본 연구는 삼림환경내에 살포된 살충제 cyfluthrin과 trichlorfon의 물에서의 잔류 및 동태 와 수서생물에 미치는 영향을 비교, 분석하기 위하여 수행하였다. 농약은 오리나무 잎벌레(Agelastica coerulea B.)를 구제하기 위하여 2회 항공살포 (살포량 : cyfluthrin 25g ai/ha, trichlorfon 536g ai/ha)하였으며, 아울러 수서곤충에 대한 영향을 비교하기 위하여 야외 소하천에서 모의실험을 실시한 바, 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 물에서 cyfluthrin은 살포직후에는 $0.62{\mu}g/L$ (1차) $78{\mu}g/L$(2차)이나 토양, 저질등에 흡착되어 1차 살포의 경우는 1일후에 검출되지 않았고, 2차 살포의 경우에는 4시간 이후에 $1{\mu}g/L$이하로 떨어져 급격히 소실됨을 알 수 있었다. Trichlorfon은 강우에 의한 영향을 크게 받아 농약 살포후 22일까지 농도의 증감이 계속되었다. 수서생물에 대한 영향을 보면, cyfluthrin은 어류와 동물성 플랑크톤에 대한 영향은 없었으나, 수서곤충에 대해서는 38-73배(항공살포), 1200-2000배(모의실험)의 표류량이 관찰되었다. Trichlofon은 어류에 대한 영향은 없었으나, 동물성 플랑크톤 중 Copepoda와 Cladocera에 대한 영향이 관찰되었으나 수서곤충에 대해서는 큰 영향이 없었다. 수서곤충의 목별 감수성 은 cyfluthrin의 경우 하루살이목, 딱정벌레목, 파리목의 순서로 감수성이 낮고, trichlorfon은 파리목이 비교적 민감하였다.

식품첨가제로 주로 사용되는 이산화타이타늄 혼합물인 최근 E171은 체내 축적 및 유전 독성을 야기할 수 있다는 사실이 입증되어, 현재 규정 개정을 통해 E171의 식품첨가물 사용이 제한되고 있다. 그러나, 현재까지 E171의 인체 위해성 연구는 많이 진행된 반면, E171의 환경생물에 미치는 독성 연구는 상대적으로 부족한 실정이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 최근 우려되는 잠재적 독성물질인 E171의 환경적 위해성을 파악하기 위해 수생태계를 대표하는 물벼룩(Daphnia magna)과 제브라피쉬(Danio rerio)를 대상으로 나노물질의 특성을 반영한 최신 표준문건을 활용하여 기존 시험법의 한계점을 보완한 최적의 독성시험을 수행하였다. 독성시험 결과, 실제 환경적 현실성을 고려한 농도범위의 E171에 노출된 물벼룩에서 유영저해가 발생했지만, 어류의 경우 치사나 이상행동개체가 관찰되지 않았다. 그러나, 산화스트레스 관련 분자생물학적 분석 결과, E171이 물벼룩과 어류에 모두 산화스트레스를 유발하여 이의 방어작용으로 항산화효소의 활성이 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 다만, 항산화효소 관련 유전자의 발현 여부는 생물종에 따라 차이가 존재하였다. 따라서, 본 연구 결과를 통해 E171은 실제 환경적 현실성을 고려한 농도에서 수생물에 산화스트레스를 유도할 수 있으나, 생물체의 종류에 따라 가시적인 독성의 정도와 산화스트레스 관련 유전자 발현에 차이가 존재함을 확인하였다. 본 연구는 기존 시험법의 한계점을 보안한 최적의 독성시험을 통해 E171이 수생물에 미치는 위험성을 확인하였으며, 이 결과는 E171의 환경 위해성 평가를 위한 과학적 자료로서 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Objectives This study aimed to estimate the effects of 4-nonylphenol (NP), a ubiquitously present surfactant in aquatic environments, on the anti-oxidant systems of the liver in the Far Eastern catfish Silurus asotus. Methods Changes in biochemical parameters involved in glutathione (GSH)-related and other anti-oxidant systems were analyzed following 4 weeks of 4-NP administration (0.1 and 1.0 mg/kg diet) via a formulated diet to catfish. Results 4-NP exposure induced an elevation in hepatic lipid peroxide levels and an accompanying decrease in reduced state GSH after 2 weeks, suggesting pro-oxidant effects of the chemical in catfish. This oxidative stress was associated with an inhibition of the GSH-utilizing enzyme glutathione peroxidase at the same time point. This inhibition was restored after 4 weeks. The activities of other anti-oxidant enzymes, i.e., glutathione reductase, superoxide dismutase and catalase were increased after 4 weeks. These enzyme increases occurred more strongly at the higher 4-NP concentration (1.0 mg/kg diet). Conclusions 4-NP given to catfish at 0.1 to 1.0 mg/kg diet, concentrations relevant to environmental levels, depletes the endogenous anti-oxidant molecule GSH and temporarily inhibits GSH-related anti-oxidant enzymes. Such declines in anti-oxidant capacity and elevated oxidative stress seem to be compensated eventually by subsequent activation of various anti-oxidant enzyme systems.

We evaluated the quality characteristics of Kimbugak prepared using a microwave oven or the oil-frying puffing method with different contents (0%, 15% and 30%) of Capsosiphon fulvescens in dried laver. Microwave-processed Kimbugak had lower crude fat content but higher levels of crude ash, crude protein, and minerals than that prepared by oil-frying; it also had higher hardness values. The redness of Kimbugak containing 30% C. fulvescens processed using either method was lower than the control group. In sensory evaluations, participants preferred Kimbugak containing 30% C. fulvescens puffed by oil-frying. These results indicate that Kimbugak puffed using the oil-frying method has the best quality characteristics.

We investigated the reproductive characteristics of the sweetfish Plecoglossus altivelis, including changes in the gonadosomatic index (GSI), frequency of gonad developmental stages, and abundance of drifting larvae, in three streams (Gangjeong, Yeonoi, and Ongpo) on Jeju Island from May 2004 to December 2005. The GSI values of female P. altivelis in all Jeju streams began to increase in September and reached a maximum in October and November. Peak GSI values in males occurred in Gangjeong from October to November, in Yeonoi from November to January, and in Ongpo from September to October. The gonadal development of P. altivelis was classified into four stages: growth (March to October), maturity (September to December in females; July to December in males), spawning (September to January), and degeneration (October to March in females; after November in males). Drifting larvae were collected from October to January. These results suggest that the main spawning activity of P. altivelis in Jeju streams occurs from October to November. The information about the reproductive characteristics of P. altivelis obtained in this study is critical to fishery management for this species.

Contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) including endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) and pharmaceuticals and personal care product chemicals (PPCPs) have recently received more attention because of their occurrence in water bodies and harmful impacts on human health and aquatic organisms. Triclosan is widely used as a synthetic broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent due to its antimicrobial efficacy. However, triclosan detected in aquatic environment has been recently considered as one of CECs, because of the potential for endocrine disruption, the formation of toxic by-products and the development of cross-resistance to antibiotics in aquatic environment. This comprehensive review focuses on the regulations, toxicology, fate and transport, occurrence and removal efficiency of triclosan. Overall, this review aims to provide better understanding of triclosan and insight into application of biological treatment process as an efficient method for triclosan removal.

Toxicity identification and quantification are important factors to evaluate the effect of industrial effluent on the aquatic environment. In order to measure the potential and real toxicity of mixed chemicals in the effluents, the biological method (i.e., WET test) should be used as well as chemical analysis method. In this study, we conducted WET test for various kinds of industrial effluents using aquatic organisms such as water flea (Daphnia magna), algae (Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata), fish (Oryzias latipes, Danio rerio), and microorganism (Vibrio fisheri). In addition, we carried out chemical analysis and TIE (Toxicity Identification Evaluation) for effluents in order to identify the substances causing toxicity. Among the 30 kinds of wastewater, S13 showed the highest eco-toxicity and $Ca^{2+}$ and $Cl^-$ ion were suspected as major compounds causing toxicity for aquatic organisms. In order to confirm these suspected compounds, various confirmation procedures need to be carried out.

Chironomous is aquatic insect belonging to order Diptera, family Chironomidae. Their larval stage can be found mainly in aquatic benthic environment, hence good model organism to study environmental toxicology assessments and consider as useful bio indicators of contamination of the aquatic environment. In this study, Chironomus Heat Shock Proteins, Cytochrome 450, Glutathione S-transferase, Serine-type endopeptidase gene expressions were compared between polluted field areas (Chironomus plumosus) and under laboratory conditions (Chironomus riparious) to investigate molecular indicators for environmental contaminant stress assessment. Heavy metal (Al, Fe, Mn, Cu, Cr, Zn, Se, Pb, As, Cd) concentrations in sediments collected from three study areas exceeded the reference values. Moreover, HSPs, CYP450 and GST gene expression except SP for C. plumosus showed higher expression than C. riparious gene expression. Similar gene expression pattern was observed in C. riparious that exposed environment waters up to 96 h when compared to C. plumosus exposed to waters that grown in lab conditions. In summary, this comparative gene expression analysis in Chironomous between field and laboratory condition gave useful information to select candidate molecular indicators in heavy metal contaminations in the environment.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) derived from leakage of fossil fuels and incomplete combustion of organic materials have been considered as harmful contaminants in environments. This study evaluated the effect of benzo[k]fluoranthene (BkF), one of the PAHs, using the multiple biomarkers and applied the integration model with those biomarker responses. After 10 days of the exposure at the measured concentrations of BkF (6, 25, and 45 ${\mu}g\;L^{-1}$), the changes of the four biomarkers, that is, 7-ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD), DNA single-strand breaks (Comet), acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and vitellogenin (VTG) in the common carp (Cyprinus carpio) were observed. The standardized values of four biomarker responses were computed and integrated as star plots, representing Integrated Biomarker Respnse (IBR) values. DNA damage was induced in a dose-dependent manner, and increased significantly compared with that in the control. EROD and VTG levels were significantly elevated at low concentrations of BkF. On the other hand, AChE activities were not altered by BkF. IBR values increased as the exposure concentrations increased. Thus, the metabolic, endocrine and genetic changes of the biomarker responses in the common carp exposed to BkF should be considered in the case of the ecological risk assessment of the BkF in fish and it can be used as a biomonitoring tool in aquatic ecosystems. In addition, star plots can be used as a useful analysis tool in multibiomarker integration approach.
