Soy sprouts cultured in a lab with five soybean cultivars and three commercial soy sprouts purchased in a market were investigated to compare the mineral and vitamine contents. In case of minerals, K, Ca, Mg, and Na were found as major minerals and a small quantity of Fe, Zn, Mn, and Cu was also analyzed in soy sprout. The all minerals were distributed in the cotyledon and the hypocotyl but their concentration orders were different between in cotyledon and in hypocotyl. After boiling, much of minerals eluted in water, the pattern of release of the minerals from the soy sprout to water was similar in all soy sprouts. The vitamin C was concentrated a great amount in hypocotyl than in cotyledon whereas vitamin B was found in the cotyledon generally. And their contents were reduced after boiling owing to heat-mediated degrading. The vitamin C and B contents were different according to cultivars, which shows chemical composition of soybean seed was important to soy sprout characters. The present results provide a basis for attempt to improve seed quality in soybean breeding program for soy sprout.

To investigate the ground water quality status for paprika hydroponics for export, its pH, EC (electrical conductivity) and inorganic ion concentrations were analyzed in Gangwan-do (27 samples), Gyeonsangnam-do (77 samples) and Jeollanam-do (54 samples) from November 2008 to September 2009. The average values of several components in ground water were as follows; 7.20 (6.57~7.54) in pH, 0.31 (0.05~0.49) $dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$ in EC, 97.81 (35.37~161.11) in $HCO_3$, 5.68 (0.45~15.48) in T-N, 0.67 (0.15~0.70) in P, 2.53 (0.59~6.70) in K, 35.68 (4.15~80.70) in Ca, 7.35 (1.46~14.87) in Mg, 17.89 (3.31~34.82) in Na, 0.01 (0~0.05) in Fe, 0.09 (0~0.51) in Mn, 0.06 (0~0.07) in Zn, and 0.03 (0~0.10) $mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ in Cu, respectively. The values of pH, EC, $HCO_3$, Ca, Mg and Na in ground water were different depending on areas and farms. Frequency rates were 92.6% of pH 5.0~8.0, 89.3% of EC < 0.5 $dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$, 69.5% of $HCO_3$ < 100, 97.5% of Na < 30, 88.5% of Ca < 40, 97.5% of Mg < 20, 90.1% of Fe < 0.05, 99.6% of Mn < 0.6, and 98.3% of Zn < 0.5 $mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$, respectively, which can be used for nutrient fertilizers in hydroponics. The percentage of suitable water quality was 46.3% as 70 sites among the all analyzed ions. The pH value showed high significance of correlations with EC, Mg, $HCO_3$, Na, and Fe. Also the EC value showed high positive significance with T-N, K, Ca, Mg, $HCO_3$, Na and Mn.

The characterization of PM$_{2.5}$ and PM$_{10}$ concentration is considered by analysis of ionic and heavy metal component to measured suspended particle at atmosphere in Hoseo university of Asan area. The variation of concentration is studied at the periods of asian dust occured. In asian dust, the PM$_{2.5}$ ratio is decreased from 79.7% to 40.1%, whereas the size-classified mean concentration of suspended particle is increased largely. It is found that the PM$_{2.5}$ ratio is decreased relatively because the coarse particle is increased largely according to the analysis of the mass concentration to divide the fine and coarse particle on 2.1 $\mu$m basis. It is observed that the Ca$^{2+}$ion is about 40 magnifications and Na$^+$, SO$_4{^{2-}}$ ion is increased in sequence in coarse particle, whereas the variation of ionic concentration is slightly increased in the fine particle. Furthermore, Mn, Fe, Zn, and Al are increased in sequence as the result of heavy metal component analysis, and Al is shown the most increased as mass concentration.

It is shown that the impurities of Cu(II), Pb(II), Zn(II) and Ag(I) in Bismuth metal and the components of Pb(II), Zn(II) and Sn(IV) in Bismuth alloy are separated into their components from each other by elutions through $3.14cm^2{\times}10cm$ cation exchange resin, $Dowex\;50w\;{\times}\;8$ (100~200 mesh), column with the mixed solutions of HAc and NaAc as the eluents. The elution curve of Fe(III) has a long tailing and is not separated quantitatively from Bi(III). The eluents used for this separation are as follows; 1M HAc + 0.1M NaAc (pH 3.36) for Fe(III) and Bi (III). 0.3M HAc + 0.3M NaAc (pH 4.70) for Cu(II), Pb(II) and Zn(II). 0.5M HAc + 0.5M NaAc (pH4.70) for Ag(I) and Sn(IV). The analysis of cations eluted are carried out by spectrophotometry and EDTA titrimetry. Their recoveries are more than 99%.

A Na-cellulose adsorbent was prepared by treating Sigma S-5504 cellulose with 2M NaOH and examined the adsorption behavior between metal ions and Na-cellulose in aqueous solution with batch method. Considering ion exchange capacity of Na-cellulose, the adsorption ratio of the Na-cellulose to metals charge equivalent indicated that the adsorption result from ion exchanging between metal ions and Na-cellulose. The enthalpy for the metal adsorption on the Na-cellulose was calculated to -18kcal/mol, which value was compared to those of carboxymethylcellulose(CMC) and Dowex 50W-X8, these result suggested that the adsorption on Na-cellulose resulted from ion exchange adsorption.

To investigate the chemical characteristics of PM$\_$2.5/ in Seoul, Korea, atmospheric particulate matters were collected using a PM$\_$10/ dichotomous sampler including PM$\_$10/ and PM$\_$2.5/ inlet during the period of October 2000 to September 2001. The Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectromety (ICP-MS), ion Chromatography (IC) methods were used to determine the concentration of both metal and ionic species. A statistical analysis was performed for the heavy metals data set using a principal component analysis (PCA) to derived important factors inherent in the interactions among the variables. The mean concentrations of ambient PM$\_$2.5/ and PM/sub10/ were 24.47 and 45.27 $\mu\textrm{g}$/㎥, respectively. PM$\_$2.5/ masses also showed temporal variations both yearly and seasonally. The ratios of PM$\_$2.5/PM$\_$10/ was 0.54, which similar to the value of 0.60 in North America. Soil-related chemical components (such as Al, Ca, Fe, Si, and Mn) were abundant in PM$\_$10/, while anthropogenic components (such as As, Cd, Cr, V, Zn and Pb) were abundant in PM2s. Total water soluble ions constituted 30∼50 % of PM$\_$2.5/ mass, and sulfate, nitrate and ammonium were main components in water soluble ions. Reactive farms of NH$_4$$\^$+/were considered as NH$_4$NO$_3$ and (NH$_4$)$_2$SO$_4$ during the sampling periods. In the results of PCA for PM$\_$2.5/, we identified three principal components. Major contribution to PM$\_$2.5/ seemed to be soil, oil combustion, unidentified source. Further study, the detailed interpretation of these data will need efforts in order to identify emission sources.

Heavy metal equilibria in the Dongnam stream which receives the wastewater from mining activities are investigated to provide some basic data for the management of small stream with acid mine drainage. Saturation, undersaturation, and supersaturation of some heavy metal ions with respect to some mineral phases are evaluated by saturation index (logIAP/Ksp). The $Al^{3+}$ activities showed equilibrium with $AIOHSO_4$ solid phase below a pH of 6.0. The $Fe^{3+}$ activities appeared to be controlled by Fe $(OH)_{3(amorphous)}$ solid phase below a pH of 4.0. $Zn^{2+}$ activities appeared to be regulated by $ZnCO_3$ solid phase above a pH of 6.8. Some heavy metal activities appeared to be depended upon the pH.

방그라데시 북부에 위치한 풀바리 우파질라 지역의 지하수에서 pH, EC, 주요 양이온 ($Ca^{2+}$, $Mg^{2+}$, $Na^+$, $K^+$, $Zn^{2+}$, $Cu^{2+}$, $Mn^{2+}$, $Fe^{3+}$, and $As^{3+}$), 주요 음이온 (${CO_3}^{2-}$, $HCO_3{^-}$, $NO_3{^-}$, ${SO_4}^{2-}$ and $Cl^-$) 그리고 total dissolved solids (TDS) 등의 용존물질 함량을 측정하였다. 또한 sodium adsorption ratio (SAR), soluble sodium percentage (SSP), residual sodium carbonate (RSC), 경도 등의 지표도 계산하였다. 전체적으로 지하수의 pH는 약알칼리성 (6.24 - 8.10)을 띄었으며, 주요 양이온은 $Ca^{2+}$, $Mg^{2+}$ and $Na^+$ 이었고, 주요 음이온은 $HCO_3{^-}$ and $Cl^-$ 으로서 전형적인 담수의 이온조성을 보였다. $Cu^{2+}$, $Mn^{2+}$ and $Fe^{3+}$ 의 최대 농도는 각각 1.71, 0.606, 0.125 mg/L 이었다. 방글라데시의 여러 지역에서는 비소에 의한 지하수의 오염이 흔히 나 타나고 있으나 이지역에서 비소의 최대농도가 0.41 mg/L로서 기준치인 0.05 mg/L 보다 낮은 오 염도를 보였다. TDS와 SAR, SSP 등으로 볼 때 이 지역의 지하수는 대부분 양호한 수질을 가지는 담수인 것으로 평가된다. $As^{3+}$, $Zn^{2+}$, $Mn^{2+}$, $Fe^{3+}$, ${SO_4}^{2-}$, $NO_3{^-}$ and $Cl^-$ 등의 농도는 음용수로 적합한 수준이었으나 일부 항목은 특정 산업용도로는 부적합한 농도를 보였다. 현재로서는 이지역 의 지하수는 대부분 음용이 가능하고 일부 산업용에 대해서만 부적합성을 보였다. 그러나 앞으로 지 하수의 이용과 산업활동이 증가하면 방글라데시의 많은 다른 지역의 지하수에서 발생한 사례와 같 이 용존물질의 농도가 증가하여 물의 용도에 제한을 받게 될 우려가 있다.
