It's described the discharge characteristics and ICP-AES analysis of insulators by surface deterioration in this paper. For the assessment of insulators, there are applied the conductivity of dusts, contact angle measurement of the insulator surfaces and the ingredient analysis in each area. Through the analysis of pollutants attached to insulators inside the tunnel, the cleaning cycle is discussed. As the results, it would be expected to the electrical safety.

Dust collector is one of the most widely used equipment among the method of separating particles, it filters exhaust gas having various kinds of dusts through several filters installed on parallel. This research investigated the moving characteristic of Honeycomb-type carbon filter in pressure drop of smoking collector's ventilation system. It also compared pressure transmission coefficient through pressure drop according to flow velocity change.

This study measured the smouldering temperature of dust layer for various combustible natural polymer material by practical apparatus. The dust layer was either put on the preheated plate of constant temperature, or formed with cylinderical metal sleeve of various diameters and depths at room temperature and then heated up to a pre-determined smouldering temperature. Plots of arrival times versus smouldering temperature were made to compare the smouldering characteristics with kinds of dusts. The natural polymer material was divided into theree groups by characteristics of smouldering mechanism. This groups are cellulose group, lipide group and glucose group.

All most factories producing briquets in Seoul are currently located at residential districts. The coal dusts scattered from these factories are making serious problems in living. To get rid of this environmental pollution, moving thesis factories to places of mining coals is considered now. For doing this project, first, annual briquet demands are forecasted using regression analysis and then, optimal factory capacities to be built are obtained based on forecast demands using LP. To validate factory capacities obtained above simulation is conducted using SLAM II.

Atmospheric particles have a great deal of influences on the climate and the air quality, which change the living and industrial environments of a specific area. Especially, the suspended dusts and aerosols can often have a harmful influences on workers' health, equipments at working places. For this reasons, the measurement of atmospheric particle size distributions is of considerable current interest. (omitted)

Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship of pulmonary function impairment (PFI) and coronary artery calcification (CAC) by multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT), and the effect of pneumoconiosis on CAC or PFI. Methods: Seventy-six subjects exposed to inorganic dusts underwent coronary artery calcium scoring by MDCT, spirometry, laboratory tests, and a standardized questionnaire. CAC was quantified using a commercial software (Rapidia ver. 2.8), and all the subjects were divided into two categories according to total calcium scores (TCSs), either the non-calcified (<1) or the calcified (${\geq}1$) group. Obstructive pulmonary function impairment (OPFI) was defined as forced expiratory volume in one second/forced vital capacity ($FEV_1$/FVC, %)<70, and as $FEV_1$/FVC (%){\geq}70 and FVC<80 for restrictive pulmonary function impairment (RPFI) by spirometry. All subjects were classified as either the case (profusion${\geq}1/0$) or the control (profusion${\leq}0/1$) group by pneumoconiosis findings on simple digital radiograph. Results: Of the 76 subjects, 35 subjects (46.1%) had a CAC. Age and hypertension were different significantly between the non-calcified and the calcified group (p<0.05). Subjects with pneumoconiosis were more frequent in the calcified group than those in the non-calcified group (p=0.099). $FEV_1$/FVC (%) was significantly correlated with TCSs (r=-0.316, p=0.005). Subjects with OPFI tended to increase significantly with increasing of TCS (4.82, p=0.028), but not significantly in RPFI (2.18, p=0.140). Subjects with OPFI were significantly increased in the case group compared to those in the control group. Conclusion: CAC is significantly correlated with OPFI, and CAC and OPFI may be affected by pneumoconiosis findings.
