  • Objectives: In this study, we analyzed the current state of delivery containers and packages and established handling guidelines to safely transport delivery containers and packages for use in research, testing, and examination reagents. Methods: Handling guidelines were revised in such categories as maintenance of the handling facilities, storage, loading and unloading, containers and packages, transportation, etc. In addition, we analyzed the current state of domestic sales for hazardous chemicals used for research, testing, and examination reagents, and investigated the handling guidelines related to delivery transportation in the USA, EU, and Japan by chemical property. Results: There are 6,160 companies selling hazardous chemicals. Among them, the 476 companies selling reagents for use in research, testing, and examination were investigated. Total amounts handled reached 425,000 tons, contributing to 0.2% of the total. For delivery transportation, internal containers and packaging was specified for chemical properties as follows: within 1 L for flammable gas, within 5 L for flammable liquid, and within 18 L for others. In addition, the maximum size of the outer package was set within 130 cm for total length, width, and height, and no dimension of the packaging could exceed 60 cm. Sixty-four hazardous chemicals with explosiveness or acute inhalation toxicity were prohibited for delivery transportation. Conclusion: Specified handling guidelines for inner and outer containers as well as packaging were regulated for delivery transportation of hazardous chemicals used for reagents. In addition, 64 hazardous chemicals were prohibited for delivery transportation. These are designed to prevent transportation accidents involving hazardous chemicals for reagents and thus protect the safety and health of transporters who handle hazardous chemicals.

  • 염소(Chlorine)는 지구상에서 가장 많이 생산되고 사용되는 화학물질 중 하나로, 비가연성 물질이지만 독성, 오존층 파괴 및 활발한 반응성을 지닌 물질이며, 현대사회는 염소와 그 유도체의 사용 없이 윤택한 삶을 유지하는 것이 거의 불가능할 정도로 의약품과 세정제, 방취제, 살균제, 제초제, 살충제 및 플라스틱을 비롯하여 공산품의 40% 이상에 사용되고 있는 지구상의 대표적인 화학물질이다. 국내의 경우, 염소는 전국의 다양한 사업장(중소기업, 정수장, 운송회사 등)에서 취급 및 유통되고 있지만 관련 운송위험과 유해성 평가 연구가 부족하여, 국내외 염소누출 관련 사고에 대해 분석 및 염소 취급 및 유통에 대한 유해성 평가를 시도하였다. 특히 화학물질 운송위험지수를 국내 실정에 맞도록 모델화하였고, 액화 염소를 포함한 13종 화학물질의 운송위험성 모사를 통해 유해성 평가를 실시하였다. 이는 염소를 비롯한 다양한 화학물질에 대한 화학물질 운송위험지수 모델을 적용하여 정형화된 유통 유해성평가를 할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

  • Since the unprecedented hydrogen fluoride leak accident in 2012, there has been growing demand for customized technical information for rapid response and chemical accident management agencies including the Ministry of Environment, the National Emergency Management Agency, and the National Police Agency need more information on chemicals and accident management. In this regard, this study aims to provide reliable technical data and guidelines to initial response agencies, similar to accident management technical reports of the US and Canada. In this study, we conducted a questionnaire survey and interviews on initial response agencies like fire stations, police stations, and local governments to identify new information items for appropriate initial response and improvements of current guidelines. We also collected and reviewed the Canada's TIPS, US EPA's hydrogen fluoride documents, domestic and foreign literature on applicability tests of control chemicals, and interview data, and then produced items to be listed in the technical guidelines. In addition, to establish database of on-site technical information, we carried out applicability tests for accident control data including ① emergency shut down devide, safety guard, shut down valve, ground connection, dyke, transfer pipe, scrubber, and sensor; ② literature and field survey on distribution type and transportation/storage characteristics (container identification, valve, ground connection, etc.); ③ classification and identification of storage/transportation facilities and emergency management methodslike leak prevention, chemicals control, and cutoff or bypass of rain drainage; ④ domestic/foreign analysis methods and environmental standards including portable detection methods, test standards, and exposure limits; and ⑤ comparison/evaluation of neutralization efficiency of control chemicals on toxic substances.

  • PURPOSES : This study evaluates the reasonableness of the recommended amount of deicing chemicals based on historical data for snow removal. The result can be used to aid decision-making for the reservation of cost-effective de-icing chemicals. METHODS : First, the recommended amount of de-icing chemical to use and historical usage data were evaluated to identify specific usage characteristics for each region. Road maintenance length and snow-removal working days were analyzed over the past five winter seasons. Next, differences in the recommended amount of chemical to use and actual use were compared using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Last, the two types of data were analyzed using a chi-square test to verify if the two distributions of variation pattern are statistically significant. We found that there are significant differences between the data from each region during the past five winter seasons. RESULTS : The results showed that the equation for calculating the amount of de-icing chemical to use appears to be revised. CONCLUSIONS : The results imply that the equation for calculating the amount of de-icing chemical to apply as a national standard is very important when the public agency makes decisions related to snow-removal.

  • With the increase of pesticide consumption, not only pesticide handling population would grow greater but also the chances to be exposed to the pesticides would be also increased. Thus, safe use and handling of the pesticides are becoming more important and serious in these days. The pesticides are well known to most pepole, however there are very limited number of persons who have correct understanding of chamicals. Intoxication cases caused by pesticides have been reported very rarely through the mess media, even they were lack of scientific evidences. In this paper, problems related to pesticide manufacture, transportation, storage, sprays, and residues and their countermeasures were discussed in connection with public health and enviromental aspects. Acute intoxication cases by pesticide handling might be caused accidently either through manufacture, marketing, transportation, or spraying. Safety aspects of workers in manufacturing plants include not only exposure to toxic chemicals, but also posibilities of of explosion and brought about by pesticides and their diluents. The problems of water pollution by waste chemicals from the manufacturing factories were discussed. Packing and loading methods of pesticides for transportation are considered in safety scheme and discussions are given in association with traffic accidents. With regard to warehouse, the pesticide storage, location structure, keepers, and standing materials for emergency are concerned with safety aspects. Concerning the spraying of chemicals, there are some problems to be discussed about clothes, spray equipment, wind direction, spray period, and spray workers condition. After the spray, treatment of used containers, remainder of Pesticides, and spray tools are also discussed. For the dissolutions of problems on public health and environmental danger arising from pesticide residues, there are two legal sanctions; 'Pesticide Tolerances' and 'Pesticide Safe Use Standards'. These regulations are legally effective, however, some problems still remain in practices to implement the acts properly, because these provisions are followed by the far mers mostly. With these regards, most problems are concerned with various sectors and persons, affecting public health and environment from the producers to the end users and consumers. As a whole persons concerned with pesticides, every possible effort has to be assembled to protect hazards from the chemicals. For the foremost place, special training and education are required for managing groups; such as factory managers and agricultural extension workers who are responsible for training the factory workers and farmers. The education is the only way to solve the hazard problems caused by the pesticides.

  • In this study, chemical bath deposition method was used to grow Zinc sulfide(ZnS) thin films from $NH_3/SC(NH_2)_2/ZnSO_4$ solutions at $90^{\circ}C$. ZnS thin films have been prepared onto ITO glass. The concentrations of $ZnSO_4$ and $NH_3$ were varied while the concentration of Thiourea was fixed in 0.52 M. Structural, optical, electrical characteristic of ZnS thin films were measured. The physical and optical properties of different ZnS thin films were influenced severely by the concentration of the two reacting chemicals. The optimal concentration of $ZnSO_4$ and $NH_3$ was 0.085 M and 1.6 M, respectively.

  • 현대 화학 플랜트는 공정 및 설비가 복잡화, 세분화됨으로써 대규모 잠재 위험성이 증가하는 실정이다. 내부 화학물질이 난류, 층류, 압력, 온도, 마찰 등으로 인해 여러 조건하에 운영될 때 과도한 응력이 발생하고 이러한 발생 응력이 누적되면서 피로 등의 문제로 화학 설비 및 장치가 손상되거나 파열될 가능성이 존재한다. 사고통계에 따르면 여름철 화학 사고의 발생 빈도는 다른 계절에 비해 높게 나타나며 최근 5년간 발생한 화학 사고에서 누출에 의한 사고는 유형별 사고 중 압도적인 비율을 차지한다. 화학물질의 누출은 폭발 및 환경오염을 포함한 큰 인명 및 경제적 피해를 일으킬 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 계절별로 화학 플랜트 배관 누출 시 위험성 및 피해영향 평가를 수행하기 위해 실제 프로필렌 누출사고 현장을 3D 스캐너를 활용하여 재구성하고 FLACS를 활용하여 계절별 최대농도, 끝점거리 및 확산 거동을 비교 분석함으로써 프로필렌의 계절별 누출 거동을 도출하였다. 그 결과 여름에 화학물질이 누출될 경우 다른 계절에 비해 위험성이 크게 나타나는 것을 확인하였으며 이를 통해 계절별 안전관리 대책 및 방안을 제시하였다.

  • Objectives This study is conducted to estimate the cost paid by the public suffering from disease possibly caused by chemical and to examine the effect on public health. Methods Cost-benefit analysis is an important factor in analysis and decision-making and is an important policy decision tool in many countries. Cost-of-illness (COI), a kind of scale-based analysis method, estimates the potential value lost as a result of illness as a monetary unit and calculates the cost in terms of direct, indirect and psychological costs. This study estimates direct medical costs, transportation fees for hospitalization and outpatient treatment, and nursing fees through a number of patients suffering from disease caused by chemicals in order to analyze COI, taking into account the cost of productivity loss as an indirect cost. Results The total yearly cost of the diseases studied in 2012 is calculated as 77 million Korean won (KRW) per person. The direct and indirect costs being 52 million KRW and 23 million KRW, respectively. Within the total cost of illness, mental and behavioral disability costs amounted to 16 million KRW, relevant blood immunological parameters costs were 7.4 million KRW, and disease of the nervous system costs were 6.7 million KRW. Conclusions This study reports on a survey conducted by experts regarding diseases possibly caused by chemicals and estimates the cost for the general public. The results can be used to formulate a basic report for a social-economic evaluation of the permitted use of chemicals and limits of usage.
