A survey performed on property of water usage, a recognition and stand on water, and awareness of practice related to water saving among primary and secondary teachers in Daegu metropolitan city leads to the following result. First, regarding the actual condition of water usage, boiled tap water was most preferred, followed by purified tap water, mineral water, and water from a mineral spring respectively. Second, the result of a survey regarding a recognition and stand on water presents that the quality of purified water and mineral water is generally trusted, not including tap water. A majority of teachers barely had any ideas on the process of tap water supplies and sewage disposal system. Third, another survey was performed to determine whether there's a gender difference on a general recognition of and stand on water usage, actual practice of water saving and love for water. As a result, 7 out of 25 questions showed the difference of significance by p<.05. As for tap water service and sewage disposal system, there were differences on 5 out of 6 questions, indicating that male teachers are more knowledgable than their female counterparts. Fourth, the result of the research about the recognition and attitudes about water and water saving of the teachers who were categorized by the age group showed that 14 questions of the 25 questions had differences in p<.05 level.

The adaptabilities of various nitrohumates (-K, -Na and $-NH_4$ salt) as a soil conditioner and a raw material for soluble phosphatic fertilizer were studied. 1. Nitrohumates (especially $-NH_4$ salt) protect the soil from fissures and control the phosphoric acid adsorptive functions of soils considerably. 2. Most effective nitrohumic acids as a soil conditioner were prepared with 15% $HNO_3$ solution composed of five times of original humic acids (by weight) at $80^{\circ}C$ for 2 hrs under continuous stirring. 3. When 50% (by weight) of $NH_4$-nitrohumate were added to apatites in water and boiled for 2 hrs, maximum 26% of $P_2O_5$(apatite contains 37% of $P_2O_5$) were changed into water soluble forms.

This study aimed to determine the effects of cooking treatment on chromaticity and 6 mineral contents (calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, sodium and potassium) in sea mustards. Four samples of natural and cultured sea mustard were used for the experiments. Each sample was treated with four cooking methods (A: soaked in water, B: boiled in hot water, C: saute and boiled in hot water, D: seasoned with vinegar). The L, a and b values were the highest on boiling, and the lowest on seasoning with vinegar. The a value of cultured sea mustard was higher than the natural one by cooking. Moisture was highest boiling and were ordered as saute and boiling, soaking and seasoning with vinegar. Calcium, iron, magnesium and phosphorus contents were remarkably decreased by seasoning with vinegar. Boiling treatment made less decrease than saut and boiling in these mineral contents. The solubilities of mineral in soup water were recognized therefore, it indicated that soup water was a good source of minerals as it applies to cooking, from the view point of science of cookery. Sodium and potassium contents decreased significantly more at 68% and 85% of total content on basic soaking treatment. Ca/P ratio was about 1∼3 : 1 in cultured sea mustard and 3∼4 : 1 levels in natural one.

The purpose of this study is to investigate effects of natural incense on the preservation of paper- and textile-based remains and the kinds and applications of natural anti-insect incense by reviewing relevant literatures of the ancient times. There are few ancient literatures of incense published in Korea. The researcher deducted how incense was used in this nation through reviewing verses contained in ancient literatures and medical books. In contrast, the kinds and applications of anti-insect incense used in China, where incense culture prospered, were investigated here through reviewing technical books about incense published during the Song(宋) and Ming(明) periods, $\ll$Incense record(香譜)$\gg$, $\ll$Chen's Incense record(陳氏香譜)$\gg$ and $\ll$Incense record(香乘)$\gg$. There were several methods of keeping clothes better from insects. In relation, how to use anti-insect incense varied in accordance with main materials of clothes, paper, textile, leather and others. Cymbopogon dstans(芸香), Brassica rapu var and Incarvillea sinensis(角蒿) are anti-insect incense which were used for paper. Anti-insect incense for textiles is classified into single and mixed incenses depending on whether only one kind of incense was used or more than seven kinds of the substance. Acori rhizoma(菖蒲), Capsella bursa-pastoris(薺菜花), Lactuca sativa L., Erigeron canadensis(莽草), Stemona japonica(百部) and Moschus sifanicus(麝香) are single anti-insect incense which were used for textile. While, the latter was called. ‘Yi Xiang(衣香)’ is mixed anti-insect incense which was used for textile. Artemisia asiatica(艾葉) and Zanthoxylum schinifolium(花椒) are anti-insect incense which were used for leather. Angelica dahurica(芳香) and Bamboo are anti-insect incense which were used for others. There were three main methods of using incense to prevent insects, that is, diffusing incense's strong scent and ingredients, exposing to smokes from burnt incense and washing with incense-boiled water. Diffusing incenses had a strong scent and antibiotic ingredients, which were put between books or clothes or into a storage box without being processed. If necessary, however, they were processed into rough powders that were in turn used singly, or otherwise mixed for a stronger scent and better insect elimination. Exposing to smokes from burnt incense was done as follows. A clothes was put on 'Long(籠)' underneath which there was a boiling water. The clothes was humidified by the water and then exposed to smokes from burnt incense. 'Long(籠)' had been long used since it was manufactured in the QinHan(秦漢) period for the first time. A local literature, $\ll$Koryo TuGing(高麗圖經)$\gg$ shows that in the Koryo(高麗) period, BoShaLu(博山爐) were used as a means of exposing clothes to smokes to prevent moths, similarly to China. Washing clothes with incense-boiled water was more effective in removing lots of worms and germs from clothes, but leaving the scent and ingredients of the used incense and maintaining the effect of anti-insect.

Styrene dimers and trimers from polystyrene cup noodle containers were analyzed by GC and GC/MS extracted with various simulants. For the quantitation of styrene dimers and trimers, 1,3-diphenylpropane (DP) and benzyln-butyl phthalate (BBP) were chosen as the standards. The results showed that the average of the styrene dimers in the containers was 603 ppm, and that of trimers was 5731 ppm. Four styrene dimers, including 1,2-diphenyl-cyclobutane, were identified as well as seven trimers such as 2,4,6-triphenyl-l-hexene. The migration of the styrene dimers and trimers, from the cup noodle containers of polystyrene into foods, was conducted using simulants including boiling water as well as soybean oil and n-heptane. In addition to, the analysis of each migrated styrene was also performed filled with boiling water into noodle and soup after certain time (5, 10, 20, 30 min). The results showed that the migration of styrene dimers and trimers from cup noodle containers was not detected in the case of using boiled water or soybean oil as a simulant, while styrene dimers and trimers were detected 1.18 ppm and 14.21 ppm, respectively, when heptane was adopted as a simulant. In the case of filling with boiled water into noodle and soup, both styrenes were not detected at 5 min and 10 min, however, some samples standing for 20 min released styrene dimers and trimers as much as 0.009 ppm, and 0.019 ppm for 30 min.

Spices are used to enhance the taste of Korean food. The term "Yangnyeom" contains a wishful meaning that it would be as good for health as medicine when eaten. It is prescribed as a medicine to heal disease according to the ancient medical books. Fifteen spices in Korean food such as vinegar, liquor, honey, water, wheat-gluten, sesame, sesame oil, garlic, green onion, ginger, mustard, pepper, cinnamon, soy sauce, salt, cheoncho, and others are prescribed as medicine for internal and external uses for almost every disease. To examine these spices, the subjects were treated with either the spice-boiled water or spice-mixed water, or applied externally. It is suggested that spices that are produced through peculiar traditional cooking method, fermenting, and those that have long-growth period, grew in the natural environment, and the like have efficacy as medicine. Spices can be sufficiently applied as emergency medicine, disease-treatment, subsidiary supplement, and preventive medicine.
