Articles written in Korean should use Korean in principle but can use English and/or Chinese together for some complicated wordings such as name, locale, and journal title. Scientific terminology and name of material should be written in Korean first with the relevant English or Chinese word.
2) Manuscript must be written using a word processing software such as HWP and MS-Word in A4 size (210 × 297 mm) paper with double space. There is no limit to the length of manuscript, but authors are asked to make their manuscript as simple as possible.

2) Articles should comprise its content in the following order: English Abstract, Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion (or Results and Discussion), Conclusions, Acknowledgements, References, Tables, and Figures.
3) Abstract in English should show the purpose and output of study clearly and be distinguished from the main text.
4) Expression of chapters and sections should be made numerically as follows. (Example) 1, 2, 3, ……, 1.1, 1.2, ……, 1.1.1, 1.1.2, ……,
5) Wordings in the text should be used by the scholarly terminology. Proper noun should be used as it is. In addition, unit system should be based on SI system, although it can be used in CGS for the common expressions like mg/L.

7. Tables and Figures

1) For all articles, all Tables and Figures should be written in English.
2) Table and Figure titles should start with Capital letter, and Figure titles end with a period. (Example) Fig. 2. Delivery system and sampling locations.
(Example) Table 3. Effects of temperature on the VOC removal efficiency 3) Figures and Tables should be written in English in principle. However, if English expression cannot be made, a use of Korean is allowed if necessary.

8. References

1) Reference section should be written in English. In the main text, reference should be cited by name and year in the parenthesis. If two or more references are cited, they should be divided by semicolon.
