찰옥수수 전분을 차아염소산 나트륨$(0{\sim}60{\;}mg/s{\;}starch)$과 반응시켜 제조한 찰옥수수 산화전분의 이화학적 특성 및 유화 안정성에 미치는 영향에 대하여 연구하였다. 찰옥수수 산화전분의 일반성분 중 조지방질 및 조단백질 함량은 차아염소산 나트륨 처리량의 증가에 따라 감소하여 조단백질 함량과 백색도와 부의 상관관계$(R^2=0.9847)$를 나타내었고 조회분 함량은 증가하여 염소 함량과정의 상관관계$(R^2=0.9693)$를 나타내었다. 산화전분의 카르복시기 함량은 활성염소 첨가 농도에 비례하여 증가하였다. 호화액의 점도는 차아염소산 나트륨 처리량에 따라 현저히 감소하였고, 용해도와 팽윤력은 산화도가 높을 수록 증가하었으며, 광투과도는 치환도가 증가할 수록 낮은 온도에서 높은 투과도를 나타내어 화화개시온도가 약 $15^{\circ}C$낮아졌고, 호화액의 투명도 또한 개선되었다. 물결합능력은 치환도가 증가할 수록 생성된 카르복시기로 인하여 감소하였다. 찰옥수수 전분의 입자는 다각형과 원형의 혼합물로 크기는 $3.7{\sim}20\;{\mu}m$였으며, 차아염소산 나트륨 처리량이 증가할 수록 전분 표면이 거칠어졌다. 찰옥수수 산화전분과 옥배유를 균질화하여 저장하는 동안 유화액은 산화전분의 치환도가 높을 수록 전분의 농도가 증가할 수록 유화 안정성이 증가하였다.

The Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC) existing in a water includes both hydrophobic and hydrophilic substances however, most of the discussion focuses on hydrophobic substances. The hydrophobic fraction was easily removed by absorption or coagulation more than hydrophilic fraction. Therefore, control of the hydrophilic fraction is very important in water treatment process. This study is to determine the variation of DOC, the removal efficiency of DOC, and Trihalomethane formation potential (THMFP) after each stage of water treatment process by fractionating Natural Organic Matters (NOM) into hydrophobic and hydrophilic substance. DOC from raw water was fractionated at acidic pH (pH<2) using XAD 8 resin column, into two fraction : hydrophobic substance (i.e. humic substance) adsorbed on XAD 8 and hydrophilic substance which represent the organics contained in the final effluent. THMFP was carried out according to the following set condition: Cl2/DOC=4 mg/mg, incubation at $25^{\circ}C$ in darkness, pH 7 adjust with HCl or NaOH as necessary, and 72hour-contact time. THMs analyzed in this study were chloroform, bromodichloromethane, dibromochloromethan, and bromoform. Sewage was almost evenly split between the hydrophobic (56%) and hydrophilic fraction (44%). But, Aldrich humic substance (AHS) was found to contain less hydrophilics (14%) than hydrophobics (86%). The formation of THMs may depend on the source which is characterized by the composition of organic matters such as AHS and sewage. The THMFP yield of sewage and AHS were assessed as follows. The value of the THMFP reaction yield, AHS $172.65{\mu}g/mg$, is much higher than that of sewage $41.68{\mu}g/mg$. This illustrates possible significant difference in THMFP according to the component type and the proportion of organic matter existing in water source. Apparently AHS react with chlorine to produce more THMFP than do the smaller molecules found in sewage. Water treatment process may reduce THMFP, nevertheless residual DOC (the more hydrophilic substance) has significant THMFP. Further reduction in organic halide precursors requires application of alternative treatment techniques.

In aquatic invertebrates, particularly marine gastropods, organotin compounds induce irreversible sexual abnormality in females, which is termed imposex, at very low concentrations. Organotin compounds are agonists for nuclear receptors such as RXRs and $PPAR{\gamma}$. However, the imposex phenomenon has not been reported to act as an antagonist on estrogen receptors in other species, including vertebrates and invertebrates. In order to gain insights into the antagonistic activity of organotin compounds on estrogen receptors (ERs), we examined the inhibitive effect of these compounds on estradiol-dependent ${\beta}$-galactosidase activity using the yeast two-hybrid detection system consisting of a combination of the human estrogen receptor ($hER{\beta}$) ligand-binding domain and the co-activator steroid receptor co-activator-1 (SRC1). Tributyltin-hydroxide (TBT-OH) and triphenyltin-chlorine (TPT-Cl) exhibited an inhibitive effect on $E_2$-dependent transcriptional activity, similar to antagonistic chemicals such as 4-hydroxytamoxifen (OHT) or ICI 182,780, at a very low concentration of $10^{-14}$ M TBT or $10^{-10}$ M TPT, respectively. The yeast growth and transcriptional activity with transcriptional factor GAL4 did not exhibit any effect at the tested concentration of TBT or TPT. Moreover, the yeast two-hybrid system using the interaction between p53 and the T antigen of SV40 large did not describe any effect at the tested concentration of OHT or ICI 182,780. However, the interaction between p53 and T antigen was inhibited at a TBT or TPT concentration of $10^{-9}$ M, respectively. These results indicate that TBT and TPT act as inhibitors of ER-dependent reporter gene transcriptional activation and of the interaction between $hER{\beta}$ LBD and the co-activator SRC1 in the yeast two-hybrid system. Consequently, our data could partly explain the occurrence of organotin compound-induced imposex on the endocrine system of mammals, including humans.

Leakage accidents in businesses dealing with hazardous chemicals can have a great impact on the workers inside the workplace, as well as residents outside the workplace. In fact, there were cases where hazardous chemicals leaked from many businesses. As a result, the Chemicals Control Act(CCA) was enacted in 2015, the Ministry of Environment introduced an Off-site Risk Assessment(ORA). The purpose of the ORA is to secure safety from the installation of the design of the workplace facilities so that chemical accidents of hazardous chemical handling facilities do not cause human or physical damage outside the workplace. In general, the ORA qualitatively determines where a protected facility is within the scope of the accident scenario. However, elderly who belong to the sensitive group is more sensitive than the general group under the same chemical accident effect, and the extent of the damage is serious. According to data from the Korea National Statistic Office, the number of elderly people is expected to increase steadily. Therefore, a quantitative risk analysis considering the elderly is necessary as a result of a chemical accident. In this study, accident scenarios for 14 locations were set up to perform emergency evacuation due to toxic gas leakage of Cl₂(Chlorine) and HF(Hydrogen Fluoride), and the effects of exposure were analyzed based on the evacuation velocity difference of age 20s and 60s. The ALOHA(Areal Locations of Hazardous Atmospheres) program was used to calculate the concentration for assessing the effects. The time of exposure to toxic gas was calculated based on the time it took for the evacuation to run from the start point to the desired point and a methodology was devised that could be applied to the risk calculation. As a result of the study, the relative risk of the elderly, the sensitive group, needs to be determined.

Objectives: To develop the smart sensor to protect worker's health from chemical exposure by adopting ICT (Information and Communications Technology) technologies. Methods: To develope real-time chemical exposure monitoring system, IoT (Internet of Things) sensor technology and regulations were reviewed. We developed and produced smart sensor. A smart sensor is a system consisting of a sensor unit, a communication unit, and a platform. To verify the performance of smart sensors, each sensor has been certified by the Korea Laboratory Accreditation Scheme (KOLAS). Results: Chemicals (TVOC; Total Volatile Organic Compounds, Cl₂: Chlorine, HF: Hydrogen fluoride and HCN: Hydrogen cyanide) were selected according to a priority logic (KOSHA Alert, acute poisoning statistics, literature review). Notifications were set according to OEL (occupational exposure limit). Sensors were selected based on OEL and the capabilities of the sensors. Communication is designed to use LTE (Long Term Evolution) and Wi-Fi at the same time for convenience. Electronic platform were applied to build this monitoring system. Conclusions: Real-time monitoring system for OEL of hazardous chemicals in workplace was developed. Smart sensor can detect chemicals to complement monitoring of traditional workplace environmental monitoring such as short term and peak exposure. Further research is needed to expand the scope of application, improve reliability, and systematically application.

조선왕릉 태릉은 중종의 계비인 문정황후의 무덤으로 다양한 종류의 석조물(석물 24기, 봉분석재 144개)이 배치되어 있다. 이 석조물은 모두 중조립질의 흑운모화강암을 사용하여 제작하였다. 석조물의 주요 손상양상은 물리적 손상과 생물오염으로 확인되며 이 중에서 박리박락(145기), 입상분해(138기), 보수물질(156기)과 함께 생물오염인 조류(154기), 지의류(165기), 선태류(97기)가 높은 발생빈도를 보인다. 특히 생물학적 손상(조류)이 가장 심각한 상태(3등급 이상이 전체 석물의 94%)로 즉각적인 보존처리가 요구되며 부분적으로는 박리박락과 입상분해 등도 중장기적인 보존관리가 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 에코팁 경도와 초음파탐사 결과, 석재의 약 70%이상이 물성이 상당히 취약한 것으로 나타났다. 초분광 분석에서도 봉분석재 표면의 80% 이상에서 생물이 서식하는 것으로 분석되었으며 이 부분에는 P(인), S(황), Cl(염소), Ca(칼슘)이 높게 검출되었다. 이는 태릉이 수백 년 동안 야외에 위치하고 있어 물리적, 화학적 및 생물학적 요인 등에 의해 풍화작용을 받아 왔기 때문이다. 따라서 태릉 석조물 중 물리적 풍화등급이 높은 석물은 물성을 보강하기 위해 강화처리가 필요한 것으로 판단되며 생물은 석재의 손상을 유발할 수 있는 가능성이 높기 때문에 건식 및 습식 세정으로 제거해야 한다. 또한 보존처리 이후 생물의 재발생을 지연하기 위해서는 봉분에 흘러내린 토사를 정기적으로 정리해줄 필요가 있고 장기적으로 보존상태에 대한 모니터링이 필요하다.

최근 우리나라에서는 생활폐기물중 가연성폐기물의 처리방법으로 소각이나 매립처분을 가능한 한 지양하고, 고형연료화(RDF) 등을 통한 자원회수를 도모하기 위해 폐기물의 기계적-생물학적 전처리(MBT, Mechanical Biological Treatment)시설 건설을 활발히 추진하고 있다. 이러한 생활폐기물의 MBT시설에 대한 적정 건설과 운영을 위해서는 먼저 처리 대상이 되는 폐기물의 물리 화학적 성상에 대한 정확한 분석이 이뤄져야 한다. 특히 폐기물의 MBT시설의 주된 프로세스인 파쇄, 선별장치의 적정 설계를 위해서는 폐기물의 입도특성에 대한 정확힌 자료가 제공되어야 하나, 아직 폐기물의 입도특성에 관한 자료는 매우 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 생활폐기물중 가연성폐기물을 대상으로 그들의 입도특성과 입도별 폐기물의 물리화학적 특성을 평가하는데 목적이 있다. 생활폐기물의 시료채취는 수도권 소재 A시의 단독주택, 공동주택, 상가지역 및 업무지역으로 구분하여 실시하였다. 분석결과 발생지역에 관계없이 습윤 기준으로 종이가 29.78~60.02%로 가장 많은 비율을 차지하였다. 원소조성으로는 탄소(C)가 34.77~44.39%로 가장 많은 비율을 차지하였으며, 다음으로 산소(O)가 19.46~33.71%를 차지하는 것으로 나타났다. 고형연료 품질지표인 염소의 경우 0.39~0.83%의 함량을 나타내고 있어 기준치인 2.00% 이하(건조기준)를 만족하고 있었으며, 황(S)함유량도 기준치인 0.60%를 초과하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 입도분석결과 가연분에서는 50~80mm 입도가 가장 많은 비율을 차지하고 있으며, 불연분의 경우 30~50mm가 가장 많은 것으로 나타났다.
