본 연구의 목적은 END 금연동기유발 프로그램이 흡연 고등학생의 일산화탄소, 금연자기효능감, 흡연일수, 1일 흡연량에 미치는 효과를 확인하기 위해 실시한 비동등성 대조군 전·후 시차설계를 이용한 유사 실험연구이다. 대상자는 C시에 소재한 고등학생으로 금연에 관심이 있는 흡연학생으로 실험군 27명, 대조군 28명 총 55명이었으며 자료수집은 2018년 7월 12일부터 10월 4일까지였다. 대상자에게 중재한 프로그램은 END 금연동기유발 프로그램으로 주 1회 50분, 총 6주간이었다. 중재결과 실험군은 대조군에 비해 금연 자기효능감(z=110.00, p＜.001), 흡연일수(z=640.00, p＜.001), 1일 흡연량(z=520.50, p＜.016) 이 지지되었다. 따라서 END 금연동기유발 프로그램은 학교 현장에서 흡연 고등학생의 흡연율을 낮추고 금연동기를 유발하여 금연을 유도하기 위한 중재로 본 프로그램의 적용을 제안한다.

Nanofibers(NFs), because of their high surface area and nanosized grains, have appropriate morphologies for use in chemiresistive-type sensors for gas detection applications. In this study, a highly sensitive and selective CO gas sensing material based on Au-decorated SnO2 NFs was fabricated by electrospinning. SnO2 NFs were synthesized by electrospinning and subsequently decorated with various amounts of Au nanoparticles(NPs) by sputtering; this was followed by thermal annealing. Different characterizations showed the successful formation of Au-decorated SnO2 NFs. Gas sensing tests were performed on the fabricated sensors, which showed bell-shaped sensing behavior with respect to the amount of Au decoration. The best CO sensing performance, with a response of ~20 for 10 ppm CO, was obtained at an optimized amount of Au (2.6 at.%). The interplay between Au and SnO2 in terms of the electronic and chemical sensitization by Au NPs is responsible for the great improvement in the CO sensing capability of pure SnO2 NFs, suggesting that Au-decorated SnO2 NFs can be a promising material for fabricating highly sensitive and selective chemiresistive-type CO gas sensors.

동아시아에서 일산화탄소의 지역적 배경 농도 수준을 분석하기 위해, 1991년부터 2004년까지 장기간 중국 Waliguan(WLG), 몽골이아의 Ulaan Uul(UUM), 한국의 태안반도(TAP), 일본의 Ryori(RYO)에서 관측한 일산화탄소 농도를 분석하였다. 연평균 일산화탄소 농도는 WLG(135±22ppb), UUM(155±26ppb), RYO(171±36ppb), TAP(233±41ppb) 순서로 높은 농도를 보이고 있었다. WLG를 제외하고 전체적으로 봄철에 높고 여름철에 낮은 계절 변동의 특징은 동아시아 다른 지점들에서도 공통적으로 나타나고 있다. TAP는 WLG, UUM, RYO와 비교하여 전체 계절에 높은 일산화탄소 농도를 보이고 있으며 히스토그램에서 넓은 농도 분포를 보이는데 동아시아 대륙, 특히 중국의 가까운 풍하측에 위치하고 있어 광역적 대기 오염의 영향이 크기 때문이다. TAP는 중국 동부 지역을 경유하는 RPC가 봄, 가을, 겨울에서 높은 농도를 나타내었고, 여름철에는 저위도 북태평양으로부터의 OBG에 의해 낮은 일산화탄소 농도를 갖고 있는 해양성 기단의 영향을 받고 있다. NOAA 위성 영상과 GEOS-CHEM 모델 시뮬레이션은 중국 남동부 연안으로부터 황해를 거쳐 한반도와 동해로 확산하고 있는 광역적 대기오염 이동 사례를 확인하고 있다.

For pure Molybdenum carburized in mixed gases of argon and carbon monoxide, microstructural observations were carried out. X-ray diffraction analysis for carburized specimens revealed that brittle - layer hardly formed in the case of low carbon monoxide concentration. Fracture strength of the specimen carburized at 1673 K for 16 h is about 550 MPa higher than that of the un-carburized specimen. SEM observation revealed that with increasing carburizing temperature, the region demonstrating a transgranular fracture mode progressed towards the center of specimen. This result means that the grain boundaries were strengthened by the grain boundary diffusion of carbon and the strength of grain boundaries exceeded that of grain itself.

This research was performed with the subject of 111 offices in a chemical plant of Korea. Airborne concentration level of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and total suspended particulates in the office rooms were measured along with temperature and relative humidity. Simultaneously, general characteristics and subjective health symptoms of 500 office workers were investigated through a questionnaire consisting of the five point weighting method : 0 = not at all, 1 = a little bit, 2 = moderately, 3 = quite a bit and 4 = extremely. Results showed that the mean values for temperature and relative humidity in investigated office rooms were 22.2℃ and 34.3%, respectively. The concentrations of formaldehyde, PM10, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide were 0.17 ppb, 28.8 ㎍/㎥, 0.95 ppm and 424 ppm, respectively. 56.4% of all the workers investigated replied with a sense of fatigue or weariness (mean=2.23), drowsiness or languidness (mean=2.22), sneezing (mean=2.11) and ophthalmia oreye fatigue (mean=2.07). Female workers, non-smokers, non-drinkers, workers who do shift more than nine hours a day, and workers in poor health experienced more subjective symptoms than other workers (p<0.05). Subjective symptoms of office workers were significantly associated with the following items of office characteristics: the purchase date of office equipment, the change of office furniture, the use of paint, smoking in the office, ventilation condition, the use of an individual air-conditioner, the use of a fax machine, the degree of office repair, the proportion of workers per office, the degree of satisfaction in office environment, and the operation hours of the air-conditioner. Also, subjective symptoms were positively correlated with indoor environmental factors such as relative humidity, carbon dioxide level, level of PM10, and formaldehyde (p<0.05). In conclusion, office characteristics and air quality in a chemical plant affected subjective health symptoms of office workers. Thus, in order to improve the health of workers, to enhance work efficiency, and to establish a better office environment, air quality control in office rooms by optimal ventilation, adequately occupied number of workers in one office, and maintenance of office equipment should be fulfilled thoroughly. keywords：Air quality, Subjective health symptom, Formaldehyde, PM10, Carbon monoxide, Carbon dioxide

Near-IR H2 emission features in the northern region of the Orion A giant molecular cloud were observed in the CO J = 1 → 0 line in search of CO outflows. Out of the 30 sources surveyed, CO line wings were detected toward 28 positions, suggesting a strong correlation between H2 jets and CO outflows. Blueshifted wings were detected toward 26 positions while redshifted wings were detected toward 15 positions, which suggests that there is a bias in the source selection. The bias is more severe in OMC 3 than in OMC 2. Since the protostars in OMC 3 are younger and more deeply embedded, the bias may be caused by the difference of extinction between blueshifted and redshifted outflows. Some physical parameters of the outflows were derived from the line profiles.

The structure of a carbon monoxide sorption complex of dehydrated fully Ca2+-exchanged zeolite X, |Ca46(CO)27|[Si100Al92O384]-FAU, has been determined in the cubic space group Fd 3 at 21℃ (a = 24.970(4) ) by single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. The crystal was prepared by ion exchange in a flowing stream of 0.05 M aqueous Ca(NO3)2 for three days, followed by dehydration at 400℃ and 2×10-6 Torr for two days, and exposure to 100 Torr of zeolitically dry carbon monoxide gas at 21℃. The structure was determined in this atmosphere and was refined, using the 356 reflections for which Fo 〉 4Σ(Fo), to the final error indices R1 = 0.059 and wR2 = 0.087. In this structure, Ca2+ ions occupy three crystallographic sites. Sixteen Ca2+ ions fill the octahedral site I at the centers of hexagonal prisms (Ca-O = 2.415(7) a). The remaining 30 Ca2+ ions are found at two nonequivalent sites II (in the supercages) with occupancies of 3 and 27 ions. Each of these Ca2+ ions coordinates to three framework oxygens, either at 2.276(10) or 2.298(8) a, respectively. Twenty-seven carbon monoxide molecules have been sorbed per unit cell, three per supercage. Each coordinates to one of the latter 16 site-II Ca2+ ions: C-Ca = 2.72(8) a. The imprecisely determined N-C bond length, 1.26(14) a, differs insignificantly from that in carbon monoxide(g), 1.13 a.

Electrochemical promotion of the reaction rate was investigated for CO oxidation in a solid electrolyte catalytic reactor where a thin film of Pt was deposited on the yttria stabilized zirconia as an electrode as well as a catalyst. It was shown under open circuit condition that potential was a mixed potential of O2exchange reaction and electrochemical reaction induced by CO. The effect of electrochemical modification on the CO oxidation rate was studied at various overpotentials and PCOPO2.

급격한 산업화와 인구 증가 등은 국내 폐기물 발생량이 해마다 증가하는 요인으로 작용하고 있으며 이에 따른 다양한 폐기물 처리방법이 수행되고 있다. 대표적인 폐기물 처리 방법 중 하나는 소각에 의한 폐기물 처리이며 다량의 폐기물 처리가 가능하고 특히 폐기물의 부피와 무게를 10~20% 정도로 감량할 수 있으며 소각열에너지를 회수하여 폐기물의 자원순환에 일조하고 있다. 이러한 장점으로 인해 국내 폐기물의 소각처리 비율은 꾸준히 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 그럼에도 불구하고 폐기물 소각처리 중 발생하여 배출되는 다양한 오염물질은 환경에 큰 단점으로 작용할 수 있다. 따라서 소각시설에서 배출되는 오염물질의 모니터링은 환경보전 문제에 있어 매우 중요한 과제이다. 본 연구에서는 소각로에서 배출되는 오염물질의 특성을 파악하기 위해 의료 폐기물 소각로 44개소와 소형 폐기물 소각로 28개소, 총 72개의 가스 샘플을 채취하고 분석하여 주 대기오염 물질인 이산화탄소, 질소산화물, 황산화물, 다이옥신을 측정하였고 배출허용기준과 비교하였다. 또한 주성분분석을 통해 오염물질 배출을 6개 그룹과 6개 샘플로 나누어 각각의 배출특성을 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 다이옥신의 경우 배출허용기준을 초과한 시설은 의료 폐기물 소각로 7개소, 소형 폐기물 소각로 9개소로 나타난 반면, 이산화탄소, 질소산화물, 황산화물의 경우 소형 폐기물 소각로 10개소에서만 배출허용기준을 초과한 것으로 나타났다. 이 결과를 통해 의료 폐기물 소각시설보다 소형 폐기물 소각시설의 오염물질 배출이 심각한 것으로 확인되었으며 방지시설과 운전 조건의 개선이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
