Objectives: This study determined the local human health burden of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) as disability adjusted life years (DALY) for three Korean cities: Jeonju, Iksan and Changwon. Major air pollutants and emission sources contributing the local human health burden w...
Low-cost mineral silicate sepiolite was calcined at high temperature to increase its heavy metal removal efficiency. Sepiolite calcined at 950℃ (S950) showed higher adsorption amount of Cd2+, Cu2+, Pb2+ and Ni2+ than that of sepiolite calcined at other temperature. The adsorpti...
Because of global warming, global temperature such as greenhouse effect is rising every year. Increasing temperature will have a pernicious impact on the reproductive rate, population and habitat of the insects. As the temperature rises, the abundance of algae and plankton creat...
Objectives: The production cost of reverse osmosis (RO) seawater desalination plant is determined by the CAPEX (Capital expenditure) and OPEX (Operating expenditure). In detail, CAPEX and OPEX are composed of direct cost, overhead cost, electricity cost, and other O&M costs. How...
To improve the limitation of physicochemical analysis for water pollutants, there were attempts for ecotoxicity assessment and ecotoxicological risk assessment using various ecotoxicity test species. Especially, study on ecotoxicity using Korean native species as well as Korean ...
