This study was performed to investigate the health status of 600 owner-driver of taxi in Seoul City during from August 1, 2003 to February 28, 2004. The prevalence of subjective symptoms were surveyed by a general health questionnaires such as Todai Health Index (THI) and the Cornell Medical Index (CMI). In the THI health check table, prevalence of the complaints of mental subjective symptom by age was high in the items of fabrication (L), digestion (C), and aggressiveness (F) from 31 to 40 years old drivers and mental subjective symptom by age was high in all items except for tiredness (I), melancholia (N), and hypersensitivity (P) for the 60 years old drivers and showed in the items of melancholia (N) and hypersensitivity (P) for the 40 years old. From the complaints of mental and physical subjective symptoms about work satisfaction in the THI health check table, the strong dissatisfaction showed in the all items except for eye and skin trouble (B). All items except hypersensitivity (P) showed dissatisfaction in prevalence of complains of mental and physical subjective symptoms about work satisfaction in the CMI health check table. From the complains of mental and physical subjective symptoms on salary satisfaction in the THI health check table, the taxi driver who earn the salary of 1 million won showed statistically significant symptom of eye and skin trouble (B) and showed high tendency in all items except for respiratory (A) and digestion (C) systems. It is suggested that the appropriate health control for owner-driver of taxi should be applied to reduce the prevalence of complaints that showed mainly in the irregular working time and sleeping disorders.

In this study, the series of ultrasonic irradiation for removal of refractory aromatic compounds has been selected as a model reaction in the batch reactor system in order to obtain the reaction kinetics. The products obtained from the ultrasonic irradiation were analysed by GC and GC/MSD. The decomposition of benzene produced toluene, phenol, and C1-C4 compounds, while the intermediates during the ultrasonic irradiation of 2,4-Dichorophenol(DCP) were phenol, HCl, catechol, hydroquinone, and benzoquinone. It was found that more than 80% of benzene, and 2,4-DCP solutions were removed within 2 hours in all reaction conditions. The reaction order in the degradation of these three compounds was verified as pseudo-zero or first order. From the fore-mentioned results, it can be concluded that the refractory organic compounds could be removed by the ultrasonic irradiation with radicals, such as H and OH radical causing the high increase of pressure and temperature. Finally, it appeared that the technology using ultrasonic irradiation can be applied to the treatment of refractory compounds which are difficult to be decomposed by the conventional methods.

Recently, Indoor air quality(IAQ) in workplace, residential environments and schools has been concern of people, scientists and related the public. And so in Seoul has recognized the healthy effect related to IAQ in schools. Therefore, the objective of this study reported in this article were to measure and compare the perception of IAQ of selected air pollutants at three different schools in Seoul. We performed a questionnaire survey of 400 students about their awareness for the importance of IAQ in our school. And we measured the IAQ of 3 schools considering as site region, construction year and studying level. The indoor air pollutants and parameters such as temperature, relative humidity, respirable particulate matter(PM10). formaldehyde(HCHO), total bacteria counts(TBC), carbon dioxide(C0₂), and noise were monitored in indoors. In results, all most response of occupant has recognized the awareness of IAQ at schools. The PM10. TBC and Noise level of all schools were higher than the standard of the public 150㎍/m³ and 500 CFU/rn³, the level formaldehyde(HCHO) was below 0.1 ppm of the healthy guideline of Korea And the concentration of CO₂ were investigated below 1,000 ppm of the standard implying ventilation in 2 schools except for 1 school(c school). Finally. the control of most important pollutants of IAQ in school were PM 10. TBC and Noise. Therefore, it can be concluded that the indoor air quality of selected 3 schools studied was perceived as acceptable. it is recommended that the government related IAQ was suggested the guideline and control of lAQ problems in schools. and all member relating school need to be effort to reduce the exposure of sources to undesirable indoor pollutants such as Particlate and Noise.

The objective of this study was to develop a mechanistically based mathematical model that would consider the interdependence of VOCs transport, microbial activity, and sorptive interactions in a moist, unsaturated soil. Because the focus of the model was on description of natural attenuation, the advective VOCs transport that is induced in engineered remediation processes such as vapor extraction was not considered. The utility of the model was assessed through its ability to describe experimental observations from diffusion experiments using toluene as a representative VOCs in well-defined soil columns that contained a toluene degrading bacterium, Pseudomonas putida G7 and F1, as the sole active microbial species. The gas-liquid mass-transfer was found to be a key parameter controlling the ability of bacteria to degrade VOCs. This finding indicates that soil size and geometry are likely to be important parameters in assessing the possible success of natural attenuation of VOCs in contaminated unsaturated soils.<br/> Therefore we found that Pseudomonas putida G7 and F1 were very effective to remove of refractory pollutants such as toluene in soil by Bio-filter.

This study was conducted to identify suitable methods for measurement of formaldehyde in ambient air at sub-ppm levels. Experiments were designed to compare four different analysis procedures including NIOSH Method No. 3500, NIOSH Method No.2541, EPA Method No. 67 and passive tube method under favorable conditions(laboratory exposure chamber) and in ambient air of the household furniture shops. The results were as follows ; 1. Absolute bias by each method were less than 26.8% at the theoretical exposure concentration of 0.21ppm and all methods except the passive method produced precise results at this levels. Use of the NIOSH Method No. 3500 indicated accuracy was approximately 1.5~2.8 times higher than those determined by NIOSH Method No. 2541 and EPA Method No. 67. 2. EPA Method No. 67 had the best precision and accuracy at 0.12ppm level similar to the current regulatory limit for the formaldehyde in ambient air. 3. The amounts of released formaldehyde for household furniture shops were 0.040ppm by NIOSH Method No. 3500, 0.051ppm by NIOSH Method No.2541, 0.054ppm by EPA Method No. 67 and 0.096ppm by passive tube method, respectively. The concentrations indicated by passive tube method were consistently higher than those measured by the other methods. No statistically significant differences of formaldehyde concentrations among ambient air except the passive tube method were found(p<0.05).

This paper was conducted concerning the degree of indoor air quality in public transport vehicles such as taxicabs, buses and subway trains, as sampled through the active participation of drivers and passengers in Seoul between 13th August 2005 and 2nd November 2005. The results were summarized as follows: 1. Among the measured substances especially respirable particulate matters (PM₁?), total bacteria counts (TBC) and carbon dioxide (CO₂) exceeded the standard level of 150 ㎍/㎥, 800 CFU/㎥ and 1000ppm. 2. The concentration of carbon dioxide (CO₂) in taxi recorded 2491ppm, which is more than the standard amount of 1000ppm. This level was comparatively higher than all other public transportation methods. Total bacteria counts (TBC) in bus and subway recorded 1082CFU/㎥ and 1856CFU/㎥, respectively. 3. The drivers who regularly work long hours showed the higher concern about contamination of the air inside the public transport vehicles and they considered it to be worse than the air outside. In contrast, the general public showed less concern about the air quality inside the public transport vehicles. However, they too acknowledged that the quality of the air inside the public transport vehicles was poor. In regards to the degree of indoor air quality in the public transport vehicles, a counterplan must be implemented urgently to effectively combat the excessive levels of PM₁?, microorganism and CO₂. We need to gather more conclusive evidence pertaining to other possible contaminants and influencing factors.
