Methamphetamine (MA) is the most common and available drug of abuse in Korea and its primary metabolite is amphetamine (AP). Detection of AP derivatives, such as MA, AP, phentermine (PT), MDA, MDMA, and MDEA by the use of immunoassay screening is not reliable and accurate due to cross-reactivity and insufficient specificity/sensitivity. Therefore, the analytical process accepted by most urine drug-testing programs employs the two-step method with an initial screening test followed by a more specific confirmatory test if the specimen screens positive. In this study, a gas chromatography-mass spectrometric (GC-MS) method was developed and validated for confirmation of MA and AP in human urine. Urine sample (500 µL) was added with N-isopropylbenzylamine as internal standard and ethyl chloroformate as a derivatization reagent, and then extracted with 200 µL of ethyl acetate. Extracted samples were analysed with GC-MS in the SIM/ Scan mode, which were screened by Cobas c311 analyzer (Roche/Hitachi) to evaluate the efficiency as well as the compatibility of the GC-MS method. Qualitative method validation requirements for selectivity, limit of detection (LOD), precision, accuracy, and specificity/sensitivity were examined. These parameters were estimated on the basis of the most intense and characteristic ions in mass spectra of target compounds. Precision and accuracy were less than 5.2 % (RSD) and ±14.0 % (bias), respectively. The LODs were 3 ng/mL for MA and 1.5 ng/mL for AP. At the screening immunoassay had a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 95.1 % versus GC-MS for confirmatory testing. The applicability of the method was tested by the analysis of spiked urine and abusers' urine samples.

Cannabis is one of the most abused drugs in Korea. The main psychoactive component in cannabis, Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol, is metabolized to 11-nor-9-carboxy-Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THCCOOH) and THCCOOH-glucuronide (THCCOOH-glu) in the human liver, whereby the amount of THCCOOH-glu found in urine is twice as high as that of THCCOOH. The analytical process adapted by the majority of urine drug-testing programs involves a two-step method consisting of an initial immunoassay-based screening test followed by a confirmatory test if the screening test result is positive. In this study, a qualitative gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) method was developed and validated for the detection of THCCOOH in human urine, where THCCOOH-glu was converted into THCCOOH by alkaline hydrolysis. For purification of the urine extract prior to instrumental analysis, high-speed centrifugation was used to minimize interference. In addition, an injection-port derivatization method using ethyl acetate and N,O-bis(trimethylsilyl)-trifluoroacetamide containing 1 % trimethylchlorosilane was employed to reduce the time required for derivatization, and an aliquot of the final solution was injected into the GC-MS. The method was validated by measuring the selectivity, limit of detection (LOD), and repeatability. The sensitivity, specificity, precision, accuracy, Kappa, F-measure, false positive, and false negative rate were determined by comparing the GC-MS results with those obtained using the immunoassay. The LOD was determined to be 0.32 ng/mL, while the repeatability was within 9.1 % for THCCOOH. Furthermore, a comparison study was carried out, whereby the screening immunoassay exhibited a sensitivity of 86.4 % and a specificity of 100 % compared to GC-MS. The applicability of the developed method was examined by analyzing spiked urine and forensic urine samples obtained from suspected cannabis abusers (n = 221).

To develop and evaluate formaldehyde measurement method using 2,4-dinitro-phenylhydrazine (2,4-DNPH) coated sampler and gas chromatography, laboratory test and field test were conducted. Results of this study are as follows. Limit of detection(LOD) of measurement methods, HPLC-UVD, GC-NPD and GC-FID, is $0.008{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ $0.060{\mu}g/m{\ell}$, $0.472{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ respectively. Coefficiency of measurement methods, HPLC-UVD, GC-NPD and GC-FID, is 0.008, 0.009, 0.020 respectively. Desorption efficiency of sep-pak xposure aldehyde sampler and sorbent sample tube is 1.05(range : 0.99 - 1.12), 1.02(range : 0.99 - 1.06) respectively. Samples of sorbent sample tube and sep-pak xposure aldehyde sampler turned out to be stored at refrigerator, according to storage test results. Measurement methods of HPLC-UVD, GC-NPD, GC-FID, according to results of precision for the combined sampling and analytical procedure, became acceptable to OSHA evaluation standard. Field test using exposure chamber met the NIOSH overall uncertainty recommendation(less than 25%). Overall uncertainty of Sepak-HPLC(UVD), Tube-GC(NPD), Tube-GC(FID) is 11.0% - 17.0%. Consequently gas chromatography(GC-NPD, GC-FID) and high performance liquid chromatography(EPA TO-11) using 2,4-DNPH coated sampler for formaldehyde measurement turned out to be suitable to measure personal formaldehyde exposure at workplaces.

곡류1종(쌀), 채소류 7종(시금치, 갓, 배추, 파프리카, 고추, 오이, 토마토)와 과일류 3종(감, 사과, 키위)에서의 simetryn 과 buprofezin을 CC-NPD와 CC-MSD로 분석한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. Simetryn을 CC-NPD로 분석한 결과 검출한계는 0.019mg/kg였으며 buprofezin을 GC-WPD로 분석한 결과 검출한계는 0.023mg/kg로 측정되었다. 2.곡류 1종, 채소류 7종, 과일류 3종 등 총 11종의 농산물에 표준용액을 첨가하여 회수 실험을 수행한 결과 곡류인 쌀에서 simetryn은 $112.5\%$, buprofezin은 $115.8\%4로 양호한 결과를 나타내었으며 채소류에서의 회수율은 simetryn이 $83.9\sim115.9\%$, buprofezin은 92.6\sim121.5\%$, 과일류에서의 회수율은 simetryn이 $57.0\sim95.9\%$, buprofezin은 $56.5\sim102\%$를 나타내었다 3. 농산물에 사용되고 있는 농약은 종류가 매우 다양하기 때문에 단일농약 성분을 검출하는 방법보다는 여러 농약 성분을 동시에 분석하는 방법이 농산물의 안전성 확보를 위해 더욱 실용적이다 식품공전상 simetryn과 buprofezin은 단성분 분석법에 따르도록 되어 있으나 본 연구를 통하여 동시분석법으로의 적용이 가능한 것을 확인하였으며, 따라서 보다 효율적인 검사가 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

본 연구는 ppb와 ppt 정도의 농도 수준으로 존재하고 있는 대기 중 휘발성 유기화합물을 분석하기 위해 열탈착-저온농축-GC/FID/FPD를 개발하였다. 그리고 고체흡착제가 충진된 흡착관과 자체 제작한 휴대용 가스채취기를 사용하여 강원도 춘천지역에 위치한 근화동과 혈동리 생활폐기물 매립장에서 배출되는 VOCs를 채취하였다. 저온농축방법으로는 분석컬럼을 직접 저온 농축하는 on-column 저온 농축장치와 0.8mm loop를 이용한 저온농축장치를 서로 비교 검토해 보았다. On-column 저온농축법은 loop에 비해 분리능은 좋으나 흡착관에 채취한 시료를 저온농축할 때 요구되는 50 psi의 높은 탈착압력으로 인해 흡착관의 SwageLok fitting이 마모되어 가스가 새는 문제점이 발생하였다. 이에 반해 탈착압력을 낮추고 탈착유량을 늘리기 위해 설계한 loop 경우에는 탈착압력이 0.4 psi로 on-column에 비해 매우 낮아 가스가 새는 것을 방지할 수 있었다. 열탈착-저온농축-GC/FID/FPD로 분석한 근화동과 혈동리 생활폐기물 매립장에서 검출된 물질로는 toluene, xylene, ethylbenzene등 탄화수소류와 악취물인 styrene, limonene, dimethyl disulfide 등이 검출되었다. 그리고 매립지에서 방출되는 VOCs는 매립되는 폐기물의 조성과 매립기간에 따라 다르게 나타났다. 검출된 화합물은 저온농축-GC/MS를 이용하여 확인하였다.

This study assessed the feasibility of a dual-channel (DC) compound method for film dosimetry. The red channel (RC) is usually used to ensure dosimetric quality using a conventional fraction dose because the RC is more accurate at low doses within 3 Gy than is the green channel (GC). However, the RC is prone to rapid degradation of sensitivity at high doses, while degradation of the GC is slow. In this study, the DC compound method combining the RC and GC was explored as a means of providing accurate film dosimetry for high doses. The DC compound method was evaluated at various dose distributions using EBT3 film inserted in a solid-water phantom. Measurements with $10{\times}20cm^2$ radiation field and $60^{\circ}$ dynamic-wedge were done. Dose distributions acquired using the RC and GC were analyzed with root-mean-squares-error (RMSE) and gamma analyses. The DC compound method was used based on the RC after correcting the GC for high doses in the gamma analysis. The RC and GC produced comparatively more accurate RMSE values for low and high doses, respectively. Gamma passing rates with an acceptance criterion of 3%/3 mm revealed that the RC provided rapid reduction in the high dose region, while the GC displayed a gradual decrease. In the whole dose range, the DC compound method had the highest agreement (93%) compared with single channel method using either the RC (80%) or GC (85%). The findings indicate that the use of DC compound method is more appropriate in dosimetric quality assurance for radiotherapy using high doses.

Pesticides were extracted from samples with 70% acetone and methylene chloride in order, and then cleaned up via open-column chromatography apparatus packed with florisil, and finally analyzed simultaneously the organochlorine and pyrethroid pesticides using GC(ECD). An ultra-2 fused silica capillary column was used to separate and identify the products. The resolution between the last isomeric peak of cypermethrin(59.987min) and the first isomeric peak of flucythrinate(60.043min) was not satisfactory. The last isomeric peak of fenvalerate(62.344min) and the first isomeric peak of fluvalinate(62.397min) were overlapped. Recoveries of soybean sample fer the most pesticides were 73.3% to 102.4%. Detection limits were between 0.004 and 0.063 ${\mu}$g/mg when this method was used.

Analytical method of benzophenone (BP) in sediment and soil was developed by gas chromatography/mass selective detector/selected ion monitoring (GC/MSD/SIM). The ultrasonic extraction of US EPA (method 3550B) method and liquid-liquid extraction for sediment and soil samples were used for the analysis of BP from sediment and soil. BP was extracted with n-hexane. Organic layer was washed with 5% sodium chloride solution. 1∼2 l of the concentrated solution of organic layer was applied to GC/MSD. The retention time of BP peak was 11.10 min. Recovery (％) of BP by ultrasonication from sediment and soil samples was 96.0∼100.6％ and 40.0∼83.0％, respectively. Recovery of BP by liquid-liquid extraction was 51∼59％ in soil samples. The detection limit of BP in sediment and soil samples were determined to 0.1 ng/g.
