  • This work demonstrates the use of baromembrane method based on reverse osmosis (RO) process. The method is realized on mobile complex, which allows to concentrate and determine ultra-low activity of radionuclides in water cooling ponds of Russian nuclear fuel cycle enterprises. The existence level of radionuclide background creates difficult conditions for identification the contribution of liquid discharges enterprise, as standard monitoring methods have a very high detection level for radionuclides. Traditional methods for determining the background radionuclides concentrations require the selection of at least 500 liters (l) of water, followed by their evaporation to form a dry residue. This procedure with RO membranes requires at least 5 days. It is possible to reduce the time and energy spent on evaporation of hundreds of water liters by pre-concentrating radionuclides in a smaller sample volume with baromembrane method. This approach allows preliminary concentration of water samples from 500 l volume till 20 l volume during several hours. This approach is universal for the concentration of dissolved salts of any heavy metals, other organic compounds and allows the preparation of water countable samples in much shorter time compared to the traditional evaporation method.

  • 수중의 방사능을 측정하기 위한 전처리과정으로서 이온교환농축법과 증발건조법을 서로 비교하였다. 시료를 증발건조법으로 처리하였을때 방사성물질의 손실율은 이온교환농축법에 비해 20% 정도 많았다. 또, 1리터의 시료를 처리하는 데 소요된 증발시간은 $70^{\circ}C$에서 증발시킨 경우 약20시간이었으나 이온교환농축법으로 같은 양의 시료를 처리하는데 소요된 시간은 약6시간이었다. 따라서 이온교환농축법이 증발건조법에 비해 효과적이며 특히 수중의 저준위 방사성물질 측정에 적합한 것으로 나타났다.

  • The aims of this study were to investigate and confirm the occurrence and distribution patterns of iodinated X-ray contrast media (iopromide) in Nakdong river basin (mainstream and its tributaries). Iopromide was detected in 16 sampling sites. The concentration levels of iopromide on February 2011 and on October 2011 in surface water samples ranged from not detected (ND) to 1481.1 ng/L and ND to 1168.2 ng/L, respectively. The highest concentration level of iopromide in the mainstream and tributaries in Nakdong river were Goryeong and Jincheon-cheon, respectively. The sewage treatment plants (STPs) along the river affect the iopromide levels in river and the iopromide levels decreased with downstream because of dilution effects.

  • In order to evaluate the distribution level of Cryptosporidium and Giardia in drinking water resources, distribution of Cryptosporidium and Giardia was studied in intake water of main water treatment facility with treatment capacity over 50,000 ton/day in Korea. 10 L samples from each study sites were collected quarterly for 2 years between Oct. '04 and Dec. '07. Cryptosporidium and Giardia were filtered and concentrated by capsule filter and centrifugation, and analyzed by immunomagnetic separation process and fluorescent assay. Cryptosporidium oocysts and Giardia cysts were detected in 7.0% and 9.3%, respectively, of a total 776 samples from 97 study sites. And mean detection number of Cryptosporidium oocysts and Giardia cysts in total 776 samples was 0.11/10 L, 0.16/10 L, detection range of Cryptosporidium oocysts and Giardia cysts was 0~7/10 L, 0~4/10 L, respectively. In seasonal distribution, Cryptosporidium was more frequent in spring as 9.2% than other season, Giardia was more frequent in winter as 14.6% than other season, but there was not shown significant seasonal characteristics. In correlation analysis with total 776 data, Cryptosporidium had significant correlation to total coliforms at the 0.05 level, but correlation value was too low as 0.07 (r=0.07). In case of Giardia, what had significant correlation at the 0.05 level was total coliforms and fecal coliforms, but correlation value was too low as 0.26, 0.27 respectively.

  • 지구 온난화와 이로 인한 해수면의 상승은 명백히 전 지구적으로 일어나고 있는 변화이며 해안선의 변화 또한 동반되고 있다. 해안선은 해수면의 상승뿐만 아니라 인위적인 활동에 의해서도 변화할 수 있으나 지구온난화에 의한 해안선 변화의 파악은 지구 온난화의 진행을 파악할 수 있는 지표로써 활용이 가능하다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 자동으로 해안선을 추출 및 변화를 파악하는 데에 있다. 본 연구에서는 자동으로 해안선을 추출하기 위해서 수분지수를 활용하여 물과 육지의 대조를 극대화하였으며, 해안선의 자동 추출이 용이하도록 하였다. 수분지수로 변환된 영상에서 자동으로 물과 육지를 분할하기 위하여 적정 임계값을 자동으로 찾을 수 있도록 영상처리 기법을 적용하였고, 경계선 검출 알고리즘을 통하여 해안선을 추출하였으며 추출된 해안선으로 변화를 탐지하는 방법론을 제시하고자 하였다. 자동으로 물과 육지를 분할하고 경계선을 찾는 영상처리 기법은 다른 자료의 도움 없이 LANDSAT 영상만을 이용하여 적용될 수 있으며 추출된 해안선 또한 기준자료로 이용된 NLCD(National Land Cover Database) 자료와의 비교를 통해 유사하다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 지구 온난화의 지표로써의 활용 가치를 확인하기 위해 연구 대상지역을 지층의 온도가 연중 $0^{\circ}C$ 이하로 항상 얼어 있는 영구동토로 선정하여 영구동토의 해빙으로 인한 해안선 변화를 정량적으로 확인할 수 있었으며 해안선의 변화가 가속화한다는 사실을 확인할 수 있었다.

  • In this study, we monitored 4 volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as chloroform, dichloromethane, 1,2-dichloroethane, and tetrachloromethane in groundwater samples to determine the detection frequency and their concentrations and evaluated the health risk level considering ingestion, inhalation, and skin contact. 75 groundwater wells were selected. 24 wells were from monitoring background groundwater quality level and 51 wells were from monitoring groundwater quality level in industrial or contamination source area. In the results, the detection frequency for chloroform, dichloromethane, 1,2-dichloroethane, and tetrachloromethane was 42.3%, 8.1%, 6.0%, and 3.4%, respectively. The average concentrations of VOCs were high in the order of chloroform ($1.7{\mu}g\;L^{-1}$), dichloromethane ($0.08{\mu}g\;L^{-1}$), tetrachloromethane ($0.05{\mu}g\;L^{-1}$), and 1,2-dichloroethane ($0.05{\mu}g\;L^{-1}$). Chloroform had the highest detection frequency and average detection concentration. In the contaminated groundwater, the detection frequency of VOCs was high in the order of chloroform, dichloromethane, 1,2-dchloroethane, and tetrachloromethane. The average concentrations for chloroform, dichloromethane, 1,2-dichloroethane, and tetrachloromethane were $2.23{\mu}g\;L^{-1}$, $0.08{\mu}g\;L^{-1}$, $0.07{\mu}g\;L^{-1}$, and $0.06{\mu}g\;L^{-1}$, respectively. All the 4 compounds were detected at industrial complex and storage tank area. The maximum concentration of chloroform, dichloromethane, and 1,2-dichloroethane was detected at industrial complex area. Especially, the maximum concentration of chloroform and dichloromethane was detected at a chemical factory area. In the uncontaminated groundwater, the detection frequency of VOCs was high in the order of chloroform, dichloromethane, and 1,2-dchloroethane and tetrachloromethane was not detected. The average concentrations for chloroform, dichloromethane, and 1,2-dichloroethane were $0.57{\mu}g\;L^{-1}$, $0.07{\mu}g\;L^{-1}$, and $0.03{\mu}g\;L^{-1}$, respectively. Although chloroform in the uncontaminated groundwater was detected the most, the concentration of chloroform was not exceeding water quality standards. By land use, the maximum detection frequency of 1,2-dichloroethane was found near a traffic area. For human risk assessment, the cancer risk for the 4 VOCs was $10^{-6}{\sim}10^{-9}$, while the non-cancer risk (HQ value) for the 4 VOCs is $10^{-2}{\sim}10^{-3}$.

  • 본 논문은 목자판과 수면이 포함된 시차가 있는 연속적인 두 영상을 이용하여 수면위치를 탐색하는 방법과 그 적용성을 평가한 결과를 기술한다. 수위표 상단으로부터 특정 크기의 직사각형 검사영역을 설정하고 짧은 시차를 가진 두 영상의 동일한 위치의 검사영역에 대해 상관계수를 산정한다. 이렇게 함으로써 물의 흐름으로 픽셀 농도가 변화하는 수역과 픽셀 농도가 고정되어 있는 육역을 구분한다. 제안한 기법을 검증하기 위해 실험실에서 촬영한 사진을 분석하였다. 분석결과 검사영역의 크기에 따라 상관계수 특성이 달라짐을 확인하였으며, 검사영역이 수위표 전체 폭에 걸쳐 있는 경우에 상관계수에 따른 수면특성이 뚜렷이 나타나 제안된 기법이 수면을 찾는데 활용될 수 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 시차가 있는 두 영상의 상관분석을 통한 수위측정방법을 통해 기존 영상수위계의 오염된 영상에서 오차범위가 10~42cm 발생했던 것을 2.6cm 이내로 줄일 수 있었다. 이 방법은 기존 영상수위계의 방법을 보완하여 수위 측정 성능을 높이는데 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

  • A new direct colorimetric assay of microcystin in water and algal samples is proposed consisting of two procedures as follows: 1) the elimination of phosphorus in the sample and concentration of microcystin using a C(sub)18 cartridge, 2) the detection of the released phosphorus by the ascorbic acid method and determination of protein phosphatase (PP) inhibition by microcystin. The optimum amounts of phosphorylase ${\alpha}$ and PP-1 in 50 ${\mu}$L concentrated sample were 50$\mu\textrm{g}$/50${\mu}$L buffer and 1.0unit/50${\mu}$L buffer, respectively, for the best assay. The pH for the maximum activity of PP-1 was 8. The minimum detectable concentration for this method was about 0.02$\mu\textrm{g}$/L, which is sufficient to meet the proposed guideline level of 1$\mu\textrm{g}$ microcystin/L in drinking water. Consequently, it would seem that the proposed direct colorimetric assay using PP is a rapid, easy, and convenient method for the detection of microcystin in water and algal samples.

  • Alpha-amylase and glucoamylase activities were higher in koji with 40% water than that with 30 and 50% water, and A. oryzae exhibited very high alpha-amylase and glucoamylase activities compared to A. sojae and A. niger. Acidic, neutral and alkaline protease activities also showed higher activities in koji prepared with flour, Korean wheat powder and soybean powder with 40% water based on the weight of the sample. Alpha-amylase, acidic, neutral and alkaline protease activities of all the koji samples according to incubation periods increased until 3~4 days of incubation and maintained nearly the same level or slightly decreased after 5 days of incubation. The protease activities of A. oryzae and A. sojae showed nearly the same trend regardless of differences in substrate conditions and koji materials, but those of A. niger showed a lower activity than those of A. oryzae and A. sojae. These results suggest that the preparation of koji is possible with Korean wheat powder and soybean powder and A. sojae can be utilized as a new strain for fermented foods using soybean as the main materials to increase functional properties and produce products having a new taste and flavor.
