Compost is used mainly as an organic fertilizer, but it is also used as bedding material for cattle. Dairy cattle have been identified as a main reservoir of pathogenic Escherichia coli O157:H7. Further, E. coli is regarded as an environmental pathogen that causes bovine clinical mastitis. Hence, its growth in compost spread or compost bedding should be avoided. Physical and chemical conditions, available nutrients and microflora in compost change greatly during the composting process. Since pathogen growth in compost seems to be related to these changes, we assessed the possibility of E. coli growth in compost samples collected at 0, 7, 13, 22, 41, 190 and 360 d. Cattle waste composts with and without added tofu residue were collected from static piles and immediately air-dried. Compost samples were inoculated with a pure culture of E. coli, the moisture content was adjusted to 50%, and the samples were incubated for 5 d at $30^{\circ}C$. The numbers of E. coli in compost before and after incubation were determined by direct plating on Chromocult coliform agar. Almost all compost samples supported E. coli growth. Samples collected during or immediately after the thermophilic phase (day 7) showed the highest growth. Growth in samples more than 13 d old were not significantly different from those of aged compost samples. The addition of tofu residue gave a higher growth than its absence in younger samples collected prior to 13 d. To minimize the risk of environmental mastitis, the use of compost in the initial stage of the process is better avoided.

오늘날 반도체를 이용하는 가전제품, 컴퓨터, 휴대전화 등 전자 제품들은 모두 인쇄회로기판을 내장하고 있는 공통점을 가지며, 폐전자제품의 PCB는 유용한 금속 성분과 유기계 수지를 포함하고 있는 상태이다. 한국은 대부분의 자원을 외국에서 수입하므로 폐자원으로부터 유가금속은 물론 유기물을 회수하여 재자원화 할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 폐PCB 유기계 잔류물 재활용 기술에 대한 특허와 논문을 분석하였다. 분석범위는 1979년~2012년까지의 미국, 유럽연합, 일본, 한국의 등록/공개된 특허와 SCI 논문으로 제한하였다. 특허와 논문은 키워드를 사용하여 수집하였으며, 기술의 정의에 의해 필터링 하였다. 특허와 논문의 동향은 연도, 국가, 기업, 기술 등에 따라 분석하여 고찰하였다. 이에 국내외에서 상대적으로 중합체 제조 기술의 특허출원 및 논문게재 활동이 부진한 것으로 나타났다.
