In this study, we developed emission factors from solid-fuel fired combustors. In order to increase the reliability of emission factors, we conducted a joint research with the Institute of Health and Environment. As a result, PM average concentration was $8.19mg/m^3$. $SO_2$ and $NO_x$ were respectively 8.46 ppm, 50.64 ppm. Hazardous air pollutants such as Cr, Pb and Hg were detected in trace amounts continuously for 2 years in some solid-fuel fired combustors. The emission factors for the three kinds of PM, $SO_x$, $NO_x$ were developed based on the measurement data. For the PM emission factors, that of SRF was 15.93 g/kg and that of Bio-SRF was 14.18 g/kg. Compared with those of US. EPA, emission factors of this study showed the results of low values. $SO_x$ emission factors were 4.42 g/kg for SRF and 1.39 g/kg for Bio-SRF. $NO_x$ emission factors were 13.21 g/kg and 4.43 g/kg, respectively. Through the results of this study, we would support atmospheric administration policies such as the emission factor notification revision.

Purpose: To develop the stress coping behavior measurement scale(SCBMS) for the workers in manufacturing industry. Methods: Developing of SCBMS was based on job stress and psycho-social health status. Job stress and psycho-social health status were estimated by using the Karasek's job content questionnaire (JCQ) and the general health questionnaire (GHQ-28), and the general characteristics for subjects were estimated by self-reported questionnaire and interview. Result: The subjects were 456 male workers who had never been occupationally exposed to hazardous chemical and other materials, was mean age 31.27 years and mean work duration was 4.81 years. As a result of factor analysis for developed stress coping questionnaire, four factors were extracted such as inactive, active, health and emotional behavior from 15 question items of stress coping questionnaire. Fifteen items passed for item internal consistency (100% success rate) and item discriminant validity (100% success rate). Cronbach's alpha coefficient for each factor ranged from 0.56 to 0.77. The active behavior correlated positively with job demand of JCQ (r=0.12, p<0.05), but total GHQ-28 was negatively correlation (r=-0.24, p<0.01), respectively. Conclusion: These results demonstrated the reliability and validity of SCBMS. Thus, the results may prove to be a useful assessment tool in evaluating stress coping behavior.

Purpose: This study was conducted to improve the working conditions of dental technicians, through survey for working conditions related to perform one's duty, the extent of personal exposure to substances hazardous and complaint rate and factor of job stress and subjective symptom on musculoskeletal disorders. Methods: Using four types of structured questionnaires: social and demographic factor; the actual conditions of working space; working conditions; and characteristics of dental technicians, respondents filled in the questionnaires and the results were analyzed statistically. Results: The evaluation of comfort in working place found that satisfaction level on indoor noise was the lowest with 2.6 on a five-point scale and privacy space followed 2.8 point. In reasons for dissatisfaction with job, over workload ranked the highest by 25.4% and role overload had the highest by 39.5% in job stress factors. Based on the results, we could draw conclusion that dental technicians were unsatisfied with role overload and heavy workload a day. In reasons for musculoskeletal symptom prevalence, long-patient work was the highest by 24.1%. It was thought to cause dental technicians need deep procession and long-patient work due to the nature of their job. Conclusion: In conclusion, noise reduction and privacy space are required to improve job efficiency of dental technicians. In addition; we need to think of ways to increase the job satisfaction with adequate rest while deep procession and long-patient working.

Bioconcentration Factor (BCF) is known as important criteria for ecotoxicology on hazardous chemicals. But there is no standard method for determining BCF and reported BCFs were slightly different in accordance with authors. This study was performed with aims to determine BCFs on BPMC and Carbaryl. Carassius auratus(goldfish) be chosen as test organism and test period were 3-day, 5-day and 10-day. Extract solvents were n-hexane and acetonitrile. GC-ECD was used to detecting carbamates. The obtained results were as follows: 1. It was possible to determine short term BCF$_s$ of Carbaryl or BPMC through relatively simple procedure. 2. BCF$_3$ of Carbaryl in concentration of 1, 2, 5, 10 ppm were 0.34 $\pm$ 0.06, 0.18 $\pm$ 0.02, 0.10 $\pm$ 0.01, 0.06 $\pm$ 0.01 respectively. BCF$_5$ of Carbaryl were 0.34 $\pm$ 0.05, 0.18 $\pm$ 0.02, 0.13 $\pm$ 0.01 and 0.07 $\pm$ 0.01, BCF$_{10}3$ of Carbaryl were 0.45 $\pm$ 0.05, 0.27 $\pm$ 0.02, 0.16 $\pm$ 0.02 and 0.09 $\pm$ 0.01. BCF$_3$ of BPMC in concentration of 1, 2, 5 ppm were 4.66 $\pm$ 0.17, 2.64 $\pm$ 0.49, 1.88 $\pm$ 0.24 respectively. BCF$_5$ of BPMC were 4.09 $\pm$ 0.50, 2.42 $\pm$ 0.37 and 1.83 $\pm$ 0.15. 3. BCF$_s$ of BPMC were decreased as increasing concentration. However, BPMC concentration in fish were increased in contrast to BCF. But more concentrated BPMC was found in fish 3-day test than found concentration in fish 5-day test. 4. Same trend appeared in Carbaryl. BCF$_s$ of Carbaryl were decreased as increasing concentration and prolonging test period. But found Carbaryl concentration in fish were increased. 5. BCF$_s$ of BPMC were higher than that of Carbaryl by 10 times, in spite of the physicochemical properties of the two carbamates were similar to each other. Further study is recommended to find out the reason of the difference.

Background: This study aims to analyze radiation safety management and regulatory perceptions, focusing on companies that must report radiation sources. The intent is to reduce the gap between regulation measures and addressing real concerns while improving practical safety management measures and regulations for all stakeholders. Materials and Methods: Radiation safety officers at a total of 244 reporting companies using radiation generators (79.8%) and sealed radioisotopes (15.1%) were surveyed using a questionnaire. Results and Discussion: The perception that regulation is stronger than the actual risk of the radiation source used was 3.47 points (out of 5 points), indicating a score above average. The most important factors and considerations were education and training (48%) as a human factor, safety devices of the radiation source (71.3%) as a hazardous material factor, the use of radiation (50.8%) as an organizational environment, and the radiation effect of nearby facilities (67.2%) as a physical environment. Radiation safety management educational experience (F= 5.030, p< 0.01), the group with high subjective knowledge (t= 6.017, p< 0.001), and the group with high objective knowledge (t= 1.989, p< 0.05) was found to be better at radiation safety management. Conclusion: It is necessary to standardize the educational experience regarding radiation safety management because each staff member has individual differences in educational experience. It is necessary to provide more information on how to solve radiation accidents via educational content. Applying radiation safety regulations based on the factors that significantly affect radiation safety management shown in this survey will help improve safety.

선진국에서 유해물질을 함유하는 소비자 제품의 위해성 관리를 위해 CONSEXPO등의 다양한 소비자 노출평가 모델을 개발하여 소비자 제품에 함유된 유해화학물질의 노출로 인한 위해도를 평가하고 이를 규제 기준의 설정근거로 활용하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 다양한 시나리오에 적용할 수 있는 노출평가 모델을 검토하고 대상 제품을 선정하여 적정 모델을 적용하여 위해성 평가 단계에 따라 위해성 평가를 하여 제품 별 위해성 평가 기법을 마련하고자 하였다. 작성된 노출 시나리오를 바탕으로 노출 계수를 선정한 뒤 CONSEXPO 노출평가 모델을 기반으로 하여 알고리즘을 작성 한 결과 프탈레이트류의 경우 일부 장판에서 전이량이 검출되었으나 함량과 전이량의 상관관계를 살펴본 결과 r-square 0.0065으로 상관관계가 거의 없는 것으로 나타나, 이 결과를 기준으로 함량 기준값을 산출하는 것은 무리가 있다고 사료되며 현행제품기준을 유지하는 것이 무방할 것으로 판단된다. 휘발성유기화합물 또한 인체에 유해하지 않은 것으로 나타났으므로 현행 기준을 준수 할 경우 큰 무리가 없을 것으로 것을 판단, 새로운 기준을 제시 하지 않았다. 중금속의 경우 전이량이 검출되지 않았으므로 위해성 평가는 수행하지 않았다. 따라서 경피노출로 인한 인체의 유해가능성은 매우 적을 것으로 판단할 수 있다.

SIS는 공정안전시스템 분야에서 폭넓게 활용될 수 있는 계장안전시스템이다. SIS는 유해화학물질 누출 사고로부터 인간, 물질적 자산 그리고 환경에 미치는 피해를 줄이기 위해 필수적이다. 현재 전기, 전자 그리고 프로그래밍 가능한 전자 (E / E/ PE) 장치가 기계, 공압 및 유압 시스템과 상호 작용하는 통합 안전 시스템은 IEC 61508과 같은 국제 안전 표준을 따르도록 되어있다. IEC 61508은 안전 수명주기의 모든 사항을 규정한다. SIS 지원 도구 없이 안전 수명주기에 따라 IEC 61508의 요구 사항을 충족시키는 것은 복잡한 일이다. 본 연구에서는, 사용자가 보다 쉽게 안전 수명주기의 설계 단계를 구현할 수 있도록 도움을 줄 수 있는 On-Line SIS 지원 도구를 제시하였다. On-Line SIS 지원 도구는 데이터 읽기 및 수정 시스템과 통합될 수 있는 안드로이드 응용 프로그램의 형태로 되어있다. 이 도구는 안전 수명주기의 설계 단계에서 소요되는 계산 시간을 줄이고 계산 과정에서 발생할 수 있는 오류를 줄인다. 또한 On-Line SIS 지원 도구는 비용 요소에 근거한 최적화 접근법을 제시할 수 있으며, multi-objective GA를 사용하여 최적의 솔루션 조합을 찾을 수 있도록 하였다.

위험물질에 의한 제조물을 취급하는 설비와 시설은 대부분 고온, 고압으로 공정을 운전을 한다. 이로 인해 화재폭발로 인한 위험성이 증대되고 있다. 특히, 폭발 사고는 석유 화학 가스설비 등 위험물 시설의 가장 주된 위험요인으로 작용하고 있으며, 그 중, 프로필렌은 석유화학 플랜트의 기초 원료 및 첨가 중합반응에 의한 합성물질을 제조하는 현장에서 많이 사용되고 있다. 산소농도의 변화에 대한 폭발범위를 구함으로써 프로필렌을 사용하는 사업장에서 발생 될 수 있는 폭발을 예방하기 위하여 불활성 가스인 $CO_2$를 이용하여 온도와 압력의 변화에 따라 산소농도의 변화에 대한 폭발범위를 구하였다. 온도는 $25^{\circ}C$, $100^{\circ}C$, $200^{\circ}C$로 변화시켜 측정하였으며, 용기 내 압력을 $1.0kgf/cm^2.G$, $1.5kgf/cm^2.G$, $2.0kgf/cm^2.G$, $2.5kgf/cm^2.G$로 $CO_2$를 가압시켜 측정하였다. 폭발한계는 온도, 압력 및 산소농도와 관계가 있으며, 온도와 압력이 높아질수록 최소산소농도는 낮아지고, 산소농도가 낮아질수록 폭발범위는 좁아졌다. 또한, 최소산소농도 이하의 농도에서는 프로필렌의 증기와 점화원이 존재하여도 폭발이 발생하지 않는 것을 알 수 있다.

The flammable liquid conductivity is an important factor in determining the generation of electrostatic in fire and explosion hazardous areas, so it is necessary to study the physical properties of flammable liquids. In particular, the relevant liquid conductivity in the process of handling flammable liquids in relation to the risk assessment and risk control in fire and explosion hazard areas, such as chemical plants, is classified as a main evaluation item according to the IEC standard, and it is necessary to have flammable liquid conductivity measuring devices and related data are required depending on the handling conditions of the material, such as temperature and mixing ratio for preventing the fire and explosion related to electrostatic. In addition, IEC 60079-32-2 [Explosive Atmospheres-Part 32-2 (Electrostatic hazards-Tests)] refers to the measuring device standard and the conductivity of a single substance. It was concluded that there is no measurement data according to the handling conditions such as mixing ratio of flammable liquid and temperature together with the use and measurement examples. We have developed the measurement reliability by improving the structure, material and measurement method of measuring device by referring to the IEC standard. We have developed a measurement device that is developed and manufactured by itself. The test results of flammable liquid conductivity measurement and the data of the NFPA 77 (Recommended Practice on Static Electricity) Annex B Table B.2 Static Electric Characteristic of Liquids were compared and verified by conducting the conductivity measurement of the flammable liquid handled in the fire and explosion hazardous place by using Measuring / Data Acquisition / Processing / PC Communication. It will contribute to the prevention of static electricity related disaster by taking preliminary measures for fire and explosion prevention by providing technical guidance for static electricity risk assessment and risk control through flammable liquid conductivity measurement experiment. In addition, based on the experimental results, it is possible to create a big data base by constructing electrostatic physical characteristic data of flammable liquids by process and material. Also, it is analyzed that it will contribute to the foundation composition for adding the specific information of conductivity of flammable liquid to the physical and chemical characteristics of MSDS.
