Objectives : This paper analyzes medical contents of the Jukgyopyeonlam(Handbook of Jukgyo) which was written in 1849 by Han Seokhyo, a resident of Neungju, Jeolla-do. Methods : The author, bibliography, organization, cited literature, and content of the book were investigated. Results : 1. The author, Han, Seokhyo was not a doctor by trade, but rather a Confucian doctor. 2. The purpose of this book is to prepare non-medical personnel for emergencies. 3. While the book's organization follows those of existing books, the author's originality can be found among medical contents of the Jukgyopyeonlam. Conclusions : It can be understood that the medicinal contents of the Jukgyopyeonlam was written based on knowledge accumulated through numerous years of local clinical and medicinal experience in order for Confucian doctors in the countryside of Jeolla-do in the mid-19th century to be able to prepare for cases of emergency.

A phase II site investigation and feasibility study was conducted at a military mortar shooting range near the demilitarized zone (Kyunggi, South Korea) to assess the extent of contaminants migration to the nearby Imjin river in which a flood control dam is under construction. The results showed that silty-clay soils around target areas were co-contaminated with heavy metals (Cd, Cu, and Pb) and explosives (HMX, RDX, and TNT). The total amount of contaminant was estimated to be 497.1 kg-RDX, 20.6 kg-HMX, 1.4 kg-TNT, 35.2 kg-Cd, 4,331 kg-Cu, and 5,115 kg-Pb, respectively. Both heavy metals and explosives were almost equally distributed on each soil particle size fraction. Neither subsurface soil samples nor ground water samples showed signs of contamination above the environmental criteria. The major migration route of contaminants was soil particles in surface run-off during rain at which a mass discharge rate of 30.0 mg-RDX/hour was observed.
