비점오염원은 강우시 토지이용형태에 따라 유출특성이 다양하게 나타나며, 특히 강우 초기에 고농도의 유출수가 수계로 유입하게 된다. 또한 강우량, 강우강도, 선행건기일수 등은 비점오염물질의 농도에 영향을 미치며, 특히 선행건기일수가 길고 강우강도가 강한 강우사상일 경우 고농도의 오염물질이 배출되는 것으로 나타나고 있다(안태웅 등, 2012). 이에 본 연구에서는 3년간(2010년 ~ 2012년)의 모니터링을 통해 고랭지 밭에서 발생하는 비점오염물질의 초기세척효과를 분석하고자 하였다. 초기세척효과의 판단은 Geiger(1987)이 제시한 누적오염부하량과 누적유출량과의 그래프를 비교하여 기울기가 45도 기울기보다 상향하여 분포하였을 경우 양분선과 최대로 벌어진 부분의 시간까지에서 초기세척효과가 발생한다고 판단하였다. 연구결과, 고랭지 밭 지역의 경우 뚜렷한 초기세척효과 현상이 나타나지 않았다. 하지만 CODCr의 경우 3차 강우사상에서 초기세척 효과가 나타난 것으로 분석되었다. 3차 강우사상은 선행건기일수가 0.9일로 매우 짧고 발생강우량이 27.3 mm로 연구기간 동안 가장 적은 강우량이 관측되었지만, 유출발생시점 전후 3시간 동안 강우강도가 4.0 ~ 6.2 mm/hr로 높게 나타났기 때문에 유출초기에 고농도의 오염물질이 발생된 것으로 판단된다. 그동안 선행된 초기세척효과에 대한 연구를 살펴본 결과 이병수 등(2008)은 경안천 유역 농업지역에 대해 초기세척효과를 분석한 결과 일부 강우에서는 초기세척현상이 나타나지만 대부분의 강우에서는 초기세척현상이 나타나지 않아 농촌지역의 경우 초기세척현상의 접근방법은 적절치 않다고 보고하고 있다. 정성민 등(2009)은 고랭지 농업지역에서 SS와 TP는 뚜렷한 초기세척현상이 나타나는 반면, TN과 DOC는 경향을 보이지 않는다고 하였다. 하지만 윤영삼 등(2011)은 강우시 포도밭에서 초기세척효과를 분석한 결과 모든 수질항목에서 약한 초기세척효과가 나타났고 특히 SS의 경우 초기세척효과가 강하게 나타났다고 보고하고 있다. 이처럼 투수지역에서의 초기세척효과에 대한 판단은 연구자에 따라 차이를 보이는데 이러한 이유는 투수지역의 토양의 특성, 강우조건, 지형적 특징 등이 영향을 미치는 것으로 판단된다.

점차 복잡해지고 있는 사회적 욕구를 만족시키기 위한 건물에서는 반드시 복잡한 설비가 요구되고 있고, 이러한 설비시스템 중에는 급수, 급탕 및 배수설비라고 하는 배관시스템이 없다면 기능유지에 막대한 지장을 초래할 것은 자명하다고 하겠다. 이러한 배관시스템에서는 항시 또는 일부 사용되어질 물이나 사용된 물이 흐르기 때문에 배관내부에 발생하는 스케일(scale)이나 슬라임(slime) 등은 피할 수 없는 사실인 것이다. 건축물 내에 설치된 각종 배관은 건물의 기능을 유지하고 보건위생과 직결되는 중요한 기능을 담당하고 있어 세척의 필요성이 매우 높음에도 불구하고 배관의 수명이 다할 때까지 거의 세척이 이루어지지 않고 사용되어 왔다. 이들 배관에 대한 세척은 배관의 수명연장과 관마찰 계수를 낮추어 급수의 수송동력을 절감할 수 있고, 난방관의 열전달 효과를 높여 에너지 절약 효과를 거두어 건물의 유지관리 비용 절감에 기여할 수 있음에도 적절한 세척공법이 개발되지 않고 있다. 이러한 관점에 맞추어 건물배관의 특성에 맞도록 고압 세척장치를 개발하고 이를 이용한 세척공법을 적용하고자 하였다. 즉, 배관 내에 압축공기를 주기적으로 분사하여 맥동현상이 일어나도록 하면서 기포를 발생시켜 기포가 관의 내벽에서 성장하여 파괴될 때 관내에 부착된 이물질을 제거할 수 있고, 또한 세척효과를 높이기 위하여 관의 벽면에 접촉하면서 배출되는 과정에서 이물질을 제거할 수 있도록 구조와 아울러 이들 장치를 이용한 세척방법의 적용성에 대해서 고찰하고자 한다.

비소로 오염된 폐광산주변 하천 퇴적토 오염 복원을 위한 토양세척법의 복원효율을 규명하였다. 세척액에 대한 비소제거 효율을 규명하기 위해 오염된 3종류의 하천 퇴적토에 대하여 초산, 구연산, 염산 각 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.5, 1N 수용액과 증류수(pH 5.41)에 대한 세척실험을 실시하였다. 실험결과 세척 효율은 염산과 구연산 용액의 경우 0.05N 이상에서 저농도의 구연산을 제외하고 99.9% 이상의 제거효과를 나타내었다. 초산의 경우 1N의 경우에도 36%와 71%의 낮은 세척 효율을 보였으며, 증류수로 세척한 경우에는 20% 내외의 세척 효율을 나타내었다. 이러한 세척 효율은 본 오염지역의 복원목표를 토양오염 우려기준의 40% 농도(2.4mg/kg)로 설정하여 하천퇴적토를 복원할 수 있음을 나타내고 있으며, 결론적으로 오염 퇴적토의 농도 분포에 따라 적절한 세척액을 선택한다면 세척 효과를 훨씬 증대시킬 수 있으리라 사료된다. 본 연구를 통한 세척효율 결과는 연구지역을 포함한 전국 각지의 폐광산 복원공정 설계에 중요한 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

There are various kinds of cereals used in sunsik manufacturing. Different harmful microorganisms that can contaminate these cereals have been reported. According to the different sizes of cereals used, black bean, black rice, and millet were artificially contaminated with Escherichia $Coli.$ $E.$ $coli$ contamination in cereal samples was detected after different washing steps under different conditions. The increase of washing time did not have any effect with regard to reducing $E.$ $coli$ in samples. Among several ratios between the washing solution and sample, 2:1 that have little influence to reduce $E.$ $coli$ contamination have been determined. The temperature of the washing solution is an influencing factor as well. Washing with solution at $40^{\circ}C$ could reduce 1 log of $E.$ $coli$ in samples. Among different concentrations of saline used as a washing solution, 5% could reduce 2~3 log $E.$ $coli$ in contaminated samples. However, the saline adds a salty taste to cereals when used during the washing step. To remove that, an extra washing step and large amount of washing solution are necessary in sunsik manufacturing.

We assessed quality changes in and washing effects (time and method) on lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) treated with micro-bubbles. Samples were treated with micro-bubbling for 1, 3, or 5 min, and the 5-min treatment yielded the best results in terms of reduced total microorganism counts, sensory aspects, and degree of washing. Total microorganism counts were 4.30 log colony-forming units (CFU)/g in unwashed lettuce(CT), 4.10 log CFU/g in hand-washed lettuce (HW), 3.98 log CFU/g in conventional, bubble-washed lettuce (BW) and 3.25 log CFU/g in micro-bubble-washed lettuce (MW). In comparison, total counts of samples examined after 10 days of storage were 7.00 log CFU/g for CT, 6.19 log CFU/g for HW, 6.02 log CFU/g for BW, and 5.89 log CFU/g for MW. The lowest counts were seen after micro-bubble treatment. BW and MW samples showed significantly higher counts than did CT and HW samples. In general, BW and MW samples did not vary significantly in count numbers. MW showed a 2.3-fold lower residual pesticide level compared with CT, and also had the lowest level of impurities. HW and BW samples were not well washed.

The effect of washing fingerprints deposited on glass that were contaminated with a flammable liquid (gasoline, kerosene, diesel, and thinner) was studied by washing with hexane or heptane. The fingerprints were visualized using fuming cyanoacrylate, followed by basic yellow 40 staining. After comparing the washing effect, by dividing one fingerprint into four sections, it was confirmed that the ridge detail was damaged by dissolving the fingerprints in flammable liquid. As a result of washing fingerprints contaminated with flammable liquids using hexane or heptane, fingerprints contaminated with gasoline, kerosene, and thinner did not show a washing effect because the ridge detail was damaged at the time of contamination, and only fingerprints contaminated with diesel exhibited improved ridge detail quality. Because hexane and heptane washing damage the ridge detail, it was found that fingerprints contaminated with gasoline, kerosene, and thinner were better enhanced directly without the washing process. In addition, it was found that the amount of the washing solvent and contact time should be minimized when washing fingerprints contaminated with diesel.

Purpose: An in vitro study was conducted to compare the lipid cleaning efficacy of care solutions on balafilcon A silicone hydrogel (SiHy) lens. Methods: Lipid spoilation was performed by incubating balafilcon A SiHy lenses in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) containing oleic acid, oleic acid methyl ester and cholesterol. Spoiled contact lenses rinsed with PBS were cleaned with surfactant cleaner, alcohol containing cleaner and multipurpose solution (MPS) respectively and repetitive spoilation and cleaning was conducted up to 14 times. To observe the cleaning effect of ultrasonic wave on the lipid deposit, each spoiled lens was ultrasonicated and then compared with non-sonicated lens. Lipids deposit on the contact lenses was extracted by methanol:chloroform (1:1, v/v) solution. High performance liquid chromatography was used to analyze and quantify lipid deposit extracts. Results: The effectiveness of alcohol containing surfactant cleaner on the lipid deposits was better than that of surfactant cleaner and MPS, and the cleaning efficacy was significantly higher in the ultrasonic wave treated group. Lipid deposits were not removed completely by contact lens care solutions so that lipid deposits increased continuously and cumulatively. Conclusions: The cleaning efficacy of contact lens care solutions was not satisfactory to remove lipid deposits on the SiHy lens that new cleaning products specially designed for SiHy lenses are needed to develop.

Peanut is a well-known food allergen that causes adverse reactions ranging from mild urticaria to life-threatening anaphylaxis. Consumers suffering from peanut allergies should thus avoid consuming undeclared peanuts in processed foods. Therefore, effective cleaning methods are needed to remove food allergens from manufacturing facilities. To address this, wet cleaning methods with washing water at different temperatures, abstergents (peracetic acid, sodium bicarbonate, dilute sodium hypochlorite, detergent), and cleaning tools (brush, sponge, paper towel, and cotton) were investigated to remove peanuts from materials used in food manufacture, including plastics, wood, glass, and stainless steel. Peanut butter was coated on the surface of the glass, wood, stainless steel, and plastic for 30 min and cleaned using wet cleaning. The peanut residue on the cleaned surfaces was swabbed and determined using an optimized enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Cleaning using a brush and hot water above 50℃ showed an effective reduction of peanut residue from the surface. However, removing peanuts from wooden surfaces was complicated. These results provide information for selecting appropriate materials in food manufacturing facilities and cleaning methods to remove food allergens. Additionally, the cleaning methods developed in this study can be applied to further research on removing other food allergens.

Alteration of physical and chemical characteristics and the effect of removal of mineral substances in waterlogged archaeological woods by different cleaning processes were examined using oak wood(Quercus spp.) that was excavated from wetland near Gwangju, Korea. Cleaning methods employed in the present work were (1) tools, (2) deaeration, (3) EDTA and (4) ultrasonic cleaning, which are being currently applied in the field of preservation treatment. Cleaning process were performed independently or continuously. Composition of mineral substances in the waterlogged archaeological wood was almost same as the that of soil in which waterlogged archaeological woods were buried. In case of independent cleaning, tools cleaning efficiently removed the mineral substances on surface. Surface color become brighter after cleaning with EDTA. In contrast, deaeration and ultrasonic cleaning did not show any significant removal of mineral substances. In continuous cleaning process, tool cleaning as the first step treatment showed the same effect as shown in independent cleaning. Although deaeration as the second step cleaning did not remove the mineral substances, it could be assumed to contribute the infiltration of dimensional agents by homogenization of wood. EDTA treatment (the third step cleaning) removed the iron(Fe) and increased the whiteness of wood color. The ultrasonic treatment (the fourth step cleaning) removed the sodium(Na) remained after EDTA treatment and the fine mineral substances.
