As the severity of environmental pollution increases, the foodstuffs are contaminated more the ever. There are 40 kinds of heavy metals that we are able to consume through the heavy metal contaminated-foodstuffs. Arsenic, lead, cadmium, and chromium out or them have been know to be a potential cause for a alzheimers disease, kidney diseases, and cancer. However, research data on the daily intakes of such heavy metals are limited. This study was performed to evaluate the daily intakes of nutrients and the dietary heavy metals of the college women living in Choongchung-NamDo Area, where had been reported to have high contents of heavy metals for the seafoods. We also investigated the blood levels of the heavy metals. The mean age, height, weight, BMI and percent ideal body weight(PIBW) of the subjects were 20$\pm$1.0yr, 158.4$\pm$0.7cm, 55.1$\pm$1.4kg, 22.4$\pm$.04, and 103.3$\pm$2.5 %, resp-ectivly. The mean of daily energy intake was 1,717.03$\pm$55.99kacl/day(86% of RDA for women). The ratio to energy from carbohydrate, fat and protein was 60: 24: 16. Daily intakes of Vit A, Vit B$_2$, CA, and Fe were under the RDA for those nutrients. The mean adequate ratio of the subjects was 0.92 . The daily intakes of heavy metal, such as As, Pb, Co, Cr and Mn , were 1.80$\pm$0.27mg, 75.21$\pm$4.12$\mu\textrm{g}$, 21.12$\pm$12.34$\mu\textrm{g}$, 60.07$\pm$6.24$\mu\textrm{g}$ and 6.23 $\pm$0.12mg respectively. the blood levels of As, Pb, Co, Cr and Mn were 16.10$\pm$2.10$\mu\textrm{g}$/dl, 4.32$\pm$0.58$\mu\textrm{g}$/dl, 0.02$\pm$0.01$\mu\textrm{g}$/dl, 4.23$\pm$0.41$\mu\textrm{g}$/dl, and 4.40$\pm$0.21$\mu\textrm{g}$/dl, respectively. In conclusion, daily intake of heavy metals for the college women living in Choongchung-NamDo area was lower than that of WHOs re-commendation, however, the blood levels of each heavy metals were higher than those of Japanese, american, and italian, There were no correlations between the dietary intakes and blood levels of each heavy metals.

Geochemical characteristics of environmental toxic elements at the Narim mine area were investigated on the basis of major, minor, rare earth element geochemistry and mineralogy. Ratios of $Al_2O_3/Na_2O$ and $K_2O/Na_2O$ in soils and sediments range from 11.57 to 22.21 and from 1.86 to 3.93, and are partly negative and positive correlation against $SiO_2/Al_2O_3$ (3.41 to 4.78), respectively. These suggested that sediment source of host granitic gneiss could be due to rocks of high grade metamorphism originated by sedimentary rocks. Characteristics of some trace and rare earth elements of V/Ni (0.33 to 1.95), Ni/Co (2.00 to 6.50), Zr/Hf (11.27 to 53.10), La/Ce (0.44 to 0.55), Th/Yb (4.07 to 7.14), La/Th (2.35 to 3.93), $La_N/Yb_N$ (6.58 to 13.67), Co/Th (0.63 to 2.68), La/Sc (3.29 to 5.94) and Sc/Th (0.49 to 1.00) are revealed a narrow range and homogeneous compositions may be explained by simple source lithology. Major elements in all samples are enriched $Al_2O_3$, MgO, $TiO_2$ and LOI, especially $Fe_2O_3$ (mean=7.36 wt.%) in sediments than the composition of host granitic gneiss. The average enrichment indices of major and rare earth elements from the mining drainage are 2.05 and 2.91 of the sediments and are 2.02 and 2.60 of the soils, normalizing by composition of host granitic gneiss, respectively. Average composition (ppm) of minor and/or environmental toxic elements in sediments and soils are Ag=14 and 1, As=199 and 14, Cd=22 and 1, Cu=215 and 42, Pb=1770 and 65, Sb=18 and 3, Zn=3333 and 170, respectively, and extremely high concentrations are found in the subsurface sediments near the ore dump. Environmental toxic elements were strongly enriched in all samples, especially As, Cd, Cu, Pb, Sb and Zn. The level of enrichment was very severe in mining drainage sediments, while it was not so great in the soils. Based on the EPA value, enrichment index of toxic elements is 8.63 of mining drainage sediments and 0.54 of soils on the mining drainage. Mineral composition of soils and sediments near the mining area were partly variable being composed of quartz, mica, feldspar, amphibole, chlorite and clay minerals. From the gravity separated mineralogy, soils and sediments are composed of some pyrite, arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite, galena, goethite and various hydroxide minerals.

The analysis of rapid flow transients in Reactor Coolant Pumps (RCP) is essential for a reactor safety study. An accurate and precise analysis of the RCP coastdown is necessary for the reactor design. The coastdown of RCP affects the coolant temperature and the colloidal crud in the primary coolant. A realistic and kinetic model has been used to investigate the behavior of activated colloidal crud in the primary coolant and steam generator that solves the pump speed analytically. The analytic solution of the non-dimensional flow rate has been determined by the energy ratio β. The kinetic energy of the coolant fluid and the kinetic energy stored in the rotating parts of a pump are two essential parameters in the form of β. Under normal operation, the pump's speed and moment of inertia are constant. However, in a coastdown situation, kinetic damping in the interval has been implemented. A dynamic model ACCP-SMART has been developed for System Integrated Modular and Advanced Reactor (SMART) to investigate the corrosion due to activated colloidal crud. The Fickian diffusion model has been implemented as the reference corrosion model for the constituent component of the primary loop of the SMART reactor. The activated colloidal crud activity in the primary coolant and steam generator of the SMART reactor has been studied for different equilibrium corrosion rates, linear increase in corrosion rate, and dynamic RCP coastdown situation energy ratio b. The coolant specific activity of SMART reactor equilibrium corrosion (4.0 mg s^-1) has been found 9.63×10^-3 µCi cm^-3, 3.53×10^-3 µC cm^-3, 2.39×10^-2 µC cm^-3, 8.10×10^-3 µC cm^-3, 6.77× 10^-3 µC cm^-3, 4.95×10^-4 µC cm^-3, 1.19×10^-3 µC cm^-3, and 7.87×10^-4 µC cm^-3 for ²⁴Na, ⁵⁴Mn, ⁵⁶Mn, ⁵⁹Fe, ⁵⁸Co, ⁶⁰Co, ⁹⁹Mo, and ⁵¹Cr which are 14.95%, 5.48%, 37.08%, 12.57%, 10.51%, 0.77%, 18.50%, and 0.12% respectively. For linear and exponential coastdown with a constant corrosion rate, the total coolant and steam generator activity approaches a higher saturation value than the normal values. The coolant and steam generator activity changes considerably with kinetic corrosion rate, equilibrium corrosion, growth of corrosion rate (ΔC/Δt), and RCP coastdown situations. The effect of the RCP coastdown on the specific activity of the steam generators is smeared by linearly rising corrosion rates, equilibrium corrosion, and rapid coasting down of the RCP. However, the time taken to reach the saturation activity is also influenced by the slope of corrosion rate, coastdown situation, equilibrium corrosion rate, and energy ratio β.

Urban groundwater has a unique hydrologic system because of the complex surface and subsurface infrastructures such as deep foundation of many high buildings, subway systems, and sewers and public water supply systems. It generally has been considered that increased surface impermeability reduces the amount of groundwater recharge. On the other hand, leaks from sewers and public water supply systems may generate the large amounts of recharges. All of these urban facilities also may change the groundwater quality by the recharge of a myriad of contaminants. This study was performed to determine the factors controlling the recharge of deep groundwater in an urban area, based on the hydrogeochemical characteristics. The term ‘contamination’ in this study means any kind of inflow of shallow groundwater regardless of clean or contaminated. For this study, urban groundwater samples were collected from a total of 310 preexisting wells with the depth over 100 m. Random sampling method was used to select the wells for this study. Major cations together with Si, Al, Fe, Pb, Hg and Mn were analyzed by ICP-AES, and Cl, N $O_3$, N $H_4$, F, Br, S $O_4$and P $O_4$ were analyzed by IC. There are two groups of groundwater, based on hydrochemical characteristics. The first group is distributed broadly from Ca-HC $O_3$ type to Ca-C1+N $O_3$ type; the other group is the Na+K-HC $O_3$ type. The latter group is considered to represent the baseline quality of deep groundwater in the study area. Using the major ions data for the Na+K-HC $O_3$ type water, we evaluated the extent of groundwater contamination, assuming that if subtract the baseline composition from acquired data for a specific water, the remaining concentrations may indicate the degree of contamination. The remainder of each solute for each sample was simply averaged. The results showed that both Ca and HC $O_3$ represent the typical solutes which are quite enriched in urban groundwater. In particular, the P$CO_2$ values calculated using PHREEQC (version 2.8) showed a correlation with the concentrations of maior inorganic components (Na, Mg, Ca, N $O_3$, S $O_4$, etc.). The p$CO_2$ values for the first group waters widely ranged between about 10$^{-3.0}$ atm to 10$^{-1.0}$ atm and differed from those of the background water samples belonging to the Na+K-HC $O_3$ type (<10$^{-3.5}$ atm). Considering that the p$CO_2$ of soil water (near 10$^{-1.5}$ atm), this indicates that inflow of shallow water is very significant in deep groundwaters in the study area. Furthermore, the P$CO_2$ values can be used as an effective parameter to estimate the relative recharge of shallow water and thus the contamination susceptibility. The results of our present study suggest that down to considerable depth, urban groundwater in crystalline aquifer may be considerably affected by the recharge of shallow water (and pollutants) from an adjacent area. We also suggest that for such evaluation, careful examination of systematically collected hydrochemical data is requisite as an effective tool, in addition to hydrologic and hydrogeologic interpretation.ion.ion.

도시지역의 오염된 우수관퇴적물과 관련된 주요 관심사항 중의 하나는 산성비의 pH와 탄산염광물의 완충역할에 따른 중금속 원소의 단기적인 유동도이다. 탄산염광물의 완충역할은 적정법에 의해 평가되었다. 용출실험은 다양한 초기 질산농도를 갖는 용액으로 24 시간동안 실시하였다. 우수관퇴적물은 주로 방해석과 백운석에 의해 완충되는 것으로 나타났다. 탄산염광물을 많이 함유하고 있는 퇴적물 시료의 경우, pH가 산도 (acidity)의 증가에 따라 서서히 감소하였다. 탄산염광물을 덜 함유하고 있는 퇴적물 시료는 pH가 2 정도까지 급격하게 감소하다가 그 이후 천천히 감소하였다. 용출반응은 산용액이 더 첨가되어 탄산염광물의 완충역할을 완전하게 소모할 때까지 늦어졌다. pH가 감소됨에 따라 반응액의 아연, 구리, 납 및 망간 함량은 급격하게 증가하는 반면, 카드뮴, 코발트, 니켈, 크롬 및 철의 용해는 매우 느리며 제한적이었다. 중금속 원소의 용해도는 반응액의 pH값 뿐만아니라 퇴적물 입자와 수반된 금속원소의 존재형태에 의존한다. 약 산성환경에서, 아연, 카드뮴, 코발트, 니켈 및 구리의 용해작용이 점차적으로 중요해졌다. 용출실험으로부터, pH 5에서의 중금속 원소의 상대적인 유동도는 다음과 같다: 아연>카드뮴>코발트>니켈>구리>>납>크롬. 이는 약한 산성비가 오염된 우수관퇴적물로부터 아연, 카드뮴, 코발트, 니켈 및 구리를 용출시기는 반면에 납과 크롬은 용출시키지 못한다는 것을 지시한다. 방해석과 백운석 등의 탄산염광물의 완충역할은 심하게 오염된 우수관 퇴적물의 용출반응을 늦어지게 할 뿐 아니라 제한하는 데 중요한 역할을 하고 있다. 이와 간은 2차적인 환경오염은 퇴적물에 있는 금속원소가 산성비에 의해 얼마나 잘 용출되는 가에 의해 좌우된다. 물리화학적인 환경변화는 중금속에 의한 심각한 환경오염을 야기시킬 수 있다. 이런 연구결과는 오염된 퇴적물의 관리에 고려되어야 한다.

LED의 간 보호 기능을 연구하기 위하여 $CCl_4$ 및 ethanol로 SD rat에 간독성을 유발한 다음, LED를 처리하였다. LED의 간 기능 보호효과는 간장치료제인 Silymarin과 비교하였다. $CCl_4$로 간 독성을 유발한 경우, LED는간의 항산화효소인 SOD, catalase, GSH peroxidase 효소활성의 항진을 유도하였고, 산화물인 TBARS의 함량을 감소시켰다. 또한 간 손상의 지표인 혈장의 GOT, GPT 및 LDH의 활성을 감소시켰다. Ethanol로 간 독성을 유발한 경우 LED는 간의 SOD, catalase, GSH preoxidase 효소활성 및 GSH 함량을 항진시켰고, 총 cholesterol, triglyceride 및 TBARS의 함량을 감소시켰다. 또한 ethanol 대사에 관여하는 ADH 효소 활성을 증진시켰고, ROS 생성에 관여하는 CYP2E1 효소의 발현을 감소시킴으로써, 혈장의 GOT, GPT 및 LDH 효소활성이 감소되었다. 또한 LED는 DPPH 및 mouse liver mitochondrial system에서 항산화효과를 보였다. 이러한 결과로 미루어 볼 때 LED는 in vitro와 in vivo에서 항산화효과에 의한 간 기능 보호효과를 갖는 것으로 추정된다.

발아중인 옥수수에서의 전분의 가수분해효소인 amylases의 종류를 규명하고자 황산 암모늄염석법, DEAE-Sephadex A-50을 이 용한 이온교환칼럼법과 Sephadex G-100 Gel filtration chromatography 방법으로 정제하였으며 전분가수분해 효소는 3개의 peak가 나타났으며, 이를 각각 모아서 정제한 결과 각각의 비활성은 70.47(units/mg), 62.98(units/mg), 80.39(units/mg)으로 저단백식품의 하나인 옥수수임에도 불구하고 높은 활성을 나타내었다. 이것은 발아중 가수분해되는 전분체내에 이 효소의 작용이 커졌음을 유리당의 양이 증가하였음으로 알 수 있었다. 또한 고속액체 크로마토그라피를 이용하여 분석한 결과 3종류의 amylases중에 amylases(I)은 $\alpha$-amytotetrose의 종류로 밝혀졌으며, amylase(II)와 (III)는 각각, 주로 maltotetrose의 단위로 가수분해하는 전분 분해 효소이나. 서로 생물학적 성격에서 약간씩의 차이를 보이므로 같은 종류는 아닐 것으로 사료되었다.
