Benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene (BTEX) were well known as ozone precursors from photochemical reactions and contribute to the formation of photochemical smog which pose health hazards. Also, some of these compounds directly affect the human health due to their toxicity such as benzene. In this study, BTEX ratios and correlation of $C_2$-benzenes (xylenes, ethylbenzene) in vehicle exhaust from recreational vehicle (RV) and multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) were characterized using a chassis dynamometer. VOCs were collected by tedlar bag and a GC/MS system was used for their quantification. Among all of the BTEX, toluene has the highest concentration(more than 30% in composition of BTEX). The average ratio of toluene to benzene emissions (T/B ratio=2.2) was found in vehicle exhaust. The average m,p-xylene/ethylbenzene and m,p-xylene/o-xylene ratios were 1.0 and 3.0 respectively. As a result, it showed a good correlation between the $C_2$-benzenes ($R^2=0.98{\sim}0.99$). In the future, it can be used as a marker for effect evaluation to atmospheric environment by vehicle exhaust.

본 연구에서는 대기환경시료 및 현장조건에서 채취한 현장시료들 중, 악취성분 및 주요 VOC 성분들 중에서 여러 유형의 관리대상으로 지정 중인 benzene, toluene, p-xylene, styrene, methyl ethyl ketone의 농도분석 방식들을 비교하였다. 이때, GC/FID와 튜브를 연계한 F-T 분석방식과 GC/MS와 백(bag)을 연계한 M-B방식으로 같은 시료를 각각 분석하고 이들 결과 값을 비교하였다. 상관분석결과, toluene과 pxylene에서 F-T와 M-B방법간의 결과에서 큰 상관성을 보이는 것으로 나타났다(P < 1.4E-08). 양 기기간의 오차를 percent difference (PD)와 같이 산술적으로 구하여 평가한 결과, benzene과 toluene의 농도는 상대적으로 비슷한 경향을 보였다. 그러나 분석대상 성분들 간에 양 방식의 차이는 평균적으로 35%가 넘으면서 F-T와 M-B간의 오차가 일정 수준이상으로 존재하였다. 그리고 F-T/M-B ratio가 대부분 1 이하로 나타나면서, M-B의 결과 값이 F-T에 비해 상대적으로 크게 나타나는 경향을 보였다. 양 분석기기로부터 산출한 결과 값을 통계적으로 판단하기 위해, t-test를 실시하였다. 그 결과, 95% 신뢰수준에서 toluene, pxylene, styrene, methyl ethyl ketone 성분에서는 두 시스템간의 결과 값에 차이가 유의한 것으로 나타났다(P < 0.043). 그러나 전반적으로 양 분석기법의 차이에 따른 오차는 상당 부분 선택한 표준시료의 성상 및 백내부의 시료손실 등과 같은 요인에 크게 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다.

Hazardous volatile organic compounds (HVOCs) have been increasingly getting concern in urban air chemistry due to photochemical smog as well as its toxicity or potential hazards. In this study, we investigated their concentrations and the properties in tunnel, urban roadside and residential area. As a result, among 36HVOCs measured in this study, BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene) and dichlorodifluoromethane, 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene, trichlorofluoromethane were detected above the concentration of $1{\mu}g/m^3$ in every sampling site and the most abundant compound was toluene. The other compounds were detected at trace level or below the detection limit. In addition, we found that three CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons), such as CFC-12, CFC-11, CFC-113, were persistently detected because of the emission in the past. Toluene to benzene ratio (T/B) at tunnel and roadside were calculated to be 4.3~5.3 and at residential area 15.4, suggesting that the residential area had several emission sources other than car exhaust. The ratio of X/E (m,p-xylene to ethylbenzene) ratio was calculated to be 1.8~2.1 at tunnel, 1.7 at roadside and 1.2 at residential area, which means this ratio reflected well the relative photochemical reactivity between these compounds. Good correlation between m,p-xylene and ethylbenzene ($r^2$ > 0.85) were shown in every study sites. This indicated that correlation between $C_2$-alkylbenzenes were not severely affected by 3-way catalytic converter. In this study, it was demonstrated that the concentration of benzene was very low, compared with national air quality standard (annual average of $5{\mu}g/m^3$). Its concentration were $2.52{\mu}g/m^3$ in roadside and $1.34{\mu}g/m^3$ in residential area. We thought this was the result of persistent policy implementation including the reduction of benzene content in gasoline enforced on January 1, 2009.

We investigated the concentration degree of VOCs for ambient air in the air environment control area of Kyonggi-do in 2001. The VOCs showing higher concentration were in the ascending order of Toluene > n-Butane > 1-Butene > Benzene > n-Hexane. The concentration distribution ratio mentioned above showed almost same pattern in each city. The relative concentration ratio of Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene, Xylenes which are aromatic VOCs were 1 : 6.3 : 0.6 : 1.6. It was similar to the pattern in 1999 but different from the pattern in 2000. In the aspect of seasons, the highest B.T.E.X concentration was indicated in fall and in the aspect of areas, the higher concentration showed in the ascending order of Buchon > Ansan > Kwangmyong > Shihung > Sungnam. The average concentration of target VOCs for ambient air in the air environment control area of Kyonggi-do showed lower concentration than the metropolis of Seoul but higher concentration than Kwang-ju city and Dae-gu city. The amount of total VOCs was increasing, comparing with it last year and the more increasing tendency is anticipated so that it will need to establish the proper regulative criteria.

The significance of maintaining the soil environment is gradually increasing owing to soil and underground water contamination by petroleum leak accidents. However, the purification of soil is an expensive and more time-consuming process than the purification of contaminated water and air. Moreover, determining the source and people responsible for soil pollution gets often embroiled in legal conflicts, further delaying the cleanup process of the contaminate site. Generally, TPH (total petroleum hydrocarbon) pattern analysis is used to determine the petroleum species and polluter responsible for soil contamination. However, this process has limited application for petroleum products with a similar TPH pattern. In this study, we analyze the TPH pattern and specific sectional ratio (${\sim}C_{10}$, $C_{10}-C_{12}$, $C_{12}-C_{36}$, and $C_{36}{\sim}$) of various domestic petroleum products to identify the petroleum product responsible for soil contamination. Also, we perform BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene, xylene) quantitative analysis and determine B:T:E:X ratio using GC-MS. The results show that gasoline grade 1 and 2 have a similar TPH pattern but different BTEX values and ratios. This means that BTEX analysis can be used as a new method to purify soil pollution. This complementary TPH and BTEX method proposed in this study can be used to identify the petroleum species and polluters present in the contaminated soil.

This study assessed the characteristic of BTEX (Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene, Xylene) concentration ratios of industrial emission sources and the neighborhoods of industrial area, fuel such as gasoline, light oil, LPG, and similar gasoline, and ambient air in Daegu. The BTEX in aromatic compounds was the most abundant VOC in Daegu. The BTEX ratios were (0.2:2.6:1.0:1.8) for the neighborhoods of industrial area, (2.6:11.3:1.0:1.2) for residential area, (2.2:11.0:1.0:1.6) for commercial area, (1.0:14.9:1.0:1.3) for industrial area, and (0.2:2.6:1.0:1.8) for the neighborhoods of industrial area. Average BTEX ratios in Daegu were B/T ratio (0.1), B/EB ratio (1.5), B/X ratio (1.1), T/EB ratio (12.6), T/X ratio (10), EB/X ratio (0.7), Expecially, B/T ratio in Daegu was similar as the other cities, Bangkok, Manila, and Hongkong. Comparing other cities with B/T ratio, the main sources of VOC were vehicular exhaust and emission of industrial facilities. Furthermore, BTEX correlation were evaluated at the emission sources and regional areas. Results showed that correlation coefficient values of emission sources, fuels and neighborhood of industry were significant magnitude above 0.65(p<0.01). Also, there showed highly significant correlations among BTEX. Calculated correlation coefficients of ambient air sampling sites were $0.61{\sim}0.954$ for commercial /residential area and $0.613{\sim}0.998$ for industrial area. However, they showed different correlation between commercial/residental area and industrial area. It implied that the emission sources were different from each area.

접촉분해경유(LCO)와 dimethylsulfoxide(DMSO)수용액의 평형추출로부터 얻어진 추출상을 원료로 사용한 역추출에 의해 추출상중의 방향족의 회수를 검토했다. 역추출 용매의 선정을 위해, Benzene, Toluene, m-Xylene(mX), n-Hexane(Hx)과 n-Octane(Ot)을 용매로 사용하여 추출상-용매간의 분배평형을 측정한 결과, 추출상중의 방향족의 회수면에서 Hx이 가장 적절한 용매이었다. 또, Hx을 용매로 사용하여 평형 역추출을 행해 방향족의 회수에 대한 조작인자의 영향을 검토했다. 방향족에 대한 분배계수는 용매/원료(추출상) 질량비(S/F)(S/F를 변화시켜 얻어진 추잔상 혹은 추출상중의 질량분율)에 관계없이 일정했으나 수율은 S/F가 증가함에 따라 증가했다. 조작온도는 방향족의 분배계수와 수율에 영향을 미치지 못했다. 나프탈렌류 성분(탄소수:10~12)간에는 탄소수가 많을수록 분배계수 및 수율이 컸다. 또한, 회분 교반조를 사용하여 역추출을 행해 방향족 성분의 물질이동 속도를 측정했다.
