본 연구는 배양된 C6 신경교종(glioma) 세포에서 환경오염 원인 황산알루미늄에 의한 신경 독성과 파리풀(PLVAH)추출물의 AS에 의해 유도된 신경 독성에 대한 보호효과를 확인해 보았다. 이를 위해 세포생존력과 전자공여(ED)능, 지질과산화(LP) 저해능 및 과산소음이온라디칼(superoxide anion-radical, SAR) 소거능과 같은 항산화효과를 조사하였다. AS는 용량의존적으로 현저히 세포생존율을 감소시켰고 AS의 $XTT_{50}$ 값은 $120.0{\mu}M$로 측정되었다. AS의 신경 독성은 Borenfreund와 Puerner의 독성 기준에 의해 중간 독성으로 판정되었다. 또한, 항산화제인 catalase (CAT)는 AS의 신경독성에 의해 손상된 세포의 생존력을 현저히 증가시켰다. AS 유발 신경 독성에 대한 PLVAH 추출물의 보호 효과에서, PLVAH 추출물은 ED의 능력, LP의 억제 능력 및 SAR 소거능을 유의하게 증가시켰다. 이러한 결과로부터 산화 스트레스가 AS의 세포독성에 관여하고 있으며, PLVAH 추출물의 항산화 작용에 의해 AS에 의해 유도된 신경 독성을 효과적으로 보호한다는 것을 알 수 있었다. PLVAH 추출물과 같은 천연 성분은 산화스트레스를 만드는 AS와 같은 중금속 화합물로 인한 독성을 치료할 수 있는 잠재적 치료제로 가치가 있다고 사료된다.

도시지역의 강우유출수를 관리하기 위하여 자연기반해법의 LID 및 그린인프라 적용이 늘고 있다. 식물이 LID 시설에 적용되는 이유는 광합성을 이용하여 오염물질 저감효율을 높이고, 시설 내부 오염물질 축적을 줄여 유지관리 기능을 향상시키기 위해서이다. 그러나 LID 시설 내부에서 작용하는 식물의 오염물질 흡입능력의 불확실성으로 인하여 식재 선정시 어려움이 많다. 따라서 본 연구는 도로변, LID 시설 및 조경공간에 식재되어있는 식물의 건물률 및 영양물질 함량을 비교하여 오염물질 제거기작을 분석하기 위해 수행되었다. 실험대상인 7종의 초본류, 관목류 및 교목류의 월별 건물률은 60~90% 범위를 보였다. 초본류 몸체 내 TN 함량은 여름철까지 지속적으로 성장하다가 감소하는 추세를 보였다. 그러나 관목류와 교목류는 초봄과 늦여름에 높은 TN 함량을 보였다. 패랭이를 제외한 LID 시설에 식재된 모든 식물에서 높은 TP 함량을 보였다. 이는 LID의 식물이 인 제거에 효율적이라는 것을 의미한다. 식물별 영양염류 함량은 유입수 농도에 영향을 끼치는 도시환경에 크게 의존하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 이러한 결과들은 향후 LID 적용 시 식생 선정에 있어 유용한 자료로 활용 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

주암호는 광주 전남지역의 주민생활이나 공 농업활동에 기반이 되는 중요한 수자원의 역할을 하고 있으나, 주암호에 유입되는 오염물질로 말미암아 호수의 수질은 점점 악화되고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 주암호 수질개선 전략은 시급히 마련되어야 할 것이다. 호수의 수질개선 전략으로 하나가 아닌 다수의 대안이 개발될 경우에 대안별 평가 및 최적순위 결정을 위해서는 목표수질의 달성도, 사회 기술적 적용성 및 경제성 측면을 고려한 평가기준들이 선정된다. 그러나 평가기준들의 수가 많고 각 기준이 추구하는 목적이 서로 상충될 때 의사결정은 어려워진다. 특히, 각 평가기준에 대한 대안별 기준값이 불확실성을 내포하는 경우에는 의사결정이 더욱 곤란하게 된다. 이러한 불확실성의 정도가 크면 클수록 의사결정은 점점 어려워지는데, 각 기준값의 불확실성이 발생하는 주요 원인은 활용할 수 있는 정보의 부족, 미래 상황의 불확실 또는 전문가 지식의 한계 때문이다. 본 논문에서는 의사결정권자가 불확실성 하에서도 호수의 수질개선 대안들을 평가하는데 이용할 수 있는 퍼지 의사결정법이 보여질 것이다. 이 방법은 퍼지이론을 응용하여 대안별 평가기준 값의 불확실성 정도를 해석하고, 이를 그대로 의사결정 과정에 반영하기 때문에 불확실성을 고려하지 않는 방법들에 비해 합리적이고 현실성있는 최적의 수질관리 대안이 선정될 수 있다.

NMHC (non-methane hydrocarbons) and fine particles such as P $M_{10}$ and P $M_{2.5}$ were measured at KIST (Korea Institute of Science and Technology) in Seoul for a month from the end of May. At the beginning of June, peak ozones exceeded 100ppb both near KIST and in Seoul while ozone and fine particles decreased from the middle of June due to frequent precipitation. Because the measurement site was close to trees on a hill, isoprene concentration went up to 4.1ppb with an average of 0.76ppb. Toluene was the highest all day long, but particularly high concentration in the afternoon implied a contribution of emission from solvent use as well as vehicle exhaust. Eighty-five percent of P $M_{10}$ was P $M_{2.5}$ on an average since major ions except sea salt, including nitrate, were present within P $M_{2.5}$. Daily variations of pollutants were generally similar except for NMHC. One of major differences in NMHC variation was maintenance of a relative high concentration in rainy day, showing that NMHC were not effectively scavenged by precipitation.ion.ion.

Pollutants such as heavy metals and explosives originating from the military operational ranges can be migrated to adjacent surface water body or offsite soil, and can affect to local residents and aquatic ecosystem. Therefore, Korea Ministry of the National Defense has established various guidelines for environmental management including the installation of pollutant migration prevention facilities (PMPFs) and monitoring methodologies for heavy metals in the operational range soil and effluent and sediment of PMPFs. However, current guidelines neither address the explosive compounds such as 2, 4, 6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) and hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) nor suggest detailed environmental investigation protocol. This paper introduces the new “Environmental Management Manual for Military Firing Ranges”, which includes the environmental criteria for explosives as well as the detailed investigation protocol for the affected environmental media including soil, effluent and sediment of PMPFs.

Flue gas control systems for small-scale combustors must be designed to provide highly effective removal of three criteria pollutants (S $O_{2}$, N $O_{x}$ and particulate matter), and must be safe, reliable and small. These requirements make dry, regenerative clean-up process particularly attractive and this paper describes a new concept for integrated pollutant control : a filter comprised of layered, gas permeable membranes that act as an S $O_{2}$ sorbant, a N $O_{x}$ reduction catalyst and a particulate filter. A mixed metal oxide sorbent, Cu-Ce was used as a sorbent/catalyst and the activity was compared with Cu-7Al. The S $O_{2}$ removal eficiency of Cu-Ce was increased with temperature increase up to 500$^{\circ}$C and the catalytic activity for NO was higher than that of Cu-7Al. By the sulfation of Cu-Ce, the reduction activity was increased at the temperature higher than 350$^{\circ}$C. The regeneration of Cu-Ce was very fast and some amount of elemental sulfar was found.

In order to statistically predict $O_3$ levels in Seoul, the study used the TMS (telemeted air monitoring system) data from the Department of Environment, which have monitored at 20 sites in 1989 and 1990. Each data in each site was characterized by 6 major criteria pollutants ($SO_2, TSP, CO, NO_2, THC, and O_3$) and 2 meteorological parameters, such as wind speed and wind direction. To select proper variables and to determine each pollutant's behavior, univariate statistical analyses were extensively studied in the beginning, and then various applied statistical techniques like cluster analysis, regression analysis, and expert system have been intensively examined. For the initial study of high level $O_3$ prediction, the raw data set in each site was separated into 2 group based on 60 ppb $O_3$ level. A hierarchical cluster analysis was applied to classify the group based on 60 ppb $O_3$ into small calsses. Each class in each site has its own pattern. Next, multiple regression for each class was repeatedly applied to determine an $O_3$ prediction submodel and to determine outliers in each class based on a certain level of standardized redisual. Thus, a prediction submodel for each homogeneous class could be obtained. The study was extended to model $O_3$ prediction for both on-time basis and 1-hr after basis. Finally, an expect system was used to build a unified classification rule based on examples of the homogenous classes for all of sites. Thus, a concept of high level $O_3$ prediction model was developed for one of $O_3$ alert systems.

To offer a general guideline for the quantitative analysis of airborne pollutants, we designed and conducted a comprehensive QA/QC test using two different strategic approaches, namely (1) field-based comparative measurement and (2) laboratory-based comparative analysis. The former task was performed to make meaningful comparison of combined errors occurring from both sampling and analytical techniques in the measurements of such components as: (1) criteria pollutants, (2) volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and (3) particulate matters with the associated metals and ions. The latter task was also conducted to compare various types of bias arising mainly from the laboratory analytical procedures of (1) gaseous standards of VOCs and (2) of aqueous standards of metals and ions. The concentration data derived from each of these two different types of major tasks were evaluated per chemical species categorized as above. While the very details of these studies are to be reported on an individual basis according to the above classification of the project, this paper is presented to provide an overview of the whole project - its aim and direction.

The series of experiments under the various conditions were carried out to evaluate the feasibility of dissolved air flotation (DAF) as an alternative of conventional gravity sedimentation (CGS) and to investigate the decrease of the loadings following to biological wastewater treatment processes in livestock wastewater system. On the basis of the experiment result between CGS and DAF processes, for the other water quality criteria as well as suspended solid the removal efficiency of DAF process was about 20~25 % better than CGS process on average. In addition, the particle removal efficiency of DAF process became higher in proportion as the increase of air to solid (A/S) ratio and the general wastewater treatment efficiency of DAF process was enough to meet the requirement of loading decrease to following biological process even at low A/S ratio range. Though DAF process is widely known as an solid separation unit, there was not the notable relationship between particle separation efficiency and several pollutant removal efficiencies like $COD_{Cr}$ and nutrients (T-N, T-P). Assume that the $COD_{Cr}$ was removed as the fraction of particle separation in this experiment, the removal efficiency of T-N and T-P were sensitive to removal efficiency of $COD_{Cr}$, especially.

Recently, because of the worse of the air pollution, the excessive airtught of building and the inferiority of air conditioning system, the development of high efficiency air purification technology was enlarged to the environmental improvement of an indoor or a harmful working condition. The air purification technology has used chemical filters or charcoal filters or charcoal to remove hazardouse gaseous pollutants (SO$_{x}$, NO$_{x}$, NH$_{3}$, etc.) by air pollutant control technology, but they have many problems of high pressure loss, short life, wide space possession, and treatment of secondary wastes. For these reason, the object of reasearch shall be hazardous gaseous pollutants removal by the surface discharge induced plasma chemical process that is A.C. discharge of multistreams applied A.C. voltage and frequency between plane induced eletrode and line discharge eletrode of tungsten, platinum or titanium with a high purified alumina sheet having a film-like plane. As a result, the control performance for hazardous gaseous pollutants showed very high efficiency in the normal temperature and pressure. Also, after comtact oxidation decomposition of harmful gaseous pollutants, the remainded ozone concentration was found much lower than that of ACGIH or air pollution criteria in Korea.rea.
