Hazardous wastes released into the general environment are of concern to the public and to public health authorities. In response to this concern, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, as amended (commonly called Superfund), was enacted in 1980 to provide a framework for environmental, public health, and legal actions concerning uncontrolled releases of hazardous substances. The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) was created by Superfund to address the public health issues of hazardous wastes in the community environment. Two key Agency programs, Public Health Assessments and Toxicological Profiles, are designed to assess the risk to human health of exposures to hazardous substances that migrate from waste sites or through emergency releases (e.g., chemical spills). The Agency's public health assessment is a structured process that permits ATSDR to identify which waste sites or other point sources require traditional public health actions (e.g.. human exposure studies, health studies, registries, health surveillance, health advisories). The ATSDR qualitative public health assessment complements the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's quantitative risk assessment. For Superfund purposes, both assessments are sitespecific. ATSDR's toxicological profiles are prepared for priority hazardous substances found most frequently at Superfund sites. Each profile presents the current toxicologic and human health effects information about the substance being profiled. Each profile also contains Minimal Risk Levels (MRLs), a type of risk assessment value. This paper covers ATSDR's experience in conducting public health assessments and developing MRLs, and it relates this experience to recommendations on how to improve chemical risk assessments.

We developed analytical methods using high performance chromatography (HPLC) and liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for the simultaneous determination of 80 unapproved compounds in dietary supplements. The target compounds for analysis were unapproved ingredients (e.g., pharmaceuticals) that have potential adverse effects on consumers owing to accidental misuse, overuse, and interaction with other medication in dietary supplement. Two analytical methods were tested to identify the optimal validation results according to AOAC guideline. As a result, limit of quantification (LOQ) was 0.14-0.5 ㎍ mL^-1; linearity (r²) was ≥ 0.99; accuracy (expressed as recovery) was 78.9-114%; precision (relative standard deviation) was ≤ 4.28% in the HPLC method. In the LC-MS/MS method, LOQ was 0.01-2 ng mL^-1, linearity (r²) was ≥0.98, accuracy was 71.7-119%; precision was ≤ 12.5%. The developed methods were applied to 51 dietary supplements collected from 2019 to 2021 through MFDS alert system. Based on our previous monitoring study, major compounds were icariin, sibutramine, yohimbine, sildenafil, tadalafil, sennosides (A, B), cascarosides (A, B, C, D), and phenolphthalein. In this study, we re-analyzed samples of detected compounds, and evaluated the statistical difference using Bland-Altman analysis to compare two analytical approaches between HPLC and LC-MS/MS. These results showed a good agreement between two methods that can be used to monitor the unapproved ingredients in dietary supplements. The developed two methods are complementarily suitable for monitoring the adulteration of 80 unapproved compounds in dietary supplements.

작물을 데치거나 국을 끓여 먹는 과정에서의 잔류농약 경감을 조사하기 위해 비닐하우스에서 재배하면서 농약을 살포한 시금치 (bifenthrin, metalaxyl, procymidone), 근대(bifenthrin, imidacloprid), 아욱(bifenthrin, chlorpyrifos, imidacloprid)을 세척하고 물에 넣고 끓여(시금치: 1분, 3분, 5분, 근대: 3분, 6분, 9분, 아욱: 10분, 20분, 30분) 잔류농약 제거율을 조사하였다. Bifenthrin, procymidone은 세척에 의해 각각 $58{\sim}64%$, 82%제거되었고 끓임에 의해 제거율이 유효하게 변하지 않았다. Imidacloprid의 경우 근대에서 43%, 아욱에서 12%가 세척에 의해 제거되었으며 끓임에 의해 94%까지 크게 제거되었다. Metalaxyl, chlorpyrifos는 세척에 의해 각각 69%, 11%가 제거되었고 끓임에 의해 98%, 79%까지 유효하게 제거되었다. 한편 국을 끓여 먹을 때를 고려하여 끓이는 과정에서 사용된 물과 작물체를 합하여 제거율을 조사했을 때는 아욱의 imidacloprid와 chloropyrifos만이 끓임에 의해 효과적으로 제거되었고($12%{\rightarrow}34{\sim}40%$, $11%{\rightarrow}76{\sim}78%$) 다른 농약들은 세척과 차이가 없었다. 이러한 농약들은 작물체를 물에서 끓이는 과정에서 물로 이동되었으나 끓임에 의해 제거되지 않고 물속에 남아 있는 것으로 판단되었다.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate changes among the nine kinds of reduction chemical substances in Korea over the period of 2008-2017. We will define basic data for improving the management methods for reducing chemical substances. Methods: A survey of hazardous pollutant emissions for 2008-2017 was conducted through the pollutant Release and Transfer Register homepage. Nine kinds of designated reduction chemical substances (Benzene, Vinyl chloride, Trichloro ethylene, 1,3-butadiene, Dichloro methane, Tetrachloro ethylene, N,N-dimethylformamide, Acrylo nitrile, and Chloroform) provided the study subjects. The emission of hazardous chemicals and health effects used the National Health Statistics and Integrated Chemicals Information System (ICIS) as a reference. Results: Hazardous pollutant emissions increased by 1.2 times over the past decade, and nine types of reduction chemical substances increased by 1.6 times. By region, the emissions of reduction chemical substances over the last 10 years were in the order of Chungbuk, Gyeonggi, and Gyeongbuk. Emissions of Dichloro methane was the highest in Chungbuk and Gyeongbuk. N,N-dimethylformamide was the highest in Gyeonggi. Carcinogen pollutant emissions showed a tendency to increase continuously. In addition, group 1 carcinogen emissions showed a tendency to decrease. Conclusion: In the last decade, the amount of hazardous chemical emissions has been continuously increasing. Hazardous chemical emissions require facility improvement for continuous emissions reduction. More research on reduction of emissions is needed.

Objectives: This study was performed in order to establish reliable and relative selection criteria for hazardous substances requiring management(HSRM) in the Occupational Safety and Health Act in Korea. Methods: To determine the relative criteria and weight of evidence for HSRM, we analyzed the difference between the selection method of priority substances in studies by KOSHA(Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency) and the European Union Risk Ranking Method(EURAM). In addition, 597 hazardous substances with exposure limit valueswereanalyzed and the posted health hazards classification by MOEL(Ministry of Employee and Labor), MOE(Ministry of Environment), and EU CLP(Classification, Labelling and Packaging regulation) were compared based on GHS(Globally Harmonized System of classification and labelling of chemicals) criteria. The existing HSRM(167 substances) were evaluated for suitability by the proposed criteria in this study. Results: As a result of this study, the criteria and procedures for selecting HSRM in the Occupational Safety and Health Act were arranged utilizing GHS health hazard classification results, occupational disease cases and domestic use situations. Conclusions: The applicability of the proposed criteria was proved via the evaluation of existing HSRM(167 substances). Most HSRM (161 substances) were found to correspond to a significant health effect or substantial health effect. The question of whether to include the six substances that have been found to have general health effects as HSRM would be require further research.

본 연구는 비허용 품목인 유지종실류 5종(달맞이꽃씨, 홍화씨, 유채씨, 해바라기씨 및 아마씨)을 선정하여 광자극발광법(PSL), 열발광법(TL), 전자스핀공명법(ESR) 및 기체크로마토그래프/질량분석법(GC/MS)을 활용하여 검지 특성 연구를 수행하였다. PSL 및 TL 측정 결과, 5종 모두 적용 가능성이 높은 것으로 판단하였다. ESR 분석결과는 5종 모두 조사시료에서 조사유래의 특이 ESR signal이 관찰되지 않아 적용 가능성이 낮다고 판단하였다. GC/MS 분석 결과, 홍화씨, 유채씨, 해바라기씨 및 아마씨의 경우에는 조사 유래의 hydrocarbon류가 검출되어 적용 가능성이 높은 것으로 판단하였다. 특히, oleic acid에서 유도된 8-heptadecene ($C_{17:1}$), 1,7-hexadecadiene ($C_{16:2}$)이 조사 여부를 확인하는 화학적 마커로 활용 가능성이 높았다. 달맞이꽃씨 경우에는 oleic acid에서 유도된 hydrocarbon류가 검출되지 않아 적용 가능성이 낮다고 판단하였다. 또한, 달맞이꽃씨, 홍화씨 및 해바라기씨에서 감마리놀렌산의 주요 원료인 linoleic acid에서 유도된 1,7,10-hexadecatriene ($C_{16:3}$)과 6,9-heptadecadiene ($C_{16:3}$)이 검출되어 조사여부를 확인하는 화학적 검지 마커로 활용 가능성이 높다고 판단하였다. 본 연구 결과를 통해 유지종실류 5종에 대한 적용 가능성 및 다중분석 체계(PSL-TL-GC/MS)를 확립하였다.

The detection characteristics of irradiated spices were investigated depending on radiation sources and doses by photostimulated luminescence (PSL) and Thermoluminescence (TL). 6 kinds of spices (turmeric, onion powder, red pepper, basil, parsley, black pepper) were irradiated at 0 to 10 kGy under ambient conditions by both a $^{60}Co$ gamma irradiator and an electron beam (EB) accelerator, respectively. The PSL analysis showed negative results for non-irradiated spices, while irradiated spices gave intermediate and positive value, which presented the limited potential of PSL technique. In TL measurement, TL glow curves on non-irradiated samples appeared at about $300^{\circ}C$ with low intensity. All irradiated samples were easily distinguishable through radiation-specific strong TL glow curves with maximum peak in range of $150{\sim}200^{\circ}C$. TL ratio ($TL_1/TL_2$) obtained by a re-irradiation step could verify the detection result of $TL_1$ glow curves, showing ratios lower than 0.1 in the non-irradiated sample and higher than 0.1 in irradiated ones. Therefore, in PSL measurement, the identification of irradiated spices showed more clear results in electron beam irradiated samples. TL analysis showed obvious difference between non-irradiated and irradiated samples in gamma ray and electron beam irradiated samples.
