We report a new PCNB-degrading strain (PCNB-2) that is able to utilize and grow on PCNB (100 ppm) as a sole carbon source. This strain was identified as Alcaligenes xylosoxidans based upon 16S rDNA sequence analysis, API 20 NE tests and cell membrane lipid analysis. The new PCNB degrader Alcaligenes xylosoxidans PCNB-2 could find use in bioremediation of PCNB, which is environmentally persistent.

살균제인 pentachloronitrobenzene(PCNB)의 직업적 노출을 위한 TLV-TWA를 0.5 mg/$m^3$으로 권고하였다. 이 수준은 간에 영향을 미치는 것을 최소화하기 위한 수준이다 피부자극과 피부 흡수에 관한 것은 증명되지 않았다. PCNB에 대한 발암가능성을 흰쥐와 생쥐를 대상으로 생물학적 검정을 한 결과, 생쥐에서 양성이었다. 이러한 결과는 생물학적 검정에 사용한 PCNB가 공업용이었고 불순물로 포함된 hexachlorobenzene에 의해 암이 유발된 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서 FCNB 물질은 발암성 유발 인자(A4;Not Classifiable as a Human Carcinogen)로 권고하였다. PCNB의 Skin, SEN notation, TLV-STEL에 관한 정보는 충분한 데이터가 확보되지 않아 제공되지 못하고 있다.

After selecting four places in the main shellfish habitat, 118 items of the sample were collected in the mud flat from August to October in 1983, in order to analyze organochlorine pesticide residues by a gas chromatograph equipped with an electron capture detector. The results obtained were summarized as follows; ${\alpha}-BHC,\;{\gamma}-BHC\;&\;PCNB,\;heptachlor,\;{\gamma}-endosulfan,\;{\beta}-endosulfan,$ p, p'-DDE, dieldrin, o, p'-DDT and p, p'-DDT were detected in the range from 2 to 98 percent and their levels of mean residues ranged from trace to 0.041ppm, in the order of ${\gamma}-BHC\;&\;PCNB,\;{\alpha}-BHC,\;heptachlor{\approx}{\alpha}-endosulfan{\approx}p, p`-DDE{\approx}dieldrin{\approx}{\beta}-endosulfan{\approx}$o, p'-DDT, and p, p'-DDT. The mean of total residues in regions was Kangjin(0.058ppm), Kwangyang(0.080ppm), Yoch'on (0.016ppm), and Yonggwang(0.75ppm). ${\gamma}-BHC\;&\;PCNB$ peak were separated by column packed with DC-200. PCNB was identified by making a PCA(pentachloroaniline), the reduced derivative of PCNB, and this confirmed that PCNB residues were detected in the soil sample.

1. The number of Rhizoctonia solani, Pythium debaryanum, Fusarium and Trichoderma was detected by the modification of Boosails special plating method when ginseng seed bed was drenched with Captan, Difolatan, Zineb, Maneb and PCNB at weekly intervals. Pythium debaryanum Hesse was described for the first time on Panax ginseng in Korea. 2. The number of Rhizoctonia solani and Pythium debaryanum was decreased gradually as the geason Progressed, whereas that of Fusarium and rrichcderma was increased. 3, The number of Rhixoctonia solani was greatly reduced by PCNB, and soils treated with other fungicides generally showed less Rhizoctonie solani than in the control. The number of Pythium debaryanum was significantly reduced by Zineb, Maneb, followed by Captan and Difolatan. None of the fungicids reduced the number of Fusarium colonies in the fourth week. Effects of the chemicals on Trichoderma were not statistically significant. 4. More fresh weight of the seedling roots was obtained using Difolatan, Maneb and PCNB. Phytotoxicity was noted with Maneb, Zineb and Captan after the third treatment.

In replicated field trials, the efficacy of pentachloronitrobenzene (PCNB; quintozene) for control of damping-off of ginseng seedlings was found to be affected by timing of application and formulation. Application at the time of seeding and prior to placement of straw mulch was found to provide the moat consistent level of disease control. However, decline in plant stand during the four-year production cycle resulted in most treatments providing similar levels of plant populations at harvest. Soil residues of pentachloronitrobenzene were generally highest (1 $\mu\textrm{g}$ PCNB/g soil) in those treatments that exhibited the highest levels of disease control in the seedling year. Straw contained high levels of quintozene after application. Beet seed assays with artificially-infested soils indicated that current use rates provide an amount of product suitable for high levels of disease control.

Composite soil samples from 236 sites representing paddy field, up-land, orchard and plastic film house were examined for organochlorine residues by GLC-ECD. Detection frequencies and residual levels of most persistent organochlorine residues in the soil samples were found to depend on the cropping practices. Highest organochlorine residues were found in orchard soils and followed, in decreasing order, plastic film house, up-land and paddy field soils. ${\alpha}-Endosulfan$, dieldrin, p,p'-DDD and p,p'-DDT were responsible for the observed high organochlorine residues in the orchard soils. ${\alpha}-BHC$ and ${\gamma}-BHC$ were detected in all 236 soil samples. The mean residue levels of both BHC isomers were, however, remained fairly low. Residues of PCNB and ${\alpha}-endosulfan$ in native soils are reported, for the first time, in present work. PCNB was present in up-land plastic film house soils while ${\alpha}-endosulfan$ was found in all agricultural soils studied. High levels of p,p'-DDT and dieldrin were discussed in relation to crops cultivated, amount and duration of the pesticides usage. Need for continued observations on the persistent residue of pesticides in soils, already banned for general use, is emphasized.

Background : Identification of the histologic cell type of lung cancer is important because it is related to the treatment modality and prognosis. Currently, many diagnostic methods are used to determine the cell type. We have studied to evaluate the histologic accuracy of each diagnostic methods in lung cancer. Method : 168 cases were analysed retrospectively, who underwent curative thoracotomy for lung cancer in Seoul National University Hospital from January, 1994 to February, 1997. Sputum cytology, percutaneous needle aspiration(PCNA), percutaneous needle biopsy(PCNB), bronchial washing cytology and flexible bronchoscopic biopsy were evaluated respectively. The k coefficient was applied to evaluate the degree of concordance between the histologic diagnosis obtained by each methods and the one derived from thoracotomy. Results : The k value in sputum cytology was 0.86. In the 34 cases with squamous cell carcinoma(SQ), 32 cases were finally diagnosed as having such by thoracotomy. 7 of the 8 cases with adenocarcinoma(AD) turned out to have the same. The k value in PCNA was 0.51. In the 31 cases with SQ, only 14 cases were finally diagnosed as having such. All of the 3 cases with small cell carcinoma(SC) turned out to have the same. The k value in PCNB was 0.77. The diagnosis was correct in 13 of the 16 patients with SQ and in 30 of the 32 cases with AD. The k value in bronchial washing cytology was 1.0. In all of the 29 cases with SQ and all of the 7 cases with AD, the diagnosis was correct. The k value in flexible bronchoscopic biopsy was 0.77. The diagnosis was correct in 51 of the 52 cases with SQ and in 1 of the 2 cases with SC. Conclusion : The concordance rate with the final histologic diagnosis in sputum cytology, PCNB, bronchial washing cytology and flexible bronchoscopic biopsy were excellent ($k{\geq}0.75$), while that in PCNA was fair (k=0.53). Because PCNA showed lower concordance rate than other diagnostic methods, PCNA is recommended to perform with PCNB.

Dicarboximide-resistant isolates of Monilinia fructicola grew readily on media amended with dicarbosimide fungicides, and showed cross-resistance to pentachlo-ronitrobenzene (PCNB). The fitness of resistant isolates was inferior to that of sensitive isolates. Mycelial growth on fungicide-free medium was not significantly different between the dicarboximide-resistant and sensitive isolates. The originally high $\textrm{EC}_{50}$ values of the resistant isolate decreased after storage for 16 weeks at $4^{\circ}$. After inoculation with the mixture of spore suspensions of resistant and sensitive isolates, the re-isolation rate of the resistant spores was significantly reduced regardless of the mixing ratio. From the results, it could be concluded that the competitive ability of the resistant isolates is inferior to the sensitive ones.

Application of steam distillation on the analysis of pesticide residue in soil, water and crops was studied using the nitrogen distillation apparatus. Most pesticides which were extracted by organic solvents could be analyzed by the steam distillation method. For instance, distillations of PCNB, ${\gamma}-BHC$, ${\alpha}-or$ ${\beta}-endosulfan$, IBP, diazinon, fenthion, fenitrothion, alachlor, butachlor, pretilachlor, metolachlor, pendimethalin, benthiocarb and molinate were possible, but not simazine, atrazine and nitrofen. The optimum volume of distillate for a sufficient extraction of pesticide varied according to kind of pesticide. In general, the volume needed was little for carbamate, but much more for organochlorine. When the definite amount of distillate was obtained and then the condenser was washed by acetone, the optimum volume of distillate was less. Using the steam distillation method, the amount of organic solvent needed for one extraction of pesticide from soil, water and vegetable was less than the conventional solvent extraction method, and the analytical procedure became simpler. The process of concentration and clean up was mostly unnecessary, although a ghost peak was apparent in the gas chromatogram according to the kind of materials distilled.
