  • 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.

  • 재활용 제품의 사용이 증가함에 따라 이에 대한 위해성 평가가 필요한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 재활용 제품 중 재활용 고무분말을 이용한 놀이터용 바닥재와 해당 고무분말의 중금속 함량을 비교하였다. 또한 각각의 물질이 경피로 전이되는 양을 확인하여 피부에 흡수되는 중금속 노출 특성을 살펴보았다. 아연의 경우 함량이 높은데 반해 전이량이 0.1 $mg/cm^2$으로 매우 낮았는데 이는 아연은 표면 접촉으로는 잘 묻어나지 않는다는 것을 나타낸다. 그러나 철과 알루미늄의 경우, 함량이 바닥재에서 12 배 높게 나타났고, 전이량이 아연보다 약 5 배 높게 나타났다. 이것은 철과 알루미늄이 바닥재에 사용된 안료에서 기인했다는 것을 말한다. 놀이터 6 개소를 대상으로 피부 흡수에 의한 중금속 노출량을 산정한 결과, Ba의 경우 타 중금속에 비하여 비교적 높게 산정되었다. Zn의 함량이 높음에도 불구하고 Ba의 노출량이 더 높은 것은 Ba의 피부흡수율이 Zn에 비해 약 5 배 높기 때문인 것으로 판단된다.

  • Regionally the lowest average concentration of TOC was observed with 0.66 mg/L in Nakdong river, while the highest concentration of TOC was observed with 0.91 mg/L in Yeongsan river. The average concentration of TOC for national water quality monitoring site showed that the lowest average concentration of TOC was 1.58 mg/L in Han river, while the highest concentration of TOC was 3.37 mg/L in Yeongsan river. Seasonally, the average concentration of TOC at six upstream sites showed 0.77 mg/L and 0.56 mg/L, 0.69 mg/L and 0.63 mg/L, 0.80 mg/L and 0.73 mg/L, and 1.21 mg/L and 0.68 mg/L between wet season and dry season in Han river, Nakdong river, Gem river and Yeongsan river, respectively. For the national water quality site, the average concentration of TOC between wet season and dry season was 1.70 mg/L and 1.45 mg/L in Han river, 2.01 mg/L and 1.75 mg/L in Nakdong river, 2.01 mg/L and 1.60 mg/L in Gem river, and 3.75 mg/L and 3.00 mg/L in Yeongsan river. The distribution of TOC in upstream and national water quality monitoring sites on four major rivers have been influenced by seasonal and regional characteristics in Korea.

  • Histopathological changes and cadmium accumulations in the gills were investigated in crucian carp(Carassius auratus) exposed to 0, 0.01, 0.1, 0.5mg/$\ell$ cadmium(Cd) concentrations for 25 days. After 25 days of exposure, cadmium accumulations increased in each of the different exposure concentrations.(omitted)
