본 연구의 목적은 중추신경계 반응과 자율신경계 반응을 이용하여 향이 인간에 미치는 영향을 평가하고자 하는 것이다. 본 연구는 20-26세의 남자 10명, 여자 10명으로 구성된 피험자를 대상으로 이루어졌고, 100% Rose oil bulgrian, Lemon oil misitano, Jasmine abs., Lavender oil france (KIMEX.co.ltd) 등 4가지의 향을 사용하여 실험을 수행하였다. 전두엽 (Fz)과 두정엽 (Cz)에서 EEG를 기록하여 대역별 relative power spectrum 값을 구하고 $\alpha$대역에 대한 $\beta$대역의 비($\beta$/$\alpha$)를 통하여 향에 대한 감성 평가를 시도하였다. 또한 자율신경계 반응은 심전도, 피부온도, 피부저항의 생리신호를 측정하였다. 주관적 평가는 향의 세부적인 이미지를 나타내는 후각 감성 형용사를 이용하여, 양극의 7점 척도 25문항, 단극의 5점 척도 40문항, 그리고 각 향의 전반적인 선호도를 묻는 양극의 7점 척도 2문항으로 구성하여 자극제시 전, 후에 각각 실시하였다. 전체적으로 피험자들은 Lemon을 가장 쾌하고 연하다는 평가를, Rose를 가장 불쾌하며 진하다고 평가하였다. $\beta$/$\alpha$의 비는 쾌하고 연할수록 감소하였고 불쾌하고 진할수록 증가하였다. 또한 심박 변화율과 피부온도는 쾌하고 연할수록 감소하였고, 불쾌할수록 반대 결과를 나타내었다. 결론적으로 쾌하고 연한 향과 불쾌하고 진한 향 사이에 $\beta$/$\alpha$의 비와 자율 신경계 반응의 차이를 관찰할 수 있었다.

판매직에 종사하는 여성을 대상으로 100%의 Basil oil, Lavender oil, Lemon oil, Jasmin oil, Ylang-ylang oil (KIMEX co. Ltd), Skatole의 총 6가지 종류의 천연향을 사용하여 자극하였을 때의 상호 정보량을 분석, 비교하였다. 그 결과, 선호도가 낮은 Basil과 Skatole을 자극할 때 무향에 비해 상호 정보량이 많고, 향간의 비교에서도 선호도가 낮은 향에 대한 상호 정보량이 선호도가 높은 향에 비해 더 많음을 보여주었다. 이는 뇌에서 상호 정보량이 향에 대한 선호도와 관련이 있고, 특히 선호도가 낮은 향의 경우, 정보량의 증가 경향이 확인되었다.

Objective: This study was carried out for the purpose of identifying major substances contributing to the production of odor and evaluating the characteristic of odors. Methods: Complex odor and 17 odorous compounds were measured at 18 waste transfer stations located in Seoul. Results: The dilution ratio value of complex odor ranged from 4 to 30 times in the boundary layer of 18 waste transfer stations. At 6 measurement points among the 18 waste transfer stations, the dilution ratio values exceeded standards (15 times). When the results were evaluated in terms of their contribution to the formation of malodor, the patterns indicated that the highest concentration values in the residential waste disposal process were of i-valeraldehyde and acetaldehyde, while butyraldehyde and acetaldehyde accounted for a large proportion of odorous compounds from the waste recycling process. Conclusions: It was found that butyraldehyde and acetaldehyde were the primary compounds released from the food waste disposal process. Overall, aldehyde compounds were the greatest contributor to detectable odor intensity emitted at the waste transfer stations.

HS, Ammonia, CH$_4$, VOCs, Microorganism, Bacteria etc produced from swineries or henhouses are known to prevent the growth of livestock. Moreover, they give an unpleasant feeling to the workers. In this study, a methodology to remove odors and toxic gases by oxidation of ozone was thus accomplished. However, most ozone generators which use the atmospheric surrounding air have problems of contamination of electrode for discharge. Therefore in this work, a wire-cylinder type plasma reactor with DC voltage has been used both in a laboratory scale test and in the real swinery to solve the existing problems. About 6 cm of electrode gap could decrease the attachment of dusts, humid aerosols and other polymers, which are contained in the air. This compact designed device could produce ozone to oxidize and remove the air pollutants. But the amount of ozone was not large enough to be harmful to human Health. Also, the concentration of ozone was able to be varied by the input voltage. which makes it available for the proposed system to be installed in various kinds of pig houses. With this device, at maximum 43 mg/㎥ (20 ppm) of ozone could be produced at 40 ㎸ input voltage (consumed energy was 0.1 Wh/㎥). A program was also made in this work to calculate the optimum parameters for design of a plasma reactor in wide range of conditions.

In this study, we attempted to evaluate the relationship between air dilution sensory test and instrumental detection method for individual odorous compound. For the purpose of our comparative study, we conducted the analysis of malodor on total of 46 samples collected from both industrial and food waste sectors using the two independent approaches. The results of instrumental analyses were explained after modification to several parameters such as: the sum of odor concentration (SOC), sum of odor quotient (SOQ) and sum of odor intensity (SOI). When we compared dilution ratio values (DRV) of threshold limit (TL) with the modified instrumental data sets, pearson coefficient of SOC, SOQ, and SOI were 0.556 (p=5.83E-05), 0.911 (p=9.64E-19) and 0.847 (p=8.93E-14), respectively. The results of this study thus suggest that the DRV of TL sensitively reflects odor strength measured intuitive.

Excessive amounts of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and odorants discharged into the environment are highly dangerous to human health as well as to ecological systems. Biological treatments of waste gas streams, called biofiltration, containing VOCs and odorous compounds has gained much attention because biofilters are more cost effective and environmentally friendly than conventional air pollution control technologies. This review provides an overview of biotrickling filtration, which is a type of biofiltration including continuous trickled-water flow inside filter media, for VOC and odor abatement. The configuration, design, cost effectiveness, removal capacity and environmental impact of this techniques and the future research and development needs in this area are all considered.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to enhance sales promotion efficiency for using solid refuse fuel facilities. Renewable energy technology using Solid Refuse Fuel (SRF) is an economic efficiency technology that recovers waste by burning various wastes. A survey on the pollutants discharged from the solid fuels facilities was investigated so that the SRF facilities could be expanded, distributed and reflected in the policy. Research design, data, and methodology: In this study, 9 business sites using SRF and Bio-SRF as main raw materials were investigated for 2 years. The characteristics of target business sites such as the type of fuel used, combustion method, combustion temperature, daily fuel consumption and environmental prevention facilities were studied. Results: The average pollution & ammonia concentration of Bio-SRF facilities was found to be 88.15% higher than that of SRF facilities. But the average acetaldehyde concentration of SRF facilities was found to be 88.15% higher than that of Bio-SRF facilities. Conclusions: The main issue is how much electric power generation using combustible materials affects air pollution. The waste recycling law provides the standard value according to the fuel property, but there is a considerable gap with the mixed fuel. Therefore, for efficient utilization of facilities using solid fuel products, additional research is needed to improve the distribution structure of exhaust pollutants is needed.

Medicinal fungi, taken whole or as various forms of extracts, have been used to alleviate, cure or prevent human ailments since pre-historic times. In particular, Asian cultures have incorporated a variety of mushrooms into their medical practices. Chemically pure, bioactive metabolites from fungi have been a mainstay of modern pharmacological research and in addition to antibiotics, include anticancer agents, immunosuppressants, enzyme inhibitors, antagonist and agonists of hormones, and a variety of psychotropic substances. However, to date not many studies have focused on the possible health benefits of odorant volatile organic compounds (i.e., gas phase compounds). An analysis of these compounds for their health related effects will expand the range of compounds available for the treatment of chronic and acute diseases. This review highlights phenolic acids and monoterpenes from Asian medicinal mushrooms (AMMs), which not only produce pleasant odors but also have antioxidant and antibacterial effects. Odorant bioactive volatile phase compounds from medicinal mushrooms remain an essentially untapped source for future medicines, and AMMs remain a promising resource for future pharmacological research.
