This experiment was done to investigate the leaching and adsorption properties of heavy metals on porphyry. The comparison with respect to the leachability of heavy metals from porphyry between the Korea Standard Leaching Test (KSLT) and the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) was carried out. The fractional composition of leachate and the total concentration of heavy metal of porphyry were studied through Sequential Extraction Procedure (SEP) and EPA Method 3050. Adsorption experiment of porphyry has pointed out that the optimum dosage of porphyry for 50ppm Pb was over 10g/L, the effective particle size for absorption was below 200 mesh and the optimum pH was about 7. From the Freundlich' adsorption equation, 1/n was 1.0722, and k was 0.0041. After adsorption, the fractional composition of Pb was changed. The exchangeable, carbonate, reducible fractions were increased, and the organic fraction was not changed, and the residual fraction was decreased.

This study was carried out to characterize the chemical composition and leaching properties of heavy metals in coal fly ash, which was generated from Korean electrical power utilities in several million tons per year. Comparion with respect to the leachability of heavy metals between the Korea standard leaching test (KSLT) and the American Environment Protection Agency (EPA) method 1311 (TCLP: Toxicity Chracteristic Leaching Procedure) was performed. The concentration of Ag, As, Ba, Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb, Se, Hg in the leacheate was determined by ICP-MS. The analytical result showed a significant difference of the leachability according to the characteristics of the leaching solution except Se, suggesting the necessity of improvement in the leaching test method that is currently implemented in Korea.

섬유제품의 유해물질의 유해성에 관한 연구로서는 가공처리제의 공해실태, 시판되고 있는 천 및 의류제품의 formaldehyde 함량조사와 인체장해실태가 조사된 정도이며, 무기 화합물, 유기 화합물질의 발암성 주요인이 되는 다이옥신에 관한 유해성평가는 전무한 실정이다. 환경친화적인 활동이 활발한 유럽 각국에서는 섬유제품의 환경마크인 Eco-Label를 기준으로 하며, 미국과 일본에서는 발암성의 원인이 되며 내분비계 장애물질인 다이옥신에 관한 피복의 유해성 평가에 관한 연구가 활발하게 행해지고 있다. (중략)

Endometriosis becomes the most common cause of pelvic pain and infertility women. The cause of endometriosis has ever been entirely proven. However, an increased use of commercial feminine hygiene products such as tampons and sanitary napkins was considered one of the major affect. Harmful substances in feminine hygiene products was analyzed and evaluated. Samples of commercial products obtained from Korea, Japan, America, Germany, and China were analyzed for six hazardous inorganic elements (chromium, cobalt, nickel, copper, cadmium and lead). In the extractable heavy metals of napkins, Cr, Ni and Cu were found in all of the samples, while Cd was detected only in two samples. In the tampons, Cr, Ni and Cu were found in all of the samples. The presence of Co and Cd was not detected in all samples The concentrations of extractable heavy metals in the tampons were lower than those in the sanitary napkins. The content of extractable heavy metals in the sanitary products was compared with the criteria of the 100 $\ddot{O}KO$ TEX Standard. It was confirmed that the level of heavy metals in the sanitary products posed no serious risk to health, based on the human-ecological criteria defined by the 100 $\ddot{O}KO$ TEX Standard.

In order to develop the multi-residue purification method for 180 pesticides commonly used in Korea, many analytical methods on individual and multi- pesticide residues in the agricultural commodities and food product were examined. Through the modification of adsorption chromatographic methods used in Europe, the United States and Korea, the Florisil and silica-gel chromatographic systems were developed. Through these purification systems, elution profiles for all pesticides were examined. As the results, 145 pesticides were recovered in the range of 70-120% in Florisil clean-up system. The distribution of pesticides in the elution profile was 12 pesticides in the first fraction, 76 pesticides in the second fraction, 81 pesticides in the third fraction, 60 pesticides in the fourth fraction and 30 pesticides in the last fraction. And, in silica-gel system, 137 pesticides were recovered in the range of 70~120%. The distribution of pesticides in the elution profile was 22 pesticides in the first fraction, 59 pesticides in the second fraction, 102 pesticides in the third fraction, 46 pesticides in the fourth fraction and 8 pesticides in the last fraction.

This study applied EK method to remediate contaminated soil by lead (Pb), tried increasing efficiency of remediation using adsorbent (apatite and zeolite) as enhanced EK remediation method to overcome the limit of traditional EK remediation method. Adsorption tests on Pb were practiced to extract EK, making different concentration of contaminated soil, voltage condition, operating time etc., transferring Pb-ion into the position of adsorbent, then tried immobilization. On this results, the efficiency of remediation is different on its test conditions. In addition, the efficiency of remediation was not only improved by adding electrode revεrsal and install position of adsorbent but also satisfied TCLP regulation of EPA in USA through the whole sample range. Finally, absorption and immobilization capacity of apatite and zeolite proved on its excellence and confirmed the possibility of application of apatite and zeolite as enhanced EK remediation method.

Based on the results of Part 1 of our two-parts paper, the possibility on field applicability of CMDS(Coal Mine Drainage Sludge) mixed with bentonite and cement as a liner in landfill sites was investigated. The optimum moisture content that met the landfill liner condition was obtained when the ratio of CMDS: bentonite: cement was 1: 0.5: 0.3 in a lab-scale. The relative compaction was measured in 90.1%, which results for construction field have been generally acceptable. In this study, a large-scale Lysimeter($1.0m{\times}1.5m{\times}2.0m$) was used to simulate the effects of the layer on the freeze/thaw by -20 average temperature. The mixture after freezing/thawing showed compressive strength more than $5kg/cm^2$, which was satisfied with EPA standards. Initial permeability of CMDS was $7.10{\times}10^{-7}cm/s$ and permeability its mixture after freezing/thawing was increased to $9.80{\times}10^{-7}cm/s$. The change of temperature in the layers rises and falls with linear and temperature gradient keep maintain the present state. Moisture contents in the layers have not been radically changed. Through the leaching test determined by KSLT method, it was found that heavy metals excluding Zn and Ni were not leached out or leached out less than the standards during 7 cycles of freezing/thawing process. Since it shows the increased permeability about 1.5 times and slight change in moisture content, but it was satisfied with EPA standar through 7 cycles of freezing/thawing process, this mixture can be applied as a liner in landfill final cover system.

Fluxapyroxad is classified as carboxamide fungicide that inhibits succinate dehydrogenase in complex II of mitochondrial respiratory chain, which results in inhibition of mycelial growth within the fungus target species. This study was carried out to assure the safety of fluxapyroxad residues in agricultural products by developing an official analytical method. A new, reliable analytical method was developed and validated using High Performance liquid Chromatograph-UV/visible detector (HPLC-UVD) for the determination of fluxapyroxad residues. The fluxapyroxad residues in samples were extracted with acetonitrile, partitioned with dichloromethane, and then purified with silica solid phase extraction (SPE) cartridge. Correlation coefficient($R^2$) of fluxapyroxad standard solution was 0.9999. The method was validated using apple, pear, peanut, pepper, hulled rice, potato, and soybean spiked with fluxapyroxad at 0.05 and 0.5 mg/kg. Average recoveries were 80.6~114.0% with relative standard deviation less than 10%, and limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) were 0.01 and 0.05 mg/kg, respectively. All validation parameters were followed with Codex guideline (CAC/GL 40). LC-MS (Liquid Chromatograph-Mass Spectrometer) was also applied to confirm the analytical method. Base on these results, this method was found to be appropriate fluxapyroxad residue determination and can be used as the official method of analysis.
