본 연구에서는 내분비계장애물질로 잘 알려진 Bisphenol A와 Ethynyl estradiol(이하 BPA, EE)이 Chironomus riparius에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 수생생태계에서 Chironomus의 생태학적 중요성을 고려하여 연구한 반수치사농도(LC50),효소 활성, 성장/발달 등의 생화학적, 생리학적 독성에 대한 연구는 이들 물질에 대한 잠재적인 생태학적 중요성을 이해하는데 있어 유용한 정보를 제공할 수 있을 것이다. 연구 결과 BPA와 EE에 노출된 후 C. riparius게서 CAT와 GST활성이 증가하였고, EE에 고농도로 노출된 후 성충까지 충분히 성장하지 못했음을 확인하였다 이러한 결과로부터 C. riparius에서 BPA, EE에 대한 중요한 독성정보를 얻을 수 있었다. 그러므로 앞으로 BPA와 EE의 생화학적 효과와 C. riparitis의 개체수준 이상에서의 생리학적 실험을 통한 검증이 필요할 것이다.

We applied column experiments to investigate the environmental fate and transport of silver nanoparticles(AgNPs) in fully saturated conditions of porous media. These column experiments were performed to emphasize oxidation method with $H_2O_2$ concentration and acidic conditions. The mobility of AgNPs was decreased with the increasing ionic strength that the surface charge of AgNPs(zeta potential) was neutralized with the presence of positive ions of $Na^+$. Additionally, it was also affected due to that not only more increased aggregated size of AgNPs and surface charge of quartz sand. The decreased breakthrough curves(BTCs) of bisphenol-A(BPA) and $17{\alpha}$-ethynylestradiol(EE2) were removed approximately 35.3 and 40%. This is due to that endocrine disrupting chemicals(EDCs) were removed with the release of $OH{\cdot}$ radicals by the fenton-like mechanisms from acidic and fenton-like reagent presenting. This results considered that higher input AgNPs with acidic conditions is proved to realistic in-situ oxidation method. Overall, it should be emphasized that a set of column experiments employed with adjusting pH and $H_2O_2$ concentration in proved to be effective method having potential ability of in-situ degradation for removing organic contaminants such as BPA and EE2.
