The emission characteristics of odorous compounds discharged from the major environmental treatment facilities in Chungju were closely investigated by an ammonia passive sampler and by analyzing a questionnaire of the public complains. Amongst the four major emission sources, the manure treatment facility showed the highest concentration. The major components were sulfur compounds including H$_2$S, tri-methyl amine, and aldehydes. The foodwaste treatment processes releases sulfur compounds and aldehydes. Municipal waste water treatment facility emits a high concentration of acetaldehyde. It was found that the perceived odor level depends on the meteorological condition, and the odor intensity was higher at midnight than daytime.

Fe-PC와 Fe-TCPC를 합성하여 암모니아 탈착에 따른 촉매의 특성과 황화합물 및 아민류의 흡착실험을 수행하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1) FT-IR로 분석한 결과, Fe-TCPC는 Fe-PC에 비해 카르복실기의 특성 스펙트럼이 관찰되었고, SEM/EDS로 관찰한 결과 카르복실기의 영향으로 Fe의 비율이 낮고 산소의 량은 높게 나타났으므로 표면에 카르복실기가 존재하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 2) TPD 실험에서 철 프탈로시아닌 유도체는 두 개의 피크가 저온부와 고온부에서 나타나 약산점과 강산점이 존재하고 있음을 확인 할 수 있었으며, 탈착량은 Fe-TCPC가 Fe-PC보다 고온부에서 강산량점량이 많았고 저온부에서 약산점량은 적게 나타난 것으로 보아 Fe-TCPC가 표면에 카르복실기의 화학적흡착 영향으로 강산점에서 많은 탈착이 일어났음을 의미한다. 3) Fe-TCPC는 Fe-PC보다 비표면적과 세공부피가 많았고, 과산화수소의 분해효율이 높아 촉매적 성질이 우수하였으며, 또한 입자의 크기도 작았음을 확인하였다. 이는 모든 조건에서 Fe-TCPC가 Fe-PC보다 흡착능력이 우수한 것으로 예측된다. 4)카르복실기가 치환된 철 프탈로시아닌 유도체의 제거효율은 아민화합물이 우수하지만 황화합물에서 다소 낮게 나타났다. 이 결과로 보아 아민류에 효과가 있는 카르복실 철 프탈로시아닌을 착색제로 사용하면 탈취 기능을 가진 안료가 될 것으로 생각된다.

This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between systemic diseases and oral malodor. The author measured the volatile sulfur compound(VSC) of the patients who visited Pusan National University Health Promote Center for a comprehensive medical testing. The patients were examined gingival bleeding on probing, CPI index, tongue coating. Their systemic diseases were diagnosed by the specialist. 182 patients consisted of 112 males and 70 females. In this study, Oral $Chroma^{(R)}$ was used to measure oral malodor. This equipment could measure the concentration of intraoral VSC (hydrogen sulfide, methyl mercaptan, dimethyl disulfide). All data were analylized using Statistical Package for the Social Science $12.0^{(R)}$. The result of this study was the followings. 1. There was significant difference of numbers of patient who visited health care center according to the VSC concentration level and the Community Periodontal Index, bleeding on probing, tongue coating. 2. The subjects with hyperlipidemia showed the high level of $CH_3SH$ concentration (p=0.036). The concentration of $H_2S$ tends to be high in the group with abnormal findings on pulmonary fuction test(p=0.086). The concentration of $CH_3SH$ in the groups with abnormal findings on lipid profile test(p=0.130) and bone mineral density test(p=0.099) and abdominal ultrasonograpy(p=0.088) tends to be higher than the other group. 3. The concentration of $(CH_3)_2S$ in the group with abnormal findings on blood pressure test(p=0.113), hepatitis B virus serology(p=0.069), Abdominal ultrasonograpy(p=0.091) tend to be higher than the other group.

In this study, the filtering characteristics of sulfur gases were investigated from a number of respects. For the purpose of this study, a standard gas containing a single oxidized S ($SO_2$) and five reduced S compounds (RSCs) including $H_2S$, $CH_3SH$, DMS, $CS_2$, and DMDS was prepared. After flowing this standard gas through a glass fiber filter, its removal efficiencies were examined by comparing the concentrations between prior to and after its passage. The results indicated that almost complete removal of $SO_2$ was achieved by this filtering, while the patterns for RSCs were distinguished by such factors as molecular weight or reactivity. It was found that about 60% of the most reactive RSC, $H_2S$ was removed by filter, while the heavy RSC generally showed removal rate of about 5% or less.

The aim of this study is to clinically evaluate the effect of a mouthwash containing cetylpyridinium and zinc chloride on reduction of morning oral malodor in healthy subjects measured by organoleptic measurement and a portable sulfide monitor. A total of 8 healthy non-smoking male volunteers were enrolled in this study of crossover design consisting of two experimental phases. The subjects were instructed to rinse the mouth with 10 mL of the experimental mouthwash containing cetylpyridinium and zinc chloride for 30 seconds at the first phase. At the second phase after a one-week washout period, each subject rinsed with distilled water as a control. All experiments were conducted at around 8:30 a.m. and oral malodor was measured using organoleptic measurement and a portable sulfide monitor just before rinsing with the experimental mouthwash or control (baseline), 1 hr, 2 hrs, and 3 hrs after rinsing. The mouthwash containing cetylpyridinium and zinc chloride reduced morning oral malodor up to 3 hrs after rinsing. Organoleptic score and concentrations of volatile sulfur compounds after use of the experimental mouthwash significantly decreased with time, and the decreases were significantly different between the mouthwash and control. In conclusion, the mouthwash containing cetylpyridinium and zinc chloride is significantly effective on reduction of morning oral malodor in healthy subjects by 3 hrs.

To collect or transfer samples of gaseous pollutants, various types of tubing are used. Hence, to analyze the uncertainties associated with the use of tubings, a series of comparative test were designed and conducted using the RSC standards with different concentration ranges. For the purpose of this study, we prepared tubings made of six different types of material which include: [1] silco-steel (S1), [2] stainless steel (S2), [3] silicone (S3), [4] PTFE Teflon (T1), [5] tygon (T2), and [6] brass (B). The patterns of RSC loss on to tubing walls, when compared on the basis of the least reactive material S1, exhibited that the extent of RSC loss varied dynamically. It was found that Teflon is highly stable. However, other materials tend to exhibit contrasting patterns of loss. S2 and B show significant loss of light RSC $(H_2S\;and\;CH_3SH)$, while S3 and T2 experience notable loss of heavy RSC (DMS and DMDS).

Garlic oleoresins were made by extracting with four solvents of methanol, methyl acetate hexane and acetone from chopped garlic, respectively, and the volatile compounds of each extract were separated by gas chromatography installed with polar (supelcowax-10$^{TM}$) and nonpolar (HP-5) capillary columns, respectively, and identified by matching mass data of mass selective detector and Kovat\`s retention index with references. The numbers of the volatile compounds identified the garlic oleoresin by polar and nonpolar columns from in garlic oleoresins were 41 and 32, respectively. In polar column, 13 pyrans, 11 sulfur-containing compounds 6 furans 2 alcohols and 2 heterocyclic compounds were identified. In nonpolar column, 11 sulfur-containing compounds 5 acids 3 furans and eugenol were identified. The major sulfur-containing compounds identified from the oleoresins were 3, 3'-thiobis-1-propene, methyl 2-propenyl disulfide, dimethyl trisulfide, di-2-prnpenyl-trisulfide, 2-thiophenecarboxylic acid. The amount of these sulfur-containing compounds isolated from the oleresins were more abundant in polar column than in nonpolar column. The most efficient solvent for extracting volatile compounds of garlic was methanol but the most useful solvent for extracting sulfur-containing compounds was methyl acetate of less polarity.y.

This study used 3 kinds of experimental toothpaste with different contents(0%, 1.1%,2.2% of SLS. A total of 150 young adults in their 20's without any systemic disease were recruited for the study. These 150 subjects were subdivided into three groups(each having 50 subjects) according to the results of preliminary oral examination.After 4 weeks application of the three groups of toothpaste, Group C showed the highest halitosis index, followed by Groups A and B which had similar halitosis indices. Both oral sulfur compound and aerobic sulfur compound were measured at high content possibly because higher SLS content which is associated with the lower salivary flow rate is causing the xerostomia. SLS content was correlated with oral sulfur compound (r=0.412) and aerobic sulfur compound (r=0.285).

This study investigates the odor from combined sewer in urban areas and major odor-causing facilities. Monitorings are conducted in specific areas that have representative characteristics. In combined sewer in urban areas, the real-time monitorings on sulfur, complex odor and specified odor are conducted. And in major odor-causing facilities, the real-time monitorings on complex odor, specified odor are conducted. Odor from combined sewer in urban area is affected by the changes on floating population and the effluent of the septic tank. Also major odor-causing facilities are largely affected by the effluent of the septic tank. The major odor-causing substances are found to be hydrogen sulfide($H_2S$) and methyl mercaptan. To reduce the odor from combined sewer, improvement of effluent from the septic tank and reduction of sulfur compounds have to be done.
