기존의 가로등은 배광특성 조절이 어려워 주변 환경 및 도로의 상황에 따라 빛을 고루 전달하지 못하므로, 눈부심, 농작물 결실저해 및 수면 방해 등의 광공해를 발생시키고 있는 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 주변 환경 및 도로 상황에 따라 조사되는 빛의 각도를 조절할 수 있는 새로운 구조의 LED 가로등 기구를 제안 하였다. 제안된 LED 가로등 기구는 반원구조의 형상을 갖는 각도 조절 장치를 이용하여 도로의 종류 및 특성에 따라 배광특성을 조절 할 수 있도록 하였다. 측정 및 모의실험결과 배광각도는 최소 $100^{\circ}$에서 최대 $154^{\circ}$까지 조절이 가능함을 확인하였고, 평균조도는 KS 규정의 15%를 초과하였으며, 종합 균제도는 KS 규정의 50% 이상을 초과하여 성능이 우수함을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구를 통하여 개발된 대용량 LED 가로등 기구는 광공해를 해소하고 광원 분포의 균제도 최적화와 눈부심을 최소화 할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Light railway system has many characteristics of better accessibility, frequency service, low construction cost, reduced air pollution and medium capacity public transport etc. Light railway system as a urban transportation system has been glowing worldwide since the late 20th century. More than 300 cities around the world have light railway systems. Many medium-size cities in domestic site is planning the construction of light railway. This paper reviews the domestic and foreign light railway system.

A study was carried out to determine a suitable light intensity and inoculum size for the growth of Rhodopseudomonas palustris strain B1. The pollution reduction of sago effluent using free and immobilised R. palustris cells was also evaluated. The growth rate in glutamatemalate medium was highest at 4 klux compared to 2.5 and 3 klux. The optimal inoculum size was 10% (v/v). Both the COD and BOD of the sago effluent were reduced by 67% after three days of treatment. The difference in biomass production or BOD and COD removal with higher inoculum sizes of 15 and 20% was minimal. This could be attributed to limited nutrient availability in the substrate. The use of immobilised cells of R. palustris reduced the pollution load 10% less compared to pollution reduction by free cells. Hence, there was no significant difference in using free or immobilised cells for the treatment of sago effluent.

동굴내 환경보존을 위해서는 동굴내 관광객 통로 안내용 전기 조명을 계속 켜고 있는 것을 유도 등이나 윙카로 교체하고, 동굴내 관광객을 위하여 설치한 전기조명을 콘센트에 센서등을 추가로 설치하여 사용한다면, 현재보다 더 많은 전기 절감을 할 수 있으며 특히 성수기보다 비수기에는 더욱 더 많은 전기 절감을 할 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

Electroluminescent Display(ELD) will be the innovative ideas to replace existed electricity illumination systems that consider to under effectiveness and environmental pollution generators in the commercial caves because ELD has less heat and low electricity consumption by the new illumination materials. Characteristics of the ELD are as following: it is a proper matter for the small merchandise ads due to its thickness is only below 3oo micoron, electricity consumption of ELD is less (1/3) than LED, ELD that is a whole face illumination system is much brighter than LED that is a dot illumination system, ELD is longer life than others due to its less light generation systems, ELD is any problems to bend, and it is a best device to use a light board ads. ELD has advantages on conservation of cave biosystems and reduce pollution when ELD is installed in touring spots and emergency corridors of weak illuminated cave internal areas by less heating and low electricity consumption using the indirect illumination of the ELD. Therefore when the high technologic ELD is installed in the commercial caves in Korea, it will be innovating cave environmental systems, saving budgets, and increasing tours.

Running tests on roads were conducted to clarify the influences of road infrastructure, traffic condition and vehicle's emission level to the amount of emission at local roadsides, and to reveal the operation patterns which can reduce the emission peaks. NOx emission peaks of two light duty freight diesel vehicles which have different emission levels were evaluated by using an on-board measurement system. Tests were carried out with various payload conditions and road conditions. As a result many NOx emission peaks were observed when the vehicles were starting or accelerating at intersections. The test vehicle which has higher emission level caused higher frequency and level of NOx emission peaks. Shifting up at lower engine speed in combination with lower acceleration brought out not only reduction of NOx emission peaks level but also of $CO_2$ mass emission.

Background: Artificial light at night (ALAN) has been linked to increased risk of cancers in body sites like the breast and colorectum. However exposure of ALAN as an environmental risk factor and its relation to cancers in humans has never been studied in detail. Objective: To explore the association of ALAN with all forms of cancers in 158 countries. Materials and Methods: An ecological study encompassing global data was conducted from January to June 2015, with age-standardized rates (ASR) of cancers as the outcome measure. ALAN, in the protected areas, as the exposure variable, was measured with reference to the Protected Area Light Pollution Indicator (PALI) and the Protected Area Human Influence Indicator (PAHI). Pearson's correlations were calculated for PALI and PAHI with ASR of cancers for 158 countries, adjusted for country populations, electricity consumption, air pollution, and total area covered by forest. Stratified analysis was conducted according to the country income levels. Linear regression was applied to measure the variation in cancers explained by PALI and PAHI. Results: PALI and PAHI were positively associated with ASR of all forms of cancer, and also the four most common cancers (p < 0.05). These positive correlations remained statistically significant for PAHI with all forms of cancer, lung, breast, and colorectal cancer after adjusting for confounders. Positive associations of PALI and PAHI with cancers varied with income level of the individual countries. Variation in all forms of cancers, and the four most common cancers explained by PALI and PAHI, ranged from 3.3 - 35.5%. Conclusion: Artificial light at night is significantly correlated for all forms of cancer as well as lung, breast, colorectal, and prostate cancers individually. Immediate measures should be taken to limit artificial light at night in the main cities around the world and also inside houses.

We introduce a new visible light communication (VLC) method in which three-level return-to-zero (RZ) modulation is used for flicker-free transmission. In the VLC transmitter, the three-level RZ modulation ensures that the average optical power is constant; thus, a flicker-free light-emitting diode (LED) light is achieved. In the VLC receiver, a resistor-capacitor high-pass filter is used for generating spike signals, which are used for data recovery while eliminating the 120 Hz optical noise from adjacent lighting lamps. In transmission experiments, we applied this method for wireless transmission of an air quality sensor message using the visible light of an LED array. This configuration is useful for the construction of indoor wireless sensor networks for air pollution monitoring using LED lights.

The outdoor lighting is provided for a variety of purposes, for work or recreation, for safety or security, for amenity and for advertising or display. But the effects of lighting on the natural environment can be difficult to quantify. At present, in many countries, various policies to manage the light trespass from outdoor light have been planned. For example, Model Lighting Ordinance(MLO) will allow communities to drastically reduce light pollution and glare and lower excessive light levels. The recommended practices of the IES can be met using readily available, reasonably priced lighting equipment. So, it this paper, we analyze the effect of road lighting on light trespass using by RELUX program. And then we consider the possibility of practical application of BUG rating in Korea.

Many countries and researchers in the lighting field have focused on the LED light source as a solution to energy savings and environmental pollution. The LED light source consumes less power, has a long life and is highly economical. It is vibration and shock-resistant, and environment friendly as well. But LED lighting has some problems. In particular, the photobiological safety of LED light sources is emerging as an issue. Ultraviolet radiation from the LED light source emitted directly to the human body over a long period of time is harmful. In this paper, UV radiation from white LED was measured. Finally, the LED light source emits UV radiation, but it is relatively small when compared to others.
