극지 환경계에서 발견되는 수은의 농도분포는 봄철 극단적인 소멸과 여름철 고농도의 발현과 같이 특이한 분포 특성을 취하는 것으로 밝혀지고 있다. 이와 같은 극지환경의 계절적 농도분포특성은 일반적으로 알려진 수은의 대기환경학적 특성과 상치되는 현상이다. 본문에서는 북극지역에서 장기간 관측된 수은의 농도자료와 이에 대비한 비교 자료 군으로 서울지역을 중심으로 장기 관측된 자료들을 동시에 이강하여, 극지역 수은분포의 특이성과 환경학적 의미를 여러 가지 관점에서 다양하게 고찰하였다.

2001년 봄철 기간을 택하여 한반도에서 비교적 청정한 대기질을 유지하는 것으로 알려진 제주도를 거점으로 DMS와 CS2 농도분포를 시간대 별로 관측하고 이를 조절하는 요인들에 대한 세부적인 분석을 수행하였다. 본 연구의 관측 결과에 따르면, 전체 기간동안 관측된 DMS와 CS2 농도분포는 시간대 별로 세가지 경향성을 뚜렷하게 보여 주었다. 실험의 전 · 후반부에는 양성분의 농도증감 경향이 거의 비슷하게 나타난데 반해, 중반부에는 증감이 반대로 나타나는 경향성이 뚜렷하게 확인 되었다. 그리고 또한 특이한 현상은 전반기에 CS2의 고농도가 나타난 반면, 후반기에는 DMS의농도가 50%가까이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 후반기 기간중의 공기궤가 한반도의 내륙지역에 상당 수준 정체하였다가 제주로 유입되었다는 점을 감안하면, 다른 기간대에 비해 상대적으로 높은 DMS의 농도는 대단히 예외적인 경향으로 간주할 수 있을 것이다. 본 연구의 결과에 따르면 지리적 특성에도 불구하고, 제주 지역에서 관측한 DMS의 농도분포는 단순히 해양환경으로부터 파생되는 요인외에도 여러 가지 복잡한 인자들에 의하여 조절되고 있음을 확인 할 수 있다.

Characterization of spatio-temporal variations in PM2.5 in Gyeongnam (GN) province during 2015-2016 was investigated to assess the air quality in this area in terms of fine particles. Yearly mean concentrations of PM2.5 ranged from 19.1 to 29.5 μgm-3. High concentrations of PM2.5 were observed in spring (21.2-30.3 μgm-3) and winter (20.2-30.3 μgm-3). Low concentrations of PM2.5 were generally observed in fall (16.2-23.2 μgm-3). PM2.5 concentration was highest in the morning (10 AM). The fractions of PM2.5 in PM10 were 0.51-0.62 and two were significantly correlated (r=0.779-0.830), suggesting common sources (fossil fuel combustion, mobile sources, etc). CO was significantly correlated with PM2.5 in highly urbanized areas such as the city of Changwon (CW, r=0.711), compared to other air pollutants (SO2, NO2, and O3), suggesting dominance of industrial combustion sources.

본 연구는 육계 생산과정에서의 건조 Rosemary 잎 분말의 급여가 육계의 생산성, 맹장내 균총 및 깔짚 중 유해가스 발생량에 미치는 영향에 대해서 조사하였다. 총 216수의 7일령 육계에 대조구, Rosemary 분말 0.5% (5 g/kg diet, T1) 및 1.0% (10 g/kg diet, T2)로 구분하여 35일령까지 총 4주간의 사양 시험을 실시하였다. 사육기간중 증체중 및 사료효율은 Rosemary 급여에 의해서 유의하게 증가하였지만(P<0.05), 처리구간(T1 Vs. T2)에는 유의한 차이가 인정되지 않았다. 사료섭취량 및 도태율은 대조구와 처리구간에 차이는 인정되지 않았다. 21일령과 35일령 모두 맹장내 Lactobacillus의 수는 Rosemary 급여에 의해서 유의하게 증가하였고(P<0.05), E. Coli 및 Salmonella의 수는 유의하게 감소하였다(P<0.05). 혐기성 총 미생물 수는 Rosemary의 첨가에 의한 영향은 인정되지 않았다. 깔짚 내 Ammonia의 발생량은 Rosemary 첨가에 의해서 유의하게 감소하였다(P<0.05). 그러나 처리구간(T1 Vs. T2)에는 차이가 인정되지 않았다. 이상의 결과를 종합해보면, 육계사양에서 건조 Rosemary 잎의 급여는 사료중 영양소 이용율 증가, 소화관내 유익균의 증가 및 유해균의 감소, 및 배설물 중 NH3의 발생량 감소로 인한 증체량 및 사료효율을 개선시킬 가능성이 생각된다.

본 연구는 가축의 축사에 깔짚으로 이용되는 톱밥을 수준별(0(CSD0구), 10(CSD10구), 20(CSD20구), 30(CSD30구) 및 40%(CSD40구))로 우분과 혼합한 다음 부숙기간 중의 이화학적 성상 변화가 지렁이 생존에 미치는 영향을 조사함으로써 vermicomposting을 이용한 가축분의 친환경적 처리에 기초자료로 이용하고자 실시되었다. 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 부숙이 경과함에 따라 3주부터 모든 구에서 지렁이의 생존이 가능하였다. 처리구별 탄질비는 톱밥 혼합구가 CSD0구 보다 유의하게 높았다(p<0.05). 지렁이가 생존하기 시작한 3주차의 탄질비는 23.26~61.05로 나타났다. 부숙이 경과함에 따라 pH와 전기전도도는 CSD0구에서 가장 높았고, 톱밥의 혼입 비율이 높을수록 pH와 전기전도도는 낮은 경향이었다. 지렁이가 생존하기 시작한 pH와 전기전도도는 각각 7.4~7.7과 0.28~1.17mS/cm으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 보면 우분에 다양한 수준의 톱밥을 혼합하여 부숙시켰을 경우 이화학적 성상 변화는 모두 지렁이 생존이 가능한 범위로 나타났으나, 우분의 효율적인 지렁이 퇴비화를 위해서는 톱밥 혼입 비율에 따른 지렁이의 생육과 증식 조사를 위한 시험이 필요하다고 사료되어 진다.

Emissions of air pollutants and greenhouse gases (GHGs) from aircraft activities at 11 small-scale airports were investigated using the emissions and dispersion modeling system (EDMS) version 5.1.3 during the two year period of 2009~2010. The number of landing and take-off (LTO) at these airports was dominant for the aircraft type B737, accounting for more than 60% of the total LTOs. Out of the 11 small-scale airports, Gwangju (GJ, RKJJ) airport was the largest emitter of air pollutants and GHGs, whereas Yangyang (YY, RKNY) airport was the smallest emitter. The emissions of NOx and VOCs in 2010 at the 11 airports ranged from 1.9 to 83 ton/y and 0.1 to 17 ton/y, respectively. In 2010, the emissions of CO2 ranged from 394 to 21,217 ton/y. The emissions of most air pollutants (except for NOx and PM10) and GHGs were estimated to be the highest in taxi-out mode. The highest emissions of NOx and PM10 were emitted from climb-out and approach modes, respectively. In addition, the total LTOs at the 11 small-scale airports accounted for the range of 9.3~9.9% of those at four major international airports in Korea. The total emissions of air pollutants and GHGs at the 11 airports ranged from 4.8 to 12% of those at the four major airports.

The impact of a considerable increase in traffic volume on the emission and concentrations of air pollutants was investigated at three beaches (Haeundae (HB), Gwanganri (GB), and Songjeong (SB)) in Busan during beach opening period (BOP) in 2011. During the BOP, passenger car was the major vehicle type, followed by taxi, and van. CO was the major contributor of total air pollutant emissions followed by NOx, VOC, and PM10. For the temporal variation of the emission of air pollutants during the BOP, it was generally the highest in the afternoon followed by the evening and morning, except for SB. For the spatial variation of their emission, it was the highest at GB followed by SB and HB. The emissions of air pollutants during the BOP were generally higher than those during the Non-BOP, except for HB. In contrast, the significant impact of the traffic volume increase on the concentrations of air pollutants at monitoring sites near the three beaches during the BOP were not found compared to the Non-BOP due to the significant distances between monitoring sites of air pollutants and monitoring sites of traffic volume at the beaches.

Emission of air pollutants such as nitrogen oxides (NOx), hydrocarbons (HC), SO2, and particulate matter (PM) and CO2 from ship during 2009 in Busan port was estimated based on activity-based method. The significant fraction (> 50%) of ship emission resulted from container and general cargo ships. Emission at port operation mode was the most dominant compared to at sea and maneuvering modes. Emission at North port was the largest source of air pollutants among ports. The magnitudes of air pollutants NOx, SO2, HC, CO2, and PM in Busan port were 8.7 × 103, 8.23 × 103, 0.35 × 103, 4.86×106, and 0.67 × 103 ton/yr, respectively. The ratio of NOx to VOC is about 25. Our ship emission estimate is 2 times higher than that in CAPSS emission inventory.

In this study, the environmental behavior of malodor pollutants (MPs:　H2S, CH3SH, DMS, and DMDS) was investigated around areas influenced by strong anthropogenic processes based on observations and modeling study (a CALPUFF dispersion model). The MP emission concentrations were measured from 8 industrial source regions (tire plants (S1-S3), waste water disposal plant (S4), and oil refinery (S5) in an urban center area and paper mill/incineration plant (S6) and livestock feedlots (S7-S8) in Ungsang area) in Yangsan city during a fall period in 2008 (21 October 2008). Overall, the most MPs emitted from the urban center area were found to affect the malodor pollution in their downwind areas during early morning (06:00 LST) and nighttime (18:00 and 21:00 LST), compared with those in the Ungsang area. For malodor intensity, the most MPs in the urban center area (especially S1 and S2) were found to be a significant contributor, whereas CH3SH and H2S in the Ungsnag area (especially S6) were the dominant contributor. The model study showed agreement in the spatial distributions of simulated MPs with those of the observations. The largest impact of MPs in the urban center area on the malodor pollution in its residential areas occurred at S1, S2, and S3 sites during nighttime, while that of MPs in the Ungsang area occurred at S6 and S8 sites. This may be caused mainly by the high MP emissions and in part by wind conditions (prevailing northeasterly winds with low wind speeds of 2-3 m/s).

This review was conducted to the study on treatment of poultry waste by earthworms, and the effect of feeding earthworms meal on the performance of broilers and laying hens, and safety of meat and egg. 1. The pro-environmental chicken house was building in Daegu National University of Education, Daegu city, chicken wastes will be turn into high quality compost by vermicomposting uses earthworms in the house. 2. The earthworm meal (EWM) has a high proteinic content and a balanced amino acid and fatty acid profile, therefore most feeding applications has been evaluated with mono-gastric animals. 3. The dietary supplementations of 0.2 to 0.4% EWM were effective in improve digestibility of crude protein of diet resulted improved broiler performance in broiler chickens. 4. The supplementing 0.2 to 0.6% of earthworm meal in the laying hens diet, improves the laying performance and egg quality, especially ratio of egg yolk n-6/n-3 fatty acids contents. 5. As, Cd, Cr, Hg and Pb were detected at level of 4.41, 1.23, 1.18, 0.00 and 3.39ppm in earthworm meal, respectively, but those were not detected in the chicken meat and egg. therefore supplementing 0.6% of EWM in the chicken diet, it still did not affect meat and egg safety. 6. These results indicated that vermicompositing uses earthworms good a subject matter in the pro-environmental animal husbandry.

The chemical and meteorological effects on the concentration variations of air pollutants (O3 and its precursors) were evaluated based on ground observation data in coastal and inland regions, Busan during springs and summers of 2005-2006. For the purpose of this study, study areas were classified into 5 categories: coastal area (CA), industrial area (IA), downtown area (DA), residential area (RA), and suburban area (SA). Two sites of Dongsam (DS) and Yeonsan (YS) were selected for the comparison purpose between the coastal and inland regions. O3 concentrations in CA and SA were observed to be highest during spring (e.g., 40 ppb), whereas those in DA and RA were relatively low during summer (e.g., 22～24 ppb). It was found that O3 concentrations in IA were not significantly high although high VOCs (especially toluene of about 40 ppb) and NOx (≥ 35 ppb) were observed. On the other hand, the concentration levels of O3 and PM10 at the DS site were significantly higher than those at the YS site, but NOx was slightly lower than that at the YS site. This might be caused by the photochemical activity and meteorological conditions (e.g., sea-land breeze and atmospheric stagnance). When maximum O3 (an index of photochemical activity) exceeds 100 ppb, the contribution of secondary PM10 ((PM10)SEC) to total observed PM10 concentrations was estimated up to 32% and 17% at the DS and YS sites, respectively. In addition, the diurnal variations of (PM10)SEC at the DS site were similar to those of O3 regardless of season, which suggests that they are mostly secondary PM10 produced from photochemical reactions.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of different ratios of rice straw to swine manure as an earthworm feed on the change of physico-chemical characteristics and earthworm viability during composting, and further to provide the basic information for an efficient vermicomposting using the manure of livestock. Experimental earthworm used in this study was Eisenia foetida and the ratio of swine manure and rice straw was determined to 100:0(SM), 90:10(SRS10), 80:20 (SRS20), 70:30(SRS30) and 60:40(SRS40) on the basis of volume. The results are summarized as follows. Earthworm appeared after 8 week of aging period, and it was possible for the earthworm to survive in all the treatments. C/N ratio was significantly higher (P＜0.05) in the treatments of rice straw mixture (SRS30 and SRS40) than swine manure alone (SM treatment). Appropriate C/N ratio for earthworm survival was the range of 10.43 to 11.16. During the period of aging, pH value and electrolyticconductivity (EC) were the highest in the treatment of swine manure alone. However, as the inclusion of rice straw was increased, pH value and EC showed a decreasing tendency. Appropriate pH value and EC for earthworm survival were 7.7 to 7.8, and 2.72 to 4.59mS/㎝, respectively. The results from this study indicated that mixing swine manure with rice straw more improved more physico-chemical environment for earthworm growth in comparison with swine manure alone, and rice straw showed the sufficient possibility as a bulking agent for an efficient vermicomposting of swine manure.

This study was conducted to evaluate effects of feeding earthworm meal on the meat safety and performance of broiler chicks. A total of 60 broiler chicks at 7 days of age were fed the commercial diet and water until 47 days of age, earthworm meal divided into three treatments, 0% (control), 0.4% (treatment-1) and 0.6% (treatment-2) of dry earthworm meal. The body weight gain and feed/gain tend to be increase fed a 0.4 to 0.6% than 0% of earthworm meal. The effects tended to be higher in 0.4% than 0.6% of earthworm meal. As, Cd, Cr, Hg and Pb were detected at level of 4.41, 1.23, 1.18, 0.00 and 3.39ppm in earthworm meal, respectively, but those were not detected in the chicken meat (breast and thigh meat). It was assumed that supplementing 0.4% of earthworm meal in the broiler diet, improved the performance of broiler chicks and it still did not affect meat safety.

These studies were conducted to evaluate the feasibility of spent bleaching clay (SBC) as a feed resource for ruminants. Three Holstein dairy cows, surgically fitted with ruminal cannula, were used in a 3 × 3 Latin Square design. Dietary treatments were 1) basal diet, 2) basal diet plus 2% of SBC and 3) basal diet plus 4% of SBC. Rumen fluid was sampled at 0, 3, 6, 9 and 12 hours following the start of the morning feeding. Nylon bags containing experimental diets were used to determine ruminal nutrient disappearance at 0, 3, 6, 12 and 24 hours. The values of ruminal pH in cows receiving 4% of SBC was lower than those of the control and 2% SBC supplement. The NH₃-N concentration in the rumen was higher at the 3 hour than for cows of control and 2% of SBC supplement. Total VFA concentrations in the rumen were not affected by the addition of SBC. Dry matter and organic matter disappearance in the rumen was lower at the 6 hours than the control and 2% SBC treatment, but no difference at the end of the 24 hour.

This study examines the local ozone photochemistry in the urban air. The photochemical formation and destruction of ozone was modeled using a photochemical box model. For the model prediction of ozone budget, measurements were carried out from an urban monitoring station in Seoul (37.6˚N, 127˚E), Korea for intensive sampling time period (Jun. 1～15, 2003). Photochemical process is likely to play significant role in higher ozone concentrations during the sampling period. The results of model simulation indicated that photochemical ozone production pathway was the reaction of NO with HO2 while ozone destruction was mainly controlled by a photochemical destruction pathway, a reaction of H2O with O(1D). The contribution of NMHCs to formation and destruction of ozone in the urban was significant. This was entirely different from remote marine environment. The rates of net photochemical ozone production ranged from 0.1 to 1.3 ppbv h-1 during the study period.

Two hundred [(Duroc×Yorkshire)×Landrace] pigs were used in a 117-d growth assay (including four growth stages) to determine the effects of dietary supplementation of Lactobacillus reuteri on performance of swine, fecal and rectumal microflora and carcass grade. Pig diet was divided tow types, commercial diet (Control group) and supplemention of 0.1% Lactobacillus reuteri (Treatmental group). There was tend to increased in average daily gain (ADG) and feed efficiency (Feed/gain) in treatmental group than control group during the whole experimental period. The number of Lactobacilius spp. into rectum and feaces and carcass rate tended to increase in treatmental group than control group. Ammonia emission from excreta were decrease by supplemention of 0.1% Lactobacillus reuteri in feed (P

The mudfish (Misgurnus anguillicaudatus) raising fed on hens excreta in order to study effects on production of animal feed resource. The raw hens excreta used for 2 years old mudfish diet during the 35 days and water in aquarium was exchanged for 50% of flash water every week during experimental period. Eight of 100L of aquarium, eight kg of mudfish and four of female korean native chicken were used this study. This study are divided according to the mudfish fed on commercial mudfish diet in the four of control group and fed on raw hens excreta in the four treatment group. The chemical composition was compared with commercial mudfish diet and hens excreta. In the both sample, crude protein contents was almost same. The crude fat and crude ash were higher in hens excreta than commercial mudfish diet. The growth performance of mudfish tend to high when fed hens excreta. There were no differences in contents of E. Coli and Salmonella and pH of water in aquariums between the groups. Mortality of mudfish tend to decrease when fed hens excreta. No problem with mudfish health was observed during the experimental period of 35 days. These results indicated that it is possible to raising mudfish fed on hens excreta only.

A study was conducted to investigate the effect of supplementing earthworm meal (EWM) on the performance of spent laying hens after induced molting, and fatty acid composition in egg yolks. A total of 90 laying hens at 73 weeks of age were fed the experimental diets containing 0.0% (Control) and 0.2% of EWM for 4 weeks. Eggs were collected and weighted every day and egg production and feed conversion were recorded every week during the experimental period. However fatty acid composition of egg yolk were measured at last week of experimental period. An amount of feed intake increased by supplemental with EMW except for first week experimental period (P＜0.05). When 76 and 77 week of age, egg production and daily egg mass were improved by the supplemented with EWM (P＜0.01), but average egg weight was not different when fed a EWM, therefore feed/egg mass was significantly decreased when fed a EWM. The ratio of egg yolk n-6/n-3 fatty acids contents was significantly improved fed a EMW (P＜0.05). It is concluded that supplementing 0.2% of earthworm meal in the spent laying hens after induced molting was fast in recover of physical strength, therefore improves laying performance.

The effect of feeding extracts from rhus trees on performance of broiler were performed to investigate development of natural antibiotic in process of broilers production. A total of 320 broiler chicks at 7 day of age were fed the commercial diet and water, water containing 0 ppm (control), 300 ppm (T1), 600 ppm (T2) and 1000 ppm (T3) of extracts from rhus trees for 7 weeks. The body weight gain and feed conversion ratio were improvement by feeding extracts from rhus trees at 7 to 21 days of age (P＜0.05), but amount of feed intake and mortality were not different among the four group. When 21 to 35 days of age, body weight gain, amount of feed intake, feed conversion ratio and mortality were almost same results when 7 to 21days of age, but it was not significantly different. When 35 to 49 days of age, body weight gain in T1 and T3 group was significantly improvement than control group (P＜0.05), also feed conversion ratio was improve by feeding extracts from rhus trees. There was a decrease in the microflora population of both E coli. and salmonella in the cecum contents and feaces in broilers by feeding extracts from rhus trees. Emission of ammonia and VFA gas from excreta were significantly decreased at 5 to 10 days of storaged period (P＜0.05). The digestibility of dry matter, crude fat, and crude ash of feed were tend to increased in broiler feeding extracts from rhus trees. Digestibility of crude protein of feed in broiler three treatmental groups was significantly improved (P＜0.05) as compared with those in control group. These results indicated that the feeding extracts from rhus trees of 300 to 1000 ppm of broiler production were improvement in the body weight gain, feed conversion ratio, and mortality due to increasing nutrients digestibility from feed, decreasing of microflora population of both E coli. and salmonella in the cecum contents and feaces, decreasing emission of ammonia and VFA gas from excreta.

A study was conducted to investigate the effect of supplementing earthworm meal on the growth performance and nutrient digestibility of feed in broiler chicks. A total of 120 broiler chicks at 7 days of age were fed the experimental diets containing 0%(Control), 0.2% and 0.4% of earthworm meal for 6 weeks. When fed on both starter and finisher diets, the body weight gain and amount of feed intake were significantly higher (P＜0.05) in the chicks fed 0.4% of earthworm meal than those fed 0% and 0.2% of earthworm meal. There were no significantly differences in feed conversion ratio and mortality among the treatments. When fed on both starter and finisher diets, digestibility of dry matter of feed was not affected by the dietary treatment, but crude fat and crude ash digestibilities of feed were tend to increased in chicks fed earthworm meal Digestibility of crude protein of feed in chicks fed 0.4% of earthworm meal was significantly(P＜0.05) improved as compared with those in 0.2% or control group. These results indicated that the dietary supplementations of 0.4% earthworm meal were effective in improve digestibility of crude protein of diet resulted improved broiler performance in broiler chicks.
