Chemical products have had an favorable influence on our everyday life, and contributed very much to the development of human culture. According to the rapid change of industry and the development of scientific technique the using chemical products are increasing more and more. Chemical products can have any hazardous property such as flammability or explosiveness. There are occurring many accidents in the international trade due to the different classification and labelling of chemicals produced in various countries. The main purpose of this work is the development of global standard test methods for the chemicals, and the classification and labelling in building block approach by means of the basic technical data. Oxidizing solids, combustible solids, spontaneously combustible materials, water-prohibitive materials, flammable liquids, self-reactive materials and oxidizing liquids have been tested. The results have been classified according to the hazard material safety regulation and the UN regulation, and summarized in a data-base.

유해화학물을 취급하는 중소규모의 사업장에 대하여 시설을 세부점검하였으며 이를 정리하였다. 점검결과는 크게 공정, 저장소, 작업자 및 기타 사항으로 구분하여 현황 및 문제점을 정리하고 이에 대한 세부적인 개선방안을 제시하였다. 전반적으로 법규를 만족하기만 하면 된다는 인식하에 최소한의 요구조건만을 갖추어 놓고 있었으며 이에 대한 지속적인 관리가 미흡한 것으로 결론되었다.

Due to dermal exposure to hazardous chemicals causing potential adverse health symptoms through skin absorption, dermal monitoring has had an important role in assessing such exposure. This paper overviews comparatively a number of studies of dermal monitoring with different methodologies such as surface monitoring, skin wiping, skin washing, adhesive methods and tape stripping, fluorescence and infrared spectroscopy, skin patches, pads and clothing, video exposure monitoring and dermal exposure assessment toolkits and models. However, there is a lack of information on the relationship between exposure levels and adverse health symptoms. Therefore, more specific strategies for dermal exposure monitoring should be developed and standardized with further development of biological and ocular monitoring.

Objectives Despite the great contribution made by chemical substances to the development of modern civilization, their indiscriminate use has caused various kinds of damage to the global environment and human beings. Accordingly, the major developed countries and international society have tried to ensure the safe use of chemicals and a reduction in the use of hazardous chemicals through the establishment of the United Nations Environment Programme and various international agreements. In this reason, we tried to introduce about Green Chemistry progress at the present in worldwide and Korea. Methods We checked and analyzed relative journals, reports using keyword as like Green Chemistry, alternative chemicals, eco-friendly etc. and major country's government homepage search. Results Green Chemistry theory, which argues for the reduction or removal of harmfulness in chemicals throughout their entire life-cycle, has been spreading, and major developed countries, such as the US and Denmark, have developed and operate programs to provide reliable chemical information to help replace hazardous chemicals. Korea has also been conducting studies as like eco-innovation project. Through this project the "Alternative Chemical Search program," has been developed, distributed, and operated since 2011 to provide reliable information to small and medium-sized businesses that have difficulties collecting information to ensure conformity to international regulations. The program provides information that includes the regulations of major countries and Korea, information on 340 alternative chemicals, 70 application cases, and 1:1 consulting. Conclusions The Alternative Chemical Search program is expected to contribute to the establishment of response systems for regulation of Korean small and medium-sized businesses, and it also will be used to provide basic data for Korean hazardous chemical regulation, together with the Act on the Registration and Evaluation, etc. of Chemical Substances and the Chemical Control act, making it possible to establish an infrastructure for Green Chemistry in Korea and to increase national competitiveness.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes in hazardous pollutant emissions in Korea over the period of 2006-2015. Methods: A survey of hazardous pollutant emissions was conducted through the homepage for 2006-2015. The emission of hazardous chemicals and the health effect was examined using the Annual Report of Air Quality in Korea (2016) and National Health Statistics (2015) as references. Results: Hazardous pollutant emissions increased by 1.1 times over the past decade, and the circulation amount of chemicals was 15% compared to the previous year. $PM_{10}$ concentrations showed a tendency to decrease, but emissions have not declined. In addition, asthma and atopic dermatitis correlated with similar emissions, but allergic disease showed no connection. Conclusion: These results on hazardous pollutant emissions indicate that they have increased. However, no association between emissions and health effects was shown, so more research is needed.

유해화학물질 취급작업장은 전국적으로 산재되어 있고, 가동된 지 20년 이상 경과된 시설의 노후화로 사고의 위험이 상존하고 있다. UN을 비롯 선진국의 화학물질 규제는 강화되고 있지만, 누출사고는 빈번하게 발생되어 사회적 큰 이슈가 되고 있다. 최근 국내의 경우 잇따른 누출사고로 정부와 관련부처는 화학사고에 대한 전반적인 예방, 대비, 대응체계를 점검 및 개선하고 있다. 본 연구는 유해화학물질 취급작업장에서 발생되는 누출 및 화학사고의 주요 원인에 대한 안전관리 실태와 관련제도의 기준 등 취급, 관리상의 문제점을 분석하여 사고예방과 초기 대응을 위한 제도 및 안전관리 개선방안을 제시하였다.

Objectives: This study was conducted to review the Toxic UseReduction Act of Massachusetts, USA, which has been evaluated as a successfulcase of a chemical reduction policy, and to search for ways to introduce it inKorea. Methods: We analyzed the implementation of the TURA by attending TUR Planning Course of the Toxic Use Reduction Institute in Massachusetts and researching the related literature. Results: As TURA took effect, the use of chemicals in Massachusetts was reduced, and cost savings were achieved in workplaces. The success factors for the legislation are considered to be support form the federal and state governments and the active participation of business and civic group. Domestic efforts to reduce toxic substances have already begun, so if the process of TURA is appropriately applied to domestic legislation of chemicals control, it would be expected to produce visible results. Therefore, we reviewed the 'Act on Chemicals Registration and Assessment', 'Act on Chemical Control' and 'Act on the Integrated Control of Pollutant-Discharging Facilities' and sought solution for applying TURA to each piece of legislation. For the first case, 'Toxic or Hazardous Substance List' and 'Establishment of Toxic Use Fee' is applicable. For the second case, 'Annual Toxic or Hazardous Substance Reports' is applicable. For the third case, 'Toxic Reduction Plans' and 'Toxics Use Reduction Institute and 'Toxic Use Reduction Planners' is applicable. Conclusions: The government should take notice appropriateness for the reduction of toxic chemicals and provide financial support. Businesses should invest in technologies that build trust with local communities, improve productivity, and reduce costs. Finally, civic group should cooperate with government and businesses.

최근 지속 가능한 개발과 유해화학물질의 국제적 규제를 목표로 한 바젤협약, Agenda 21, POP 의정서 등 여러종류의 국제협약이 진행되고 있으며, 환경규제는 점차 무역규제 형태로 나타날 전망이다. 특히, 화학산업의 경우 이러한 국제협약에 우선적으로 큰 영향을 받을 것이다. 따라서 국내외 환경규제에 대비하기 위하여 오염원에 대한 원천적인 제거와 오염물질을 감량시킬 수 있는 청정기술의 개발 및 도입이 시급하다. 환경친화적 기술개발을 바탕으로 국제 경쟁력의 우위를 유지 또는 선점하기 위하여 우리나라도 환경정책을 선진화하고 환경기술 개발을 촉진시켜 특히 화학산업의 경쟁력을 꾸준히 높여나가야 할 것이다. 본 연구에서는 화학산업과 관련된 국내외 환경규제와 유해화학물질의 관리현황을 살펴보고 화학산업의 발전을 위한 청정기술 개발의 방향을 고찰하고자 한다.

화학물질을 취급하는 중 소업체의 경우 누출 사고 시 자동화 시스템이 갖춰진 안전장치에 의한 방재체계가 아닌 근로자에 의한 긴급 방재가 주로 이루어져 인명 환경피해 등의 발생 가능성이 높다. 본 연구는 이러한 한계점을 개선하기 위해 화학물질 취급공정 중 누출 사고 발생 빈도에 따라 누출 예상지점에 선별적으로 쉽게 탈 부착이 가능한 긴급 확산방재시스템에 대해 연구하였다. 이를 통해 사고대응이 상대적으로 취약한 중소기업의 화학사고를 시스템적으로 예방하여 화학물질 누출사고에 의한 인명, 환경피해를 방지할 수 있다.
