In the study, public facilities in Korea covered by the law, including PC-rooms, child care facilities, bus terminalwaiting rooms, elderly nursing facilities, movie theaters, underground subway stations, super super markets andindoor parking lots (8 types of facility, for a total of 32 locations) were investigated for indoor gas phase PAHsand particulate phase PAHs. PAHs source profiles were investigated as well. Finally, public facilities PAHs wereestimated the main influencing factors and sources of indoor by factor analysis. Underground subway stations andPC-rooms tended to be higher the concentration than other facilities. It judged each the effects of car exhaust,smoking, and elderly nursing facilities, child care facilities, movie theaters, where the influence of the outdoor airis less relatively direct effect that car exhaust and incoming of ambient air, were showed low concentration. Supersuper markets displayed a large amount of different products and bus terminal waiting rooms influenced car exhaustis higher than those that. Sources of indoor PAHs in public facilities make out profiling(cooking process: broilingmeat and fish, incense, shampoo, decorative candles, tobacco) and on the effects of ambient on reported existingliterature(of diesel and gasoline engines, heating fuel, coke oven, a wood combustion) was referred for factor analysisto estimate emission sources. As a result of particulate PAHs phase, three major factors were showed that factor1: cooking, use of gas fuel and combustion devices, factor 2: smoking. Factor 3: car exhaust. Factor analysis resultsof gas PAHs phase are similar to particulate PAHs phase. Additionally, factors such as air fresheners was estimated.

In this study, leachate treatment facility (outlet, facility inside) and landfill sections (vent systems, landfill surface)of nine landfills is being buried in korea were studied emission characteristics of odor compounds. Air dilutionvalue in ventpipes of landfill section was generally highest and was more 3 times higher than emission standard(air dilution value of facilities outlet : 500) in Daejeon, Tongyeong, and Busan landfill. Outlet of leachate treatmentfacilities in Tongyeong and Daegu landfill, in case, was higher respectively 20 times, 6 times than other landfills,commonly show that a large contribution to the odor of hydrogen sulfide. In case of ordor emission rate, ammoniaand hydrogen sulfide were surveyed to comprise a high rate for odor emission rate. Odor emissions based onlandfill scale, large landfill (Sudokwon) and small landfills (Yeosu, Chuncheon, Chungju) is low in odor emissionsper unit area, whereas medium landfill (Busan, Daejeon, Daegu) was estimated to be high odor emissions. In caseof large landfill, leachate treatment facilities is management in good condition and discharged odor emission oflandfill sections was low into ambient air. In case of small landfill, decay gases and leachate is few. Thereforeodor emissions is fewer than estimated medium landfill. In case of medium landfill, management condition ofleachate treatment facility was in poor and landfill sections was under not stabilization stage. Thus, mediumlandfills was identified that needs to be intensive care.

This study was conducted to show the odor emission characteristics between the well maintained environment fundamental facility and the poorly maintained environmental facility. It also draws major components of odor emission based on facilities, stages, and suggest the proper way to reduce the level of odor for insufficient facilities. Insufficient facilities" air direct sensory and air dilution value levels are following: foodwaste ＞ livestock ＞ wastewater ＞ night-soil ＞ sewage. For the sewage and waste water facilities, the common characteristic of odor emission on each fundamental facility showed higher air dilution value in depositing reservoir and concentrator. And sulfur and aldehyde compounds came out to be the major odor causing components. In the case of night-soil and livestock facilities, the air dilution value was high in flow equalization tank and liquid erosion tank. And sulfur as well as ammonia component was the major malodorous substance. Foodwaste facility showed higher air dilution value than other facility, which sulfur and acetaldehyde compounds were acting as major malodorous substances.

The objective of this study was to estimate distribution of hazardous air pollutants and volatile organic compounds at diverse indoor areas in school. The indoor air samples were collected at 19 school in three different areas of southern Korea region from September to October 2009. The concentrations of PM-10 and formaldehyde in all sampling sites were below indoor air quality guideline of the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology. The CO₂ level and TBC (total bacteria count) were higher than the guideline for 4 sites and 12 sites, respectively. The concentration of TVOC for 23 sites exceeded the guideline. Also, TVOC level of metropolitan sampling sites were somewhat higher than small and medium-size city sampling sites. The concentration of indoor air pollutants affected by various conditions such as season, region, and indoor/outdoor environment. This study result shows that concentration of several pollutants such as CO₂, TBC, and TVOC were higher than the guideline for some sampling sites. Therefore, it is necessary to manage indoor air quality and establish effective emission reduction strategies regard for characteristics of each school.

현재 개별 매립지의 매립가스 발생량을 추정을 위해 폐기물의 분해를 일차분해반응으로 가정한 수학적 model들인 Scholl Canyon model, Palos Verdes model, Sheldon Arleta model과 IPCC GL 그리고 EPA의 LAEEM(Landfill Air Emissions Estimation Mode) 등이 주로 사용되고 있다. 일차분해 model을 이용한 온실가스 발생량의 추정은 매립된 폐기물의 양 및 조성, 매립시기와 경과시간 등의 기초자료, 폐기물의 메탄최대발생량(L0)와 메탄발생속도계수(k)를 사용되기 때문에 온실가스의 정확한 예측을 위해서는 이들에 대한 보다 적절한 값이 선정되어야 한다. 현재 선진국들은 매립지 특성을 반영한 메탄발생속도상수(k)를 제시하고 있으나 국내에의 경우 이러한 연구가 전무한 상황으로 이에 대한 연구가 필요한 것으로 보인다. 본 연구에서는 현재 사용중인 2곳(H, Y 매립지)의 소규모 매립장에 대한 매립지 특성 자료수집과 현장측정을 통해 2006 IPCC FOD방법의 입력변수로 사용되는 메탄발생속도 상수(k)를 산출하여 보았으며, 또한 이 결과를 default valus 적용한 2006 IPCC GL의 FOD방법에 의한 메탄 배출량 산정결과와 비교하여 보았다. 2006 IPCC GL에 제시된 FOD방법의 메탄 배출량 산정식을 이용한 k값 산정 결과, H 매립지의 산정된 평균 k값은 0.0413 yr-1, Y 매립지의 산정된 평균 k값은 0.0117 yr-1로 나타나 IPCC 가이드라인에 제시된 기본값이 0.09 yr-1에 비하여 상대적으로 낮은 값을 보였다. 또한 현장측정에 의해 산출된 k값들과 2006 IPCC GL의 default value을 이용하여 H, Y매립장에 대하여 메탄가스 배출량을 비교해본 결과, H매립지(1994년~2012년)와 Y매립장의 메탄가스 총배출량이 현장측정에 비하여 492.7%와 166.5%나 과다산정되는 것으로 나타나 매립지에서 발생하는 정확한 온실가스 배출량 예측을 위해서는 각각의 매립지별 현장 측정을 통한 고유의 k값 결정을 통한 산정이 진행돼야 할 것으로 판단된다.

The purpose of this study was to develop the preliminary source fingerprints of volatile organic compounds (VOC). The source categories studied were vehicles, gasoline vapor, gasoline storage tank, coating, dry cleaning and road covering. The source samples were collected using 6L electro-polished stainless steel canisters for about 20 seconds. From this study, the main component emitted from VOC sources in Korea was toluene. The toluene proportion for road covering, vehicles, coating and gasoline vapor were 35, 18, 16 and 5%, respectively. The C2-C5 alkane and alkene compounds were mainly emitted from vehicles, gasoline vapor and gasoline storage tank. The main compounds of coating were m/p-xylene(34%), toluene(16%), 1,2,4-TMB(10%) and o-xylene(9%), which are aromatic hydrocarbons. In the case of dry cleaning, nonane(41%), 1,2,4-TMB (22%) and 1,3,5-TMB(13%) were mainly emitted.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristics of removal efficiency for aromatic hydrocarbons using a high-temperature fiber filter on a laboratory scale. The main elemental compositions of a high-temperature fiber filter are aluminium and silica, which can act as the catalysts. Benzene, toluene and o-xylene among aromatic hydrocarbons were used in this experiment. For 3㎝ thickness of fiber filter, these compounds were removed more than 90% at the face velocities of 3㎝/sec and 5㎝/sec above 450℃. For 4㎝ thickness of it, the removal efficiencies of these compounds were almost 90% from 400℃ at the same face velocities, suggesting that it may be due to increasing the contact time between the fiber filter and aromatic hydrocarbons. The pressure drop ranged from 22 to 48㎜H2O for 3㎝ thickness of fiber filter. However, for 4㎝ thickness of it, it was about two times(41-89㎜H2O) higher than that for 3㎝ fiber thickness.

The purpose of this study was to quantitatively determine the indoor infiltration of pollutants of outdoor origin. The relationship between indoor and outdoor air is dependent, to a large extent, on the rate of air exchange between these two environments. Mean indoor/outdoor ratios measured from this study were: 0.70 for HNO_3; 1.60 for HNO_2; 0.56 for SO_2; 1.30 for NH_3; 0.96 for PM_2.5(d_p<2.5μm); 0.89 for SO_4^2-; 0.87 for NO_3^- and 0.79 for NH_4^+. Mean indoor concentrations for PM_2.5, SO_4^2-, HNO_3, NO_3^- and NH_4^+ were similar to outdoor levels. Indoor HNO_2 and NH_3 values were higher than outdoors. However, the indoor level of SO_2 was lower than ambient level.
