East Asia is characterized by anthropogenic emissions resulting from the large population and fast economic growth of this region. Since the prevailing wind is westerly and northwesterly, emissions from Ul-jin can be expected to contribute to acidic deposition increase in downwind direction. Aerosols collected at the near coast site, Uljin geun, gyungbook and were analyzed for $NH_4{^+}$, $Mg^{2+}$, $Na^+$, $Ca^{2+}$, $Cl^-$, $SO_4{^{2-}}$, and $NO_3{^-}$ from Aug. 2012 to Feb. 2013. The seasonal averaged aerosol concentration showed the highest potassium and calcium ion in winter and the highest ammonium ion due to a meadow and high solar intensity in summer. Sodium and chloride ion showed the same ratio all seasons and sulfate and nitrate species showed the maximum value in winter Chemical components of aerosols collected at the near coast site, Uljin geun, gyungbook were lower by 16 to 73% than those collected at other similar environment site such as kanghwa, yangyang. Comparing air quality data at the near coast site, Uljin geun, gyungbook, There was found that Uljin coast site is less influenced by the sea salts(potassium, magnesium, calcium) and nss-$SO_4{^{2-}}$ percentage is 3~13% higher than similar condition site.

Particle collection characteristics of the MOUDI cascade impactor has been studied for coarse particles in the range of 2 to 20$mu extrm{m}$ in aerodynamic diameter. A vibrating orifice aerosol generator was empolyed to generate monodisperse test aerosols. The oleic acid and sodium chloride(NaCl) particles were used as test aerosols. Aluminum foil and Teflon filter were selected as impaction media. The sampling flow rate was changed from 25 to 35L/min. Particle collection efficiency for single stage was examined for liquid particles. The stage response was obtained experimentally for the cascade impactor composed of three stages and a backup filter. The results showed that most of particle collection efficiencies measured in this work are similar to the efficiency curves obtained by Marple et al.(1991). For particles less than cut-off size of the stage, the collection efficiencies of solid particles are similar to those of loquid particles. However, the collection efficiency of solid particles decreases with mereasing particle diameter for the particles greater than the actual cut-off size of the impactor. The particle collection efficiency increases with increasing sampling flow rate at the same particel size. However, the collection efficiency curves seem not to be greatly shifted with the flow rate. The stage responses obtained by direct measurements in this work are in good agreement with those derived from the collection efficiency curves for single stage.

전북의 전주, 군산, 남원지역에서 주기적으로 채수된 강수(bulk deposition)를 지화학적으로 고찰하고 Sr과 Pb 동위원소의 환경추적인자로서의 적용 여부를 알아보고자 하였다. 강수는 pH $4\~7$의 약산성내지 산성을 띄며, 건기에는 높고, 우기에는 자연산성도 수준인 5.0수준을 유지한다. 강수에 의한 희석작용으로, 우기이후의 강수는 TDS 및 EC도 낮아지나 다시 건기에 들어서면서 상승한다. 겨울철에는 난방연료의 연소에 의해 $SO_4$과 $NO_3$이 높은 함량을 보이며, 여름철은 $CO_2$가스의 영향으로 탄산농도가 약간 높은 경향을 보인다 양이온은 겨울철에 Na의 함량이 높고, 봄부터 여름철에는 Ca의 함량이 높게 나타난다. 지리산에 인접한 남원이 전반적으로 낮은 EC 및 TDS값을 가지고 인구밀집과 도시화가 심한 전주지역은 대체로 높다. 남원지방은 다량의 수목의 호흡작용에 의한 대기중 이사화탄소의 함량이 높아 여름철 탄산 농도가 타 지역에 비해 높다. 군산지역은 해염의 영향으로 대기중 Cl의 함량이 높다. Al, Cu, Zn은 TDS와 상관계수 0.5이상의 양호한 상관관계를 보여 이들 원소가 미량원소 중 강수의 화학적 성상에 영향을 미치는 원소들 이라고 볼 수 있다. $^{87}Sr/^{86}Sr$ 값은 0.7109-0.7128으로 세 지역 모두 유사하며, 해수보다 다소 높은 값을 보이고 있어 주변의 토양입자, 꽃가루, 기타 인위기원의 에어로졸 등의 영향이 있음을 암시하나 지역 전반에 걸친 자세한 동위원소적 고찰이 있어야만 보다 정확한 해석이 가능할 것으로 생각된다. 강수의 Pb 동위원소 조성도 세 지역 모두 유사하며, 서울 에어로졸의 Pb 동위원소 조성 범위내에 포함되고 북경의 에어로졸 범위에서는 약간 벗어나 있다. 이는 한반도내의 대기 중에 함유되어 있는 Pb은 모두 유사한 기원으로 휘발유의 연소에서 발생하는 것으로 생각되며, 중국으로부터 기원한 Pb의 존재 가능성은 내포하고 있으나 그 기여율은 적을 것으로 보인다.

In this study, performance (particle removal efficiency and breathing resistance) of several commercially available face masks (electrostatic filter masks (KF80 certified), a nanofiber filter mask (KF80 certified), and an uncertified mask) with their filter structure and composition were evaluated. Also, effects of relative humidity (RH) of incoming air, water and alcohol exposure, and reusability on performance of face masks were examined. Monodisperse and polydisperse sodium chloride particles were used as test aerosols. Except the uncertified mask filter, PM_2.5 removal efficiency was found to be higher than 90%, and the nanofiber filter mask had the highest quality factor due to the low pressure drop and high removal efficiency (nanofibers were arranged in a densely packed pore structure and contained a significant amount of fluorine in addition to carbon and oxygen). In the case of the KF80 certified mask, the removal efficiency was little affected when the RH of incoming air increased. When the mask filters were soaked in water, the removal efficiency of mask filters was degraded. In particular, the uncertified mask filter showed the highest removal efficiency degradation (26%). When the mask was soaked in alcohol, the removal efficiency also decreased with the greater degree than the water soaking case. The nanofiber mask filter showed the strongest resistance to alcohol exposure among tested mask filters. During evaluation of reusability of masks in real life, the removal efficiency of certified mask filter was less than 4% for 5 consecutive days (2 hours per day), while the removal efficiency of uncertified mask filter significantly decreased by 30% after 5 days.
