This study was carried out to propose the optimum technologies that can be applicable to noise and fugitive dust controlling in construction sites by comparative analysis in cases. The ninety three environmental management technologies applied to fifty-five construction projects conducted during 2005~2007 in Korea were analyzed by checklist method. The construction companies paid more attention to the noise and fugitive dust controlling technologies than the waste and wastewater. The diverse pollution controlling techniques were applied to the architectural projects than the civil projects to meet the environmental requirements in residential area. The fugitive dust controlling technologies(75.3%) were more widely applied to all construction projects than the noise controlling technologies(24.7%). As the noise controlling techniques, the noise barriers in wall-form which are set up as boundary in construction site were more widely used than the noise barriers in curtain-form, in cabin and silencers. Water spraying systems, wind barriers and mechanical sweepers were the preferred technologies for controlling fugitive dust emission.

Currently, medical waste stoker incinerator is widely used in the emission control technology of health-care risk waste and miscellaneous contaminated waste. In the past, wet type control technology was used to remove the major harmful gaseous contaminants of medical waste such as HCl, $NO_x,\;SO_2$, CO, DUST, Dioxin. However, the treatment cost for wastewater was high and it has a disadvantage for frozen system during winter season. Therefore, in order to obtain effective treatment, the dry type control technology was developed and widely used to remove the gaseous contaminants. In this study, pre-coated bag filter using hydrated lime, ($Ca(OH)_2$), was applied to the dry type control system and the optimum dose of hydrated lime was investigated. The treatment results showed that the dust collection rate was approximately 26.7%. Moreover, the HCl removal rate using pre-coated bag filter ($50mg/sm^3\;Ca(OH)_2$) was 13.52%, which was significantly higher than 3.26% obtained from conventional bag filter.

Recent public concern about air pollution caused by swine production facilities has forced to develop the methods to reduce and control the swine odors. Swine odors were affected the life of pig farm neighborhoods, swine productivity, pig health, diseases, and human right, safety, sanity as negatively. The first approaches of control of swine odors are the change or improve of the classical management systems, which are manure treatment method, manure storage facility, phase feeding, sex-divided feeding, feeder type, liquid-slurry feeding, environment control of swine building and dust control of indoor swine facility. The methods to control odor emission from manure have to include the diet modification as nutritional basis. In recent, research emphasis has focused on manipulating the swine diet to increase the nutrient utilization of the diet to reduce excretion products and reduction of odors. There are lots of feed additives and pit additives introduced as practical basis for reducing odor emissions. The ozone treatment method is candidate as the good system for reducing swine odor. But this system is still too expensive to practice in present.

본 연구는 시스템다이내믹스를 활용하여 미세먼지 저감 정책이 미세먼지 농도와 건강에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 시스템다이내믹스는 미세먼지 발생원, 저감 정책, 미세먼지 농도, 건강영향 간의 동태적이며 순환적인 관계의 모델링을 구축할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 연구에서는 국내의 대표적 미세먼지 저감 정책인 산업부문 미세먼지 배출규제, 디젤차 규제, 전기차 확대, 공원·녹지면적 확대를 대상으로 정책 시나리오를 작성하여 현재 추세가 유지될 때와의 2030년 기준 결과를 비교하였다. 분석 결과, 전기차 지원정책은 0.21㎍/m³의 PM₁₀ 농도 저감과 494명의 순환기계 질환자 수 감소 효과가 있었으며 전국적으로 고르게 효과가 나타났다. 산업 배출량 규제 시나리오에서는 0.22㎍/m³의 가장 높은 PM₁₀ 농도가 감소하였으나 전기차 지원보다 적은 질환자 수 감소 효과(358명)가 나타났는데 이는 해당 정책이 충북 단양군, 부산 사하구 등 일부 공업지역을 중심으로 높은 미세먼지 저감 효과를 보였기 때문이다. 이러한 결과는 지역의 배출원 특성에 맞는 정책 선정의 필요성을 제시하였다.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the emission characteristics of mercury, lead, arsenic, and selenium from medium size municipal solid waste incinerators(MSWIs) in Korea. The concentrations of mercury, lead, arsenic, and selenium emitted from medium size MSWI stack were $2.67\;{\mu}g/Sm^3,\;0.38\;mg/Sm^3,\;1.33\;{\mu}g/Sm^3,\;0.28\;{\mu}g/Sm^3$, respectively. The concentration levels of mercury, lead, arsenic in flue gas from medium size MSW incinerator stacks selected were nearly detected under the Korea criteria level. Removal efficiencies of mercury, lead, arsenic, and selenium in waste heat boiler(WHE) and cooling tower(CT) were $90.36\%,\;69.76\%,\;43.04\%,\;40.64\%$, respectively. In general, the removal efficiencies of mercury and lead in WHE were higher than those of arsenic and selenium in WHE. Emission gas temperature reduction from waste heat boiler(WHB) and cooling tower(CT) can control mercury and lead of medium size MSWIs. To evaluate the relationship between mercury, lead, arsenic, selenium of fly ash and those of flue gas, it was carried out to correlation analysis of each metal concentration in the fly ash and in the flue gas from medium size MSWIs. From the correlation analysis, the coefficients of mercury, lead, arsenic, and selenium were 0.61, -0.38, 0.87, 0.28, respectively. The results of correlation analysis revealed that it should be highly positive to the correlation coefficients of mercury and arsenic in the fly ash and those of the flue gas emitted from medium size MSWIs. As it were, the concentrations of mercury and arsenic of flue gas from medium size MSWIs are high unless mercury and arsenic in fly ash are properly controlled in dust collection step in medium size MSWIs. It was also concluded that mercury, lead, arsenic, and selenium from MSWIs stacks could be controlled by waste heat boiler(WHE) and dust collecting step in medium size MSWIs.

The capital city of Himalayan Country Nepal, Kathmandu Valley is surrounded by consecutive high mountains, which limits the air distribution and mixing effects significantly. It in turn generates steady air flow pattern over a year except in monsoon season. The air shed in the Valley is easily trapped by the surrounded mountains and the inversion layer formulated as the cap. The $PM_{10}$ concentration was noticeably higher than the standard level (120 ${\mu}g/m^3$) in urban and suburban area of Kathmandu valley for all seasons except monsoon period. The Valley area experiences similar wind patterns (W, WWS, and S) for a year but the Easterly wind prevails only during the monsoon period. There was low and calm wind blows during the winter season. Because of this air flow structure, the air emission from various sources is accumulated within the valley air, high level of air pollution is frequently recorded with other air polluted cities over the world. In this Valley area, brick kilns are recognized as the major air pollution source followed by vehicles. Mostly Bull Trench Kiln (BKT), Hoffman Kiln and Vertical Shaft Brick Kiln (VSBK) are in operation for brick firing in Kathmandu valley where the fuels such as crushed coal, saw dust, and natural gas are used for processing bricks in this study. Tool for the Reduction and Assessment of Chemical and Other Environmental Impacts (TRACI) was used for screening and quantifying the potential impacts of air emission from firing fuels. The total Environmental Performance Score (EPS) was estimated and the EPS of coal was approximately 2.5 times higher than those of natural gas and saw dust. It is concluded that the crushed coal has more negative impact to the environment and human health than other fuel sources. Concerning the human health and environment point of view, alternative environment friendly firing fuel need to be used for brick industry in the kiln and the air pollution control devices also need to be applied for minimizing the air emissions from the kilns.

Objectives: Aircraft cabin cleaning work is characterized by being performed within a limited time in a narrow and enclosed space. The objective of this study was to evaluate the exposure levels to dust, ultra fine dust(PM2.5) and black carbon(BC) among aircraft cabin cleaners. Methods: Active personal air sampling for respirable dust(n=73) and BC(n=47) was conducted during quick transit cleaning(cabin general and vacuum-specific) and seat cover replacement and total dust and PM2.5 were area-air-sampled as well. Also, size distribution of particle was identified with the cleaning workers targeted. Dusts were collected with PVC filters using gravimetric analysis. The concentration of PM2.5 and the particle size distribution were measured with real-time direct reading portable equipment using light scattering analysis. The concentration of BC was measured by aethalometer(filter-based real-time light absorption analysis instrument). Results: The geometric mean of respirable dust was the highest at vacuum cleaning as 74.4 ㎍/m³, following by replacing seat covers as 49.3 ㎍/m³ and cabin general cleaning as 47.8 ㎍/m³ . The arithmetic mean of PM2.5 was 4.83 ~ 9.89 ㎍/m³ inside the cabin, and 28.5~44.5 ㎍/m³ outside the cabin(from bus and outdoor waiting space). From size distribution, PM_2.5/PM₁₀ ratio was 0.54 at quick transit cleaning and 0.41 at replacing seat covers. The average concentration of BC was 2~7 ㎍/m³, showing a high correlation with the PM2.5 concentration. Conclusions: The hazards concentration levels of aircraft cabin cleaners were very similar to those of roadside outdoor workers. As the main source of pollution is estimated to be diesel vehicles operating at airports, and it is necessary to replace older vehicles, strengthen pollutant emission control regulations, and introduce electric vehicles. In addition, it is necessary to provide as part of airport-inftastructure a stable standby waiting space for aircraft cabin cleaners and introduce a systematic safety and health management system for all workers in the aviation industry.
