This study examines the effects of surrounding outdoor environmental characteristics in multi-use public facilities that are used by the susceptible population, on the concentration and distribution of indoor airborne bacteria. For this study, areas were divided into ‘factory area,’ ‘city area,’ and ‘forest area.’ The research was conducted from October 2017 to April 2018, and the selected target facilities were daycare centers, hospitals, postpartum care centers, and nursing homes for the elderly. In order to measure airborne bacteria, indoor air samples were collected using a six-stage viable particulate cascade impactor, and airborne bacteria samples were collected using MCE (Mixed cellulose esters) filters. Moreover, the outdoor airborne bacteria concentration was also measured to determine the concentration ratio (I/O ratio) of the total indoor airborne bacteria and total outdoor airborne bacteria concentrations. The results showed that the total outdoor airborne bacteria concentration was highest in the city area, with 74.2 ± 60.0 CFU/m3, and the lowest in the factory area, with 45.9 ± 35.8 CFU/m3. Furthermore, the distribution of the total outdoor airborne bacteria concentrations significantly differed across each surrounding environment (p < 0.05). On the other hand, no statistically significant difference in total indoor airborne bacteria concentrations, according to surrounding environments, was observed (p > 0.05). These findings suggest that the concentration of outdoor airborne bacteria differs across surrounding environments, unlike that of the indoor airborne bacteria.

The objective of this study is to support an environmental policy related to the improved control of indoor airborne fungi in Korea. We reviewed 15 articles published in Korea to analyse the trend of airborne fungi level in indoor environment of various public facilities. The maximum mean concentrations of total airborne fungi in hospital and kindergarten were 1447 CFU/m3 and 1259 CFU/m3, respectively. We concluded that policy determination are urgently required to guide a proper management on airborne fungi in Korea.

The amorphous alloy strip was pulverized to get a flake-shaped powder after annealing at for 90 min and subsequently ground to obtain finer flake-shaped powder by using a ball mill. The powder was mixed with polyimide-based binder of , and then the mixture was cold compacted to make a toroidal powder core. After crystallization treatment for 1 hour at , the powder was transformed from amorphous to nanocrystalline with the grain size of . Soft magnetic characteristics of the powder core was optimized at with the insulating binder of 3wt%. As a result, the powder core showed the outstanding magnetic properties in terms of core loss and permeability, which were originated from the optimization of the grain size and distribution of the insulating binder.

가축(돈)분뇨는 고농도의 유기성폐기물로서 높은 함수율을 나타내고 있기 때문에 처리에 중점을 두어야 할 부분이 수분 처리 방법이다. 이에 기존 가축분뇨 처리방법으로 고상과 액상을 분리하여 고상은 퇴비화, 액상은 액비화 또는 정화 처리 후 하천에 방류하여 방류수 기준을 만족하는 방법을 사용하고 있다. 하지만 본 연구에서는 기존기술개발의 차별화 및 기존기술의 회피 전략을 위해, 돈분뇨의 유기물을 고온발효미생물에 의해 분해하여 85℃ 이상의 열에너지를 발생시켜 수분을 제거하는 무방류시스템이다. 여기에 유기물 BOD, COD의 농도변화는 발효조 진행방향에 따라 현저하게 감소되어 90%, 80%의 제거효율을 나타내었으며, 질소 성분인 T-N, NH3-N 역시 발효조 진행방향에 따라 각각 72%, 74%의 제거효율을 나타내었다. 뿐만 아니라 고체연료의 발열량을 높이기 위해 무연탄, 코크스, 기름 등의 열량보조제를 첨가하는 기존 방법 대신에 돈분에 적당량의 퇴비를 첨가한 고체연료 제조방법으로 4,500kcal/kg 이상의 높은 발열량을 얻을 수 있었다. 화석연료의 연소 등에 의한 2차 오염을 방지할 수 있으며, 생산 단가가 저렴한 친환경 기술이다. 따라서 본 무방류시스템은 고온발효미생물의 발열반응에 의해 가축분뇨를 저렴한 비용으로 고액 동시에 처리 할 수 있으며, 높은 발열량의 고체연료를 제조할 수 있는 새로운 기술이다.
