Experiments were conducted to identify the emissions from the car air freshener and to identify the formation of ultra-fine particles and secondary gaseous compounds during the ozone-initiated oxidations with emitted VOCs. The identified primary constituents emitted from the car air freshener in this study were $\alpha$-pinene, $\beta$-pinene, $\rho$-cymene and limonene. Formation of ultra-fine particles (4.4-160 nm) was observed when ozone was injected into the chamber containing emitted monoterpenes from the air freshener. Particle number concentrations, particle mass concentrations, and surface concentrations were measured in time dependent experiments to describe the particle formation and growth within the chamber. The irritating secondary gaseous products formed during the ozone-initiated reactions include formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, acrolein, acetone, and propionaldehyde. Ozone concentration (50 and 100 ppb) and temperature (30 and $40^{\circ}C$) significantly affect the formation of particles and gaseous products during the ozone-initiated reactions. The results obtained in this study provided an insight on the potential exposure of particles and irritating secondary products formed during the ozone-initiated reaction to passengers in confined spaces.

In this work, the effect of the initial concentration of methanol and ethanol, and the addition of oxygen molecules were discussed to improve the hydrogen generation using non-thermal plasma reactor effectively. In addition, the effect of ozone decomposition catalyst of manganese dioxide and its quantity was investigated. First, hydrogen concentration increased until an initial concentration of about 40,000[ppm] of methanol and thereafter it was saturated. Henceforth, hydrogen concentration decreased with increasing the oxygen percent on the carrier gas of nitrogen about both substances. Related with the effect of catalyst, it increased upto 60[g], but it was not changed largely after that. Consequently, it is confirmed that the hybrid process using plasma process and catalytic surface chemical reaction is a very promising way to increase the efficiency of hydrogen generation as investigated in this work.

In order to cope with environmental problems caused by harmful gases emitted from various industrial sources, a new technology which employs discharge plasma formed in ordinary atmospheric pressure has been intensively investigated in many industrialized nations. Although a plenty of useful outcomes and suggestions have been made public by scientists in this field, few commercial products which effectively decompose pollutant gases have appeared as yet. This is partly because that the energy efficiency of a most effective plasma reactor has not reached a satisfactory level in comparison with those of devices using conventional technologies. In an attempt to solve the problem mentioned above, we noticed to combine heterogeneous electrical discharges. This concepts is based on that each plasma reactor has its specific spatial region in which chemical reaction are active and by electrically affected with another reactor of different type, the activated region would increase - which may lead to cutting down the energy consumption. To prove this concept experimentally, two different discharge equipments, a plane ceramic-based surface discharge electrode and a corona electrode with tungsten needle may, are selected and combined to fabricate a hybrid plasma reactor. The results are summarized as follows; (1) Ozone concentration generated in the plasma region drastically increases when the positive corona discharge is added to the surface discharge. The rate of increase of ozone depends on the frequency of the surface discharge. The negative corona, however, does not contribute to the improvement of the ozone generation. (2) NO(nitrogen monoxide) decomposition rate also improves by simultaneously applying the surface and the positive corona discharges. The effect of the corona superposition is more evident when the level of the surface discharge is moderate. (3) By adjusting the corona level, the net energy efficiency during NO decomposition improves in comparison with the simple surface discharge reactor.

An electrochemical generation of ozonized water was investigated by using ${\beta}-PbO_2$ as an anode and tap water as an anolyte. According to the potentiometric ozone detection which utilizes potential differences arisen from a chemical reaction of ozone and iodide, increasing tendency of ozone concentration on electrolysis time could be observed to show the maximum value of 8 ppm at an electrolysis time of 10 min. Ozone could be generated promptly even at an electrolysis time of 10 sec., suggesting great advantages of this electrochemical process in terms of simplicity and readiness that might be applied directly to practical uses including medical and/ or food industries. Influences of electrolysis on the properties and surface conditions of a $PbO_2$ electrode were also discussed from the results of cyclic voltammetry, scanning electron microscope, and X-ray diffractometer.

Solar ultraviolet-B (UV-B) irradiances incident on a horizontal surface at Taegu, Korea during 1996-1998 were calculated with 5 minute averages of measurements taken every 30 seconds by a broadband UV-B sensor. The average, maximum and minimum of daily UV-B dose were 11.31, 22.04 and 3.20kJ m$^{-2}$ day$^{-1}$ , respectively, for the measuring period. Variations in stratospheric ozone concentration measured from space explain 85% of changes in the daily UV-B dose. It was expected that decrease of 50 Du in stratospheric ozone cause increase of 24.1% in daily UV-B dose in this study.

An innovative ozonizer has been developed using a high frequency, surface discharge and a high purity Ti-Si-AI ceramic catalyst as a dielectric component. Using a type of thin film, a thin cylindrical compound ceramic catalyst layer was adhered to the outside surface of its inner electrode. An alternating current (AC) exciting voltage with frequencies from 0.6 KHz to 1.0 KHz and peak-to-peak voltages of 4-6 ㎸ was applied between the electrodes to produce a stable high-frequency silent discharge. A substantial reduction of the exciting voltage was also enabled by means of a thin Ti-Si-Al ceramic catalyst tube. As a result, the ozonizer can effortlessly obtain the required ozone concentration (50-60 g/$m^2$ for oxygen) and high ozone efficiency consumption power (180 g/kWh for oxygen) with-out the assistance of any particular methods. For purposes of this experiment, oxygen gas temperature was set at 2$0^{\circ}C$, with an inner reactor pressure of 1.6 atm at 600 Hz and a flow rate of 2 l/min.

지상 오존은 차량 및 산업 현장에서 배출된 질소화합물(Nitrogen oxides; NOx)과 휘발성 유기화합물(Volatile Organic Compounds; VOCs)의 광화학 반응을 통해 생성되어 식생 및 인체에 악영향을 끼친다. 국내에서는 실시간 오존 모니터링을 수행하고 있지만 관측소 기반으로, 미관측 지역의 공간 분포 분석에 어려움이 있다. 본 연구에서는 스태킹 앙상블 기법을 활용하여 매시간 남한 지역의 지상 오존 농도를 1.5km의 공간해상도로 공간내삽하였고, 5-fold 교차검증을 수행하였다. 스태킹 앙상블의 베이스 모델로는 코크리깅(Cokriging), 다중 선형 회귀(Multi-Linear Regression; MLR), 랜덤 포레스트(Random Forest; RF), 서포트 벡터 회귀(Support Vector Regression; SVR)를 사용하였다. 각 모델의 정확도 비교 평가 결과, 스태킹 앙상블 모델이 연구 기간 내 시간별 평균 R 및 RMSE이 0.76, 0.0065ppm으로 가장 높은 성능을 보여주었다. 스태킹 앙상블 모델의 지상 오존 농도 지도는 복잡한 지형 및 도시화 변수의 특징이 잘 드러나며 더 넓은 농도 범위를 보여주었다. 개발된 모델은 매시간 공간적으로 연속적인 공간 지도를 산출할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 8시간 평균치 산출 및 시계열 분석에 있어서도 활용 가능성이 클 것으로 기대된다.

본 연구에서는 복사전달모델을 통하여 $9.7{\mu}m$오존 흡수대에 미치는 오존 및 열적(i.e., 지표 온도) 효과를 각각 조사하였다. 또한 오존주의보가 수도권 지역(37.2-37.7 N, 125.7-127.2 E)에 발령되었던 2003년 4일에 대한 위성(MODIS Aqua; ECT 13:30) 및 지상 오존(79개 관측소)의 동시 관측 자료를 기초로 지상 오존에 대한 원격탐사 방법을 제시하였다. 여기서 구름 효과를 제거하고 오존 연직 분포를 분석하기 위하여 종관기상 자료도 사용하였다. 주어진 오존 농도($327\~391$ DU)에 대하여 산출된 $9.6{\mu}m$에서의 상향 복사휘도는 표면온도 Ts = 290 K에서 $5.52\~5.78Wm^{-2}sr^{-1}$, 그리고 Ts = 325 K에서는 $9.00\~9,57Wm^{-2}sr^{-1}$이었다. 따라서 오존 흡수 세기(i.e., $11{\mu}m$와 $9.7{\mu}m$ 밝기온도 간의 차; $T_{11-9.7}$)를 이용한 오존 원격탐사 시에 세기 변화에 대한 순수한 오존 효과는$0.26Wm^{-2}sr^{-1}/64\;DU$, 그리고 열적 효과는 $0.31Wm^{-2}sr^{-1}/35 K$이었다. 본 연구에서는 흡수 세기와 지상 관측 간에 유의적인 상관을 보이는 경우에 대하여 적외선 위성 관측에서 지상 오존을 원격탐사하는 경험식을 유도하였다. 유도된 지상 오존 농도와 관측값과의 상관은 $49\~63\%$로 유의수준 $1\%$에서 유의미하였다. 경험식을 개선하기 위하여는 지상 오존 대신에 대류권 오존 자료를 사용하고, 성층권 오존 변화도 고려하는 후속 연구가 요구된다.

오존 농도와 기상 인자의 연직관측을 수행하여 오존분포와 하부 대기구조와의 관계를 분석하였다. 관측은 서울 방이동에서 2003년 6월 $6{\sim}9$일에 하루 2회씩(주 야간)총 8회에 걸쳐 이루어졌으며, 고도 5 km 이내의 관측결과를 중심으로 대기경계층 일변화와 연직 오존농도 변화를 집중분석하였다. 관측 결과, 대기경계층 내 야간안정층 및 혼합층 발달에 따라 큰 오존농도 분포변화를 확인할 수 있었다. 야간에는 안정층 내에서 $NO_x$ 적정반응으로 0에 가까운 낮은 오존농도를 나타내었다. 한편 오후에는 혼합층 내에서 비교적 일정한 오존농도 분포를 나타내며, 대기경계층 상부에서 100 ppb 이상의 최고 농도가 관측되었다. 특히 지표부근 오존농도가 높았던 6월 8일의 관측결과를 통해, 오존의 생성 소멸과 관련한 국지효과뿐만 아니라 제한된 혼합층 발달이 고농도오존 발생에 중요한 영향을 미침을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 관측 기간 중, 국지규모 이상의 수송효과에 의한 대기경계층 상부의 농도 상승과 종관기류 변화에 따른 수송 효과가 간접적으로 확인되었다. 연직 오존분포 분석에 있어 충분치 않은 관측 자료로 인해 정확한 시간적 변동을 고찰할 수 없는 한계를 보였다. 하지만 본 연구를 통해 서울지역 대기하층의 오존 분포 변화와 기상학적 특징을 살펴봄으로서 고농도오존 현상의 역학적인 이해를 도울 것으로 생각되며, 관측 결과는 도시 오존제어를 위한 광화학 수치모델링의 기초 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

In this study, we examined the effect of NO addition on the ozone-induced soot oxidation activity of $LaMnO_3$ perovskite catalysts. The addition of 10~20% NO ($NO_2$) with respect to the concentration of ozone effectively enhanced the rate of ozone-induced soot oxidation rate over $LaMnO_3$. However, the excessive addition of NO ($NO_2$) was detrimental to ozone-induced soot oxidation activity. It is supposed nitrogen oxides would adsorb on the catalyst and then react with carbon-oxygen species developed on soot surface, but an excessive addition of nitrogen oxide would inhibit the formation of carbon-oxygen species, which is a key intermediate in the reaction, and consequently suppress the oxidation rate of soot.
