.65 for the albedo and the phase function though the phase function is rather small. Using the result of simulation, we figured out the geometries of each cloud in the complex region, especially their distances and thicknesses. Our predictions from the results are in good agreement with the previous studies related to the TPA complex. For example, the Taurus cloud is within ~200pc from the Sun and the Perseus seems to be multi-layered, at least two. The California cloud is more distant than the other cloud on average at ~350 pc and Auriga cloud seems to be between the Taurus cloud and the eastern end of the California cloud. We figured out that across the TPA complex region, there might be some correlation between the LSR velocity and the distance to each cloud in the complex.

  • In this study, a dust inhibitor for road dust was prepared by using molecular structure, molecular weight, viscosity, hydrophilicity, swelling, wetting and moisturizing properties of natural polysaccharide which is widely used as food and cosmetic materials. Various dust control effects were confirmed and superior results were obtained than simple water spraying and synthetic for control(PVA). In addition, the comparison of water evaporation, scattering inhibition rate, Field test, and determining acute lethality of effluents to Daphnia magna were studied and the safety of soil and water quality was studied. The availability of the dust inhibitor was confirmed.

  • This paper presents the prediction model of attenuation characteristics of satellite communication signals operating in the range from 1 to 20GHz, associated with the effects of the Asian Dust. And this paper analyze the effects of the Asian Dust in theory that dust particles size and density, OPC, signal levels, exponentail distribution and the permittivity. The prediction model of the dust attenuation was got, combining the formula of the complex dielectric constant of Asian dust. Expressions for specific attenuation and attenuation are derived in terms of the height, visibility. Therefore it make an investigate to the prediction model of attenuation characteristics continuously.

  • We observed the Class I protostar TMC-1A in polarized dust emission at 1.3 mm at a spatial resolution of ~40 au using ALMA. Previous observations revealed a disk (r~100 au), surrounded by an infalling envelope, and a CO outflow going in the north-south direction in TMC-1A. Our observations detected polarized dust emission in a central region (r~50 au) and ~100 au north and south of the central protostar. The former polarization is likely due to self-scattering because of the polarization direction along the disk minor axis, the polarization fraction independent of Stokes I, and a high optical thickness. The latter polarization is roughly in the outflow region. The position and direction, particularly in the north, imply multiple possible mechanisms: magnetically or mechanically aligned dust grains in the outflow or in an accretion flow.

  • In this study, the status and characteristics of fine dust and its impact on neighboring areas were investigated to proactively respond to the government's environmental regulations expected in the future and to minimize the damage by the fine dust generated at construction waste intermediate treatment plants. In addition, since there are no such plants that can affect the surroundings with no houses or other waste treatment sites nearby, an independently located construction waste intermediate treatment plant was selected to compare the characteristics of fine dust with that from the construction waste intermediate treatment sites located in the downtown area. The conclusions of the study are as follows. (1) The measurement results of PM10 at 4 points in the plant showed that the location where the crushing facility was operating had an elevated level of fine dust at 80㎍/m3 on average and a maximum of 124㎍/m3, and the level rose to 110㎍/m3 at points where vehicles frequent. (2) The PM2.5 measurement results inside the plant showed that the average concentration of the reference point was 16㎍/m3 and the maximum value was 20㎍/m3, which was distributed within the management standard. (3) It was found that the average concentration of PM10 in the nearby area ranged from 28 to 38㎍/m3, which was similar to or lower than 36㎍/m3 of the reference point. Therefore, the concentration of the fine dust generated in the plant had a negligible effect on the increase in concentration of fine dust in nearby areas. (4) The heavy metal contents were measured from the filter paper collected from the plant. The PM10 was found to be about 14 to 26ng/m3, and PM 2.5 was 25 to 28ng/m3, which was the average of domestic atmospheric concentrations. (5) The SEM-EDX analysis results showed that the PM10 contained Si and O around 40% similarly for both. The SiO2, a component of silica occupied the most and C was present as CaCO3, which was assumed to be a limestone component. The remaining components included NaO, Al2O3, and CaO as trace oxides. (6) The SEM-EDX analysis results showed that the PM 2.5 contained 5 to 7% of Cl, which is a chlorine ion, and a small amount of K was detected at 2.51% in the sample from the shutdown plant.

  • We present the results of dust scattering simulations carried out for the Orion Eridanus Superbubble region by comparing them with observations made in the far-ultraviolet. The albedo and the phase function asymmetry factor (g-factor) of interstellar grains were estimated as well as the distance and thickness of the dust layers. The results are: 0.39-0.45 for the albedo and 0.25-0.65 for the g-factor, in good agreement with previous determinations and theoretical predictions. The distance of the assumed single dust layer, modeled for the Orion Molecular Cloud Complex, was estimated to be -110 pc and the thickness ranged from -130 at the core to -50 pc at the boundary for the region of the present interest, implying that the dust cloud is located in front of the Superbubble. The simulation result also indicates that a thin (-10 pc) dust shell surrounds the inner X-ray cavities of hot gas at a distance of -70-90 pc.
