The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of organic slovents and noise on hearing loss. We selected organic solvents exposed group of 32 cases, noise exposed group of 31 cases, both noise and solvent exposed group of 31 cases, and control group of 53 cases and studied the relation between exposure level of noise and organic solvents and degree of hearing loss. The results were as follows. The subjects under investigation were exposed to noise and organic solvents under threshold limit values and the amount of urinary hippuric acid excretion were also under biological exposure indices. In case of noise, both noise and organic solvents exposed group and noise exposed group were more exposed than organic solvents exposed group(p<0.05). When urinary hippuric acid excretion were concerned, both noise iud organic solvents exposed group and organic solvents exposed group showed higher values than noise exposed group(p<0.05). In comparison of mean auditory threshold values by frequency, on the air conduction test, both noise and organic solvents exposed group showed significantly higher hearing loss than noise exposed group in 500Hz of right ear, 500 and 2000Hz of left ear(p<0.05). Forty-three cases among 147 subjects were regarded as hearing loss group and average age(42.6years) of hearing loss group was higher than normal groups average age of 38.0 years. Urinary hippuric acid excretions of hearing loss group were significantly higher than normal group(p<0.05). Thirty-eight percent(12cases) of noise exposed group, 40.6 $\%$(13cases) of organic solvents exposed group, 51.6 $\%$(16cases) of both noise and organic solvents exposed group, and 3.8 $\%$(2cases) of unexposed group were regarded as hearing losers. Exposed groups showed higher incidence of hearing loss than unexposed group but there were no significant differences among the exposed groups. The variables showing significant correlation with hearing loss were age and the amount of hippuric acid in urinary excretion. When age were adjusted for the purpose of seeing the effects of hearing losses due to organic solvent, urinary excretion of hippuric acids was the only variable with significant correlation with hearing loss (p<0.05). When odds ratio to hearing loss between control and exposed groups was considered, noise exposed group showed 6.1 times (95 $\%$ CI: 3.3-8.7), organic solvents exposed group showed 7.4 times (95 $\%$ CI: 3.5-14.6) and both noise and organic solvents exposed group showed 17.2 times(95% CI: 5.6-31.8) higher values than unexposed group(p<0.01). Above results suggest that health screening test of hearing loss is also needed in organic solvents exposed workers.

This study describes to analyze the characteristics for separation and recovery of both the dried particles and the purified solvent from the waste solvent through the vaporization process by the continuous and instantaneous vacuum drying system. The vacuum drying system for the waste solvents recovery consists of a feeding pump, a double pipe heat exchanger, a vacuum spray chamber, and a condenser. The vacuum drying system heats the waste solvent to the vapor in the double pipe heat exchanger and the expanded vapor is sprayed at the end of the tube. The vaporized solvent in the condenser are recovered. The particles in the waste solvent are separated and dried from the vapor in the vacuum spray chamber. Performance evaluation of the vacuum drying system was conducted using the mixture of the dried pigment particles and benzene or alkylbenzene as test samples. For the mixture of 10 wt% pigment particles an 90% benzene, the recovery efficiency of benzene was 88% with the purity of 99% and the recovery efficiency of dried particles was 94% with the moisture of 1.1 wt%. The size of pigment particles was decreased from $6.5\mu\textrm{m}$ to $5.6\mu\textrm{m}$ in diameter due to high speed spraying and dispersion in the vacuum drying system during drying process. Therefore, the vacuum drying system showed to be an effective method for separating particles and solvent in the waste solvent.

When we consolidate the iron artifacts, only we used VM&P Naphtha as solvent of paraloid NAD10. After consolidating the iron artifacts using paraloid NAD10, artifacts were too glossy to exhibit and see. We choose the solvent YK-VMP as solvent of paraloid NAD10 for complementing this defect and examined characterizations of paraloid NAD10 films in each solvent. As a result of evaluation by several surface analysis such as optical microscope, measuring film thickness, adhesive strength, gloss of surface, contact angle, yellowing test and EIS, it is possible to use YK-VMP instead of VM&P Naphtha as solvent of paraloid NAD10, because YK-VMP lowered surface gloss and did not change the effect of consolidation.

고분자 물질은 유기용제를 사용하여 제조되는 경우가 일반적이다. 이들 중에서 용제형 아크릴계 고분자는 점착강도, 내습성, 내수성 그리고 내열성 등이 우수하여 페인트, 접ㆍ점착제, 섬유 등의 산업전반에 이용되고 있으나 용제사용에 따른 화재의 위험성과 환경적인 문제점 때문에 규제의 대상이 되고 있다. 이러한 위험성과 환경문제점은 유화중합법에 의해 고분자물질을 제조함으로써 해결되며, 그 중에서 단계 유화중합법은 다른 중합법에 비해 온도조절이 용이하며, 반응속도와 분자량을 조절할 수 있다는 장점 때문에 latex 공업이나 고분자 blending 기술면에서 많이 이용되고 있는 실정이다.(중략)

Organic solvent를 원료로 한 액상 세척제는 가전제품, 컴퓨터용품, 전기기구 세척등의 민수 용품과 산업용 정밀 기계부품과 같은 대상물 세척 등에 사용되고 있다. 그러나 일반 유기용제를 주성분으로 한 유기용제형 세척제의 경우 장기 오염물질에 따른 세척력 저하, 공정상 VOC(Volatile Organic Compound)가 과도 발생할 뿐만 아니라 비생분해성, 높은 증기압, 화재 및 폭발 위험성, 냄새 성분 발생 등 안전 및 보건상 치명적인 결함이 있다.(중략)

브레이징(brazing) 이란 접합하고저 하는 모재간의 좁은 간격사이에 모재와는 재질이 다르고 용융점이 낮은 금속 또는 그들의 합금을 용융시켜서 복합재료를 만들어내는 일종의 수단이라고 볼 수 있다. 요즈음 전자분야 등의 여러 곳에서 구조용 재료로 쓰여지고 있는 특수재료나 이종 재료의 접합의 필요성이 증가하고 거기에 접합 수단으로 브레이징법이 응용되고 있다. 브레 이징은 모재, 땜납, 용제(flux)등의 3자로 구성이 되는데 브레이징에서 나타나는 현상은 매우 복 잡하다. 특히 브레이징 접하부의 작업환경은 접합결함과 직결되어 부식이라는 문제를 일으키게 된다. 본고에서는 브레이징 방법, 브레이징용 용제의 종류와 성분, 용제의 작용, 브레이징용 땜납의 현상 그리고 작업환경에 의한 브레이징부의 부식 등을 알아보기로 한다.

현재 많은 산업현장에서 휘발성 유기용제를 사용하고 있다. 국내 환경부에서 규제대상 VOC로 고시하고 있는 물질(환경부고시, '98. 7.1.)은 레이드 증기압, 광화학반응성, 물질사용량, 발암성 등 유해성을 감안하여 31개를 선정하여 규제하고 있으며 앞으로 규제대상 물질을 점차로 확대하여 나갈 계획으로 있다. 이에 한정된 자원의 고갈을 방지하고 환경의 보존을 위해 공정상에서 유기용제의 사용을 대체하는 것이 가장 이상적이나, 현재의 여건으로는 맡은 시간이 소요되므로 효율적인 휘발성 유기용제 처리공정 개발이 시급한 실정이다. (중략)
