$17{\alpha}$-Ethynylestradiol (EE2) has gotten growing concerns due to its widely detected in the environment and high estrogenic potency. However, the knowledge on the photochemical behaviors of EE2 in natural waters is still limited. Herein, the photodegradation and estrogenic potency variation of EE2 induced by nitrate were studied using a sunlight simulator consisted by a 300 W medium pressure mercury lamp and 290 nm cut-off filters. It was found that EE2 could be photodegraded at a rate of $0.0193h^{-1}$ in pure aqueous solutions, and the photodegradation of EE2 could be significantly promoted by nitrate. The photodegradation removal rate of EE2 was increased from 9% in Milli-Q water to 85% in 2.0 mM nitrate solutions. Reactive species scavenging experiments demonstrated that the photogenerated $HO{\bullet}$ contributed about 55% to EE2 degradation. Fe(III), Cl- and dissolved humic acid (DHA) could inhibit the photodegradation of EE2 by competing the incident light and photogenerated $HO{\bullet}$, while $HCO_3{^-}$ had no influence on EE2 photodegradation. EE2 was determined to be phototransformed into organic chemicals without estrogenic potency by GC-MS and MCF-7 cell proliferation toxicity tests. These findings could extend our knowledge on the photochemical behaviors of steroid estrogens and provide information for ecological risk assessment.

금속의 착물을 첨가제로 사용하여 햇빛에 의한 고분자 물질의 분해를 빠르게 하고자 하였다. 첨가제는 햇빛의 자외선에 의해 들뜬상태가 되어 공기중의 산소를 들뜬 단일상태로 만들어 준다. 들뜬 산소는 고분자의 골격에 카르보닐기나 히드록실기와 같은 작용기를 만들어 주며 동시에 골격을 끊어준다. 이러한 작용기는 미생물에 의해 공격받기 쉬우므로 고분자물질은 점점 저분자 물질로 되어 분해된다 적외선 스펙트럼으로 이러한 작용기들의 생성을 측정하였으며, 점성도의 측정과 비교하여 이러한 기들의 생성이 분자량의 감소와 비례함을 알았다. 첨가제의 종류를 바꾸어 가며 그 효과를 비교함으로써 350${\sim}$400nm의 자외선에서 센 charge-transfer band를 가지는 금속착물이 효과가 좋으며 특히 철의 디티오카르밤산 착물과 그와 유사한 구조의 착물이 좋은 효과를 보여줌을 알았다.

This study investigates the oxidative degradation of N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), a probable human carcinogen, by advanced oxidation process (i.e., UV process). The experiments were performed with various pH, initial concentration, UV intensity, and addition of $H_2O_2$ or $TiO_2$ on UV process. The results showed that the direct UV photolysis was the most effective treatment method. The lower pH, intial concentration and higher intensity of UV stimulated higher NDMA removal. However, addition of oxidant ($H_2O_2$, $TiO_2$) slows down photochemical treatment of NDMA since the oxidant can filter out the UV light and block it to reach the NDMA molecules. Dimethylamine (DMA) and nitrite were found to be a major byproduct from NDMA oxidation. To evaluate the chronic toxicity effects of UV-treated NDMA on the growth of microalgae, "Skeletonema costatum", was studied as long term experiments. Results demonstrated that after the 13 days exposure the chronic toxicity was decreased about 15% with application of UV process on NDMA degradation.

The photocatalytic decolorization and photodegradation of wastewater contamininated with dyes such as methyleneblue tetrahydrate(MBT), methyl orange(MO), phenol red(PR) and the mixed dyes have been studied using a batch reactor in the presence of aerotropic and titania. Degussa P25 titanium oxide was used as the photocatalyst and proved to be effective for the dyes-degradation when irradiated with UV-light source emitting the wavelength of 253.7 nm in the presence of air. In addition to removing the color from the wastewater, the photocatalytic reaction simultaneously reduced the COD and optical density which suggests that the dissolved organic compounds have been photooxidized. The reaction rate of disappearance of the dyes were measured as a function of the irradiation times. The photooxidative procedure of the aquatic solution have the first order reaction-kinetics. The rate constants were increased in the order of PR < MBT < $gL^{-1}-TiO_2$ powder were irradiated with the UV -light source.

Diarylethene in photochromic materials was doped in organic-inorganic hybrid low-melting glasses were synthesized through a nonaqueous acid-base reaction process, which consists of network units including a small number of bridging oxides. The organic phase is a dichlorodimethylsilane while the inorganic phase is a tin(II) chloride. Diarylethene was incorporated into the glasses without any degradation of its functionality. The open form of diarylenthene, which is converted from the opening one upon UV-irradiation, is change to the closed form visible light-irradiation. The rate constant of the photochemical reaction is $31.78\times10^{-3}s^{-1}$ with 400 W UV lamp irradiation.

용액침전법에 의해 ZnO 및 $Zn_{0.95}Mn_{0.05}O$를 제조하였다. Mn이 5% 치환된 ZnO 시료는 순수한 ZnO의 띠 간격인 3.37 eV (380 nm 흡광)로부터 1.50 eV (800 nm 흡광)까지 띠 간격이 줄어들게 되어 자외선 영역 뿐 아니라 가시광선 전체 영역에서도 흡광이 발생하였다. 가시광선에서의 광촉매 활성에서도 $Zn_{0.95}Mn_{0.05}O$ 시료는 P-25보다도 더 높은 활성도를 나타냈다.

When a light is projected upon a material, part of its radiation energy is absorbed and the rest is reflected or transmitted according to the nature of the material. The molecules of the substance absorbing a light obtains the radiation energy to the wavelength of the light to make photochemical degradation by ultraviolet ray or thermal reactions like physical damage by infrared ray. The degree of damage by radiation energy varies to the substances of materials, the spectral power distribution of the light source and the duration of irradiation. Because the damage brings about a devaluation of material and once damaged, it is irretrievable, it is necessary to minimize the damage and conserve the native quality of a material by a protective lighting system. A measuring system was set up to measure the temperature rise of each sample by infrared radiation from light sources. And the temperature rise and temperature distribution by various infrared lamps were measured with varying time.

The disassembly of Chl-protein complexes during dark-induced senescence (DIS) was investigated using detached third and fourthleaves of 21$\pm$1 day-old Arabidopsis thaliana. Although Chl content decreased linearly after 1 d, a significant decrease of photochemical effeciency (Fv/Fm) was observed after 2 d. In experiments using native green gel electrophoresis of Chl-protein complexes combined with additional two-dimensional SDS-PAGE analysis, we could observe the degradation of both photosystems after 2 d. Although light-harvesting complex(LHC) for PSI (LHCI) was degraded first in PSI complex, small PSII apoproteins including CP47/CP43 and D1/D2 apoproteins were degraded first in PSII complexes. LHC for PSII (LHCII) trimers were stable until 4 d. The level of LHCII monomers was increased until 3 and decreased thereafter, resulting in the increase of free pigments. These results suggest that the disassembly process of PSI is different from that of PSII.

Chemical and photochemical processes during storage and preparation rapidly degrade retinol, the most active form of vitamin A. therefore, the efficacy of incorporation into liposomes in order to modulate the kinetics of retinol degradation was investigated. Retinol was readily incorporated into multilamellar liposomes that were prepared form soybean phosphatidylcholine; the extent of the incorporation was 98.14±0.93% at pH 9.0 at a ratio of 0.01 : 1 (wt:wt) retinol : phospholipid. It was only marginally lower at higher retinol concentrations. The pH of the hydration buffer had a small effect. The incorporation efficiency ranged from 99.25±0.47% at pH 3 to 97.45±1.13% at pH 11. The time course of the retinol degradation in the aqueous solution in liposomes was compared to that of free retinol and free retinol with α-tocopherol under a variety of conditions of pH(3, 7, and 11), temperature(4, 25, 37, and 50℃), and light exposure(dark, visible, and UV). The retinol that was incorporated into the liposomes degraded significantly slower than the free retinol or retinol with α-tocopherol at pH 7 and 11. At pH 3, where the free retinol degrades rapidly, the degradation kinetics were similar in liposomes and the presence of α-tocopherol. At pH 7.0 and 4℃ in the light, for example, free aqueous retinol was completely degraded within 2 days, while only 20% of the retinol in the liposomes were degraded after 8 days. In general, the protective effect of the liposome incorporation was greater at low temperatures, at neutral and high pH, and in the dark. The results suggest that protection is greater in the solid, gel phase than in the fluid liquid crystalline phase lipids. These results indicate that the incorporation into liposomes can extend the shelf-life of retinol under a variety of conditions of temperature, pH, and ambient light conditions.
