The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of diffusive(or passive) sampler in measuring airbone organic solvents. Diffusive samplers are generally simple in construction and do not require power for operation. The efficiency of the diffusive samplers has not sufficiently been investigated in Korea. Three types of samplers were studied in this study. The sampling and analytical results by passive samplers were compared with results by charcoal tube method recommended by NIOSH(National Institute for Occupational Safty and Health). The following characteristics are identified and studied as critical to the performance passive monitors; recovery, reverse diffusion, storage stability, accuracy and precision, face velocity and humidity, n-Hexane, TCE(trichloroethylene) and toluene were used as test vapors. A dynamic vapor exposure system consisting of organic vapor generator and sampling chamber for evaluating diffusive samplers are made. The results of the study are summarized as follows. 1. NIOSH recommands that the overall accuracy of a sampling method in the range of 0.5 to 2.0 times the occupational health standard should be ${\pm}25$ percent for 95 percent confidence level. Among three types of diffusive samplers, sampler A has permeation membrane and samplers Band C have diffusive areas, samplers A and B met the criterion that overall accuracy for 95% confidence level of the samplers were within ${\pm}25$ percent of the reference value. Sampler C had overall accuracy ${\pm}9.6%$ and ${\pm}11.8%$ in hexane and TCE, respectively. The concentration of toluene was overestimated in sampler C with overall accuracy of ${\pm}43.9%$. 2. The desorption efficiencies of diffusive samplers were 96-107%. 3. There was no significant sampe loss during four weeks of storage both with and without refrigeration. 4. There was no significant reverse diffusion, when the samplers were exposure to clean air for 2 hours after sampling for 2 hours at the level of 2 TLY. 5. In case of 8 hours sampling, relative differences(RD) of concentrations between charcoal tube method and diffusive method were 15-39%, 13-46%, and 4-35% for sampler A, B and C, respectively. The performance was poor in 8 hours sampling for multiple substance monitors. 6. At high velocity(100 cm/sec), samplers B and C overestimated the concentrations of organic vapors, and sampler A with permeation membrance gave better results. 7. At 80% relative humidity, samplers showed no siginificant effect. Low humidity also did not affect the diffusive samplers.

Toluene, n-hexane, and methyl ethyl ketone(MEK) were exposed to the activated carbon fiber(ACF) and 3M(Model 3500) diffusive samplers under low and high humidity levels. In order to evaluate these two samplers, the sampling capacity, sampling rate, reverse diffusion, and storage stability were obtained. At low humidity level($8{\pm}3%RH$), the adsorption amount of all three organic vapors to the ACF diffusive sampler showed a positive linear relationship up to 8 hours. However, at high humidity level($90{\pm}5%RH$), n-hexane and MEK maintained a positive linear relationship up to 1.5 hrs, but decreased in their adsorption amounts afterwards. On the other hand, the adsorption amount of n-hexane, MEK, and toluene to 3M diffusive sampler showed almost a positive linear relationship up to 8 hours at both humidity levels. At low humidity level, there was almost no reverse diffusion for both 3M and ACF diffusive samplers. However, when the ACF diffusive sampler was used at high humidity level, there was about 52.63% of MEK sample loss and about 92.59% of n-hexane sample loss. The storage stabilities of the ACF and 3M diffusive samplers were both relative stable except for MEK. In the case of MEK, the difference between the analysis of the organic vapor right after the sampling and that of 3 weeks later at room temperature was 45% for the ACF diffusive sampler and 18% for the 3M diffusive sampler. Since the storage stability of the samples stored in a refrigerator was relatively stable, they need to be refrigerated until the analysis is done.

This study was to evaluate the efficiency of diffusive monitor using activated carbon fiber(ACF, KF-1500) in measuring airborne organic solvents. The following characteristics were identified and studied as critical to the performance of diffusive monitor; recovery, sampling rate, face velocity, reverse diffusion and storage stability. For the evaluation of the performance of this monitor, MIBK, PCE, toluene were used as organic solvents. In the sampling rate experiments, eight kinds of solvents (n-hexane, MEK, DIBK, MCF, TCE, CB, xylene, cumene) as well as the above solvents were used. The results were as follows: 1. The desorption efficiencies(DE's) of ACF diffusive monitor ranged from 83 % to 101 %. In contrast, those of coconut shell charcoal ranged from 78 % to 102 %. Especially, the DE's of ACF for the polar solvents such as MEK were superior to those of charcoal. 2. Experimental sampling rates on ACF were average 42ml/min(37-46ml/min) for 11 organic solvents at $24{\pm}2^{\circ}C$, $50{\pm}5%RH$. However ideal sampling rates(DA/L) were 33 % higher than experimental sampling rates. 3. The initial response(15~16 min) of the testing monitor was 2 times higher than the actual concentration determined by the reference methods at $24{\pm}2^{\circ}C$, $8{\pm}5%RH$ and $80{\pm}5%RH$. Within 1 hours, the curve reached a linear horizontal line at low humidity condition. But sampling efficiencies decreased with respect to time at high humidity condition. And sampling efficiencies were higher at high humidity condition than low humidity condition for MIBK. 4. At very low velocity (less than 0.02 m/sec), the concentration of ACF diffusive monitor were poorly estimated. But ACF diffusive monitor were not affected at higher velocity(0.2 m/sec-0.6 m/sec). 5. There was no significant reverse diffusion when the ACF monitors were exposed to clean air for 2 hours after being exposed for 2 hours at the level of 1 TLV. 6. There was no significant sample loss during 3 weeks of storage at room temperature and 5 weeks of storage at refrigeration.

The levels of urea nitrogen both in blood (BUN) and milk (MUN), and milk protein (MP) reflect protein and energy intake in dairy herd feeding. Blood and milk constituents may be changes rhythmically and influence by different sampling time within a day and after feeding. Trials were conducted using five dietary treatments in both lactating and dry cows to study the effects of sampling time on concentrations of BUN, MUN and whole blood ammonia nitrogen (BAN) in practical dairy cow feeding in Taiwan. The conventional feed ingredients and forages including corn silage, alfalfa hay, timothy or pangola hay and corn grain were used as major source of the diet to follow practical dairy cow feeding. Five different diets were varying in amounts (low=L; standard=S; high=H) of crude protein (P) and energy (E) according to the NRC (1989). The energy to protein ratios in kcal/kg for the PSES, PLES, PHES, PSEH and PSEL were 10.82, 12.54, 9.41, 12.53 and 9.13 in lactating cows, and 11.38, 13.33, 9.78, 13.28 and 9.74 in dry cows, respectively. Results showed that after feeding at 9:30, BUN reached peak at 13:30 and was significantly higher than those to that sampled at 14:30 to 18:30 (p<0.05) in dry cows. Therefore the best blood sampling time for urea nitrogen assay in dry cows is 4 hours after morning feeding. In lactating cows, BUN of 13:30 was significantly higher than those of 8:30 to 11:30 (p<0.05), but there were no significant difference between the BUN values of other sampling time. Hence the suitable blood sampling time for BUN value in lactating cows was located on 3 to 8 hours after morning feeding, but the best time was 4 hours after morning feeding. MUN content is significantly higher in the afternoon collected bulk milk than the fore-strip morning milk (p<0.05), therefore the best sampling time for MUN is from afternoon collected bulk milk. Diurnal BAN changed without traceable rhythmic pattern and was negatively correlated to the BUN (r = -0.78). It is suggested that BAN may not be a good indicator for monitoring dairy cow feeding.

These studies were conducted to: a) investigate work patterns and productivity indices, b) rate performance levels of employees and c) determine the suggested levels of personnel and labor hours for the effective labor control in school foodservice. Eighteen elementary school foodservices in Seoul were selected in order to analyze work patterns by the work sampling methodology. Allowance time and performance rating by VTR observation was done to determine the standardized labor hours. The results were as follows. The average percentage of each work function of the total work functions such as direct work function, indirect work function and delay were 65.57%, 8.12%, 26.31% respectively. The productivity index is 0.92 min/meal. The average working and delay hours per week of the foodservice director, foodservice employees and supply person were 33.64 hours, 23.25 hours, 38.52 hours respectively. The percentage of delay hours of total labor hours for foodservice employees and supply person were 42.27% and 24.0%. The standardized work hours and the appropriate levels of foodservice employees of 17 elementary school foodservices were examined: The average rating of the foodservice employees work was 1.19 and British Insulated Calendarer Cables (BICC) allowance rate was 19.40% on the average. The total work hours of foodservice employees were 172.64 hours per week and levels of personnel were 4.53 persons. BICC allowance rate was applied: The standardized work hours per week was 180.95 hours and appropriate levels of personnel were 4.11 persons based on legal 44 working hours.

Modified river die-away 법으로 1998년 6월 17일부터 7월 22일 까지 낙동강(A)과 금호강(B)에서 채수한 강물로 BPMC와 chlorothalonii의 생분해 시험을 한 결과는 다음곽 kx다. BPMC의 경우 A지점의 실험군에서는 배양 7일 경과후 27%의 생분해를 나타냈으며 B지점의 실험군에서는 배양 7일 경과 후 40%의 생분해를 나타냈다. 생분해 속도상수와 반감기는 A지점에서 0.0460 및 15.1일 이었고, B지점에서 0.0749 및 9.3일로 조사되었다. Cholorothalonii의 경우 A지점의 실험군과 B지점의 실험군에서 배양 24시간 경과 후 모두 100%의 빠른 생분해를 나타내었다. 생분해속도상수와 반감기는 A지점에서 0.1416 및 4.9시간이었고, B지점에서 0.1803 및 3.8시간으로 조사되었다. Chlorothalonil이 BPMC보다 생분해속도가 빨랐으며, 수질오염이 심한 지역일수록 생분해율이 높은 것은 두 지점의 수질오염 및 종속영양세균수의 차이가 영향을 미치는 것으로 추정된다. 두 가지 농약의 생분해속도와 실험수의 DO, BOD, SS, ABS, $NH_3-N$와의 상관성을 구한 결과 각각 5% 유의수준에서 PMC의 경우 BOD, SS 및 $NH_3-N$이었고 chlorothalnil의 경우 SS, BOD 및 $NH_3-N$를 독립변수로, 생분해속도를 종속변수로 회귀분석을 실시한 결과는 5% 유의수준에서 각각의 농약에 대해 유의한 회귀식을 구할 수 있었다. BPMC는 실제 환경 중에서 생분해에 의한 영향을 더 받을 것으로 생각되며 chlorothalonil은 주요한 분해경로가 생분해인 것을 알 수 있었다.

품질관리를 위한 샘플링검사 방식은 산업계에서 많이 제안되어왔다. 하지만 시간을 염두에 둔 품질인 신뢰성에 대한 샘플링검사 방식은 상대적으로 덜 제시되었으며, 일목요연하게 요약한 문헌도 그리 많지 않은 편이다. 이에 여기에서는 신뢰성 시험 중 대상 제품의 신뢰성 평가척도값이 목표로 하는 값을 만족하는지 확인하기 위한 신뢰성 적합시험의 설계에 대하여 설명한다. 이를 위해 먼저 소비자와 생산자가 모두 만족할 수 있는 조건은 무엇인지 OC곡선의 측면에서 살펴보면서 원하는 수준의 생산자위험과 소비지위험을 만족하는 샘플링검사가 무엇인지 알아본다. 이어서 신뢰성 샘플링검사 방식은 계수형과 계량형의 두 가지 방식이 있으므로 이들에 대해 살펴본다. 구체적으로 계수형 신뢰성 샘플링검사 방식은 대상 제품 중 n개의 시험품을 샘플링하여 일정 기간인 T시간 동안 시험하여 고장발생수가 c개 이하이면 합격시키는 형태이고, 계량형 신뢰성 샘플링검사 방식은 n개의 시험품을 미리 정한 기준의 시험시간 동안 시험하여 얻어진 시험 데이터를 이용하여 MTBF와 같은 신뢰성 평가척도값을 계산한 후 이 값이 일정 기준을 만족하면 합격시키는 형태이다. 계수형이든 계량형 신뢰성 샘플링검사이든 검사표를 이용할 수도 있다.

A new type of passive samplers were designed and produced by authors. After evaluating the quality of activated carbon by measuring recovery rate of organic vapors and steadiness of sampling rate, activated carbon with 30 - 35 mesh produced by Company S in Korea was selected. In each passive sampler, an amount of 400 mg of the activated carbon was filled in 25-mm cassette and covered by fixed screen (or wire screen with 100 mesh). In addition to the fixed screen, a wind screen (or wire screen with 300 mesh) was also attached at outer face. The sampling rate of the new Korean passive samplers was estimated Conclusions obtained in the study are as follows. 1. Sampling rates of the newly developed Korean passive samplers were affected by sampling time. For n-hexane, sampling rates of 15- and 60-minute samples were 70.92 and 37.45 ml/min, respectively. Sampling rate of both 200- and 450-minute samples was 25.96 ml/min. It is concluded that, when passive samplers are used for measuring organic vapors, samples be collected longer than 60 minutes. 2. Sampling rate of the passive samplers was also affected by airborne concentration of organic vapors. Lower sampling rates were determined at level of 1/2 threshold limit values (TLVs) recommended by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH). It is recommended that sampling rate of the passive samplers be obtained at site by measuring concentrations using both the NIOSH Method and passive samplers simultaneously. 3. When the passive samplers, which collected organic vapors, were exposed to clean air for five hours, there was no significant loss of organic vapors due to reverse diffusion. 4. When samples were stored at room temperature ($21.8{\pm}0.7^{\circ}C$) and refrigerator ($3.8{\pm}0.7^{\circ}C$), there was no significant difference in the accuracy of results. For trichloroethylene and n-hexane, accuracies were within 25 % at both temperatures until seven days. However, poor accuracy exceeding 25 % was indicated in toluene from the first day. It is recommended that samples be stored at freezing temperature below $0^{\circ}C$. 5. Sampling efficiency was significantly affected by direction of the passive samplers. Results of samplers facing wind and down, respectively, were compared. Lower amount of organic vapors were collected when the sampler was oriented down. It is recommended that, when air velocity is low in plants, the passive samplers be oriented to the wind. However, when air velocity is high, the passive samplers be oriented down.

논포장에서 배출되는 메탄가스를 측정하기 위하여 간이폐쇄정태 chamber법을 이용하여 대표적인 시료를 채취할 수 있도록 chamber내 시료채취 높이, 시료채취시 시간간격, 하루중 시료 채취시간을 검토하였다. 1. 대표적인 시료채취를 위한 chamber내 높이는 65cm이었고 chamber 하반부에서 시료가 균일하게 섞이도록 DC fan을 추가로 설치할 필요성이 인정되었다. 2. 시간경과에 따른 chamber내 메탄농도의 변화 및 기온의 변화에서 보면 시료채취를 개시하여 30분이내에 시료를 채취하는 것이 바람직하였다. DC fan으로 chamber내부의 공기가 섞이도록 하는 것은 대표적인 시료를 얻기 위한 것 뿐 아니라 chamber내열평형을 이루어 시료(試料) 채취기간중(採取期間中) 식물(植物)의 생리적(生理的) 활성(活性)에 최소한(最小限)의 변화를 주는 방법으로 판단되었다. 3. 하루중 대표적인 메탄 배출량을 나타내는 오전 9시~12시에 시료를 채취하여 분석하되 부득이한 경우에는 또 하나의 평균적인 배출량을 나타내는 오후 6시~8시의 시료를 채취하여 분석하여도 가능할 것으로 판단되었다. 4. 수도주간(水稻株間)진 토양(土壤)에서 메탄 배출을 측정하는데 사용하는 소형의 chamber는 토양을 교란할 수 있으므로 설치한 후 최소한 6시간이 경과되어야 chamber내 메탄농도가 주위의 메탄 농도로 회복되었다.

동물플랑크톤 시료의 변이 정도를 조사하기 위하여, 충남 연안역에서 서로 약 4km 떨어진 두 정점을 정하고, 각 정점에서 썰물에서 밀물까지의 주간 6시간 동안 NORPAC형 네트(직경 76cm, 망목 0.333mm)를 사용하여 매 시간마다 혹은 두 시간마다 동물플랑크톤을 채집하였으며, 매 채집시 3회씩의 반복 채집이 실시되었다. 동물플랑크톤의 주기적 수직이동에 의한 자료변이를 극소화하기 위하여 네트는 저층에서 표층까지 수직 인양되었다. 시료 채집일은 1989년 4월 5일과 6일이었다. 다섯 개 우점 분류군의 개체수 분포에 있어, 두 정점간 차이는 크게 두드러지지 않았으나, 각 정점에서 서로 다른 시간대에 얻어진 평균 개체수들은, 최대치가 최소치의 2.3-8.7배의 범위로 크게 변하였다. 그러나, 이들 서로 다른 시간대의 평균 개체수들은 통계적으로 95% 신뢰도에서 유의적 차이를 보이지 않았다. 이것은 매우 큰 분산 때문으로, patch의 영향이 해수의 이동 등과 관련, 시간에 따라 변하고 있음을 말해주는 것으로 여겨졌다. 반복 채집 시료간의 변이계수로 부터, 한번 채집에서 얻어진 개체수는 그 값의 50-200%에 있는 역시 한번 채집에서 얻어진 다른 수치와 통계적 유의성이 없을 것으로 판단되었다. 이러한 결과에서 시간별 채집 및 반복 채집의 필요성이 크게 인식되었다. 이로부터 서해 연안역에서의 적절한 채집 방법은, 연구목적, 해수 이동특성 등에 따라 결정되겠지만, 가능한 정점수를 줄이고 대신 각 정점에서 여러 차례, 반복 채집하는 것이 좋은 것으로 사료되었다.
