The antioxidative effect of tea extracts from green tea, oolong tea and black tea was investigated. The extraction yields of crude catechin were green tea 5.4%, oolong tea 3.5%, and black tea 2.5%. Green tea, oolong tea and black tea of crude catechin showed antioxident activity at concentrations of 200ppm, and the oolong tea showed highest antioxidant effect. The browning intensities(at 420 nm) of green, oolong and black tea were 0.140, 0.582 and 0.915, respectively and green tea showed highest hydrogen donating ability(HDA) and than followed by oolong or black tea. Also, when the crude catechin(100 ppm) was used in combination with ${\alpha}$-tocopherol(50 ppm) and ascorbyl palmitate(50 ppm), the crude cathechin showed very strong synergistic effect, comparable to that of crude catechin(200 ppm).

This research was performed to test the effects of oleic acid for the management of greenhouse whiteflies and tobacco whiteflies. Tobacco whiteflies, especially, are the vectors of tomato yellow leaf curl virus on tomato plants. Whiteflies are not only the vectors of various viruses but also the major insect pests that cause direct damages through sucking and induce sooty mold with their sweet dew on tomato plants. There are many eco-friendly management measures including the use of yellow sticky trap and natural enemies such as Eretmocerus eremicus and Amblyseius swirskii. However, these management measures have difficulties to implement in the greenhouse. Therefore, in this research, oleic acid was tested for its effect on the management of whiteflies at various concentrations of 1,000ppm, 2,000ppm, or 4,000ppm. As a result, treatments of 1,000ppm, 2,000ppm and 4,000ppm oleic acid showed the control value of 70%, 76% and 84%, respectively. In another test, treatments of 2,000ppm oleic acid, and control treatment of 1,5000ppm neem oil and 50ppm dinotefuran showed the control value of 82%, 75%, and 75%, respectively. Cost for one application of oleic acid and neem oil for 10a area would be 3,180 Won and 20,150 Won, respectively. As a result, it was assumed that the use of oleic acid would be a appropriate management measure.

The contents of Pb and CD measured with the barks of Pinus densiflora in Seoul area, Yangjaedong area near the Kyungbu-highway, Mt. Keryong and Mt. Seolak area, from Sep. to Ock. in 1988. Pb contents in Seoul area were 17.8 ppm at Changkyungkung, 17.1 ppm at Chongamdong, 13.2 ppm at Mt. Kwanak, 7.6 ppm at Mt. Dobong and 3.7 ppm at Mt. Surak. Except Mt. Kwanak, the difference between areas of central and mountains in Seoul were high significant. Mt Seolak area also showed variations in Pb contents from 16.8 ppm to 32.1 ppm according to studied sites. Cd contents in Seoul area were 0.47 ppm at Changkyungkung, 0.65 ppm at Chongamdong, 0.61 ppm at Mt. Kwanak, 0.52 ppm at Mt. Dobong, 0.47 ppm at Mt. Surak. Therefore, Cd contents in Seoul area exhibited more variations between sampling plots than between the areas of central and mountains in Seoul.

A survey of pesticide and copper residues of the citrus orchard soil was conducted during October 1979-June 1980 in Jeju, Seogwipo county. The citrus orchards were classified into five groups according to different cultivated period; 5 year orchard, 10 year orchard, 15 year orchard, 20 year orchard, and 30 year orchard. Each of the above samples was divided again to three layers of soil depth; the surface layer$(0{\sim}10cm)$, the middle layer $(10{\sim}20cm)$, and the bottom layer $(20{\sim}40cm)$. In this experiments, Kelthane and Akar, as well as copper residues were detected in all soil samples. Residue levels of above chemicals were increased in soils of orchard with longer cultivation periods, and at the same time, decreased with soil depth. The residues of those ranged as follows; a) from trace to 1.359ppm in Kelthane, b) from trace to 0.925ppm in Akar, and c) from trace to 40.734ppm in copper. It is noted that the average residues of Kelthane was 0.251ppm, Akar, 0.120ppm, and that of copper was 2.168ppm, respectively.

Acute toxicity of formalin (37% formaldehyde) was conducted to determine the median lethal concentration (LC50) on eel (avarage weight 96 ± 3.6 g, average total length 43 cm), Anguilla japonica at concentrations ranging from 0 to 500 ppm. In particular, this study was designed to estimate the safety concentrations of formalin in testing eels to eradicate Pseudodactylogyrus. All fish died after 10 hours and 24 hours at 500 ppm and 400 ppm, respectively. After 24 hours, cumulative mortality was 96.6% and 13.3% at 300 ppm and 200 ppm formalin, respectively. However, all experimental fish were alive after 24 hours at 100 ppm. The lethal concentration values were computed by using non-linear least square method. At the start of the test, water temperature, pH and dissolved oxygen level were 27～28℃, 7.4 and 5.55 ppm, respectively. The 24 hr-LC50 were 269 ppm.

The purpose of this study is the identification of (N-2-hydroxy-3-butenyl) valine(HBVal adduct) and (N-2,3,4-trihydroxy-butyl)valine(THBVal adduct)with mice inhalation exposure with 1,3-butadiene for 3 weeks($6\;hr/day\;{\times}\;5\;days/week$). Body weights were significantly lower from 4 or 9 exposure post-day in 1000 or 500ppm inhalation group than in control. The levels of HBVal adducts are 1.8, 3.7 and 6.2 pmol/mg globin in $1^{st}$, $2^{nd}$ , and $3^{rd}$ week for 500 ppm 1,3-butadiene(BD), and 5.7, 7.4 and 16.0 pmol/mg globin in $1^{st}$, $2^{nd}$ , and $3^{rd}$ week for 1000 ppm BD inhalation exposure. The levels of THBVal adducts are 32.0, 42.0 and 55.0 pmol/mg globin in $1^{st}$, $2^{nd}$ , and $3^{rd}$ week for 500 ppm BD, and 67.8, 72.7 and 83.5 pmol/mg globin in $1^{st}$, $2^{nd}$ , and $3^{rd}$ week for 1000 ppm BD inhalation exposure. Their ratios of THBVal and HBVal adducts are higher at earlier exposure and lower concentration. They are17.8, 11.4 and 8.87 in $1^{st}$, $2^{nd}$ , and $3^{rd}$ week for 500 ppm BD, and 11.9, 9.8 and 5.2 in $1^{st}$, $2^{nd}$ , and $3^{rd}$ week for 1000 ppm BD inhalation exposure. In conclusion, THBVal and HBVal adducts are a important hemoglobin adduct for monitoring of BD exposure, and the latter is more biomarker than the other.
