에어로졸 종류별 구분을 위하여, 2005년 한해 동안 동북아시아지역을 대상으로 MODIS 에어로졸 자료인 에어로졸 광학두께(AOT)와 미세입자 비율(FF)을 분석하였다. 동북아시아 (북위 $20\sim50$도, 동경 $110\simt50$도)의 해양에서 관측된 에어로졸 자료를 이용하였다. AOT와 FF의 상호관계를 이용하면 주요 3가지 대기 오염 에어로졸인 먼지 입자, 해염입자, 오염 입자를 구분할 수 있다. 먼지 입자의 경우 주로 높은 AOT (>0.3)와 낮은 FF(<0.65)의 특징으로 봄철 빈번히 발생한다. 2005년 봄철 평균 AOT에 대한 먼지 입자의 기여도가 24.0%로 다른 계절보다 큼을 알 수 있다. 주로 인위적으로 발생하는 오염입자의 경우 높은 FF(>0.65)와 넓은 AOT범위에서 관측되었다. 여름철 오염입자의 평균 AOT는 $0.31{\pm}0.05$이고 전체 AOT에 대한 기여도는 79.8%로 여름철 오염 입자에 의한 영향이 큼을 알 수 있었다. 해염입자의 특징으로는 대부분의 AOT가 0.1이하로 낮은 AOT(<0.3)값이 나타났으며 FF의 경우 먼지입자보다는 크고 오염입자보다는 낮은 범위의 값이 주로 나타났다. 계절적으로 봄철$(0.33{\pm}0.11)$에 가장 높은 AOT값이 나타났으며(FF; $0.66{\pm}0.21$), 가을철 가장 낮은 AOT$(0.19{\pm}0.05)$값이 나타낫다(FF; $0.60{\pm}0.14$). 공간분포 특징으로는 중국연안으로 갈수록 높아지는 AOT특징이 나타났고, 이는 편서풍대에 속하는 관측지역의 지형학적인 특징으로 인해 중국대륙의 공단지역에서 발생한 에어로졸의 이동 때문인 것으로 여겨진다.증권업자의 중개활동으로 간주되어야 한다. 채권 ETS의 중개 규모가 일정 수준을 넘어설 경우 거래소에 준하는 보고, 공시 및 감시 요건이 부과되는 것이 바람직하다. 다섯째, 채권시장의 효율성을 강화하기 위해서 채권 ETS에 대해서 적용되는 투명성 강화, 시장분할 방지, 공정거래 등에 대한 규제는 거래 대상의 특성에 따라서 탄력적으로 조정될 수 있어야 한다.\pm}8.93ppm,\;20.19{\pm}0.97ppm,\;15.19{\pm}1.66ppm,\;21.20{\pm}1.88ppm,\;15.71{\pm}0.91ppm,\;55.48{\pm}2.42ppm,\;52.12{\pm}2.44ppm,\;23.80{\pm}1.98ppm$ 그리고 $11.14{\pm}0.51ppm$인 것으로 나타났다(비타민 C의 $SC_{50}$ 값:$9.61{\pm}0.93ppm$). 특히 마테 추출물과 솔잎 추출물은 총 페놀 함량이 높으면서 DPPH 라디칼과 superoxide anion 라디칼을 동시에 효율적으로 포착하는 효능을 지니고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 마테와 솔잎의 상업적인 추출물은 기능성 항산화제로서 유용한 소재로 사용 가능 할 것으로 사료된다.트폴리오보다 약 5배정도의 높은 1개월 평균초과수익률을 실현하였고, 반전거래전략의 유용성을 충분히 발휘하기 위하여 장단기의 투자기간을 설정할 경우에 6개월에서 36개월로 이동함에 따라 6개월부터 24개월까지는 초과수익률이 상승하지만, 이후로는 감소하므로, 반전거래전략을 활용하는 경우 주식투자기간은 24개월이하의 중단기가 적합함을 발견하였다. 이상의 행태적 측면과 투자성과측면의 실증결과를 통하여 한국주식시장에 있어서 시장수익률을 평균적으로 초과할 수 있는 거래전략은 존재하므로 이러한 전략을 개발 및 활용할

This study analyzed mass concentrations of TSP, PM10 and PM2.5 and elemental constituents according to the isentropic backward trajectories of air parcel from Cheongwonin East Asia during the period January - October, 2011. Mass concentrations of the continental polluted airflow (CP) showed levels of TSP and PM10 mass concentrations higher than the continental background airflow (CB). Also, PM2.5 mass concentrations of anthropogenic fine particles ran higher in CP than in CB. The elemental constituents and elemental constituent ratio ended up varying depending on the origin of atmospheric aerosols generated. The average absolute content of elemental constituents reached its height in CB, the ratio of anthropogenically originating elements (PE) among the all elements (AE) analyzed marked a high in CP, and Mg+Na/AE reached its height in the oceanic airflow (OA). At the same time, TSP, PM10 and PM2.5 mass concentrations, the ratio of PM2.5/TSP and PE/AE element ratio ran higher in CP than CB. Episodes of large-scale transport of atmospheric pollutants as observed at Cheongwon were 8 cases and 22 days. The ratios of PM10, PM2.5 among TSP mass concentrations showed different results and the ratios of PM2.5 showed an increasing trend in the episodes of anthropogenic air pollution transport. Overall, dustfall episodes show a level of elemental constituents higher than those of anthropogenic air pollution.Dustfall episodes were observed to contain more of Fe, Al and Ca originating from continental soils and those of air pollution were observed to contain more of Zn, Mn, Cu and Pb. By difference in contents of absolute elemental constituents, episodes of anthropogenic air pollution showed a high PE/AE rate, and dustfall episodes a high SE/AE rate.

Little information on HUmic-Like Substances (HULIS) in ambient particulate matter has been reported yet in Korea. HULIS makes up a significant fraction of the water-soluble organic mass in the atmospheric aerosols and influence their water uptake properties. In this study 24-hr $PM_{2.5}$ samples were collected between December 2013 and October 2014 at an urban site in Gwangju and analyzed for organic carbon (OC), elemental carbon (EC), water-soluble OC (WSOC), HULIS, and ionic species, to investigate possible sources and formation processes of HULIS. HULIS was separated using solid phase extraction method and quantified by total organic carbon analyzer. During the study period, HULIS concentration ranged from 0.19 to $5.65{\mu}gC/m^3$ with an average of $1.83{\pm}1.22{\mu}gC/m^3$, accounting for on average 45% of the WSOC (12~ 73%), with higher in cold season than in warm season. Strong correlation of WSOC with HULIS ($R^2=0.91$) indicates their similar chemical characteristics. On the basis of the relationships between HULIS and a variety of chemical species (EC, $K^+$, $NO_3{^-}$, $SO_4{^{2-}}$, and oxalate), it was postulated that HULIS observed during summer and winter were likely attributed to secondary formation and primary emissions from biomass burning (BB) and traffics. Stronger correlation of HULIS with $K^+$, which is a BB tracer, in winter ($R^2=0.81$) than in summer ($R^2=0.66$), suggests more significant contribution of BB emissions in winter to the observed HULIS. It is interesting to note that BB emissions may also have an influence on the HULIS in summer, but further study using levoglucosan that is a unique organic marker of BB emissions is required during summer. Higher correlation between HULIS and oxalate, which is mainly formed through cloud processing and/or photochemical oxidation processes, was found in the summer ($R^2=0.76$) than in the winter ($R^2=0.63$), reflecting a high fraction of secondary organic aerosol in the summer.

최근 국내의 각종 시설들에서 경관과 여름철 물놀이를 위한 바닥분수 설치가 선호되어, 그 수가 연간 50% 이상 급증하고 있다. 본 연구는, 정량적 미생물학적 위해성 평가 방법으로, 아동이 바닥분수에서 물놀이를 하는 동안 Legionella spp.에 의한 감염 위해도가 어느 정도인지 정량 하였다. 용수 중 Legionella균의 농도를 $10^{-1}-10^6$ CFU/L로 상정하고, 공기 중으로 에어로졸과 함께 비산하게 되는 Legionella균의 농도와 노출시간, 호흡률의 분포, 폐까지 도달하는 에어로졸의 비율을 곱하여 아동들의 노출량을 산정하고, Legionella pneumophila의 위해도를 도출하는 것으로 알려진 지수함수 모델에 따라, 감염 위해도로 변환하였다. 최고 위험군은 뛰어다니면서 물놀이를 하는 신체가 큰, 혹은 연령이 높은 아동이었으며, 이들이 $10^4$ CFU/L 이상의 Legionella균이 존재하는 분수 용수를 1회 이상 이용 시 0.05 이상의 위해도가 발생하였다. 이 결과에 따르면, $10^3$ CFU/L 미만의 Legionella균 농도를 공중이용시설의 모든 배관용수에 대하여 허용하는 현행 질병관리본부의 레지오넬라증 관리지침은 타당한 것으로 판정된다. 그러나, 이 기준은 건강한 성인 대상으로는 적합하나 아동의 면역력이 낮은 점을 감안하지 않았으므로, 아동에게 적합한 감염위해도 모델을 연구하여, 보다 철저한 관리 기준을 적용할 필요성이 있다.

Didecyldimethylammonium chloride (DDAC) is used in many types of biocidal products including tableware, carpets, humidifiers, and swimming pools, etc. In spite of increased chances of DDAC exposure through inhalation, studies on the inhalation toxicity of DDAC are not common even though the toxicity of DDAC might be significantly higher if it were to be administered through routes other than the respiratory system. DDAC aerosols were exposed to Sprague-Dawley rats in whole body exposure chambers for a duration of 13 weeks. The Mass Median Aerodynamic Diameters of the DDAC aerosol were $0.63{\mu}m$, $0.81{\mu}m$, and $1.65{\mu}m$, and the geometric standard deviations were 1.62, 1.65, and 1.65 in the low ($0.11{\pm}0.06mg/m^3$), the middle ($0.36{\pm}0.20mg/m^3$) and the high ($1.41{\pm}0.71mg/m^3$) exposure groups, respectively. Body weight was confirmed to be clearly influenced by exposure to DDAC and mean body weight was approximately 35% lower in the high ($1.41{\pm}0.71mg/m^3$) male group and 15% lower in the high ($1.41{\pm}0.71mg/m^3$) female group compared to that of the control group. In the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid assay, the levels of albumin and lactate dehydrogenase had no effect on DDAC exposure. The lung weight increased for the middle ($0.36{\pm}0.20mg/m^3$) and the high ($1.41{\pm}0.71mg/m^3$) concentrations of the DDAC exposure group, and inflammatory cell infiltration and interstitial pneumonia were partially observed in the lungs of the middle ($0.36{\pm}0.20mg/m^3$) and the high ($1.41{\pm}0.71mg/m^3$) exposure groups. However, severe histopathological symptoms, including proteinosis and/or fibrosis, were not found. Based on the results of the changes in the body weight and lung weight, it is considered that the NOAEL (no-observed adverse effect) level for the 13-week exposure duration is $0.11mg/m^3$.

Purpose: The aerosol generated by ultrasonic scaler can contain bacteria or virus which can penetrate into body through respiratory systems of dentists, dental hygienist or patients. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of chlorhexidine digluconate as preoperative mouthrinse or lavage for ultrasonic scaler on the reduction of viable organisms in aerosol produced during periodontal treatment using ultrasonic scaler. Methods: 30 patients with moderate chronic periodontitis were included and divided into 3 groups: Control (no preoperative mouthrinse and tap water as lavage), CHG (preoperative mouthrinse with 0.1% chlorhexidine digluconate and tap water as lavage), CHL (no preoperative mouthrinse and 0.1% chlorhexidine digluconate as lavage). Each patient received scaling or subgingival curettage for 30 min. In CHG group, mouthrinse with chlorhexidine digluconate was performed for 1 min. before treatment. Before, during and after scaling or subgingival curettage, air sampling was performed for 7 min. each (1000 L/7 min.) with trypticase-soy agar plate. Agar plates were incubated in $37^{\circ}C$ aerobically. The numbers of colony-forming units (CFU) were counted and compared. Results: The numbers of CFUs of the samples obtained during treatment were $97{\pm}14.0$ in control, $73.1{\pm}14.9$ in CHG group and $44.5{\pm}9.0$ in CHL group. The difference among the 3 groups was determined to be statistically significant (one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni's correction, p-value: 0.0003). In contrast, the numbers of CFU of samples obtained before and after treatment were not significantly different among the groups. Conclusions: Chlorhexidine digluconate used as preoperative mouthrinse or lavage for ultrasonic scaler can reduce the microorganisms in aerosol produced during periodontal treatment using ultrasonic scaler. Less number of microorganisms were detected when chlorhexidine was used as lavage for ultrasonic scaler.

The radiative properties of atmospheric aerosol are determined by the mass and chemical characteristics, and optical properties such as aerosol optical depth (AOD), ngstr m parameter ( $\alpha$) and single scattering albedo (SSA). In particular these aerosol optical properties also determine surface temperature perturbation that may give some information in understanding the regional atmospheric radiative forcing. For understanding the radiative forcing and regional surce of aerosol, this paper summarizes and compares the aerosol optical properties results from and compares the atmospheric aerosol optical properties results from two different experiments: Anmyeon 2000 and Jeju 2001. Korea Global Atmosphere Watch Observatory (KGAWO) at Anmyeon island and ACE-Asia super-site at Gosan Jeju island have measured the radiations and aerosols since the year of 2000. The sites are located in the mid-west and south of Korea peninsula where it is strongly affected by the Asian dust coming from China region in every spring. Aerosol optical properties over both sites were measured through the ground-based sun and sky radiometers were analyzed for understanding the radiation and climate properties. Number concentration and chemical components of aerosol were additionally analyzed for the source estimation in the transportation. The frequency distributions of aerosol optical depth are rather narrow with a modal vaiue of 0.38 at both sites. However, the distributions of show one peak (1.13) at Jeju but two peaks (0.63 and 1.13) at Anmyeon. In the cases of Anmyeon, one peak around 0.63 corresponds to relatively dust-free cases, and the second peak around 1.13 characterizes the situation when Asian dust is presented. The correlation between AOD and resulted high correlation on the wide range with high values of optical depth at Anmyeon, otherwise a narrow range of with moderate to low AOD at Jeju. In dust free condition SSA decrease with waveleneth while in the presence of Asian dust SSA either stays neutral or increases slightly with wavelength. The change of surface temperature shows the stronger positive correlations with aerosol optical depth increase at Anmyeon than Jeju. In the chemical properties the aerosol are related to high concentrations in inorganic matters, SO$^4$, NO$_3$, CA2+ in fine and coarse.

우리나라의 대표적인 배경지역 측정소인 안면도의 지구배경관측소에서 20010년에 채취한 미세먼지(PM10) 시료에 대해 n-alkane과 수용성 유기성분(WSOC) 농도를 분석하였다. 우리나라의 또 다른 배경지역인 고산에 비해 봄철의 수용성 유기성분의 농도는 세배 정도 높았다. 안면관측소의 수용성 유기성분의 농도는 서울이나 아시아 다른 도시지역의 농도와 비슷한 수준이었다. 그러나 아시아 도시는 겨울에 농도가 높았으나, 안면관측소는 가을에 높아 배출원, 또는 생성원이 다른 것으로 보인다. 한편 n-alkane 성분의 농도는 안면관측소가 고산보다 약간 낮았고, 서울 등의 아시아 도시의 1/3-1/2 수준으로 낮았다. 그러나 고산은 자연적인 기원의 n-alkane 농도가 높은 반면에 안면관측소는 인위적인 n-alkane이 대부분이어서 대조를 보이고 있다. 따라서 안면관측소는 우리나라의 대표적인 배경지역임에도 불구하고 수용성 유기성분과 n-alkanes 농도측면에서는 배경지역과 도시지역의 특성을 갖고 있어, 인위적인 영향을 많이 받고 있는 것으로 보인다. 보다 상세한 배출원과 생성원 분석은 무기이온농도와 다른 유기성분 분석을 추가하여 이루어질 예정이다.

Particulate matter (PM) in the atmosphere has wide-ranging health, environmental, and climate effects, many of which are attributed to fine-mode secondary organic aerosols. PM concentrations are significantly enhanced by primary particle emissions from traffic sources. Recently, in order to reduce $CO_2$ and increase fuel economy, gasoline direct injected (GDI) engine technology is increasingly used in vehicle manufactures. The popularization of GDI technique has resulted in increasing of concerns on environmental protection. In order to better understand variations in chemical composition of particulate matter from emissions of GDI vehicle versus a port fuel injected (PFI) vehicle, a high time resolution chemical composition of PM emissions from GDI and PFI vehicles was measured at facility of Transport Pollution Research Center (TPRC), National Institute of Environmental Research (NIER), Korea. Continuous measurements of inorganic and organic species in PM were conducted using an Aerodyne high-resolution time-of-flight aerosol mass spectrometer (HR-ToF-AMS). The HR-ToF-AMS provides insight into non-refractory PM composition, including concentrations of nitrate, sulfate, hydrocarbon-like and oxygenated organic aerosol, and organic mass with 20 sec time resolution. Many cases of PM emissions during the study were dominated by organic and nitrate aerosol. An overview of observed PM characteristics will be provided along with an analysis of comparison of GDI vehicle versus PFI vehicle in PM emission rates and oxidation states.
