The major objective of this study was to analyze the difference of the chemical characteristics of acid deposition in Quercus forests in Korea and Japan. The pH values of rainfall at the experimental forest of Kangwon National University (KS site) were higher than those at the Foresta Hills in Japan (JP site), and all chemical contents of throughfall and stemflow were much higher than those of rainfall in Quercus forest stands at the KS and JP site. The pH values, $Ca^{2+}$, $NO_3{^-}$ and $SO{_4}^{2-}$ concentration of throughfall and stemflow at the KS site showed seasonal variation. While at the JP site, the same pattern was shown in the pH values of throughfall and stemflow, however, did not show any difference among seasons. Also, the annual input of all nutrients in these two contrasting forests varied seasonally. These results can be used to predict the amounts of air pollutant that are washed off and leached by the rainfall and Yellow Sand (Asian dust), including NOx and SOx acid pollutants transported easterly from China in the spring. Therefore, it is necessary to quantify the inputs of dry and wet deposition throughout a full year to gain a more complete understanding of the effects of acid deposition on the nutrient cycles in these forest ecosystems.

본 논문에서는 대기로부터 유입되는 질소강하물이 육상생태계에 미칠 영향에 대해 살펴보았다. 질소강하는 산업화 및 화석원료의 사용(특히 자동차의 증가)과 집약적인 농업으로 인해 유럽과 북미를 중심으로 급격한 속도로 증가하고 있으면 한국도 이와 같은 증가 추세를 나타내고 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이에 따라 증가된 질소유입은 처음에는 육상생태계의 일차생산성을 증가 시키지만 장기적으로는 산림의 질소포화(Nitrogen Saturation)를 일으켜 산림의 쇠퇴나 생태계의 교란을 일으킬 수 있다. 주요 기작으로는 영양소의 불균형, 토양의 산성화, 독성이온의 유동화 등이 알려져 있다. 이와 더불어 질소강하의 증가는 토양 내 유기물 분해속도를 늦출 수 있으며, 유출되는 질산은 수생생태계의 부영양화를 야기할 수 있다. 마지막으로 이 문제와 연관되어 국내에서 진행해야 한다고 생각되는 연구주제 몇 가지가 제안 되었다.

The region of the respiratory tract where inhaled particles deposit can have important implications for the causation of local or systemic toxic effects. For most aerosols of occupational importance, respiratory tract deposition can be predicted from the aerodynamic diameter of the particles. With the advent of cascade impactors, particularly those of personal sampler size, the determination of the aerodynamic diameters of aerosols has become more common. Some limitations of cascade impactor use are well recognized (e.g., particle bounce and substrate overloading) and are generally correctable. However, two important limitations of the instruments may not be receiving adequate attention: relative humidity effects on potentially hygroscopic aerosols and the collection characteristics of fibrous aerosols as compared to their actual deposition site potential. The results of this study, when compared to results of previous controlled laboratory trials, suggest that, while potentially hygroscopic lead aerosols from lead acid battery plant operations do not appear to be affected by changes in plant environmental humidity levels, the potential - exists for significant size changes upon inhalation. Secondly, fibers were detected in aerodynamic size ranges that would be associated with deep lung deposition; however, upon microscopic examination, these same fibers would actually be predicted to deposit in the upper airways. This study suggests that the physicalchemical properties and morphological features of an aerosol should be carefully considered by industrial hygienists before cascade impactors are used in attempts to predict the effects of inhaled aerosols.

Leptin is the adipocyte-specific product of the obese gene and plays a major role in food intake and energy metabolism. Leptin research was mainly focused on mammalian species, but understanding of leptin and its function in poultry is very poor. In this study, the duck leptin gene was amplified using the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) from duck liver RNA. The cDNA fragment was inserted into the pET-28a expression vector, and the resulting plasmid was expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). Experimental mice were given an intraperitoneal injection of 10 mg/kg leptin dissolved in phosphate buffered saline (PBS), while the control mice were injected with PBS. The effect of leptin on food intake, body weight and fatty deposition in mice was detected. Sequence analysis revealed that duck leptin had a length of 438 nucleotides which encoded a peptide with 146 amino acid residues. The sequence shares highly homology to other animals. The coding sequence of duck leptin was 84 and 86% identical to human and pig leptin nucleotides sequence. Highest identity was with the rat coding sequence (95%). The identity of the amino acid sequence was 84, 82 and 96% respectively compared to that of the human, pig and rat. Results of SDS-PAGE analysis indicated that a fusion protein was specifically expressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3). The purified product was found to be biologically active during tests. Continuous administration of recombinant duck leptin inhibited food intake. Despite the decrease of food intake, leptin significantly induced body weight and fatty deposition. These changes were accompanied by a significant down-secretion of plasma glucose, cholesterol, triglyceride and insulin levels in mice. The observations provide evidence for an inhibitory effect of leptin in the regulation of food intake and for a potential role of duck leptin in the regulation of lipogenesis.

산성강하물이 단기간에 걸쳐 지표수의 산성화에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 1995년 5월부터 10월까지 외부오염원이 거의 없는 강원도 춘천시에 위치한 저수지를 선정하여 연구를 수행하였다. 연구지역 일대의 지질을 조사하고 산골짜기에서 저수지로 흐르는 작고 얕은 하천의 수질을 분석하였다. 강우량은 우량계를 이용하여 측정하였고 강하물은 자동포집기를 이용하여 포집하였다. 연구기간동안의 강우의 pH 범위는 3.81~5.77로 평균 4.8을 나타내었으며 전기전도도 (EC)는 5~1.89$\mu$S/cm로 평균 10.6$\mu$S/cm를 나타냈다. 음이온 중에서는 ${SO_4}^{2-}$의 강하량이 3,119.7 kg/$\textrm{km}^2$로 가장 많았고, 양이온 중에서는 $NH^{4+}$가 1,053.2 kg/$\textrm{km}^2$로 가장 많았다. 지표수의 pH는 중성 또는 약염기성으로 강우의 pH가 산성이었음에도 지표수의 산성화 현상은 관찰되지 않았다. 그러나 골짜기에서 흐르는 하천수를 측정할 때마다 측정지점의 고도가 낮아질 수록 pH 값은 증가하는 경향을 나타내어 물이 하류로 흘러가는 동안에 일어난 산성 또는 염기성물질로 인한 산염기반응의 영향을 보여주었다. 이 결과는 토양의 완충능력과 모암내에서의 중화능력을 각각 구별하여 조사할 필요성을 제시하였다.

The LB technique is one of the most powerful fabricating methods of organic ultra-thin film, which deposits a monolayer films in molecular level on the surface of the substrate. We have investigated the electrical characteristics of Myristic acid, Stearic acid and Arachidic acid LB films for horizontal direction to develop for the gas sensor. The optimum conditions for a film deposition were obtained by measurement of $\pi$-A isotherm. The status of the deposited film was confirmed by measurement of UV absorbance. We could distingished the difference of I-V characteristics for the fatty acid for the horizontal direction. The conductivity of fatty acid LB films for horizontal direction was 10$^{-7}$ ~ 10$^{-9}$ [S/cm] that mean like semiconductor.

The dry deposition velocities and fluxes of air pollutants such as SO2(g), O3(g), HNO3(g), sub-micron particulates, NO3(s), and SO42-(s) were estimated according to local meteorological elements in the atmospheric boundary layer. The model used for these calculations was the multiple layer resistance model developed by Hicks et al.1). The meteorological data were recorded on an hourly basis from July, 1990 to June, 1991 at the Austin Cary forest site, near Gainesville FL. Weekly integrated samples of ambient dry deposition species were collected at the site using triple-fiter packs. For the study period, the annual average dry deposition velocities at this site were estimated as 0.87$\pm$0.07 cm/s for SO2(g), 0.65$\pm$0.11 cm/s for O3(g), 1.20$\pm$0.14cm/s for HNO3(g), 0.0045$\pm$0.0006 cm/s for sub-micron particulates, and 0.089$\pm$0.014 cm/s for NO3-(s) and SO42-(s). The trends observed in the daily mean deposition velocities were largely seasonal, indicated by larger deposition velocities for the summer season and smaller deposition velocities for the winter season. The monthly and weekly averaged values for the deposition velocities did not show large differences over the year yet did show a tendency of increased deposition velocities in the summer and decreased values in the winter. The annual mean concentrations of the air pollutants obtained by the triple filter pack every 7 days were 3.63$\pm$1.92 $\mu\textrm{g}$/m3 for SO42-, 2.00$\pm$1.22 $\mu\textrm{g}$/m-3 for SO2, 1.30$\pm$0.59 $\mu\textrm{g}$/m-3 for HNO3, and 0.704$\pm$0.419 $\mu\textrm{g}$/m3 for NO3-, respectively. The air pollutant with the largest deposition flux was SO2 followed by HNO3, SO42-(S), and NO3-(S) in order of their magnitude. The sulfur dioxide and NO3- deposition fluxes were higher in the winter than in the summer, and the nitric acid and sulfate deposition fluxes were high during the spring and summer.

Long-range transport of air pollutants was simulated using Comprehensive Acid Deposition Model (CADM) and Yonsei University-Sulfuric Acid Deposition Model (YU-SADM). For the simulation, weather patterns that represent the four seasons were derived through a clustering analysis with 5-years of meteorological data. The simulation result showed that in spring, influenced by strong low pressure from China, air pollutants of moved to the Korean Peninsula. In summer, humid air moved into the Korean Peninsula across the Yellow Sea while the north pacific high pressure extended, making the concentration of air pollutants lower than that in the other seasons. In autumn, air pollutants were transported by the northwest wind caused by the movement of high pressure over the Yellow Sea, while in winter air pollutants were influenced by northwest winds from continental highs. The amount of air pollutants in each season showed that high amount of pollutants were transported in winter due to the strong northwest wind. The in-flows were 3 to 8 times higher than those of the other seasons, and out-flows were about as twice as high. The amount of wet deposition in summer and autumn increased significantly compared to the amount in the other seasons due to the increase of rainfall. Source-receptor relationship analysis for sulfur showed that 70 to 91 precent of the total deposition came from the self-contribution by the Korean Peninsula. In winter, contribution from China was about 25 percent of the total deposition which was higher amount than any other season.

대기 산성 강하물 : 삼림의 질소 포화 한국의 연평균 습성 질소 강하량은 12.78(범위: $7.28{\sim}21.05)\;kgN{\cdot}ha^{-1}{\cdot}yr^{-1}$이고, 이것에 건성 질소 강하량(43%)을 합하여 추정한 총질소 강하량은 18.26(10.41-30.10) $kgN{\cdot}ha^{-1}{\cdot}yr^{-1}$이 된다. 이 질소 강하량은 유럽과 북미 북동부의 질소 강하량과 비슷한 수준이다. 대기 질소 강하량이 많은 온대 삼림은 질소로 포화된다. 질소로 포화된 삼림은 계류수와 토양에 질산이온 ($NO_3^-$)과 질산태질소/암모늄태질소이($NO_{3}^{-}-N/NH_{4}^{+}-N$)의 비가 높아지고, 잎의 질소 농도가 높아지므로 N/P비, N/K비 및 N/Mg 비가 높아지는 것으로 보아 무기 영양소 교란이 일어나며, 상해와 병해에 걸리기 쉬워지고 세근과 근균의 활성이 낮아짐으로써 생산성이 낮아진다. 그러고 혐질소성 종이 호질소성 종에 의하여 대치된다. 질소로 포화된 토양에서는 온실가스인 메탄($CH_4$)의 흡수가 감소되고 일산화질소 (NO)와 아산화질소 ($N_{2}O$)의 배출이 증가되어 지구온난화를 촉진할 수 있다. 이 종설은 한국의 33장소에서 6년 동안 ($1999{\sim}2004$) 측정한 부피가중 연평균 습성 질소 강하량이 삼림의 질소 포화 수준에 달하고, 광릉시험림분수계와 그 밖의 삼림 계류수의 $NO_3$ 유출량으로 미루어 보아 한국의 삼림에 질소 포화의 징후가 나타났음을 제시하며, 문헌 자료를 통해서 외국의 삼림에서 일어나는 질소 포화의 징후를 체계적으로 논하는 데 목적이 있다.
