최근 상압 저온 플라즈마에서 발생되는 UV와 화학적 활성종들을 이용한 체내 조직 분해 처리, 피부 및 혈관 표면 처리, 대기 및 액체 정화 처리 등의 생체 의료적 응용이 활발하게 연구되고 있다. 이러한 플라즈마에서는 처리 대상 외의 생체 조직의 손상을 최소화 할 수 있는 기술이 필요하며, 이 조건이 확보된 상태에서 처리 목표 대상에 따른 플라즈마 특성, 즉 선택적 생성종 제어와 플라즈마 온도를 안정적으로 관리할 수 있어야 한다. 인체 내부 조직에 대하여 유효 활성종 등의 직접적인 작용이 필요할 경우 밀리미터 크기 이하의 미세침습성 플라즈마를 활용하게 된다. 이 경우 방전 특성을 간접적으로만 관측 가능하여 주변 조직과 플라즈마 간의 상호 영향 등이 고려되어야 하므로 직접적인 관측이 가능한 인체 외부에서 발생된 플라즈마에 비해서 더욱 정교한 제어가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 미세 침습성 플라즈마의 발생 메커니즘 및 특성 분석을 수행하여 척추 디스크 탈출 치료 시술에 활용하기 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 처리 대상 조직으로의 접근 시 주변 조직의 손상을 막기 위하여 수 밀리미터 이하의 미세한 전극을 이용하였으며 전기 전도성을 띄는 인체 내부에서 절연공간의 확보를 위해 전극 표면에서 기포를 발생시켜 플라즈마 방전이 가능한 조건을 확보하였다. 또한 플라즈마 방전이 중단되거나 혹은 갑작스런 열 플라즈마로의 천이로 인해 생체에 심각한 열 손상을 초래하는 현상을 방지하기 위하여 발생 플라즈마와 주변 디스크간의 상호 영향을 통한 플라즈마의 동적인 특성 변화 및 안정적인 플라즈마 발생을 위한 조건을 도출하였다. 이를 실제 임상 실험에 활용한 결과를 소개하고 아울러 차세대 의료용 플라즈마 발생 장치 개발을 위한 플라즈마 학계의 관심을 이끌어 보고자 한다.

In this paper, a repeater antenna operating at MICS and ISM bands is proposed and the antenna performance including the human body effect is investigated. The proposed antenna is composed of a ZOR(Zeroth Order Resonator) and a loop antenna. A loop antenna is operated at ISM band and a loop antenna capacitively coupled with a ZOR acts as an antenna for MICS band. Simulation was carried out in order to analyze the effects of human body on antenna performance when a human body is located in the near field of an antenna. According to the simulated and measured results, the proposed antenna has -10 dB $S_{11}$ bandwidth wide enough to cover both MICS and ISM bands. The measured peak gains are -28.53 dBi and 3.85 dBi at MICS and ISM band, respectively. The dual band and radiation properties of the proposed antenna are well suited for the WBAN repeater system.

In this paper, human exposure of wireless devices was analyzed for various positions of the transmitter. The scenario for the position of the transmitting antenna was decided after discussion with ADD(Agency for Defense Development), and Korean male phantom model developed by ETRI were used to conduct simulations. The SAR values were analyzed by changing the position of the transmitter, and compared with Korean EMF regulations and ICNIRP guidelines. Additionally, human exposure was also investigated for two typical postures which can be posed by war-fighter.

General information is summarized, that is necessary to introduce a scientific assessment of the human health and exposure issue concerning dioxin and dioxin-like compound. Scientific literatures were reviewed to assess the background exposures to the dioxin-like compounds for normal residents. Epidemiologic studies were also reviewed to assess malignant and nonmalignant sweets of dioxins. In 1997, the International Agency for Research on Cancer classified 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) as a human carcinogen, primarily based on occupational cohort studies. The US Environmental Protection Agency made the same decision in it's Draft Dioxin Reassessment. Epidemiologic evidences point to a generalized excess of all cancers, without any pronounced excess at specific sites. Reported non-cancer effects included a range of conditions affecting most systems. Among them, chloracne, elevation in gamma glutamyl transferase(GGT), and alterations in reproductive hormones are related to TCDO, Other adverse outcomes, such as lipid concentrations, diabetes, circulatory and heart diseases, immunologic disorders, neurobehavioral effects, and developmental outcomes require further study before their respective relationships to TCDD can be more definitively assessed.

In this study, the concentration and distribution characteristics of BTEX (benzene toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene) emitted from Daesan Petrochemical Industrial Complex were examined to determine their potential hazards to local residents. Residents living nearby the complex areas may be exposed to the chemicals through various media (air, water, and soil), especially by air. This study evaluated human health risks by inhalation using both deterministic and probabilistic risk assessment approaches. As a result of the deterministic risk assessment, the non-cancer risk was much lower than the regulation limit of hazard index (HI 1.0) for all the points. However, in case of cancer risk evaluation, it was found that the risk of excess cancer for benzene at point A located in the industrial complex was 2.28×10^-6, which slightly exceeded the standard regulatory limit of 1.0×10^-6. In addition, the probabilistic risk assessment revealed that the percentile exceeding the standard of 1.0×10^-6was found to be 45.3%. The sensitivity analysis showed that exposure time (ET) had the greatest impact on the results. Based on the risk assessment study, it implied that ethylbenzene, toluene, and xylene had little adverse effects on potential human exposure, but benzene often exceeded the cancer risk standard (1.0×10^-6). Further studies on extensive VOCs monitoring are needed to evaluate the potential risks of industrial complex areas.
