A light-weight enough to be portable yet functionally complete hand-writing machine was designed with hardware assembled and software implemented. The machine simulating human hand-writing not only allows identical massive scriptings on papers in human's proxy, but also offers emotional appearance as if the script was directly hand-written in ink. The features of human writing were independently put together to complete the action of scripting. The writing style could be altered in order to mimic a person's own specific writing style. The present work demonstrates that the assembled hand-writing machine was able to duplicate writing of scripts in almost parallel lines in consistent manner. The machine can be used in the emotional marketing area where seasonal greetings or thank-you cards are to be sent in massive manner. The pen-holding machine can also find an emotional application such as writing a short greeting note on a plastic lid on a disposable coffee cup in coffee-selling stores.

위생용품의 기준 및 규격서에는 포름알데히드 함량 시험법이 위생용품 유형별로 다르게 규정되어 있다. 위생용품 유형별로 미용티슈, 기저귀 안감 및 방수층, 팬티라이너를 대표 시료로 하여, 2,4-DNPH/HPLC법, 아세틸아세톤/분광광도계법, 아세틸아세톤/HPLC법을 비교 분석하였다. 시험방법의 유효성 확인을 위하여 위생용품 유형별로 직선성과 검출한계, 정량한계, 회수율, 반복성 등을 검토하였다. 포름알데히드 표준용액으로 검량선을 작성 한 결과 3가지 시험방법에서 모두 상관계수(R²)가 0.999이상이었고, 검출한계와 정량한계는 위생용품의 기준 및 규격에 규정된 각각의 최대잔류허용기준(Maximum Residue Level, MRL)에 비해 매우 낮게 나타났다. 또한 80%이상의 양호한 회수율을 확인할 수 있었고, 반복성(repeatability)도 20% 이내에 해당하여 양호하였다. 분석장비 별 비교에서는 분광광도계에 비하여 HPLC는 낮은 검출한계 및 정량한계를 나타내어 정밀한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 유도체화 후 차광을 유지하면서 분석이 가능한 장점이 있었다. 유도체화 시액별 시간 경과에 따른 포름알데히드 안정성 평가를 위하여 2,4-DNPH와 아세틸아세톤으로 유도체화 한 후 0, 3, 6, 9, 24, 48 시간에 HPLC로 포름알데히드를 분석하였다. 2,4-DNPH로 유도체화 된 포름알데히드의 경우 시간의 경과에 따른 포름알데히드 피크면적의 통계적 유의성은 보이지 않았다(P>0.05). 반면, 아세틸아세톤의 경우 유의적인 상관관계를 보였는데(P<0.01), 아세틸아세톤-포름알데히드 면적과 시간과는 음의 상관계수(r)를 보였다. 최초로 측정된 포름알데히드 피크면적평균 대비 시간대 별 피크면적평균 비교에서는 2,4-DNPH 시액으로 유도체화 한 경우에는 면적비의 특별한 증감이 관찰되지 않아 안정한 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 아세틸아세톤으로 유도체화한 경우에는 시간의 경과에 따라 감소 경향을 보이다가 48시간 경과 후에는 81.3-95.2% 수준으로 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 위생용품은 대부분 일회용으로 제조가 용이한 종이와 부직포 재질로 만드는 경우가 많고, 제조과정 중 접착제를 사용한다. 따라서 위생용품 최종제품에도 포름알데히드가 잔존할 가능성이 있다. 우리나라에서도 위생용품관리법으로 위생용품 중의 포름알데히드 기준을 마련하여 관리하고 있으나 시행 초기로 국내 유통 제품에 대한 포름알데히드 잔류 실태조사는 미흡한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 부산지역에서 유통 중인 위생용품 총 205건을 대상으로 포름알데히드 함량 모니터링을 실시하였다. 일회용 기저귀 74건 중 73건에서 0.13-29.87 mg/kg의 수준으로 낮은 농도의 포름알데히드가 잔류되어 있음을 확인하였다. 이에 일회용 기저귀는 피부에 직접 접촉하는 부분을 중심으로 지속적인 관리가 필요할 것으로 생각된다. 반면 화장지 78건, 일회용 타월 27건, 일회용 행주 12건, 종이컵 7건, 일회용 종이냅킨 6건, 종이빨대 1건에서는 포름알데히드가 모두 검출되지 않아 안전하게 관리되고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

Carry over contamination has been reduced in some systems by flushing the internal and external surfaces of the sample probe with copious amount of diluent. It between specimens should be kept as small as possible. A built-in, continuous-flow wash reservoir, which allows the simultaneous washing of the interior and exterior of the syringe needles, addresses this issue. In addition, residual contamination can further be prevented through the use of efficient needle rinsing procedures. In discrete systems with disposable reaction vessels and measuring cuvets, any carry over is entirely caused by the pipetting system. In analyzers with reuseable cuvets or flow cells, carry over may arise at every point through which high samples pass sequentially. Therefore, disposable sample probe tips can eliminate both the contamination of one sample by another inside the probe and the carry over of in specimen into the specimen in the cup. The results of the applicative carry over experiment studied on 21 items for total protein (TP), albumin (ALB), total bilirubin (TB), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), aspratate aminotranferase (AST), alanine aminotranferase (ALT), gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT), creatinine kinase (CK), lactic dehydrogenase (LD), creatnine (CRE), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), uric acid (UA), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), glucose (GLU), amylase (AMY), calcium (CA), inorganic phosphorus (IP), sodium (Na), potassium (K), chloride (CL) tests in chematology were as follows. Evaluation of process performance less than 1% in all tests was very good, but a percentage of ALB, TP, TB, ALP, CRE, UA, TC, GLU, AMY, IP, K, Na, and CL was 0%, implying no carry over. Other tests were ALT(-0.08%), GGT(-0.09%), CK(0.08%), LD(0.06%), BUN(0.12%), TG (-0.06%), and CA(0.89%).

The purpose of this study was to investigate the rural housewives' recognition and practice on environmental preservation. The subjects of this study were 300 rural housewives living in Chung-buk province. Questionaires were distributed to them during a week from August $25^{th}$ to August $31^{th}$ in 1995. Major findings were as follows: 1. The saved water quite well in washing their faces and the dishes compared with urban housewives, but they did not save water so well in using the lavatory. They used synthetic detergent, one of water pollutants, more often than natural soaps in shampooing and laundering. In addition, they did not use a measuring cup. It resulted in the waste of detergent and aggravation of water pollution. 2. Food waste was disposed of properly, but used batteries were not collected separately. A disposable vinyl bag was more commonly used than a reusable shopping basket. The reason for not using a shopping basket was bothering or uncustomary. Since most of them did not know refillable products of goods with environmental mark, they did not use those. Therefore, housewives should be educated in order to prevent soil pollution. 3. The use of spry-type pesticide and hair treatment, one of air pollutants, was wide-spread among them. They hardly recognized and practiced saving of electric power when they used household electric appliances. 4. The major source of environmental knowledge was mass media like TV of radio. Many of them did not know the practical ways to solve the environmental education program. In conclusion, low level of recognition and practice of rural housewives on environmental preservation indicated that a systematic environmental education program should be developed and implemented.

Objectives: This study was designed to evaluate the filtration efficiencies and pressure drops of five commercial cloth masks (4 plate type, 1 cup type) in comparison to the performance of a class 1 disposable respirator (reference respirator). A further objective was to evaluate the effects of the number of layers and wash treatment independently on filtration efficiencies and pressure drops. Methods: Polydisperse NaCl aerosols were generated in an aerosol chamber and their concentrations were measured by an optical particle counter (OPC) in the size range of $0.3{\sim}10{\mu}m$ (five channels). Results: The filtration efficiencies of the five cloth masks and the reference respirator were D: 9.5%, C: 18.5%, E: 23.6%, A: 28.5%, B: 29.7% and R: 91.1%, respectively, and the pressure drops through them were C, D: 0.8 Pa, E: 1.7 Pa, B: 6.4 Pa, A: 42.7 Pa and R: 19.3 Pa, respectively. The filtration efficiencies of the cloth masks and reference respirator were below the class 1 respirator criterion (${\geq}94.0%$) of the Ministry of Employment and Labor (MOEL) and Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS). The pressure drops satisfied the class 1 respirator criterion (${\leq}70Pa$) of MOEL and MFDS. When the cloth masks were folded into two and four layers, the filtration efficiencies of cloth masks A, B, C, D (plate type) increased 1.7-4.6 times, and 2.3-6.8 times, respectively, compared to the efficiencies of the same products in a single layer. Pressure drops increased as the number of layers was increased. The filtration efficiency of cloth mask E with a liner was 1.3 times higher than that of the same mask without a liner, and the pressure drop was lower in the no-liner configuration. After a single washing, the filtration efficiencies of all the cloth mask products decreased 1.04-4.0 times compared to those of the same products intact. For the cloth masks C and E, their filtration efficiencies were significantly decreased after washing (p<0.05). The pressure drops of all cloth masks were 1.2-2.0 times lower after washing. Conclusions: The filtration efficiencies of the five cloth masks were below 30% and did not improve greatly by increasing the number of layers. After a single washing, their performances decreased. Considering the above and other issues identified with cloth masks, such as poor fit and stretched fibers through use, people should not expect protection against particulate matters from the cloth masks on the market.

BPA는 플라스틱 가소제 및 폴리카보네이트 플라스틱 생산의 모노머로 광범위하게 사용되어 왔으며, 년간 세계적으로 640,000톤 이상이 생산되고 있다. 내분비장애활성을 가진 BPA는 수계 및 공업용수에서 흔히 발견되며, 이의 분석은 HPLC 및 GC 등 기기분석에 의존하고 있다. 그러나 본 연구에서는 환경 및 생활용품에 잔류하는 BPA를 신속, 정확하고, 경제적으로 분석할 수 있는 분광학적 정량방법을 개발하고자 하였으며, 이를 위해 $FeCl_3{\cdot}6H_2O$와 $K_3Fe(CN)_6$를 사용한 비색정량법을 확립하였다. 발색반응으로 생성된 청색화합물의 ${\lambda}max$ 및 반응특이성을 조사하였으며, 최적반응조건(시간, 온도, pH, 농도, 부피, 반응안전성)을 검토하였다. 확립된 발색반응조건에서 BPA에 대한 검량곡선(${\lambda}_{750}$=0.61 BPA $[{\mu}M]$+0.07155, $R^{2}$=0.992)을 얻었으며, 신규 확립된 비색정량법을 이용하여 토양, 수계 및 생활용품의 BPA 분석을 시도한 결과, HPLC 분석시스템과 유사한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 본 BPA 및 관련물질에 대한 비색정량법은, 기기분석에 비해 빠르고, 경제적이며, 대량의 시료를 일시에 취급할 수 있어 기기분석의 보완분석으로도 우수하며, BPA 분해산물은 발색반응을 나타내지 않아, 자연계로부터 BPA 분해균주 선별 등에 매우 유용하게 이용될 수 있다.
