본 연구에서는, 동시에 넓은 면적을 조사할 수 있는 형태의 유전체 장벽 방전을 이용한 대기압 면방전 플라즈마 발생장치를 이용하여 곰팡이의 살균 실험을 수행하였다. 실험에 사용한 면방전 플라즈마 발생장치의 파워는 사인파 교류전원을 이용하였으며, 1.4~2.3 kV의 방전전압을 가진다. 또한, 유전체 전기용량의 특성으로 인하여 전압과 전류의 위상차는 약 80도를 갖는다. 생물시료에 미치는 온도의 영향은 공랭식 쿨러를 사용하여 유전체의 열을 배출함으로써 최소화 하였으며, 시료의 온도는 온도측정장치를 사용하여 쿨러(Cooler) 작동 시 최대 10분간 플라즈마를 발생시켜도 37도가 넘지 않음을 확인하였다. 플라즈마에서 생성되는 활성종중 오존($O_3$)의 양은 플라즈마 발생부로부터 1 cm 이내에서 약 25~30 ppm이 측정되었으며, 150 cm 떨어진 지점에서도 5 ppm 정도 측정되었다. 그에 비해 일산화질소(NO)나 이산화질소($NO_2$)는 거의 검지되지 않음을 확인하였다. 증류수 속에 담긴 빵 곰팡이 포자를 면방전 플라즈마 발생장치로 처리하였을 때, 포자의 발아율은 처리시간 및 출력파워가 증가함에 따라 급격히 감소하였으며, MTT (3-(4,5-dimethy lthiazol-2yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide) 측정법을 통해 분석한 미토콘드리아 활성도도 처리시간과 출력파워에 비례하여 감소함을 보았다. 반면 포자를 Vogel's minimal 배양액에 넣고 플라즈마 처리를 하면, 앞의 실험과 달리 살균효과가 미비함을 보였는데, 이를 통해 포자를 둘러싸고 있는 환경이 플라즈마의 살균효과에 영향을 미치는 것으로 보여진다. 본 연구를 통하여 유전체 장벽을 이용한 면방전 플라즈마 발생장치는 플라즈마 제트(jet)와는 달리 직접적인 접촉 없이도 미생물 살균이 가능하다는 것을 보여주었으며, 이는 면방전 플라즈마 발생장치로부터 발생하는 활성종들이 곰팡이와 같은 미생물의 비활성화에 주요역할을 하기 때문이라고 본다.

The climate of stall significantly influences on animal production ability. High concentration of ammonia gas, $CO_2$ and lots of dust are found in modern densely raising stall system, as results, they provide a negative influence on animal and farmer health, and production ability. Therefore, it is necessary to keep clean the inside air of stall to increase the productivity. An air cleaner of wet type, consisting of a fan, a motor, rotating discs, a dust collector, a water bowl, an ozone generator etc, has been developed to clean the stall air. The work principle is that the inside air is sucked through the fan, and the rotating discs make water into fineness spray and blow into the stall. The rest water flows down to the dust collector. In the present study, we measured the dust, ammonia gas, odor, temperature and humidity in a swine stall that were installed two wet air cleaners with 700 fattening swine with On-mode and Off-mode of wet air cleaners. The dust measure was divided into 3 categories, TSP, $PM_{10}$, and $PM_{2.5}$. In summer, the TSP in on-mode were maximum $0.259mg/m^3$ and minimum $0.128mg/m^3$, and the average was $0.195mg/m^3$. These are comparable to the data from Off-mode stall that maximum $0.308mg/m^3$, minimum $0.139mg/m^3$, and average $0.277mg/m^3$. However, $PM_{10}$ and $PM_{2.5}$ showed any significant differences between the tests. The concentrations of ammonia gas in Off-mode stall were maximum 13.8 ppm and minimum 5.9 ppm, and the average was 8.47 ppm. However in On-mode stall the ammonia gas concentrations were maximum 10.5 ppm and minimum 5.5 ppm, and the average was 7.63 ppm. The concentration of ammonia gas in On-mode was 10% in average lower than off-mode stall. Odor was measured by olfactometer. In the Off-mode stall, the odor unit were maximum 420 $Ou/m^3$ and minimum $300\;OU/m^3$, and the average was $367\;OU/m^3$, but in the On-mode stall the odor unit were maximum $330\;OU/m^3$ and minimum $210\;OU/m^3$, and the average was $253\;OU/m^3$. Odor removal efficiency was about 31% in On-mode stall.

The construction, development and maintenance of an economically, environmentally and socially sustainable campus involves the integration of measuring tools and technical information that invites and encourages the community to know the actual state to generate positive actions for reducing the negative impacts over the local environment. At the Universidad Nacional de Colombia - Campus $Bogot{\acute{a}}$, a public area with daily traffic of more than 25000 people, the Environmental Management Bureau has committed with the monitoring of the noise pollution and air quality, as support to the campaigns aiming to reduce the pollutant emissions associated to the student's activities and campus operation. The target of this study is based in the implementation of mobile air quality and sonometry monitoring equipment, the mapping of the actual air quality and noise pollution inside the university campus as a novel methodology for a sub-area inside a megacity. This results and mapping are proposed as planning tool for the institution administrative sections. A mobile Kunak$^{(R)}$ Air & OPC air monitoring station with the capability to measure particulate matter $PM_{10}$, $PM_{2.5}$, Ozone ($O_3$), Sulfur Oxide ($SO_2$), Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Nitrogen Oxide ($NO_2$) as well as Temperature, Relative Humidity and Latitude and Longitude coordinates for the data georeferenciation; and a sonometer Cirrus$^{(R)}$ 162B Class 2 were used to perform the measurements. The measurements took place in conditions of academic activity and without it, with the aim of identify the impacts generated by the campus operation. Using the free code geographical information software QGIS$^{(R)}$ 2.18, the maps of each variable measured were developed, and the impacts generated by the operation of the campus were identified qualitative and quantitively. For the measured variables, an increase of around 21% for the $L_{Aeq}$ noise level and around 80% to 90% for air pollution were detected during the operation period.

The climate of urban area is an unstable type with considerable seasonal variation in precipitation wind speed, and temperature and it grows worse. Besides, ozone is a serious air pollutant in most of large cities. So worldwide, some of large cities are investing in forestry options to offset their climate problems, but lack of information has hindered comparisons of urban un cost effectiveness to other options. This research intends to study the economic benefits of tree shading of 19 parking lots in UCD campus. The economic benefits of tree shading are air conditioning savings, air quality, stormwater run-off, and other benefits. Especially, this study focuses how much the economic benefit of parking lot shading has been increased from 1995 to 2003 year by aerophoto. Some data on dimensions of parking lots and the number, size, tree species, and location of trees around each parking lot was inventoried. Two aerophotos(1995,2003) were used in order to analyze the increasement of tree canopy in 19 parking lots for 8 years. However, increasing coverage of trees and managing them for healthy growth would not be sufficient for avoiding adverse impacts by future climate change. Additional measures should be followed such as an increase of energy use efficiency and development of substitute energy. For example, coverage of trees help to save cooling energy by blocking solar radiation reaching parking cars and building structures through shading, and creating cool micro-climates through evapotranspiration. They also reduce heating demand by decreasing air infiltration and heat conduction out of the interior of buildings. Proper arrangement of vegetation over the parking lots can reduce cooling and heating costs. So proper planting design around hard space paving including species selection and location can significantly save cooling and heating energy. And a reduction in car and building's heating and cooling costs results in the reduction in energy demand which causes to emissions of air pollutants. Total increased tree canopy from 1995 to 2003 is $8,470.45m^2$ and the economic benefits is US$ 5,282.10. The economic benefit of one tree has been US$ 7.21 for 8 years. And an annually increased benefit is US$ 0.9 per a tree. If this kind of study is applied to studying the economic benefits of tree canopy in parking lots of Korea, it could result in guidelines of tree planting of parking lots. Because the trees selected for planting in parking lots were not suitable for an environment, the guidelines should contain a recommended list of trees. The guidelines should propose the shading percentage of parking lot when we plan a parking lot and contain the maintenance of trees in order to maximize the economic benefits of tree canopy.

In this study, semi-continuous measurements of $PM_{2.5}$ mass, organic and elemental carbon (OC and EC), black carbon (BC), and ionic species concentrations were made for the period of April 03~13, 2012, at a South Area Supersite at Gwangju. Possible sources causing the high concentrations of major chemical species in $PM_{2.5}$ observed during a haze episode were investigated. The measurement results, along with meteorological parameters, gaseous pollutants data, air mass back trajectory analyses and PSCF (potential source contribution function) results, were used to study the haze episode. Substantial enhancements of OC, EC, BC, $K^+$, $SO{_4}^{2-}$, $NO{_3}{^-}$, $NH{_4}{^+}$, and CO concentrations were closely associated with air masses coming from regions of forest fires in southeastern China, suggesting likely an impact of the forest fires. Also the PSCF maps for EC, OC, $SO{_4}^{2-}$, and $K^+$ demonstrate further that the long-range transport of smoke plumes of forest fires detected over the southeastern China could be a possible source of haze phenomena observed at the site. Another possible source leading to haze formation was likely from photochemistry of precursor gases such as volatile organic compounds, $SO_2$, and $NO_2$, resulting in accumulation of secondary organic aerosol, $SO{_4}^{2-}$ and $NO{_3}{^-}$. Throughout the episode, local wind directions were between 200 and $230^{\circ}C$, where two industrial areas are situated, with moderate wind speeds of 3~5 m/s, resulting in highly elevated concentration of $SO_2$ with a maximum of 15 ppb. The $SO{_4}^{2-}$ peak occurring in the afternoon hours coincided with maximum ambient temperature ($24^{\circ}C$) and ozone concentration (~100 ppb), and were driven by photochemistry of $SO_2$. As a result, the pattern of $SO{_4}^{2-}$ variations in relation to wind direction, $SO_2$ and $O_3$ concentrations, and the strong correlation between $SO_2$ and $SO{_4}^{2-}$ ($R^2=0.76$) suggests that in addition to the impact of smoke plumes from forest fires in the southeastern China, local $SO_2$ emissions were likely an important source of $SO{_4}^{2-}$ leading to haze formation at the site.

There are two kinds of commercially available ginseng root, red ginseng and white ginseng processed from fresh ginseng root Those ginsengs are primary product from fresh ginseng root and have the characteristic of keeping their original root shape Processed ginseng products are made from either red ginseng or white ginseng by way of complicated process of pulverization. Extraction. Condensation, fettering, sterilization, etc. Among them there are extracts. extract powder, powder, capsules tablets, Candy, drinks, nectar, jelly, gums. chicken soup. tonic. etc. to meet the demand for consumer's pretheronce . The 200 kinds of processed secondary products are approximately produced in the form of 20 kinds of ginseng products by about 60 domestic companies. In spite of about 213.000 million won of domestic market in 1993. it seems like that the ginseng market of the future has not a good prospects The total market sale of white ginseng in Korea has been continuously decreased since 1991 And 963 tons of white ginseng was consumed in domestic market in 1993 The domestic market sales of white ginseng in origina1 root shave. was 90, 000 million won in 1993 and market price of the fine root used as a source of processed products has not been changed in these ten years. The total market sale of red ginseng and its processed products was 58, 000 million won in 1993 9.800 mi11ion won of red ginseng in original root shape and 48.000mi11ion of processed red ginseng product. Ginseng products such as extracts, drinks, teas and tonics etc atre mostly exported to south-east Asia. And the total exports of ginseng pi.oducts (extracts, drinks teas) decreased to 54 million dollars in 1994, compared with 85 million dollars in 1992. Despite of extensive knowledge about ginseng little is still known about the development of new processed ginseng pl.oducts because of "Know-How". Some papars have presented the effects of extracting method(amounts of solvent. time. temperature, equipment. etc.) on the quality and yields of ginseng extr acts. Also. some researchers have carried out a few studies on the poriflcation of the extracts and the amounts of precipitation in the drink at variotas pH during the storage for preventinly drink from precipitation. A fell studies on the preservation of Korean ginseng powder. tea. Extract powder by irradiation and ozone treatment have been reported by some researcher for the improvement hygienic quality of ginseng products There are also some reports about the effects of ginseng components on the acid production by lactic acid bacteria or acetic acid bacteria. and alcohol production by yeast for the development of new ginseng products processed by fermentation. To make ginseng more able to contribute to the health of mankind in the future. consistent and considerable efforts should be focussed on improving the taste of ginseng and developing various new product as a health food or a function food.tion food.

할론 소화약제는 오존층파괴지수와 지구온난화지수가 높아 환경문제를 야기하며, 이의 대체기술의 일환으로 미세물분무에 대한 관심이 집중하고 있다. 미세물분무에 대한 연구로는 적용화재에 보다 효과적인 소화를 위한 최적의 물입자를 만들려는 연구와 함께 첨가제를 이용하여 미세물분무의 소화성능을 향상시키기 위한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구는 이전 연구$^{1)}$ 에서 제시한 순수한 미세물분무의 입자크기, 방사분포 및 화염크기에 따른 ethanol과 n-heptane 화염의 진압특성과 소화시간에 대한 연구를 기반으로, 여기에 미세물분무의 물리적 소화성능의 향상과 화학적 소화성능을 부여하기 위해 첨가제를 첨가하였을 때의 성능을 평가하고 최적의 조건을 구하고자 하였다. 실험결과, ethanol panl 화염에 7N3노즐을 4kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$로 방사한 경우 0.3% AFFF와 2.5wt% NaCl를 첨가한 미세물분무는 순수한 미세물분무 보다 27%와 60% 빠른 소화시간을 나타냈다. AFFF의 첨가는 연료표면 위에서 얇은 막을 형성하여 화염으로부터 연료 표면으로 되돌아오는 열을 감소하므로 연료표면에서의 화염온도 감소와 함께 n-heptane 연료의 증발을 감소함으로서 소화가 이루어지는 것으로 판단되며, 또한 알칼리 염인 2.5wt% NaCl을 첨가한 경우 화염면에 알칼리염 결정체가 형성되는 현상이 나타났다.

Bromotrifluoromethane(halon-1301)과 bromochlorodifluoromethane(halon-1211)은 우수한 열역학적 성질에 의해 소화제로 널리 사용되어 오고 있다. 그러나 halon-1301과 halon-1211의 사용과 생산은 국제 환경조약인 Montreal protocol에 의해 점차 사용이 중지되고 있으며, 본격적인 규제에 대한 대책 마련이 요구되는 시점에 있다. 그리하여, 할론 사용규제와 더불어 각국은 할론 소화제 대신 HFCs를 사용하는 방안이 제시되었으며, 이미 선진국에서는 다양한 종류의 소화제 개발을 발표하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 대체 소화제로서 소화제의 배출시간을 단축시켜주는 가압가스 nitrogen과 halon 대체 물질인 HFCs 계열 물질중 chlorodifluoromethane(HFC-22), pentafluoroethane(HFC-125), 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane(HFC-l34a)을 선정하여 이들간의 이성분계 혼합물에 대한 상호 용해력을 알아보기 위해 상평형을 측정하였다. 상평형은 기-액 순환이 동시에 이루어지는 circultion type 장치에서 측정되었으며, 실험온도는 실제 소화제 저장탱크의 온도범위인 283.15-303.15K로 선정하였고, 압력범위는 이 온도범위에서 탱크에 걸릴 수 있는 최저압력과 최고압력보다 충분히 여유를 두어 3.0-10.0 MPa조건에서 실험하였다. 실험데이터는 Peng-Robinson 상태방정식 및 Wong-Sandler mixing rules을 사용하여 혼합물의 거동을 예측하였고, 이를 실험 결과와 비교 검토하였다.

기후변화협약에 이은 교토의정서가 발효되면서 온실가스 저감은 세계적인 당면 문제가 되어 있는 가운데 청정개발체제(CDM) 및 공동이행(JI) 등을 통한 배출권 확보가 국가적인 경쟁이 되고 있다. 이산화탄소($CO_2$) 및 메탄가스($CH_4$)와 더불어 대표적인 온실가스의 하나인 $N_2O$는 온난화효과가 $CO_2$에 비해 310배에 이르며 120년의 분해기간이 소요될 만큼 대기 중에서 매우 안정하여 성층권에서 오존층을 파괴하는 물질로 알려져 있다. 또한 $N_2O$는 분해하기가 쉽지 않아 고온 열분해 시키는 방법 외에 $400^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 촉매에 의해 선택적으로 분해시키는 방법이 알려져 있으나 대개 NOx가 같이 존재하여 $N_2O$ 분해를 방해하는 역할을 한다. 본 보문은 국내외의 $N_2O$ 발생원에 대한 내역과 더불어 각종 온실가스 저감사업에 의한 배출권 거래현황과 탄소시장의 성장 및 $N_2O$ 저감사업의 위치, $N_2O$ 촉매 분해에 관한 기술개발의 현황과 방향, 그리고 CDM 사업으로서의 전망 등을 분석 집약하였다.
