  • There is now a growing concern about the possible toxicity of heavy metals in cosmetics. Heavy metals can be used as cosmetic ingredients or may be present as low level impurities in some of the raw materials. Chromium derivatives are used as pigments in cosmetics. Chromium is essential and toxic trace elements. Chromium may cause skin allergy. However, the regulations related to cosmetic products give no limit values for Chromium. Hexavalent chromium is significantly more toxic than trivalent chromium. Hexavalent chromium may present a carcinogenic risk at high concentrations. Therefore, it is important to consider oxidation state of chromium when analyze chromium. The purpose of this study is to determine the concentrations of water-soluble trivalent and hexavalent chromium in samples of makeup products, and to assess the safety of cosmetics on the basis of animal sensitization tests using guinea pig. The present study of chromium in 48 makeup products of 12 manufacturers provides a basis for assessing safety of makeup products. Water-soluble hexavalent chromium was not detected in any product. Water-soluble trivalent chromium was detected in only 9 eye shadows out of 48 makeup products, and could not be quantified 3 out of 9 eye shadows. The highest level of water-soluble trivalent chromium was about 10 mg/kg in spite of 90,000 mg/kg of total chromium. The results of animal sensitization tests show that 200 mg/kg of trivalent chromium and 5 mg/kg of hexavalent chromium have no harmful effect. No cross-reaction among these metals was found. Accordingly, the concentrations of water-soluble chromium in makeup products seemed to be safe. The overall results indicate that chromium in cosmetics probably have no significant toxicological effects. However, It is necessary to set guidelines on the maximum permissible concentration of water-soluble chromium in cosmetics.

  • The main purpose of the study was to clarify the properties of individual particles collected at each behavior space of a factory worker. The samplings of size-segregated ($PM_{2.1-1.1}$ and $PM_{4.7-3.3}$) indoor particles were conducted at three different behavior spaces of a factory worker who is engaged in an auto parts manufacturing plant (i.e., his home, his work place in factory, and his favorite restaurant). Elemental specification (i.e., relative elemental content and distribution in and/or on individual particles) was performed by a micro-PIXE system. Every element detected from the coarse particulate matters of home was classified into three groups, i.e., a group of high net-counts (Na, Al, and Si), a group of intermediate net-counts (Mg, S, Cl, K, and Ca), and a group of minor trace elements (P, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, and Pb). The results of EF for $PM_{4.7-3.3}$ in home indicated that several heavy metals were generated from the sources within the house itself. An exceptional feature shown in the individual particles in workplace is that Cr, Mn, and Co were clearly detected in both fine and coarse particles. Cluster analysis suggested that the individual coarse particles ($PM_{4.7-3.3}$) collected at the indoor of factory were chemically heterogeneous and they modified with sea-salt, mineral, and artificially derived elements. The principal components in individual coarse particles collected at restaurant were sea-salt and mineral without mixing with harmful trace elements like chromium and manganese. Compared to the indoor fine particles of home and restaurant, many elements, especially, Cl, Na, Cr, Mn, Pb, and Zn showed overwhelmingly high net-counts in those of factory.

  • Previous experiments have shown that aqueous sodium silicate ingested in drinking water may modify the gastrointestinal uptake and(or) tissue retention of certain trace elements, including heavy metals. The present experiment tested, with a mineral balance trial using sheep, the hypothesis that dietary silicic acid could modify uptake, retention and(or) biological effects of dietary Cd. Twenty-four wethers were fed a fibrous diet of ground alfalfa hay and cottonseed hulls to which either 0 or 150 ppm Cd was added as $CdCl_2$ and 0, .5 or 1% silicic acid (as dry matter of the diet). Body weight, feed intake, excretion of urine (volume) and feces (weight), digestibility of dry and organic matter, retention of nitrogen, and packed cell volumes of blood were not affected by either Cd or silicic acid (P<.10). Cadmium decreased (P<.05) Ca retention and increased (P<.01) Mg retention. Silicic acid decreased (P<.05) K retention. Silicic acid failed (P<.01) to modify the retention of added dietary Cd. Body retention of K, Mn and Ni in response to silicic acid varied with Cd levels. If Cd is interfering with mineral retention, silicic acid may be effective in preventing this interference.

  • Formaldehyde와 resorcinol을 반응시켜 chelating 수지를 제조하였다. 이 수지는 Pb(II)나 Ni(II)와 같은 전이금속에 대해 높은 흡착능을 나타내었다. Pb(II), Ni(II), Co(II), Fe(II)와 Zn(II)의 흡착과 탈착율을 batch법으로 구하였다. 이 수지의 중요한 특성은 금속 이온과 수지의 수소 이온간의 교환과정이다. 금속이온의 흡착과 탈착의 메카니즘은 수지의 작용기인 수소 이온의 탈착과 금속 이온간의 교환반응으로 생각된다. 이 수지를 이용하여 전이금속을 농축시키고, 다른 이온들로부터 Pb(II)를 분리하는데 적용해 보았다.

  • 1. Introduction : Low molecular harmful organics such as 1-naphthol and phenol are widely used in industries, and pose serious environmental problems. Wastewater containing low molecular harmful organics may be ejected from various sources including metal-plating industries, circuit-board manufacturing process, photographic and photo-processing industries, refineries and metal-tailing leachate. The pollution of nation harbors, waterways and ground water resources with these organics has reached critical portions, and might also give hazardous influence on human health. Micellar enhanced ultrafiltration(MEUF) is a recently developed process to remove dissolved organics and/or heavy metals present in small or trace quantities from aqueous solution. In this system, the fatal defect is leakage of surfactants especially at low concentration below CMC(critical micelle concentration), which becomes a secondary pollution. Our group proposed to use biosurfactant and polymeric micelle to solve problems mentioned above. In this study we investigated a modified MEUF using PEO-PPO-PEO (polyethyleneoxide-polypropyleneoxide-polyethyleneoxide) block copolymers for the removal of organic solutes such as 1-naphthol and phenol from aqueous wastewater. We proposed PEO-PPO-PEO block copolymers as new surfactants for forming micelles in MEUF, and investigated the solubilization characteristics and efficiency for the removal of 1-naphthol and phenol. PEO-PPO-PEO block copolymers are, environmentally mild and safe as biosurfactants.

  • Constructed wetlands are improvised man-made systems, designed for adopting the principle of natural wetlands for purifying wastewater - the elixir of life. They are used widely as a cost-effective and energy-efficient solution for treating greywater generated from different tertiary treatment sources. It provides an elaborate platform for research activities in an attempt to recycle earth's natural resources. Among the several organic impurities removal mechanisms existing in constructed wetland systems, the earth's active microbial population plays a vital role. This review deals with the recent advancements in constructed wetland systems from a microbiological perspective to (effect/ devise/ formulate) chemical and physical treatment for water impurities. It focuses on microbial diversity studies in constructed wetlands, influence of wetland media on microbial diversity and wetland performance, role of specific microbes in water reuse, removal of trace elements, some heavy metals and antibiotics in constructed wetlands. The impurities removal processes in constructed wetlands is achieved by combined interactive systems such as selected plant species, nature of substrate used for microbial diversity and several biogeochemical effected reaction cycles in wetland systems. Therefore, the correlation studies that have been conducted by earlier researchers in microbial diversity in wetlands are addressed herewith.

  • This paper presents a smart firefighting appliances monitoring system based on big data analytics platform using GS1 for Smart City. Typical firefighting appliances are fire hydrant, fire extinguisher, fire alarm, sprinkler, fire engine, etc. for the fire of classes A/B/C/D/E. Among them, the dry chemical fire extinguisher have been widely supplied and 6 millions ones were replaced for the aging ones over 10 years in the past year. However, only 5% of them have been collected for recycling of chemical materials included the heavy metals of environment pollution. Therefore, we considered the trace of firefighting appliances from production to disposal for the public open service. In the paper, we suggest 1) a smart firefighting appliances system using GS1, 2) a big data analytics platform and 3) a public open service and visualization with the analyzed information, for fire extinguishers from production to disposal. It can give the information and the visualized diagrams with the analyzed data through the public open service and the free Apps.

  • 주암댐에 유입된 호저퇴적물의 입도(2mm-200{\mu}m,\;200-100{\mu}m,\;100-50{\mu}m,\;50-20{\mu}m,\;<20{\mu}m)별 중금속(As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn)의 이동과 퇴적 후 중금속의 수직적 분산 특성을 규명하기 위하여 12개 지점의 호저퇴적물과 3개 지점의 코아시료를 채취하였으며, 코아시료는 2-5 cm 간격으로 절단하여 깊이별 간극수와 퇴적물의 중금속 함량을 측정하였다. 호저퇴적물의 퇴적속도를 측정하기 위하여 코아시료에 대한 $^{210}Pb$ 동위원소 연구를 수행하였다. 주암댐 호저 퇴적물의 중금속 및 미량원소의 함량은 퇴적위치와 상관없이 거의 일정한 함량을 보이며.,평균 함량은 $As\;14.9\;{\mu}g/g,\;Cd\;0.81\;{\mu}g/g,\;Cu\;30.7\;\;{\mu}g/g,\;Ni\;34.7\;{\mu}g/g,\;Pb\;63.3\;{\mu}g/g,\;Zn\;87.9\;{\mu}g/g$이다. Cu, Pb, Zn, Ni 및 Cd의 함량은 $20\;{\mu}m$ 이하 입도의 퇴적물에서 가장 높은 반면, As는 $2mm-200{\mu}m$ 혹은 $200-100\;{\mu}m$ 입도의 퇴적물에서 가장 높다. 간극수에 용해된 원소 중에서 가장 함량이 높은 것은 Fe와 Mn 이었으며, 코아시료의 상부로부터 심부로 갈수록 함량이 증가하는 수직적 분산특성을 나타낸다. 반면에 용존 Zn과 Cu함량은 코아시료의 최상부에서 가장 높게 나타나며, 이는 산화:환원 전위차에 따른 유기물질 및 산화광물의 용해작용과 관련이 있다. 코아시료의 퇴적물 내 Cu, Ni, Pb 및 Zn 함량은 0-4 cm구간에서 가장 높은 표면집적 현상이 관찰되며, Pb와 Cu 함량이 현저하게 높은 데, 이는 인위적인 오염에 기인하는 것으로 해석된다. $'unsupponed\;^{210}Pb'$을 이용하여 계산된 호저퇴적물의 퇴적 속도는 $\omega=0.91\;cm\;year^{-1}$ 이며, 이를 적용하면 주암댐이 완공된 이후 약 10 cm의 퇴적물이 평균적으로 퇴적된 것으로 추정된다. 이러한 자료는 주암댐 호수 바닥에 퇴적된 퇴적물의 관리방안을 마련하는 데 중요한 정보로 사용될 수 있을 것이다.
