In this study, the characteristics of atrazine decompositon with photo-chemical oxidation process was investigated by the oxidation products analysis. The main products of the process were OIET(2-hydroxy-4-ethylamino-6-isopropylamino s-triazine), OIAT(2-hydroxy-4-amino-6-isopropylamino s-triazine) and OAAT(2-hydroxy-4,6-diamino-s-triazine), resulting i n dechlorination or hydroxylation as the main mechanism of the photo-chemical oxidation process. Through the material balance analysis of TOC and chloride ion in the aqueous solution, it was concluded that mineralization of the atrazine was not occurred but the dechlorination of atrazine had been completed.

Pesticides from diffuse pollution sources adsorbed in suspended particles flow into surface water and threats to the public health. In this research, dechlorination constants of Atrazine by zero valent iron were measured with addition of buffer solution for simulating buffer capacity of sediment. When initial concentration of Atrazine was 10, 30, and 50 mg/L, their dechlorination was explained using the pseudo-first order reaction. Dechlorination constants $K_{obs}$ were $3.21{\times}10^{-2}/d$ in average.

Sorption and desorption processes play an important role in the transport and fate of organic contaminants in subsurface system. In this study, sorption and desorption characteristics of atrazine in 7 soils selected at the Gwangju area were investigated. Soil organic carbon contents ranged from 0.42 to 2.82%. Sorption and desorption experiments were performed in batch slurries. Sorption distribution coefficient ($K_d$) of atrazine were ranged from 0.48 to 3.26 l/kg and $K_d$ value increased with increasing organic carbon contents except of Kyongbang and Youngdong soils. Single desorption data were analyzed by the three-site desorption model including equilibrium, non-equilibrium and non-desorbable site. Non-desorbable site fractions of atrazine in all soils were enumerated and non-desorbable atrazine was observed in seriesdilution desorption experiment. Sorption/desorption hysteresis was also observed in the series-dilution desorption experiment.

Residual pesticides discharged from diffuse sources at agricultural area in association with suspended solid will be settled at downstream, and may degrade surface water quality. This research studied dechlorination kinetic of atrazine, one of triazine-category herbicide, using zero-valent iron (ZVI) in sediment. It can be observed from the experiments that buffer capacity of sediment helped pH maintained beutral, resulted in continuous dechlorination. Sediments were spiked with atrazine at 10, 30, and 50 mg atrazine/L of total sediment for batch experiments. Dechlorination constants were $1.38x10^{-1}/d$ for the initial concentration of 10 mg/L, $1.29x10^{-l}/d$ for 30 mg/L, and $7.43x10^{-2}/d$ for 50 mg/L while dechlorination constants of initial concentration of 50 mg/L without ZVI adding were estimated as $3.05x10^{-2}/d. Half lifes atrazine by ZVI were estimated as 5.03 d fur 10 mg/L, 5.38 d for 30 mg/L, and 9.33 d for 50 mg/L, respectively.

비스페놀 A, 노닐페놀 및 아트라진의 농도에 따른 생존율을 조사한 결과 같은 농도인 경우 노닐페놀에 노출한 실험군에서 상대적으로 낮은 생존율을 보였고, 비스페놀 A와 노닐페놀을 혼합한 실험군에 홍삼을 첨가한 경우 생존율은 상대적으로 높게 나타남을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 홍삼이 내분비계 장애물질의 독성을 부분적으로나마 억제하는 효과가 있는 것으로 사료된다.

Anticholinergics, which are commonly given as a pre-anesthetic medication to prevent adverse effects in canine anesthesia, can cause cardiac adverse effects. To determine the effects of atropine and glycopyrrolate on the balance of sympathetic nervous tone and parasympathetic nervous tone of the heart during ketamine anesthesia in beagle dogs, heart rate variability(HRV), duration of anesthesia and behavioral changes were evaluated. There were no significant temporal domain differences between atropine and glycopyrrolate. Concerning the frequency domain component, atropine and glycopyrrolate effects were significantly lower(P<0.05) than the control saline-treated group. However, the root mean square of the interval differences between consecutive R peaks(RMSSD) and the standard deviation of Poincare plot perpendicular to the line-of-identity(SD1) in atropine were significantly decreased(P<0.05) from the baseline value, and the low frequency/high frequency ratio(LF:HF ratio) in glycopyrrolate was significantly increased from baseline value(P<0.05). The change of SD1 agreed with that of the high frequency(HF) in the frequency domain component and also with those of respiratory rate and $SpO_2-R$. Our results prove that glycopyrrolate is more suitable as a pre-anesthetic anticholinergic in ketamine anesthesia of dogs with respect to safety and duration of action.
