The effect of corrosion inhibitors on antimicrobial activity of biocides (Kathon 886 MW, Triadine 3, Triadine 10 and Grotan BK) was investigated using the Pseudomonas aeruginosa which frequency of occurrence in contaminated fluids is very high and its growth and survival is excellent. When a biocide was used with a corrosion inhibitor, the antimicrobial activity of it was affected by the corrosion inhibitor used. The antimicrobial activity of Kathon 886 MW increased when corrosion inhibitor (each of SS 510, MEA) was used. Triadine 3, Triadine 10, Grotan BK showed the similar trend of antimicrobial effect for the corrosion inhibitors used. Their antimicrobial activities increased when the corrosion inhibitor such as CP-105, CP-E-7 and MEA was used individually. The antimicrobial activity of each corrosion inhibitor was also compared. The results showed that CP-E-7 and MEA was bioresistant and the other corrosion inhibitors were biosupportive. The antimicrobial activity of biocides was in the order of Triadine 10 < Triadine 3 < Kathon 886 MW < Grotan BK.

Most chronic wounds persist in the inflammatory phase during wound healing due to the biofilm. Biofilms are resistant to antibiotics, weakening penetration, resistance to biocides and weakening local immune responses. The biofilm is firmly attached to the surrounding tissues and is very difficult to remove. Therefore, strategies to remove hard biofilms without damaging surrounding tissue are very important. One of possible strategies is dispersal. So many studies have been done to develop new strategies using dispersal mechanisms. In this review paper, especially chemotaxis, phage therapy, polysaccharides, various enzymes (glycosidases, proteases, and deoxyribonucleases), surfactants, dispersion signals, autoinducers, inhibitors were introduced. Combination therapies with other therapies such as antibiotic therapy were also introduced. It is expected that the possibility of treatment of chronic wound infection using the knowledge of the biofilm dispersal mechanisms presented in this paper will be higher.

The humidifier disinfectant disaster (HDD) was not a simple poisoning accident by biocides, but a singular disaster in history created by chemicals in household products. This disaster was a result of the failure of a system for the management of chemical and product safety. Since the management authority for chemical usage safety is different from those for chemical safety in products, many blind areas for chemical safety management in products still remain. The 'Act on the Registration and Evaluation, etc. of Chemical Substances (ARECS)' or the new 'Biocidal Product Act' must not only address the blind areas in the management system for chemical and product safety, but also prevent a second HDD. To prevent another HDD, an integrated registration, evaluation, and management system for chemicals and consumer products must be incorporated into the 'ARECS' as an essential part for chemical safety in consumer products.

A wide variety of materials including aldehydes, cationic agents, alcohols, peroxygens, phenols and chlorinated phenols, metal ions are being employed as biocides. Among three levels for biocidal functions (sanitization, disinfection and sterilization), disinfection is an enough level for antimicrobial textiles. In terms of antimicrobial agents for textile applications, quaternary ammonium salts (QAS), chitosan, metal and metal salts, N-halamine based materials are developed with numerous research and the positive ions of those materials may result in disinfection of microorganisms. Photocatalysts, especially titanium dioxide (titania) produces the hydroxyl radical (${\cdot}\;OH$) which causes inactivation of microorganisms after UV radiation, have been used for antimicrobial applications.

The performance of three tubular materials (C-90, L-80, and N-80) was evaluated in a synthetic brine inoculated with sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) in the absence and presence of biocides. A flow loop was used in the evaluation of the three alloys. Morphological examination of the alloy surfaces after exposure to SRB and after biocide treatment was performed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to determine the nature of any localized corrosion. The SE images of the coupon samples showed a marked difference between the biocide-treated and untreated samples. Small pits were observed on the ultrasonically cleaned surfaces of the three alloys after exposure to SRB. The biocide treatment reduced the number of SRB on the surfaces of the alloys. Results indicated that C-90 and L-80 alloys exhibited better MIC resistance than N-80 under the conditions used in this study.

The average specific growth rate of C. reinhardtii (${\mu}$) was decreased with increase in biocide concentrations. The toxicity of biocides toward was as follows (in descending order of toxicities): herbicide 〉 pesticide 〉fungicide. $EC_{50}$ in each biocide was 0.0017 mg/L, 1.06 mg/L and 13.3 mg/L for herbicide, pesticide and fungicide respectively. When herbicide and pesticide were mixed, $EC_{50}$ was decreased by $2.7{\times}10^{-7}mg/L$. $EC_{50}$ in effective components of each biocide was 5.26 mg/L, 9.37 mg/L and 20.58 mg/L for herbicide, pesticide and fungicide respectively. Mixed main components of herbicide and pesticide caused to decrease by 3.10 mg/L.

In this study, a chloroform consumer chemical product (CCP) reference material (RM) is successfully developed, with potential to be used in the proficiency testing of hazardous compounds in CCPs for analysis and testing agencies. Validation experiments are rigorously conducted to evaluate whether the RM meets the requirements set by the ISO 13528 and ISO Guide 35, using a reliable GC/MS method for the analysis of chloroform. The obtained calibration plot linearity, limit of detection (LOD), and limit of quantitation (LOQ) are excellent. The developed RM meets the homogeneity and stability requirements; the between-unit (s_bb) and within-unit (s_wb) standard deviations are less than 2.5%, and the stability is found to be guaranteed for 50 days.

선박건조에 사용되는 도료 중 SPC(self-polishing copolymer) A/F(anti-fouling) 도료의 주된 기능은 해양생물의 부착 등 해양생물에 의한 오염을 방지하는 방오성능으로 인식되어 왔으나, 최근 방오성능 뿐 아니라 선박의 운항 시 선체저항을 줄임으로써 발생되는 연료절감효과와 선박의 미관을 위한 변색지연 등 SPC A/F 도료의 다른 기능에 많은 관심을 가지게 되었다. 이러한 관심과 사용자의 요구에 따라 도료사에서는 항력의 감소를 가져 올 수 있는 Silyl acrylate copolymer로 디자인 된 Silyl acrylate SPC A/F 도료를 개발하였으나 SPC A/F 도료의 방오제(biocides) 종류에 따른 방오성능 차이를 비교 평가 할 수 있는 객관적 자료가 부족하여, 본 연구를 통해 SPC A/F 도료의 종류 별 방오성능을 평가하고자 한다.

To be applied to a humid environment such as bathroom and kitchen, sealant should have good adhesion, tensile strength, etc., it also have the resistance to fungal contamination from the environment. It is important to select right material for sanitary sealing application in order to prevent premature discoloration and fungal activities. Especially for high humidity conditions, it is crucial to have longer mildew and fungal resistance. In this article, we intended to give guide lines for developing right sanitary sealing material and practical test method for evaluating anti-fungal performances reflecting Korean residential life style.

Tributyltin (TBT) is also recognized as an endocrine disrupter. Organotin compounds such as TBT are widely used as agricultural biocides, and for antifouling paint of ship bottoms and of fishing nets. In this study, we investigated the role of nur 77 in induction of apoptosis in TBT-induced leydig cells.(omitted)
