  • The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) has proposed a threshold limit value (TLV) for benzene of 0.1 ppm. Individuals representing the American Petroleum Institute (API)and the Chemical Manufacturers Association (CMA) have argued that 1) the risk assessment by Rinsky .et al. which ACGIH partially relied upon for its proposed TLV overestimates the risk; however, at the exposures levels of interest - (e.g., 0.1 to 1.0 ppm) for establishing a benzene TLV, the Rinsky et al. assessment provides lower estimates of leukemia risk than most others; 2) ACGIH should not use the Dow study for direct observational evidence of leukemia risk associated with low-level benzene exposure because of confounding exposure; however, it is unlikely that confounding exposures played a role in the excess of leukemia demonstrated in the study, and the Dow cohort was exposed to an average benzene concentration of about 5.5 ppm benzene for 7.11 years (31:1.5 ppm-years), while some of the individuals in the study who died from leukemia were exposed to an average of only 1.0 ppm without the opportunity for highpeak exposures; 3) the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) established an 8-hour time-weighted average (TWA) of 1.0 ppm in 1987, and there is no new evidence that would justify reducing the TWA below that level; however, the OSHA TWA of 1.0 ppm was based on economic feasibility and the level of excess risk remaining at 1.0 ppm, i.e., 10 excess leukemia deaths per 1000 workers over an occupational lifetime (45 years) according to OSHA's preferred estimate leaves behind I risk considered significant by OSHA. In addition, chromosomal studies among workers and in animals exposed to benzene indicate that low-level exposure, i.e., 1.0 ppm, is associated with elevated Cytogenetic damage. On the basis of adverse health effects data alone, in this author's opinion, it would be poor science and poor public health policy to establish a benzene TLV greater than 0.1 ppm.

  • 기본적인 성질 평가와 많은 실내실험을 통해 우리나라에서 부산되는 석탄재는 이제 실용화 단계에 있지만, 가장 문제 제기가 되고 있는 부분은 환경적 특성 검토이다. 본 연구에서는 석탄재 발생량의 대부분을 차지하고 있는, 역학적 특성이 열악한 fly ash.를 대상으로 우리나라 환경기 준에 의하여 폐기물 분류를 분석 확인하구 매립 및 대규모 토공재 등 건설재료로 처리 또는 사용하였을 시 오염물질 배출허용기준에 의한 문제점이 있는가를 검토하기 위하여 회분식 용출시험에 의하여 수소이온농도 및 오염물질 함유량을 조사.분석해 보았다. 그 결과 fly ash는 일반폐기물로 분류됨을 확인하였고, fly ash의 PH는 오염 물질 배출허용 기준치보다 알칼리성을 강하게 띠고 있어 문제가 되고 있으나 이는 산성화된 토양을 중성화하는 토량개량재로서 fly ash의 역할을 기대할 수 있으며, 그 외에는 오염물질 배출허용 기준치에 훨씬 못 미치는 것으로 나타나고 있다. 더구나 석탄재의 열악한 역학적 특성을 개량하기 위하여 사용되는 정도의 소량의 첨가제(시멘트 또는 석회 등)에 의하여 강도 및 내구성 증가, 투수성 억제는 물론 문제가 되는 수소이온농도가 오염물질 배출허용기준(pH 5.8~8.6) 이하로 낮아져, 석탄재의 건설재료로서의 활용에 있어 환경적인 문제의 여지는 없을 것으로 여겨진다.

  • A BNR comprehensive performance evaluation (BNR CPE) system was established employing system-oriented evaluation methodology for biological nutrient removal (BNR) processes based on the CPE techniques developed by U.S. EPA for evaluation of conventional biological processes. The BNR CPE system applied to five domestic BNR plants adopting $A^2/O$ process confirmed that all target plants except the smallest one had not any serious defective performance and process stability was enhanced with increasing plant size. The system also clearly verified relatively poor performances in anoxic reactors without exception mainly due to influent carbon limit rather than functional defect. Consistent good performances were confirmed even during both winter season and wet weather generally known to be difficult to achieve satisfactory removals. Presentation of evaluation results by modified radar chart system simplified and clarified the evaluation and analysis procedures. The BNR CPE system could not only discover readily the causes of present and prospective poor performances but also facilitate the suggestion of their optimization options. Mutual effect and cause-and-effect among operation parameters and unit processes were also found easily using the evaluation system. The system justified that the adverse effect of defective operating parameters could be compensated by other favorable parameters, especially in anaerobic and anoxic reactors as well as during the winter season.

  • The entry of aging society and the coming of (super) aged society need overall the elderly welfare policy and budget for quantitative expansion and qualitative increase to the elderly welfare services. However, financial limit to the elderly welfare and increase to elderly welfare services in local government rely on central government or private sector. This study is discussed the gap between demands and supplies of the elderly welfare services in Busan Metropolitan City and policy implications suggested by these results. The major findings of the study are summarized as follows. First, the rate of the poor elderly under minimum living standard and the elderly housing facilities in demand of the elderly welfare services is reduced, but other measuring indicators are generally increased. Second, a per 10,000 elderly welfare service officials and a per 10,000 elderly medical welfare facilities in supply of the elderly welfare services are generally increased, but other measuring indicators are reduced. The policy implications of the study is to reduce the poor elderly under minimum living standard, to expend the elderly welfare budget, and adequately to supply a variety of the elderly welfare facilities for reduce demand of the elderly welfare services.

  • SPME techniques have proven to be very useful tools in the analysis of wide VOCs in the air. In this study, we estimated VOCs in ambient and workplace air using a Tedlar ba /SPME/GC/MS system. The calibration curve was set to be linear over the range of 1-30 ppbv. The detection limits ranged from 10 pptv to 0.93 ppbv for all VOCs. Reproducibility of TO-14 target gas mixtures by SPME/GC/MS averaged at 8.8 R.S.D (%). Air toxic VOCs (hazardous air pollutants, HAPs) containing a total of forty halohydrocarbons, aromatics, and haloaro-matic carbons could be analyzed with significant accuracy, detection limit and linearity at low ppbv level. Only reactive VOCs with low molecular weight, such as chloromethane, vinylchloride, ethylchloride and 1,2-dichloro-ethane, yielded relatively poor results using this technique. In ambient air samples, ten VOCs were identified and quantified after external calibration. VOC concentration in ambient and workplace air ranged from 0.04 to 1.85 ppbv. The overall process was successfully applied to identify and quantify VOCs in ambient/workplace air.

  • A high-efficiency and small-sized switched-mode line transformer (SMLT) is proposed in this study. The conventional structure of an adapter is composed of line transformer and rectifiers. This structure has a limit in miniaturizing due to low-frequency line transformer. Another structure is composed of power factor correction (PFC) and DC/DC converter. This structure has a limit in reducing volume due to two-stage structure. As the proposed SMLT is composed of an LLC resonant converter, a high-frequency transformer can be adopted to achieve isolation standards and size reduction. This proposed structure has different operation modes in accordance with line input voltage to overcome poor line regulation. In addition, the proposed SMLT is applied to the front of a conventional PFC converter, because the SMLT output voltage is restored to rectified sinusoidal wave by using a full-bridge rectifier in the secondary side. The design of the PFC converter is easy, because the SMLT output voltage is controlled as rectified sinusoidal wave. The validity of the proposed converter is proven through a 350 W prototype.

  • 본 연구는 SIMS를 이용한 bismuth titanate 박막의 깊이방향 분석에 있어서 mesh grid를 사용한 경우와 사용하지 않은 경우, offset voltage를 사용한 경우와 사용하지 않은 경우 등 분석조건에 따른 charging effect 그리고 검출한계의 특성을 검토하고자 하였다. 결과에 따르면 -40 V의 offset voltage를 사용하였을 경우는 charging effect의 감소는 물론 검출한계도 낮출 수 있었으나 mesh grid를 사용하였을 경우에는 charging effect는 다소 줄일 수 있었으나 반면 검출 한계는 오히려 높아졌다. O- 일차이온을 적용한 경우는 -40 V의 offset voltage를 사용하였을 때와 동일한 효과를 얻을 수 있었다.

  • The clad sheet is the sheet metal that joined the one or more material with the different property by rolling process. In this study, it is investigated about the mechanical property or formability of SUS-Al-Mg clad sheet. The clad sheet was formed at elevated temperature because of their poor formability at room temperature. The tensile test was confirmed at various temperature and the reduction of strain rate above $250^{\circ}C$. LDR(Limited Drawing Ratio) was obtained through deep drawing test to confirm the formability of the clad sheet. The FE analysis is performed to compare prototype products.

  • The Clad sheet is made roll-bonding process of the one or more material with the different property. Good formability is an essential property in order to deform a clad metal sheet to a part or component. In this study, the mechanical properties and formability of a Mg-Al-SUS clad sheet are investigated. The clad sheet was deformed at elevated temperatures because of its poor formability at room temperature. Tensile tests of the each material and clad sheet were performed at various temperatures and at various strain rates. The limited draw ration (LDR) was obtained using a deep drawing test to measure the formability of the clad sheet. A finite element (FE) analysis was performed to predict formability of the cup drawing product, one_layer model and three_layer model.

  • Elevator industry is a field that is mechanical, electrical and electronic technology and constantly requires inspection and maintenance considering various applications and various types. Recently, various elevator control and monitoring technologies with IT are developing for elevators on land. But technologies with IT have been hardly done in marine elevator that is consistently assured safety and reliability of life cycle for its parts in poor environment. In this paper, we implemented embedded main controller, floor controller and car controller that meet the requirements and use NMEA network protocol by analyzing home and abroad integrated elevator operation and management systems. Especially, we secured reliability of maintenance by real-time fault diagnosis and control that was implemented with limit switch, gyro sensor, temperature/humidity/barometric pressure sensor and fire detection sensor thinking over the environmental conditions of terrestrial and marine elevator.
