This study analyzed characteristics of ozone (O₃) formation regimes in Busan over a period of recent five years (2015~2019) and compared the findings with those obtained in Seoul. We employed four observed variations: early morning commuting-hour (i.e., 06:00-09:00 LST) nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), peak-hour (i.e., 12:00-16:00 LST) O₃, 8-hour average O₃ (MDA8 O₃), and △O₃ (=O_{3_max}- O_{3_min}) in Busan and Seoul. In addition, the NO₂-O₃ relation was assessed to interpret which of NOx-limited or volatile organic compound (VOC)-limited was dominant. In Busan, the annual mean O₃ concentration was relatively higher than in Seoul, whereas there were fewer high-concentration days. The Pearson correlation coefficients (R) between Early morning-hour NO₂ and the Peak-hour O₃ was positive (but close to zero) in Busan and negative in Seoul. Likewise, the R between the Early morning-hour NO₂ and the △O₃ showed a relatively considerable positive correlation (R=+0.4~0.5)(R=+0.4~0.5) in Busan, while a weak positive correlation (R=+0.1~0.2) in Seoul. From this result, it can be inferred that the O₃ formation regime in Busan was intrepreted to be nearly neutral or relatively closer to the NO_x-limited regime than Seoul, while Seoul to the VOC-limited regime. The study findings imply that O₃ control strategies should be applied differently in Busan and Seoul. The results here were inferred from surface NO₂ and O₃ observations, and the varification studies based on in-situ VOCs measurements would be needed.

Toxic organics are of great environmental concern primarily because they are toxic to mammals and birds, and are relatively soluble in water to contaminate surface water and groundwater. In this study, the decomposition of phenol, a widely used organic, in aqueous solutions by Boron doped diamond(BDD) electrode was examined. Thin, Boron-doped conducting diamond films are expected to be excellent electrodes for industrial electrolysis. Boron-doped diamond (BDD) were used as anode for generating ozone gas by electrolysis of acid solution. In this work. we have studied ozone generating system using BDD electrode. In order to determine the ozone generation properties of diamond electrode, experimental conditions, electrolyte concentration, temperature, flow rate and reaction time were varied diversely. As a result, we could confirm that ozone gas was generated successfully and the performance of diamond electrode was stable for electrolyte while $PbO_2$ electrode was disintegrated. Actually we are found that ozone amount increased by lowering the temperature of electrolyte. Decomposition of phenol concentration in the reaction solution by photolytic ozonation( $UV/O_3$) was analyzed by HPLC epuipped with a UV detector.

Monitoring of climate change and atmospheric environment by satellite measurements has been increased in recent years. In this study, nitrogen dioxide ($NO_2$) measurements from Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) were compared with surface measurements over the Korean peninsula. $NO_2$ from OMI measurements showed high values and also showed seasonal variations such as high concentration in winter and low in summer over metropolitan areas while $NO_2$ concentration at national background station was low and did not clearly show seasonal variations. Surface measurements showed similar temporal and spatial variations to those of satellite measurement. The comparison between satellite measurements and surface measurements showed that the correlation between them was higher in urban area (r=0.64 at Seoul and r=0.63 at Daegu) than in national background stations (r=0.37 at Jeju) because the concentration in urban area was relatively high so that the variation of $NO_2$ concentration could be detected better than at national background stations by satellite. Satellite can effectively measure the emission and transport of pollutants with no limitations in spatial coverage.

본 연구진은 포항지역을 중심으로 1995년부터 1997년의 3년간 오존존데로 관측한 고도별 오존농도 및 오존전량 자료를 이용하여 오존의 수직분포특성에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 오존의 수직분포를 체계적으로 밝히기 위해, 지상(100m), 대류권(10km), 하부 성층권(20km), 중부 성층권(30km)을 대표 고도로 설정하여 오존농도의 시 ${\cdot}$ 공간적 분포특성에 대한 비교분석을 시도하였다. 지상(100m) 오존의 경우, 포항제철이 인접해 있음에도 불구하고, 전반적으로 청정지역에서와 유사한 농도분포를 유지하였다. 봄과 여름에 높고 가을과 겨울에 낮은 농도분포는 기상인자들과의 상관성을 고려할 때, 대체로 광화학 반응에 의한 결과로 보여진다. 대류권(10km) 및 하부 성층권(20km)의 경우 춘고하저(春高夏低)의 전형적인 북반구 대류권 오존의 시간적 경향성을 나타내었다. 이는 고도별 오존농도간의 분석결과 성층권 오존의 대류권 이동 및 광화학 반응과 역전층 형성에 의한 결과로 추정된다. 중부 성층권(30km) 오존의 경우 지상 오존의 농도분포 경향과 매우 유사한 월주기 및 계절주기를 취하였다. Brewer 분광광도계에 의한 오존전량은 성층권 오존량 (Umkehr 법)에 의해 크게 좌우되며, 오존전량은 유해자외선 (UV-B)과의 상관성은 미미하나, 운량과는 음의 상관성을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과 지상권뿐만 아니라 대류권 및 성층권 오존의 시간적 특성을 이해하는데 있어 포항이 해안도시라는 지리학적인 요인이 매우 중요하다는 점을 확인할 수 있다.

This paper presents the results of using cold plasma to treat surface water for domestic use purpose. Experimental results showed that cold plasma was an effective method for destroying bacteria in water. After treatment with cold plasma, concentration of coliform and Escherichia coli dramatically reduced. Besides, cold plasma significantly removed water odor, increased dissolved oxygen and decreased the concentration of chemical oxygen demand. However, cold plasma significantly raised the concentration of nitrite and nitrate. Other disadvantages of treating with cold plasma were conductivity increase and pH reduction. Pretreatment steps of coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation and sand filtration followed by disinfection with cold plasma exhibited a high efficiency in surface water treatment. All parameters of surface water after treatment by using the prototype satisfied with the allowance standard of domestic water quality.

불산과 오존 세정 시 실리콘 웨이퍼 표면의 미세입자를 효과적으로 제거할 수 있는 세정 방법에 대하여 연구하였다. 불산의 농도가 0.3 vol% 이상이 되어야 미세입자가 제거 되었으며, 초음파가 인가된 오존수를 사용 시 제거 효율은 증가되었다. 오존과 불산 세정 단계 이후에 추가로 극미량의(0.01 vol%) 희석 암모니아수 세정을 하면 미세입자가 99%이상 제거됨을 확인하였다. 이는 암모니아수에 의한 웨이퍼 표면의 미세 에칭 효과와 알칼리 영역에서의 재흡착 방지 효과가 동시에 작용함에 기인된다고 보인다. 한편, 불산-오존-희석 암모니아수 세정은 통상의 SC-1 세정과 비교할 때 표면 미세 거칠기가 개선되는 경향을 보였다. 불산-오존-희석 암모니아수 세정은 상온에서도 미세입자를 효과적으로 제거할 수 있는 세정 방법으로, 고온 공정 및 과다한 화학액을 사용하는 기존 습식세정의 대안으로서 기대된다.

A micro-size nonthermal plasma generator, using a $SiO_2$ film as a dielectric barrier, has been studied experimentally for a high frequency ac voltage in 2LPM oxygen gas fed. The $SiO_2$ film as a micro-size dielectric barrier was made by the wet oxidation of n-type Si wafer($220[{\mu}mt]$). It can be generated ozone, as a nonthermal plasma intensity parameter, at very low level of applied voltage about 1[kV] by using the micro-size dielectric barrier. As a result, in case that have no air gap spacing i.e. surface discharge case shows relatively higher ozone concentration rather than that case of the micro-airgap spacing.

A novel ozonizer has been developed using a high-frequency surface discharge and a high purity alumina ceramic as its dielectric component. A thin ceramic layer, cylindrical in form, is adhered by a film-like induction electrode. An ac exciting voltage of frequency to 0.6 kHz from 1.0 kHz and $6{\sim}9kV$ peak-to-peak is applied between the electrodes to produce a stable high-frequency silent discharge for generation of ozone. A substantial reduction of the exciting voltage is also enabled by using a thin alumina ceramic layer. As a result, the ozonizer can easily produce ozone concentration($128g/m^2$ for oxygen) and power efficiency(360g/kWh for oxygen) without using a special enrichment means.

In this study, the effects of an urban thermal environment on air quality were investigated using hourly surface weather observation data and air quality data over six summers from 2000 to 2005 in two cities on the Korean Peninsula. One, the city of Daegu, is representative of basin topography and the other, the city of Busan, represents a coastal area. It is known that the characteristics of an urban thermal environment are represented as an "urban heat island". Here, we focus on the nighttime urban thermal environment, which is called a "tropical night", during the summer. On tropical nights in Busan, the temperature and cloud cover levels were higher than on non-tropical nights. Wind speed did not appear to make a difference even on a tropical night. However, the frequency of southwestern winds from the sea was higher during tropical nights. The prevailing southwest winds in all areas meant an inflow of air from the sea. So at most of the air quality stations, the ozone concentration during tropical nights was lower than during non-tropical nights. In Daegu, the tropical nights had higher temperatures and cloud covers. Despite these higher temperatures, the ozone concentration during the tropical nights was lower than that on non-tropical nights at most of the air quality stations. This feature was caused by low irradiance, which in turn caused an increased cloud cover. Wind speed was stronger during the tropical nights and dispersed the air pollutants. These meteorological characteristics of the tropical nights reduced ozone concentrations in the Daegu Basin.
