대기 중 PAHs의 가스/입자 분배반응이 평형상태일 때 가스/입자분배계수($logK_p$)와 각 화합물의 증기압($logP_L^O$)과 선형식의 기울기가 -1이라는 것이 지금까지 알려진 사실이었다. 기러나 실제 대기에서 일어나는 가스/입자 분배와 차이를 보이는 현상에 대한 연구가 진행되면서 대기 입자의 불균일성 및 입자특성의 차이로 평형상태일 때 가스/입자 분배계수와 증기압과 기울기가 -1이 되지 않을 수도 있다는 주장이 제기되었다. 따라서 본 연구에서 이러한 가설을 토대로 대기 입자의 입경 크기에 따라 시료를 채취하여 평형상태일 때 입경의 크기에 따른 가스/입자 분배를 연구하였다. 대기 중 PAHs의 분배평형상태를 추정하기 위해 High-volume air sampler에서 채취된 입자와 가스를 이용하여 분배계수와 증기압을 구하고 이때 기울기가 -1에 가까운 시료를 평형상태에 있는 시료로 간주하였다. 그러나 평형상태에 해당하는 시료 중 같은 날 동시에 채취한 입경별 입자를 이용하여 각 입경 크기에 따라 분배계수와 증기압의 기울기를 계산한 결과에서는 평형상태일지라도 입경크기에 따라 동일한 기울기를 갖지 않고 입자가 커질수록 기울기가 완만해지는 현상을 나타내었다. 이러한 현상을 규명하기 위해 가스/입자 분배 반응의 두 가지 기작에 대하여 평형상태일 때 기울기가 -1이라는 결과를 도출하기 위해 가정했던 조건에 대하여 검토하였다. 그 결과 가스/입자 분배가 흡착이 주 반응이라 가정했을 때 입자의 크기에 따라 탈착엔탈피 변화량에 차이가 있었으며, 흡수인 경우에는 입자간의 활성계수의 차이를 간접적으로 확인할 수 있었다. 이는 평형상태일 경우에도 입자의 크기에 따라 가스/입자 분배평형에 이르는 정도가 다른 것으로 판단된다. 또한 가스/입자 분배반응 현상을 규명하기 위해서는 입자의 크기를 고려함으로써 그 현상을 좀 더 명확히 밝힐 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

To assess environmental contamination with carcinogens, carbonaceous compounds, water-soluble ionic species and trace gaseous species were identified and quantified every three hours for three days st three different atmospheric layer at the heart of chiang-Mai, bangkok and hat-Yai from December 2006 to February 2007. A DRI model 2001 Themal/Optical Carbon Analyzer with the IMPROVE thermal/optical reflectance (TOR) protocol was used to quantify the organic carbon(OC) and elemental carbon content in $PM_{10}$. Diurnal and vertical variability was also carefully investigated. In general, OC and EC contenttration shoeed the highest values at the monitoring period o 21.00-00.00 as consequences of human activities at night bazaar coupled with reduction of mixing layer, decreased wind speed and termination of photolysis nighttime. Morning peaks of carboaceous compounds were observed during the sampling period of 06:00 -09:00, emphasizing the main contribution of traffic emission in the three cities. The estimation of incremental lifetime partculate matter exposure (ILPE) raises concern of high risk of carbonaceous accumulation over workers and residents living close to the observatory sites. The average values of incremental lifrtime particulate matter exposure (ILPE) of total carbon at Baiyoke Suit Hotel and Baiyoke Sky Hotel are approsimately ten time shigher then those air sample collected at prince of songkla University Hat-Yai campus corpse incinerator and fish-can maufacturing factory but only slightly higher than those of rice straw burnig in Songkla province. This indicates a high risk of developing lung cancer and other respiratory diseases across workers and residents living in high buildings located in Pratunam area. Using knowledge of carbonaceous fractions in $PM_{10}$, one can estimate the gas-particle partitioning of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Dachs-Eisenreich model highlights the crucial role of adsorption in gas-particle partitioning of low molecular weight PAHs, whereas both absorption and adsorption tend to account for gas-particle partitioning of high molecular weight PAHs in urban residential zones of Thailand. Interestingly, the absorption mode alone plays a minor role in gas-partcle partitiining of PAHs in Chiang-Mai, Bangkok and hat-Yai.

In this study, soil slurry bioreactors were used to treat soils containing 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) for 35 days. Five different soil samples were taken from manufactured gas plant (MGP) and coal tar disposal sites. Soil properties, such as carbon content and particle distribution, were measured. These properties were significantly correlated with percent biodegradation and degradation rate. The cumulative amount of PAH degraded (P), degradation rate (K_m), and lag phase (𝜆) constants of PAHs in different MGP soils for 16 PAHs were successfully obtained from nonlinear regression analysis using the Gompertz equation, but only those of naphthalene, anthracene, acenaphthene, fluoranthene, chrysene, benzo[k]fluoranthene, benzo(a)pyrene, and benzo(g,h,i)perylene are presented in this study. A comparison between total non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic PAHs indicated higher maximum amounts of PAH degraded in the former than that in the latter owing to lower partition coefficients and higher water solubilities (S). The degradation rates of total non-carcinogenic compounds for all soils were more than four times higher than those of total carcinogenic compounds. Carcinogenic PAHs have the highest partitioning coefficients (K_oc), resulting in lower bioavailability as the molecular weight (MW) increases. Good linear relationships of K_m, 𝜆, and P with the octanol-water partitioning coefficient (K_ow), MW, and S were used to estimate PAH remaining, lag time, and biodegradation rate for other PAHs.
