분무연소합성법을 이용하여 나노크기의 물라이트(3Al$_2$O$_3$$.$2SiO$_2$) 콜로이드를 제조하였다. 연소반응을 위한 산화제로서 Al(NO$_3$)$_3$$.$9$H_2O$와 환원제(연료)로서 CH$_{6}$N$_4$O를 사용하였으며, 실리카 소스로서 콜로이드 실리카를 첨가하였다. 분무된 액적들의 착화를 위해 연소반응기의 온도를 80$0^{\circ}C$로 유지하였다. 액적의 응고에 의한 액적크기 성장을 억제하기 위하여 금속 스크린 필터를 사용함으로써 액적의 개수 농도를 감소시켰으며, 에어로졸 입자의 체류시간을 2.5초로 유지하여 열 유체의 흐름을 층류로 유도하였다. 제조된 입자들의 모양은 모두 구형이었으며, 평균입자크기는 130nm이었다 XRD와 TEM 분석 결과 각각의 초미립자들은 정량화합물의 물라이트 결정성을 나타내었다.

An increasing number of recent studies have focused on the impact of particulate matter on human health. As a model for atmospheric particulate inhalation, we investigated the effects of inhaled carbon black nanoparticles (CBNP) on mice with bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis. The CNBPs were generated by a novel aerosolization process, and the mice were exposed to the aerosol for 4 hours. We found that CBNP inhalation exacerbated lung inflammation, as evidenced by histopathology analysis and by the expression levels of interleukin-6 protein, fibronectin, and interferon-${\gamma}$ mRNAs in lung tissues. Notably, fibronectin mRNA expression showed a statistically significant increase in expression after CBNP exposure. These data suggest that the concentration of CBNPs delivered (calculated to be $12.5{\mu}g/m^3$) can aggravate lung inflammation in mice. Our results also suggest that the inhalation of ultrafine particles like PM 2.5 is an impactful environmental risk factor for humans, particularly in susceptible populations with predisposing lung conditions.

This study was performed to investigate the effect of oral administration of GSRE against the asthma. Asthma was induced to Balb/c mouse by i.p. injection and aerosol immunization with ovalbumin. It was observed the change of the eosinophil number in the BALF. Concentrations of IL-4, IL-5 in BALF and splenocyte were assessed by ELISA, IgG and IgE from serum were calculated by same method. Concentration of IL-4 in splenocyte was significantly decreased in GSRE group compared with control group. Concentrations of IL-5 from BALF and splenocyte were significantly decreased in GSRE group compared with control group, respectively. Level of IgE in serum was significantly decreased in GSRE group compared with control group, but not IgG. We found that the effect of GSRE extract in asthma was implicated in reductions of IL-4, IL-5 released from Th2 cell, and decreses of IgE, from plasma cell. These findings suggest that GSRE extract can produce anti-asthmatic effect, which may play a role in allergen-induced asthma therapy.

건조물문화재의 생물피해 관련하여 먼저 기상요소를 직접 측정하고 국지 기상 특성을 파악하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 본 연구는 목조 건축물, 석조 건축물 생물피해가 확인되고, 지역적 기후 차이가 뚜렷한 충북 보은 법주사와 전남 순천 선암사를 비교 대상으로 기상요소 10가지 항목을 관측하였고 미세먼지(TSP)를 포집 분석하였다. 또한, 기상요소-미세먼지 간, 기상요소 간 상관성 분석을 실시하였다. 법주사의 국지 기상 특성은 일사량, 자외선량, 증발량이 많고 풍속이 빠르며 미세먼지 농도가 높은 반면 선암사의 국지 기상 특성은 기온, 습도, 이슬점온도, 기압이 높고 강수량, 강수일수가 많았다. 미세먼지의 원소분석결과, 선암사는 해염 입자가 추가로 발견되었고, 법주사에 비해 생체 입자와 철함유입자의 월별 빈도가 높게 나타났다. 상관성 분석 결과, 법주사는 풍속이, 선암사는 습도가 주요 기상인자로써 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 이상의 결과로 선암사의 기상 특성은 각종 생물 성장에 유리하므로 건조물문화재의 생물학적 손상에 영향이 더 클 것으로 예상된다.

Various seeding materials for cloud seeding are being used, and sodium chloride powder is one of them, which is commonly used. This study analyzed the experimental results of multi-aircraft cloud seeding in connection with Republic of Korea Air Force (CN235) and KMA/NIMS(Korea Meteorological Administration/National Institute of Meteorological Sciences) Atmospheric Research Aircraft. Powdered sodium chloride was used in CN235 for the first time in South Korea. The analysis of the cloud particle size distributions and radar reflectivity before and after cloud seeding showed that the growth efficiency of powdery seeding material in the cloud is slightly higher than that of hygroscopic flare composition in the distribution of number concentrations by cloud aerosol particle diameter (10 ~ 1000 ㎛). Considering the radar reflectivity, precipitation, and numerical model simulation, the enhanced precipitation due to cloud seeding was calculated to be a maximum of 3.7 mm for 6 hours. The simulated seeding effect area was about 3,695 km², which corresponds to 13,634,550 tons of water. In the precipitation component analysis, as a direct verification method, the ion equivalent concentrations (Na⁺, Cl^-, Ca²⁺) of the seeding material at the Bukgangneung site were found to be about 1000 times higher than those of other non-affected areas between about 1 and 2 hours after seeding. This study suggests the possibility of continuous multi-aircraft cloud seeding experiments to accumulate and increase the amount of precipitation enhancement.
