  • 도시대기오염의 주요 배출원으로 알려진 자동차에서 배출되는 VOCs는 인체에 유해할 뿐만 아니라 대기 중에서 질소산화물(NOx)과 함에 광화학반응을 통한 오존 둥 2차 오염물질인 광화학산화물을 형성하는 전구물질로 작용하기 때문에 환경학적, 보건학적으로 매우 큰 영향을 미친다. 이러한 자동차 배출 VOCs가 오존생성에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구는 갈수록 증가하고 있는 대기중 오존 농도 심화현상의 규명과 대기질 개선을 위한 기초자료로서 매우 그 필요성이 더해가고 있다. (중략)

  • Ceiling cassette type air conditioner has been a main stream as a heating/cooling system recently in school, Korea. In this study, indoor thermal environments made by ceiling cassette type air conditioner were investigated by CFD simulation. Concentrations of $CO_2$ were investigated by a field measurement. Indoor thermal environment with the velocity inlet angle of $45^{\circ}$ from the ceiling in heating season was very ununiform so that thermal area was divided into two parts those the one is window side which is cold, and the other is corridor side which is hot. In cooling season under the same condition, there are areas too hot or too cold. If the velocity inlet angle is set in $30^{\circ}$ from the ceiling, indoor thermal environments was improved greatly in cooling season and heating season, too. Also, from the field measurement of $CO_2$ concentrations, it was suggested to install ventilators with proper air volume considered the number of class students.

  • As environmental restriction has continuously become more strict, machining technology has emphasized on development of environment-friendly technologies. In cutting technology, it has been well recognized that cutting fluids might have undesirable effects on workers health and working environment and, hence, recently there have been numerous attempts to minimize harmful effects of cutting fluids on environments. To minimize the use of cutting fluids in machining, conventional cutting fluids have been replaced with the technologies of pressurized cold air and minimum quantity lubrication (MQL). Compared with milling, turning is continuous cutting process, where tools are continuously heated up and lack of lubricity could lead to tool wear and deteriorated surface roughness. In this work, it has been investigated how tool wear and surface roughness could be affected by cutting conditions, supply and cooling methods. The experimental results show that MQL technology is able to minimize conventional cutting fluids.

  • This study was conducted to find ways to control environment with the difference between body temperature and background temperature based on swine activity, and to apply to the environment control system of swine barns based on the findings. Following are the results. 1. Swine activity related to background temperature was achieved as color images and swine activity status was categorized into cold, comfortable, and hot periods with visualization system (thermal image system). 2. Thermal image system consisted of an infrared CCD camera, an image processing board - DIF (TH3100), an main computer (400Hz, 128M, 586 Pentium model) with C++ program installed. 3. Thermal image system categorizing temperatures into cold, comfortable, and hot was applicable to the environment control system of swine barns 4. Feed intake was higher in cold temperature, and finishing weight and weight gain per day in cold temperature were lower than others (p<0.05).

  • Because ordinary concrete cannot be hardened well under sub-zero temperatures, anti-freeze agents are typically added to prevent the frost damage and to ensure the proper hardening of concrete. With the advantage of a rapid exothermic reaction property, jet set concrete may be used as a cold weather concrete because it can reach the required strength before being damaged by cold weather. Recent studies are reported that magnesia-phosphate composites can be hardened very quickly and hydrated even in low temperature, which can be used as an alternative of severe cold weather concrete in arctic regions. This study developed the magnesia-phosphate composites that can be used in severe cold regions and suggested an appropriate mixture design from the experimental results.

  • Long-term variability in the intermediate layer of the eastern Japan Basin has been investigated to understand the variability of water mass formation in the East Sea. The simultaneous decrease of temperature at shallower depths and oxygen increasing at deeper depths in the intermediate layer took place in the late 1960's sand the mid-1980's. Records of winter sea surface temperatures and air temperatures showed that there were cold winters that persisted for several years during those periods. Therefore, it was assumed that a large amount of newly-formed water was supplied to the intermediate layer during those cold winters. Close analysis suggests that the formation of the Upper Portion of Proper Water occurred in the late 1960's and the Central Water in the mid-1980's.

  • Work-related musculoskeletal disorders constitute a major source of employee disability and lost wages. Cumulative Trauma Disorders(CTD) refers to a category of physical conditions which result from chronic musculoskeletal injury. Assessment of CTD risk in industry at early stage allows for early control, a safe environment, and a healthier workforce. In this study, the physical load of the shipping work in the cold storage warehouse were especially investigated. Employees were working with almost unnatural posture in a very restricted work space. The questionnaire and biomechanical analysis were used to evaluate the physical load. Results from analyses showed that they were sufficiently exposed to CTD due to repetition and unnatural posture. Based on the analysis, ways for improving working conditions are proposed. The analysis and proposals in this paper will serve as a basic tool for designing/redesigning working environment such as improvement of tools and equipments, design of times for work/rest cycle.

  • Gas-phase hydrogen peroxide(H2O2) concentrations were measured to investigate it's distribution in the ambient air in downtown Seoul(Kwanghwamum and Mullae-dong). These measurements were made during four season, from April 30, 1998 to January 29, 1999, using Cold Trap and HPLC. Measurements were also made of other photochemical oxidants and trace gases(O3, NO2, CO and SO2) and meteorological parameters(relative humidity, temperature, solar radiation and wind speed). The mean of all observations was 0.10 ppbv and the range measured was below the level of detection(>0.01 ppbv) to 0.47ppbv. The higher seasonal mean concentrations showed during the summer(0.21 ppbv) and concentrations of H2O2 showed a diurnal variation with maximum concentrations in the afternoon(12:30∼14:00). The results from the corrrelation analysis showed that the concentration of gaseous H2O2 is strongly dependent on the other air pollutants(NO2, CO and O3) and meteorological parameters(relative humidity, temperature and solar radiation.)

  • The research described in this paper was conducted to estimate the stability and heat budget in planetary boundary layer (PBL) at Kimhae. The upper air observation was carried out during period from 3 Februsry 1993 to 5 February 1993 at Kimhae. The surface observation data used the one during period from 1 April 1994 to 31 March 1995. The maximum height of inversion layer observed at Kimhae was 310 m. Destruction of the inversion was simultaneously occurred at the surface and the mid-layer (200 $\sim$ 300 m), however the origin of destruction is different each other. The surface inversion is destructed by surface heating owing to growing radiation in surface but disappearance of the mid-layer inversion is related to the upper cold air movement.
