Atmospheric nitrogen containing organic compounds(e.g. amino acids) has attracted considerable attention from the viewpoint of the oceanic biogeochemical cycle of nitrogen as well as the long range transfer. However, only a few measurements of organic nitrogen compounds have been conducted due to analytical difficulties. In this study, total of nine amino acids such as Glutamic acid, Histidine, Arginine, Tyrosine, Cystine, Valine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Lysine have been analytically determined by Liquid Chromatography - Mass Spectrometry Mass Spectrometry (LC-MSMS). As results, Fragmentor Voltage (FV), Precursor Ion, Collision Energy, Product Ion related to individual amino acid compounds are shown. Based on the operational conditions, Lysine, Glutamine Acid, Tyrosine were analyzed during the China Oriented Smog Period. High concentrations of Lysine, Glutamine Acid, and Tyrosine are discussed with organic carbon (OC), elemental carbon (EC), and water soluble ions. The results can provide to understand the sources with aging process related to amino acids influenced by the long-range transport from the Yellow Sea area.

In this study, we investigated the effects of three land uses on soil properties in two soil layers; surface soil (0~15 cm) and subsoil (15~30 cm). Soil samples were collected from planted forest, barren lands and cultivated lands from different areas in Chittagong Cox's Bazar and analyzed for some physical and chemical properties. Results showed that soil textural class varied from sandy clay loam in planted forest and barren land site to sandy loam in cultivated soils. Maximum water holding capacity was higher in forest followed by barren land and the lowest in cultivated lands. At both soil depths, soils of cultivated land showed the highest values of bulk density (1.42 to $1.50g\;cm^{-3}$), followed by barren lands (1.37 to $1.46g\;cm^{-3}$) and the least (1.32 to $1.45g\;cm^{-3}$) in forest soils. Total porosity decreased with depth ranging from 40.24% to 41.53% in subsoils and from 42.04 to 43.23% in surface soil of cultivated and of planted forest sites respectively. The result further revealed that organic carbon (OC) and total nitrogen (TN) contents were higher in the planted forest soil than in other two land uses. The soils of all land uses under study are acidic in nature and the lowest pH was found in both surface and subsoils of barren land. Cultivated soil contained the highest amount of available P, Ca, Mg and K in both surface soil and subsoils. In contrast, barren site had the lowest contents of available P, Ca, Mg and K in both layers. The soil organic carbon (SOC) and total N storage were higher in planted forest than in barren and cultivated land uses.

The environmental behaviors of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are mainly governed by their solubility and partitioning properties on soil media in a subsurface system. In surfactant-enhanced remediation (SER) systems, surfactant plays a critical role in remediation. In this study, sorptive behaviors and partitioning of naphthalene in soils in the presence of surfactants were investigated. Silica and kaolin with low organic carbon contents and a natural soil with relatively higher organic carbon content were used as model sorbents. A nonionic surfactant, Triton X-100, was used to enhance dissolution of naphthalene. Sorption kinetics of naphthalene onto silica, kaolin and natural soil were investigated and analyzed using several kinetic models. The two compartment first-order kinetic model (TCFOKM) was fitted better than the other models. From the results of TCFOKM, the fast sorption coefficient of naphthalene ($k_1$) was in the order of silica > kaolin > natural soil, whereas the slow sorbing fraction ($k_2$) was in the reverse order. Sorption isotherms of naphthalene were linear with organic carbon content ($f_{oc}$) in soils, while those of Triton X-100 were nonlinear and correlated with CEC and BET surface area. Sorption of Triton X-100 was higher than that of naphthalene in all soils. The effectiveness of a SER system depends on the distribution coefficient ($K_D$) of naphthalene between mobile and immobile phases. In surfactant-sorbed soils, naphthalene was adsorbed onto the soil surface and also partitioned onto the sorbed surfactant. The partition coefficient ($K_D$) of naphthalene increased with surfactant concentration. However, the $K_D$ decreased as the surfactant concentration increased above CMC in all soils. This indicates that naphthalene was partitioned competitively onto both sorbed surfactants (immobile phase) and micelles (mobile phase). For the mineral soils such as silica and kaolin, naphthalene removal by mobile phase would be better than that by immobile phase because the distribution of naphthalene onto the micelles ($K_{mic}$) increased with the nonionic surfactant concentration (Triton X-100). For the natural soil with relatively higher organic carbon content, however, the naphthalene removal by immobile phase would be better than that by mobile phase, because a high amount of Triton X-100 could be sorbed onto the natural soil and the sorbed surfactant also could sorb the relatively higher amount of naphthalene.

저층 퇴적물내 탄소와 질소성분의 조절인자를 파악하기 위한 광역적 환경조사가 1997년부터 2002년까지 서경 131.5도를 중심으로 북위 5도에서 17도 사이에서 수행되었다. 위도에 따라 지역적인 분포를 보이는 연구지역의 퇴적물은 네 가지로 분류할 수 있다; 석회질 연니($5{\sim}6^{\circ}N$), 규질 퇴적물($8{\sim}12^{\circ}N$), 원양성 적점토($16{\sim}17^{\circ}N$), 석회질과 규질이 섞여 있는 혼합 퇴적물($7^{\circ}N$). 무기탄소함량은 탄산염보상심도(CCD)와 수심에 의해 변하고 있었다. 수심이 CCD보다 얕은 저위도 지역에서는 석회질 물질이 잘 보존되고 있었다. 반면 규질 퇴적물과 적점토가 우세한 고위도 지역은 수심이 CCD보다 깊을 뿐만이 아니라 낮은 수층 생산성을 가지고 있다. 따라서 대부분의 석회질 물질들은 용해되고 그 결과 퇴적층내 무기탄소함량은 0.05%이하의 낮은 값을 나타내었다. 유기탄소와 총질소함량은 수층의 생산력이 상대적으로 높은 규질 퇴적물지역이 적점토지역보다 함량이 높게 나타났다. 석회질 연니내 유기탄소와 총질소 함량은 규질 퇴적물보다 낮게 나타났다. 이는 상대적으로 낮은 수심에 기인된 저층으로 유입되는 석회질 물질의 높은 유입율이 퇴적층내 유기물 함량을 희석하기 때문인 것으로 추정된다. 전체적인 결과들은 CCD와 연관된 수심, 수층의 생산력, 그리고 퇴적율이 연구지역내 탄소와 질소함량의 광역적 분포를 조절하고 있음을 지시한다.

The purpose of this study was to develop the $PM_{2.5}$ source profiles for diesel and gasoline-powered vehicles, which contained mass abundances in terms of mass fraction of $PM_{2.5}$ of chemical species. Seven diesel-powered vehicles and nine gasoline-powered vehicles were sampled from a chassis dynamometer exhaust dilution system. The species measured were water-soluble ions, elements, elemental carbon (EC), and organic carbon (OC). From this study, the large abundances of EC (54.5%), OC (26.0%), ${SO_4}^{2-}$ (1.5%), ${NO_3}^-$ (0.8%), and S (0.6%) were observed from the diesel-powered vehicle exhaust showing that carbons were dominant species. The gasoline-powered vehicle exhaust emitted large abundances of OC (38.3%), EC (4.2%), ${SO_4}^{2-}$ (3.6%), ${NH_4}^+$ (3.5%), and ${NO_3}^-$ (3.0%). The abundances of ${SO_4}^{2-}$, ${NH_4}^+$, and ${NO_3}^-$ from gasoline vehicle were greater than those of diesel vehicle. The emissions of P, S, Ca, Fe, and Zn among trace elements for the gasoline vehicle were greater than 1% of the $PM_{2.5}$ mass unlike those for the diesel vehicle. Particularly, the fraction of Zn was five times higher from the gasoline vehicle than that from the diesel vehicle. The source profiles developed in this work were intensively examined by applying chemical mass balance model.

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.

유기물함량이 다른 감귤원 토양을 대상으로 GUS, RF 및 AF 값을 비교하여 감귤원에서 많이 사용되고 있는 농약 종류별 지하수 오염 잠재성을 평가하였다. GUS에 의하면 metribuzin과 metolachlor는 조사된 모든 토양통에서 용탈 가능성이 큰 것으로 평가되었으며, alachlor와 linuron도 대부분 토양에서 용탈가능성이 높은 것으로 평가되었으며 linuron의 경우에는 특히 비화산회토양에서 용탈의 가능성이 매우 높은 것으로 나타났다. Diuron과 diniconazole은 대부분 토양에서 용탈 가능성이 없는 것으로 평가되었고, chlorothalonil과 chlorpyrifos는 유기물 함량에 관계없이 용탈 가능성이 없는 것으로 평가되었다. RF에 의한 평가에서는 diniconazole, chlorothalonil, chlorpyrifos는 모든 토양에서, linuron과 diuron은 일부 비화산회토를 제외한 모든 토양에서 이동성이 매우 낮은 것으로 분류되었으며, metolachlor와 alachlor는 대부분의 토양에서 이동성이 보통인 것으로, metribuzin은 유기탄소함량이 낮은 토양에서 오염 잠재성이 있는 것으로 평가되었다. AF에 의하면 diniconazole, chlorothalonil, chloipyrifos는 화산회토, 비화산회토에 관계없이 지하수 오염 잠재성이 없는 것으로 평가되었으며, 반면 metribuzin은 화산회토, 비화산회토에 관계없이 오염 잠재성이 있는 것으로 평가되었다. Metolachlor는 비화산회토에서 지하수 오염 잠재성이 있는 것으로 평가되었고, alachlor, linuron 및 diuron은 유기물 함량이 낮은 일부 비화산회토에서만 지하수 오염 잠재성이 우려되는 것으로 나타났다. 농약의 용탈잠재성은 용해도, 흡착성, 잔류성 등의 약제 자체의 특성과 함께 유기물 함량, 투수성 등 토양의 물리화학적 특성에 따라서 결정된다. 본 연구의 결과를 보면 이러한 일반적인 원칙이 각 농약의 용탈잠재성 지수에 그대로 반영되었는데, 용해도가 높고, 흡착성이 약하며 잔류성이 긴 약제일수록 대부분의 토양에서 용탈잠재성이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 토양의 특성 중에서는 특히 농약의 흡착에 직접 영향을 미치는 유기물 함량이 용탈잠재성 지수를 결정하는 중요한 요인으로 볼 수 있는데, 본 연구의 결과에서도 일반적으로 유기물 함량이 높은 화산회 토양에서는 농약의 용탈잠재성이 비화산회토양에 비교하여 낮은 것으로 나타났으며, 용해도가 높고 흡착성이 매우 낮은 약제인 metribuzin의 경우에도 투수성이 상대적으로 높은 화산회 토양에서보다 투수성이 낮은 비화산회토양에서 용탈 가능성이 높게 평가된 것으로 보아 대부분 농약의 용탈잠재성을 결정하는데 있어 토양의 투수성 보다도 유기물 함량이 더욱 중요하게 영향을 미치는 것으로 판단할 수 있다. 따라서 비화산회토를 위주로 한 유기물 함량이 낮은 토양이 분포된 지역의 지하수가 농약의 오염에 취약할 것으로 판단할 수 있으며, 이들 지역에서는 용탈잠재성이 높은 것으로 평가된 약제들의 사용을 최대한 제한함으로써 제주도 피하수의 농약 오염을 방지할 수 있을 것이다. 물론 제주도 감귤원에서는 토양의 유기물 함량과 약제의 흡착성을 우선적으로 고려하여 사용할 농약을 선택해야 할 것으로 보이나, 그 외 약제의 잔류성, 사용량, 사용시기와 함께 기후조건, 토양의 투수성, 토층이 깊이, 지하수 깊이 등의 지역적인 특성들이 농약의 용탈잠재성에 미치는 영향도 더욱 구체적으로 파악되어야 할 것이며 농약의 선택 과정에서도 이러한 특성들이 앞으로 고려되어야 할 것이다.

To investigate the effect of aircraft traffic emissions on soil pollution, metal levels were analyzed for 8 metals (Fe, Cr, Pb, Zn, Cu, Ni, Mn and Cd) from the vicinity of the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) airport in Delhi, India. The texture of the airport soil was observed to be sandy. Among the metals, Cd showed minimum concentration ($2.07{\mu}g\;g^{-1}$), while Fe showed maximum concentration ($4379{\mu}g\;g^{-1}$). The highest metal accumulation was observed at the landing site. Significant correlations were observed between metals and different textures (sand, silt, and clay) as well as with organic carbon (OC). The results indicate that grain size play a major role in OC retention in soil and subsequently helps in adsorption of metals in soil. M$\ddot{u}$ller's geoaccumulation index (I-geo) showed that airport soil was contaminated due to Cd and Pb with the pollution class 2 and 1, respectively. Pollution load index of the airport site was 1.34-3 times higher than the background site. The results of factor analysis suggested that source of the soil metal is mainly from natural weathering of soil, aircraft exhaust, and automobile exhaust from near by area. With respect to Dutch target values, the airport soils showed ~3 times higher Cd concentration. The study highlighted the future risk of enhanced metal pollution with respect to Cd and Pb due to aircraft trafficking.

Biomass and community composition of microphytobentos in tidal flats were studied by HPLC analysis and also investigated to examine the relationship between microphytobenthic pigments and Adenosine-5' triphosphate (ATP) as an index of total microbial biomass in intertidal environments (muddy and sandy sediment) of Gyeonggi Bay, west coast of Korea. Microphytobenthic pigments and ATP concentration in muddy sediment were the highest at the surface while the biomass of microphytobenthos in sandy sediment was the highest at the sub-surface (0.75 cm sediment depth). The detected pigments of microphytobenthos were chlorophyll a, b (euglenophytes), $c_3$, peridinin (dinoflagellates), fucoxanthin (diatom or chrysophytes), diadinoxanthin, alloxanthin (cryptophytes), diatoxanthin, zeaxanthin (cyanobacteria), ${\beta}$-carotein, and pheophytin a (the degraded product of chlorophyll a). Among the pigments which were detected, the concentration of fucoxanthin was the highest, indicating that diatoms dominated in the microphytobenthic community of the tidal flats. There was little significant correlation between OC (Organic Carbon) and ATP in both sediments. However, a positive correlation between chlorophyll a concentration and ATP concentration was found in sandy sediment, suggesting that microbial biomass could be affected by labile OC derived from microphytobenthos. These results provide information that may help us understand the relationship between microphytobenthos and microbial biomass in different intertidal sediment environments.

Quantitative assessment on the impact from North Korean emissions to surface particulate matter(PM) concentration in the Seoul Metropolitan Area (SMA), South Korea is conducted using a 3-dimensional chemistry transport model. Transboundary transport of air pollutants and their precursors are important to understand regional air quality in East Asian countries. As North Korea locates in the middle of main transport pathways of Chinese pollutants, quantifiable estimation of its impact is essential for policy making in South Korean air quality management. In this study, the Community Multiscale Air Quality Modeling System is utilized to simulate regional air quality and its sensitivity, using the Comprehensive Regional Emissions inventory for Atmospheric Transport Experiment 2015 and the Clean Air Policy Support System 2013 emissions inventories for North and South Korea, respectively. Contributions were estimated by a brute force method, perturbing 50% of North and South Korean emissions. Simulations demonstrate that North Korean emissions contribute $3.89{\mu}g/m^3$ of annual surface PM concentrations in the SMA, which accounts 14.7% of the region's average. Impacts are dominant in nitrate and organic carbon (OC) concentrations, attributing almost 40% of SMA OC concentration during January and February. Clear seasonal variations are also found in North Korean emissions contribution to South Korea (and vice versa) due to seasonal characteristics of synoptic weather, especially by the change of seasonal flow patterns.
