본 연구에서는 황-이용 독립영양 탈질을 위한 경제적이면서도 효율적인 알칼리원의 선정을 위하여 숯, 연탄재, 패각 및 석회석을 대상으로 희분식 실험 및 연속실험을 실시하여 $NO_3{^-}-N$ 부하에 따른 탈질효율을 파악하였다. 희분식 실험 결과 패각 및 석회석이 가장 우수한 산 중화능력을 보였으나, 넓은 표면적을 가진 패각이 석회석보다 알칼리도 공급능력이 더 좋은 것으로 나타났으며, 황과 패각간의 혼합비는 1/1 (V/V)이 가장 효율적인 것으로 판단되었다. $NO_3{^-}-N$의 농도를 증가시키면서 수행한 연속실험 결과, 116 g $NO_3{^-}-N/m^3-day$의 부하까지는 90% 이상의 탈질효율을 나타내었으나, 145 g $NO_3{^-}-N/m^3-day$의 부하에서는 탈질효옳이 48%로 악화 되었다. 제거된 $NO_3{^-}-N$ 1 g당 생성된 $SO_4{^{2-}}$의 양은 평균 7.02 g으로 이론값인 7.54 g보다 낮게 나타났다. $NO_3{^-}-N$의 탈질은 반응속도상수가 평균 0.146/hr인 1차 반응으로, 그리고 $SO_4{^{2-}}$의 생성은 반응속도상수가 평균 -53.1 mg/L-hr인 0차 반응으로 나타났다. $NO_3{^-}-N$의 탈질량에 비례하여 가스가 발생되었는데, 질소 물질수지를 따진 결파 제거된 질소중 71~109%, 평균 90%가 $N_2$가스로 회수되었다.

There has been an immense need for elaborate studies on the complications and the neuological sequelae generated by acute carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning which is highly prevalent in Korea due to widespread adoption of the anthracite coal briquette as domestic fuel for heating and for cooking. For this epidemiological study, a total of 444 subjects who received hospital emergency care for acute CO poisoning during the period of March 1982 to February 1983 were randomly selected from the emergency patients's lists of 13 general hospitals in Seoul area. Informations on the neurological sequelae were elucidated by means of home visiting with prearranged questionnaire consisting questions and concise neurological examination. The findings obtained were summarized as follows; 1. The complications were found in 18% of the surveyed and acute decubitus was comprised 67.5% of the complications. 2. The total cumulative incidence of the neurological sequelae was 41.2 per 100 patients and the absolute incidence rate regardless of the duration after poisoning was 40.8%. 3. The incidence of the neurological sequelae was higher in the older age than in the younger and also higher in female than in male. Twice higher incidence was observed in the admitted patients than in the non-admitted patients and the incidence became higher in proportion to the duration of CO exposure, coma and admission. The poorer the consciousness level of patients found, at emergency room and at discharge, the higher the incidence. The incidence of the neurological sequelae by emergency care was higher in hyperbaric oxygen therapy group(51.9%) than in 100% $O_2$ group(38.0%) 4. A total of five variables significantly associated with the occurrence of the neurological sequelae were selected by the stepwise discriminant analysis. The variables were following course of emergency care, age, consciousness level at discharge, admission duration, and consciousness level at emergency room in their sequence of discriminant power. Eight variables were selected as those associated with the degree of the neurological sequelae through the stepwise multiple regression analysis. Of these variables, the acute decubitus alone explained 21.1% of the total variation ana all the eight variables could explain 36.5% of the same. The remaining seven variables listed in the order of their relative importance were: age, consciousness level at discharge, admission duration, coma duration and consciousness level at emergency room. 5. It was postulated that unexpectedly high incidence of the neurological sequelae of the CO poisoning in this epidemiological study was mainly due to the inadequate emergency care and the lack of efficient and sophisticated treatment measure. In the effort to minimize the incidence of grave neurological sequelae of acute CO poisoning, new guidelines for the emergency care and treatment should be pursued with efficient ways.

Living conditions of the rural elderly were assessed in terms of clothing behavior, health and nutritional status, housing and envioronmental condition, and psychological adjustment. The subjects were eighty individuals over sixty residing in the rural community of Iksan-kun, Chollabukdo. The interview method using questionnaires, direct measurement, and observation was used for this study. Data were compared with those obtained from a previous study of the elderly residing in an urban area. Clothing behavior showed that the elderly residing in the rural community were more concerned about plain and conservative design of clothes than their urban counterparts. Special protective clothes for cropdusting with agricultural chemicals had not been prepared. The following urgent needs were pointed out: development and supply of agricultural chemical protective clothing and development and education of appropriate washing and clothing care methods. The health status of the elderly was generally good, but poor eating habits were found more frequently in the rural elderly than among the urban dwellers. Several dietary nutrient intakes were insufficient. Contrasting the urban elderly with the rural group, it was found that the urban group lacked sufficient vitamin A and vitamin C and the urban women had insufficient calorie whereas the rural group was deficient in protein, vitamin A, calorie, and fat. A significant relationship was found between dietary nutrient intake and health index, food habit points, self recognized health status, meal satisfaction, and economic status. Urgent needs of the development of a nutrition education program for the elderly were pointed out. Most of elderly residing in the surveyed rural communities were living alone or with their spouse only, therefore only one room was used among the three or four available rooms. Most of the rural elderly were living either in a traditional Korean house built with differing floor levels or in a modified Korean style house. Minimal modernization had been made for kitchen facilities such as sink and gas range or for heating facilities with the briquette boiler. However, sanitary space such as lavatory and bathroom had not been remodeled. A housing welfare program for rural communities should be implemented at the national level. The comparison of psychological characteristics of the rural elderly with their city counterparts revealed that the rural elderly have a more stable psychological status and optimistic attitude than those living in a city. However, it was found that most of the elderly did not have any future plan. Community programs for the elderly including hobbies or leisure activities or education programs to generate close interpersonal relationships with their children should be developed and provided.

난방기기에 의한 화재는 다양한 난방기기의 종류처럼 그 원인도 다양하고. 매년 계속되는 전통재래시장에서의 난방기기에 의한 화재사고가 빈번히 발생하여 인명 및 재산상의 손실을 초래하고 있다. 일반주택이나 아파트 등 대부분의 주거시설은 난방용 보일러가 보급되어 난방기기로 인한 화재가 그리 많지 않으나 식당, 시장의 점포와 사무실, 체육관, 공장, 작업장 등에서는 여전히 석유난로, 전기난로 등 난방기기를 사용 하고 있어 화재의 위험성에 노출되어 있다. 또한 난방용 기기의 발생건수를 살펴보면 가정용보일러, 목탄난로, 석유난로, 가스난로/스토브, 전기스토브/히터 순으로 발생한 것으로 분석되었으며, 인명피해 별 건수는 가스난로/스토브, 석유난로 /곤로, 전기히터/스토브, 연탄/석탄난로 순으로 분석되었다. 또한 가스 및 석유관련 난방용기기가 발생빈도(frequency)는 낮지만 화재강도(intensity)가 높은 것으로 분석 되었다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 다중이용시설인 전통재래시장에서 아직도 많이 사용되고 있고, 실제 화재발생사례가 많은 석유난로와 전기스토브에 의한 발화 위험성 즉 최소발화온도, 탄화 정도와 그에 따른 열유속을 정상상태와 비정상상태 하에서의 가연물의 접촉 및 전도로 인한 화재 발생 가능성을 재연하여 검토해 봄으로서 보다 과학적인 화재조사 및 감식 접근방법을 강구하고자 하였다. 재연실험 결과 실험체 2종(석유난로/전기스토브) 모두 양호한 축열 조건이 만들어지지 않는 한 발화위험성은 극히 적은 것으로 나타났지만 탄화의 상태는 각 부위별로 진행되는 것으로 분석되었다. 결국 화재로의 전이는 축열에 의한 발화이므로 최소한 화재장소의 축열 온도조건이 $500^{\circ}C$ 이상일 때 발화되는 것으로 분석되었다. 특히 전기스토브의 발열체인 석영관인 경우 가장 짧은 시간 내(10sec)에 $600^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도로 급 가열 되어 이때의 열유속은 6.26kW/m2으로 나타나 이는 보온된 PVC케이블이 손상과 함께 인체에는 2도 화상을 입히는 결과를 나타내는 것으로 분석 되었다. 아울러 온도 조건 이외에 거리변화에 따른 열량의 감소분을 나타내는 형태계수(Geometric View Factor)와 화재하중(Fire Load)에 따른 온도 변화도 고려되어야 할 중요한 변수임 알았다. 따라서 이에 관한 세심한 화재조사 및 감식의 매뉴얼이 있어야 할 것으로 사료되며 이러한 실험에 의한 과학적이고 합리적인 노력들이 향후 화재조사 및 감식에 대한 매뉴얼 작성과 이론적 토대를 세우는데 기여하기를 기대한다.
