Cars are one of the main causes of air pollution in large cities, and 34.6% of domestic air pollution emissions come from mobile sources, of which cars account for 69.6%. In particular, the importance of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM), which are major pollutants in diesel vehicles, is increasing due to their high contribution to emissions. Therefore, in this study, the problem of natural regeneration caused by low exhaust gas temperature during low speed and low load operation was solved by applying a complex regeneration DPF that is not affected by temperature conditions to large diesel vehicles with higher driving time and engine displacement than small and medium-sized vehicles. And the feasibility of application to large diesel vehicles was reviewed by measuring the emission reduction efficiency. As a result of the reduction efficiency test on the actual vehicle durability product, PM showed a reduction efficiency of 84% to 86%, and the reduction efficiency of gaseous substances showed a high reduction efficiency of over 90%. The actual vehicle applicability test was completed with three driving patterns: village bus vehicle, police car, and road-going construction equipment vehicle, and no device problems occurred until the end of the test. Both load and no-load smoke measurement results showed a smoke reduction efficiency of over 96%.

본 연구는 부경대학교 해양탐사선인 탐양호를 이용하여 1995년 2월 14일에서 17일까지 실시하였다 수온, 염분 및 용존산소를 이용한 T-S diagram 및 $T-O_2$ diagram 으로부터 수괴는 5개의 Type으로 구분되었다. 특히 T-S diagram에서는 잘 구분되지 않았던 Type IV와 Type V는 $T-O_2$ diagram에서 뚜렷이 구분되었다. 하지만 기존 수괴와 명확히 일치하지 않는 것은 본 조사가 동계에 실시되어 표층수온의 감소로 인하여 수괴의 수직혼합이 강하게 일어나서 생긴 현상으로 사료된다. 영양염류의 수괴별 농도분포를 보면, Type I, Type II, Type III은 서로 거의 비슷한 농도를 보였지만 Type IV에서 Type V로 갈수록 증가되었다. 그리고 동일 수괴에서 농도범위가 넓게 나왔는데, 이는 수온약층의 약화로 인하여 발생한 것으로 생각된다. N/P ratio은 모든 water type에서 Redfield ratio 이하로 나타났는데, 이것은 질산염이 식물플랑크톤 성장의 제한인자로 작용하고 있음을 보여주고 있다. chlorophyll $\alpha$의 농도는 $0\~8\;{\mu}g/\ell$의 범위로, Type I에서 최대였고 Type IV와 Type V에서는 거의 검출되지 않았다. 입자성 유기탄소와 유기질소의 농도는 각각 $0.49\~20.03\;{\mu}g-at/\ell$와 $0.09\~5.34\;{\mu}g-at/\ell$ 범위로서, 수심의 증가에 따라 그 농도가 감소하고, 연안에서 외양쪽으로 갈수록 낮아지는 경향이었다. Water type별 농도는 Type I > Type II > Type III > Type IV > Type V의 순서로 수심의 증가에 따라 농도가 증가하는 경향이었다. 즉 이들 입자성 유기물질은 수괴별로 어떤 뚜렷한 경향을 보이지는 않았으며, 수심에 따라서 농도가 변화되는 것으로 생각된다. POC/PON의 원자비는 3.23으로 Redfield ratio 이하로 나타났다. 이것은 POC보다 PON이 더 난분해성이라 침강하는 동안 POC는 분해되지만 수직혼합에 의해 PON은 다시 재부유하기 때문인 것으로 사료된다. POC/chlorophyll $\alpha$의 평균값은 1962로 매우 높은 값을 나타내었으며, non-living detritus가 POC의 대부분을 차지하고 있는 것으로 판단된다.

We conclude the following with air pollution data measured from city measurement net administered and managed in Gwangju for the last 7 years from January in 2001 to December in 2007. In addition, some major statistics governed by Gwangju city and data administered by Gwangju as national official statistics obtained by estimating the amount of national air pollutant emission from National Institute of Environmental Research were used. The results are as follows ; 1. The distribution by main managements of air emission factory is the following ; Gwangju City Hall(67.8%) > Gwangsan District Office(13.6%) > Buk District Office(9.8%) > Seo District Office(5.5%) > Nam District Office(3.0%) > Dong District Office(0.3%) and the distribution by districts of air emission factory ; Buk District(32.8%) > Gwangsan District(22.4%) > Seo District(21.8%) > Nam District(14.9%) > Dong District(8.1%).

The amount of CO and NOx, which are generally generated from cars, is very large percentage among them. 4. The distribution by mean of air pollutant emission(SOx, NOx, CO, VOC, PM-10) of each county for 5 years(2001~2005) is the following ; Buk District(31.0%) > Gwangsan District(28.2%) > Seo District(20.4%) > Nam District(12.5%) > Dong District(7.9%). The amount of air pollutant emission in Buk District, which has the most population, car registrations, and air pollutant emission businesses, was the highest. On the other hand, that of air pollutant emission in Dong District, which has the least population, car registrations, and air pollutant emission businesses, was the least. 5. The average rates of SOx for 5 years(2001~2005) in Gwangju is the following ; Non industrial combustion(59.5%) > Combustion in manufacturing industry(20.4%) > Road transportation(11.4%) > Non-road transportation(3.8%) > Waste disposal(3.7%) > Production process(1.1%). And the distribution of average amount of SOx emission of each county is shown as Gwangsan District(33.3%) > Buk District(28.0%) > Seo District(19.3%) > Nam District(10.2%) > Dong District(9.1%). 6. The distribution of the amount of NOx emission in Gwangju is shown as Road transportation(59.1%) > Non-road transportation(18.9%) > Non industrial combustion(13.3%) > Combustion in manufacturing industry(6.9%) > Waste disposal(1.6%) > Production process(0.1%). And the distribution of the amount of NOx emission from each county is the following ; Buk District(30.7%) > Gwangsan District(28.8%) > Seo District(20.5%) > Nam District(12.2%) > Dong District(7.8%). 7. The distribution of the amount of carbon monoxide emission in Gwangju is shown as Road transportation(82.0%) > Non industrial combustion(10.6%) > Non-road transportation(5.4%) > Combustion in manufacturing industry(1.7%) > Waste disposal(0.3%). And the distribution of the amount of carbon monoxide emission from each county is the following ; Buk District(33.0%) > Seo District(22.3%) > Gwangsan District(21.3%) > Nam District(14.3%) > Dong District(9.1%). 8.

And the distribution of the amount of Volatile Organic Compound emission from each county is the following ; Gwangsan District(36.8%) > Buk District(28.7%) > Seo District(17.8%) > Nam District(10.4%) > Dong District(6.3%). 9. The distribution of the amount of minute dust emission in Gwangju is shown as Road transportation(76.7%) > Non-road transportation(16.3%) > Non industrial combustion(6.1%) > Combustion in manufacturing industry(0.7%) > Waste disposal(0.2%) > Production process(0.1%). And the distribution of the amount of minute dust emission from each county is the following ; Buk District(32.8%) > Gwangsan District(26.0%) > Seo District(19.5%) > Nam District(13.2%) > Dong District(8.5%). 10. According to the major source of emission of each items, that of oxides of sulfur is Non industrial combustion, heating of residence, business and agriculture and stockbreeding. And that of NOx, carbon monoxide, minute dust is Road transportation, emission of cars and two-wheeled vehicles. Also, that of VOC is Solvent utilization emission facilities due to Solvent utilization. 11. The concentration of sulfurous acid gas has been 0.004ppm since 2001 and there has not been no concentration change year by year. It is considered that the use of sulfurous acid gas is now reaching to the stabilization stage. This is found by the facts that the use of fuel is steadily changing from solid or liquid fuel to low sulfur liquid fuel containing very little amount of sulfur element or gas, so that nearly no change in concentration has been shown regularly. 12. Concerning changes of the concentration of throughout time, the concentration of NO has been shown relatively higher than that of $NO_2$ between 6AM~1PM and the concentration of $NO_2$ higher during the other time. The concentration of NOx(NO, $NO_2$) has been relatively high during weekday evenings. This result shows that there is correlation between the concentration of NOx and car traffics as we can see the Road transportation which accounts for 59.1% among the amount of NOx emission. 13. 49.1~61.2% of PM-10 shows PM-2.5 concerning the relationship between PM-10 and PM-2.5 and PM-2.5 among dust accounts for 45.4%~44.5% of PM-10 during March and April which is the lowest rates. This proves that particles of yellow sand that are bigger than the size $2.5\;{\mu}m$ are sent more than those that are smaller from China. This result shows that particles smaller than $2.5\;{\mu}m$ among dust exist much during July~August and December~January and 76.7% of minute dust is proved to be road transportation in Gwangju.

In the modern era, the elementary schools in the Republic of Korea are advanced with the competitive world. Thus advancement in technology, and other factors in the elementary schools are releases some kind of particulate matter (PM), which causes deleterious effects on school students health, academic program, growth and development. The school students are susceptible to PM particularly, PM₁₀ and PM_2.5. Based on this hazardous effect of PM on school students we conducted the research on the elementary schools class rooms by introducing vertical gardening system to get the schools "ever green". The main aim of this study is to investigate the environmental factors in the educational effect program in the class rooms and indoor air quality changes. For the educational effect, the 4th operation program was applied to 2 schools for 2 hours once a month from September to December 2019. Each school conducted a survey on satisfaction, plant friendliness, and environmental sensibilities, targeting classes that participated in the green school program and those who did not. The environmental effects were monitored by installing indoor air quality facility in the program participating classes and the non-participating classes. From November 2019 to December 2019, three factors were measured: PM10, PM2.5, and humidity. The results were analyzed by T-test using the SPSS 24.0 software program. As a result of the analysis, student's overall satisfaction with the program and their intention to re-engage were high in terms of educational effect. It was also found to be effective in emotional, educational, social, and physical aspects. In particular, it was found that there was a statistically significant effect on improving plant friendliness in terms of plant friendliness and environmental sensitivity. In terms of environmental effects, it was found that there was a significant difference between the program-applied and non-programmed classes in PM10, PM2.5, and humidity. Through this study, it was confirmed that the plant education program using vertical gardens is effective in both the educational effect and the improvement of indoor air quality in the classroom. In conclusion, vertical gardening system in the elementary schools should implement for the beneficial of young generation development and back bone to the nation.

본 논문은 실내에 잔존하는 직경 1[${\mu}m$] 이하의 미세먼지들을 집진하기 위하여 전기집진기를 설계하였으며, 이때 집진 효율의 극대화를 위하여 전계와 동시에 자계를 수직 및 수평으로 배치함에 따른 실험실 공기중에 포함된 미세먼지의 집진특성에 대하여 논하였다. 전계에 수평으로 자계를 인가한 경우는 자계의 유무 및 자석의 수량에 관계없이 집진효율이 거의 일정하게 나타났으며, 자석을 수평으로 배치하여 전계에 수직으로 인가한 경우는 비자화 페라이트 막대를 부착한 경우보다 약 5[%] 이상 집진효율이 향상되었다. 또한, 자계를 전계에 수직으로 인가하는 방법에 있어서, 자석을 접지전극의 가운데 정렬한 경우는 인가전압 5[kV]에서의 집진효율이 $17{\sim}32[%]$로서 자석을 앞쪽에 설치한 경우와 유사하였으며, 지그재그 및 안쪽 끝에 정렬시킨 경우는 집진효율이 $17{\sim}38[%]$로서 향상되었으며, 특히 0.7 및 1[${\mu}m$]의 굵은 입자들에 대한 집진특성이 양호하였다. 따라서, 전기집진기의 집진특성을 향상시키기 위해서는 자계를 전계에 수직으로 접지전극의 중간 또는 지그재그 식으로 배치하는 것이 가장 적절한 것으로 판단된다.

Objectives: A great number of hazardous agents can be emitted from various types of art-creation in a fine arts college, but little data on exposure assessment has been published. A variety of processes encompassing toxic or non-toxic materials, tools, and components are involved in a sculptor work at a fine art college. The aim of this study was to assess exposure levels to particulates and noise during sculpture classes in a college of fine arts. Methods: Students in sculpture classes participated in this study. Mass, number, and surface area concentrations of particulates, noise level, temperature and relative humidity were monitored by both personal and area sampling during the tasks of metal, wood, and stone sculpting. Results: The number and surface concentration of particulates was the highest in the task of wood sculpting, followed by metal and stone work. The mass concentration of particulates was the highest in stone sculpting (personal GM 3.0 mg/$m^3$, GSD 3.0), followed by wood (personal GM 1.5 mg/$m^3$, GSD 1.8) and metal work (personal GM 0.95 mg/$m^3$, GSD 1.51) in that order. Occupational exposure limits (OEL) for particulates depends on the type of particulate. For wood dust, 86% (six subjects) of the personal samples and all area samples exceeded the Korean OEL for wood dust (1 mg/$m^3$), while 20% (two subjects) among stone sculpting students were exposed above the Korean OEL (10 mg/$m^3$). In contrast, metal sculpting did not exceed the OEL (5 mg/$m^3$). For noise level, metal sculpting students (Leq 95.1 dB(A) in the morning, 85.3 dB(A) in the afternoon) were exposed the most, followed by stone sculpting (88.3 dB(A)), and wood sculpting (84.8 dB(A)) in that order. Compared with the 90 dB(A) of the Korean OEL and 85 dB(A) of the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists' threshold limit value (ACGIH-TLV) for noise, 100% of the subjects (five subjects) and area samples during metal sculpting in the morning session exceeded both OELs, but only three subjects (60%) exceeded the ACGIH-TLV in the afternoon session. For stone sculpting, 50% (one subject) and 100% (two subjects) exceeded the Korean OEL and ACGIH-TLV, respectively, but the area sample did not exceed either OEL. During wood sculpting, two subjects (40%) exceeded ACGIH TLV. Conclusions: This work evaluated the sculptors' exposure to particulate matter and noise in fine art college, and revealed a poor working environment for the participating students. Effective measures should be supplemented by the administration of colleges.

2008년 4월에서 2009년 1월 사이에 진동만 미더덕의 섭식 생태를 설명하기 위하여 $20{\mu}m$ 이상(coarse particulate organic matter, CPOM) 그리고 $0.7{\mu}m$ 이상 $20{\mu}m$ 이하(fine POM)의 크기가 나누어진 각각의 부유입자유기물과 미더덕에 대한 ${\delta}^{13}C$ 과 ${\delta}^{15}N$ 값의 월별 변동을 비교 분석하였다. CPOM과 FPOM의 ${\delta}^{13}C$ 및 ${\delta}^{15}N$을 월별로 비교한 결과 전체적으로 CPOM(평균 $-18.5{\pm}1.2$‰, $9.3{\pm}0.7$‰)이 FPOM(평균 $-20.5{\pm}1.5$‰, $8.4{\pm}0.5$‰)에 비해 유의하게 높은 값을 나타내었다. 미더덕의 ${\delta}^{13}C$과 ${\delta}^{15}N$ 값은 각각 평균 $-18.9({\pm}1.7)$‰과 $11.6({\pm}0.7)$‰로 나타났는데, 이와 같은 비값들은 CPOM 보다는 FPOM의 월별 변동과 비슷한 경향을 보여 이들이 CPOM에 비하여 상대적으로 FPOM에 더 높은 영양 의존도를 가진다는 것을 강하게 시사해 주었다. 그러나 미더덕의 먹이원으로서 CPOM과 FPOM의 상대적인 중요성은 시기에 따른 각 요소의 가용성(availability)에 크게 의존하는 것으로 나타났는데, 이와 같은 결과는 부유입자물질의 크기에 관계없이 미더덕에 의한 비선택적 먹이 섭식을 잘 반영하는 듯 하였다. 본 연구 결과는 미더덕의 지속적인 양식생산을 유지하기 위해 가용 먹이원으로서 식물플랑크톤과 함께 미소 부유입자유기물의 유용성을 고려해야함을 잘 나타내 주었다.
