Because ammonia from livestock production may substantially contribute to environmental pollution, emissions from all possible sources (housing systems, manure storage, manure application, outside grazing) should be reduced. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of different bedding materials on ammonia emissions in a cow house. By applying a combination of four treatment types: treatment $1-T_1$ (sawdust (50%)+sawdust pellets (50%)), treatment $2-T_2$ (sawdust (50%)+corn stalk pellets (50%)), treatment $3-T_3$ (sawdust (100%)), and treatment $4-T_4$ (sawdust (50%)+palm kernel meal pellets(50%)) as bedding materials in a cow house, the effects of such treatments on ammonia flux were assessed in approximately one month. The magnitude of ammonia emissions (mg $m^{-2}\;min^{-1}$) varied in the following order: $T_1$(2.226), $T_4$(2.052), $T_2$(1.845), and $T_3$(1.712). The patterns of pH had a decreasing trend for all bedding treatments during the experiment, and there was no significant relationship with ammonia flux. The results reveal that the most important factor influencing ammonia emissions is the physical structure of the bedding types.

대기 및 해양적 요인들이 동해의 해면을 통한 열교환에 미치는 영향을 구명 하기 위하여, 해양의 열수지에 근거한 해석적인 모델을 만들고, 이 모델을 통하여 동해상 해면 열교환의 각 성분과 대기 온도의 연변화를 해석적으로 재현 (simulation) 하였다. 모델에 의한 이론적인 결과에 의하면, 동해에서 난류에 의한 열수송이 클수록 열복사, 잠열 및 현열의 방출이 증가한다. 그리고 표면수온이 증 가 함에 따라 잠열은 증가하지만, 역복사와 현열은 감소한다. 동해에서 연평균 수온이 1$^{\circ}C$ 증가하면 해상 기온의 연평균이 1.2$^{\circ}C$ 증가하는 효과를 가져오며, 해양의 저열량의 크기는 해면을 통한 열교환의 연변화에 지대한 영향을 미친다.

The results of HAPs emission data using TRI (Toxic Release Inventory), SODAM (Source Data Management system) were investigated and the emissions of 7 heavy metals from their sources and emission processes were also analyzed. Questionnaire for source data analysis as well as the stack sampling were carried out for 17 factories among 6 selected industrial types. The annual amount of emissions was estimated based on the measured concentration and flow rates. All sources were operated with high efficiency control devices and the concentration levels of all heavy metals were shown to be below 0.1 to of regulation standard. The highest emission source of heavy metals was steel manufacturing industry with the annual emission of 342.9 kg/yr and followed by hazardous waste incinerator, paint manufacturing, nonferrous metal manufacturing, rolling & press goods manufacturing and storage battery manufacturing. In the case of Hg, the emissions were quite significant from electric acros of steel manufacturing industry, although the concentration level was below the emission standard, showing the necessity of specific care for its management.

The total of 35 target VOCs (volatile organic compounds), which were included in the TO-14, was selected to develop a VOCs' source profile matrix of the Yeosu Petrochemical Complex and to test its collinearity by singular value decomposition(SVD) technique. The VOCs collected in canisters were sampled from 12 different sources such as 8 direct emission sources (refinery, painting, wastewater treatment plant, incinerator, petrochemical processing, oil storage, fertilizer plant, and iron mill) and 4 general area sources (gasoline vapor emission, graphic art activity, vehicle emission, and asphalt paving activity) in this study area, and then those samples were analyzed by GC/MS. Initially the resulting raw data for each profile were scaled and normalized through several data treatment steps, and then specific VOCs showing major weight fractions were intensively reviewed and compared by introducing many other related studies. Next, all of the source profiles were tested in terms of degree of collinearity by SVD technique. The study finally could provide a proper VOCs' source profile in the study area, which can give opportunities to apply various receptor models properly including chemical mass balance (CMB).

This study focused on the measurement of the actual charging state of ambient aerosol particles, which is important for understanding the intricate process of adverse health effects caused by particulate matter (PM). The net electrostatic charging state of $PM_{2.5}$ collected on filter media was measured in this study. The Faraday cage method and surface potential measurements were used in this study. The results showed that the polarities of the net charging state measured using these two methods were in agreement for 42 out of 48 samples (87.5%), and 36 samples (75%) were negatively charged. The filters were not significantly charged by friction between the filters and air not containing PM. Charge addition to or leakage from the filters was not observed over a two-month storage period. Net charging state of $PM_{2.5}$ collected on the filters was concluded to be negative in most cases, based on data's support of the assumption that aerosol charging state is not altered by the process of PM collection using filter.

반도체 산업에서 많은 종류의 화학물질 사용으로 인한 독성물질 누출과 화학물질간의 혼화에 따른 화재 폭발 등에 의한 화학사고의 위험성이 증가하고 있다. 화학물질의 혼화에 따른 반응성을 평가하는데 실험적 방법이 가장 신뢰성 있지만, 모든 화학물질을 실험을 통하여 평가하는 것은 시간적, 비용적인 제한이 있다. 본 연구에서는 반도체 산업에서 주로 사용되는 공정가스의 위험성 추정하기 위해 미국 NOAA(National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration)과 EPA에서 개발한 CRW(Chemical Reactivity Worksheet) 3.0 프로그램을 사용하여 공정가스의 반응성을 고찰하였다. 이들 연구 결과는 반도체산업의 공정가스의 혼화성에 따른 반응성 정보와 저장캐비닛의 가스 실린더 보관에 관한 KOSHA 기술지침 작성에 필요한 기초자료를 제시하고자 하였다.

In this study, we investigated the applicability of a short-term carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) passive sampler using turbidity change in a solution containing barium hydroxide ($Ba(OH)_2$). The mass of $CO_2$ introduced into the $Ba(OH)_2$ aqueous solution was strongly correlated ($r^2=0.9565$) to the change in turbidity caused by its reaction with the solution. The sampling rates calculated for 1 h and 24 h were $42.4{\pm}5.4mL\;min^{-1}$ and $2.3{\pm}0.3mL\;min^{-1}$, respectively. Both unexposed (blank) and exposed samplers remained stable during the storage period of at least two weeks. The detection limits of the passive sampler for $CO_2$ were 81.5 ppm for 1 h and 61.5 ppm for 24 h. Based on the results, the passive sampler using the change of turbidity in the $Ba(OH)_2$ aqueous solution appears to be a suitable tool for measuring short-term atmospheric concentrations of $CO_2$.

광릉 슈퍼사이트 내 원두부 소유역에서 지하수위변동법, 이온수지법, 수문곡선분리법 등 세가지 방법을 적용하여 지하수 함양률을 평가하고, 방법별 결과들을 비교하였다. 이를 위한 자료는 우기에 해당하는 2005년 6월부터 9월까지 취득하였다. 두 가지 다른 지하수위변동법으로는 각각 25.9%, 23.6%의 지하수 함양률이 산출되었고, 염소를 이용한 이온수지법은 평균 13.4%의 함양률이, 그리고 6개의 수문곡선과 염소 이온자료를 이용한 기저유출 분리법은 평균 14.0%의 순기저유출률이 산출되었다. 장기적으로 지하수 저장량의 변화가 없는 정류상태를 가정하는 이온수지법과 수문곡선 분리법에서 산출된 지하수 함양률이 지하수 함양으로 인해 지하수위의 상승과 저장량의 변화를 고려하는 지하수위변동법에서 산출된 지하수 함양률보다 작게 산정되었다. 따라서 수문순환의 동력학적 특성을 이해하는 측면에서는, 지하수위변동법에 의한 지하수 함양률 평가가 다른 방법들보다 우월함을 보인다.

This study investigates the effects of the gelatin concentration (10-40%, w/v), freezing temperatures (from $-20^{\circ}C$ to $-50^{\circ}C$) and freezing methods on the structural and physical properties of gelatin matrices. To freeze gelatin, the pressure-shift freezing (PSF) is being applied at 0.1 (under atmospheric control), 50 and 100 MPa, respectively. The freezing point of gelatin solutions decrease with increasing gelatin concentrations, from $-0.2^{\circ}C$ (10% gelatin) to $-6.7^{\circ}C$ (40% gelatin), while the extent of supercooling did not show any specific trends. The rheological properties of the gelatin indicate that both the storage (G') and loss (G") moduli were steady in the strain amplitude range of 0.1-10%. To characterize gelatin matrices formed by the various freezing methods, the ice crystal sizes which were being determined by the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) are affected by the gelatin concentrations. The ice crystal sizes are affected by gelatin concentrations and freezing temperature, while the size distributions of ice crystals depend on the freezing methods. Smaller ice crystals are being formed with PSF rather than under the atmospheric control where the freezing temperature is above $-40^{\circ}C$. Thus, the results of this study indicate that the PSF processing at a very low freezing temperature ($-50^{\circ}C$) offers a potential advantage over commercial atmospheric freezing points for the formation of small ice crystals.

A series of experiments using atmospheric-pressure non-thermal plasma coupled with transition metal catalysts were performed to remove ethylene from agricultural storage facilities. The non-thermal plasma was created by dielectric barrier discharge, which was in direct contact with the catalyst pellets. The transition metals such as Ag and $V_2O_5$ were supported on ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$. The effect of catalyst type, specific input energy (SIE) and oxygen content on the removal of ethylene was examined to understand the behavior of the hybrid plasma-catalytic reactor system. With the other parameters kept constant, the plasma-catalytic activity for the removal of ethylene was in order of $V_2O_5/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ > $Ag/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ > ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ from high to low. Interestingly, the rate of plasma-catalytic ozone generation was in order of $V_2O_5/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ > ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ > $Ag/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$, implying that the catalyst activation mechanisms by plasma are different for different catalysts. The results obtained by varying the oxygen content indicated that nitrogen-derived reactive species dominated the removal of ethylene under oxygen-lean condition, while ozone and oxygen atoms were mainly involved in the removal under oxygen-rich condition. When the plasma was coupled with $V_2O_5/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$, nearly complete removal of ethylene was achieved at oxygen contents higher than 5% by volume (inlet ethylene: 250 ppm; gas flow rate: $1.0Lmin^{-1}$; SIE: ${\sim}355JL^{-1}$).
