Objectives: The lung cancer mortality in Korea has increased remarkably during the last 20 years, and has been the first leading cause of cancer-related deaths since 2000. The aim of the current study was to examine the time trends of occupational lung cancer and carcinogens exposure during the period 2006-2009 in South Korea, by assessing the proportion of occupational burden. Methods: We defined occupational lung cancer for surveillance, and developed a reporting protocol and reporting website for the surveillance of occupational lung cancer. The study patients were chosen from 9 participating university hospitals in the following 7 areas: Seoul, Incheon, Wonju, Daejeon, Daegu, Busan, and Gwangju. Results: The combined proportion of definite and probable occupational lung cancer among all lung cancers investigated in this study was 10.0%, 8.6%, 10.7%, and 15.8% in the years 2006 to 2009, respectively, with an average of 11.7% over the four-year study period. The main carcinogens were asbestos, crystalline silica, radon, polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), diesel exhaust particles, chromium, and nickel. Conclusion: We estimated that about 11.7% of the incident lung cancer was preventable. This reveals the potential to considerably reduce lung cancer by intervention in occupational fields.

In this study, glass fibers are fabricated via a continuous spinning process using manganese slag, steel slag, and silica stone. To fabricate the glass fibers, raw materials are put into an alumina crucible, melted at $1550^{\circ}C$ for 2 hrs, and then annealed at $600^{\circ}C$ for 2 hrs. We obtain a black colored glass. We identify the non-crystalline nature of the glass using an XRD(x-ray diffractometer) graph. An adaptable temperature for spinning of the bulk marble glass is characterized using a high temperature viscometer. Spinning is carried out using direct melting spinning equipment as a function of the fiberizing temperature in the range of $1109^{\circ}C$ to $1166^{\circ}C$, while the winder speed is in the range of 100rpm to 250rpm. We investigate the various properties of glass fibers. The average diameters of the glass fibers are measured by optical microscope and FE-SEM. The average diameter of the glass fibers is $73{\mu}m$ at 100rpm, $65{\mu}m$ at 150rpm, $55{\mu}m$ at 200rpm, and $45{\mu}m$ at 250rpm. The mechanical properties of the fibers are confirmed using a UTM(Universal materials testing machine). The average tensile strength of the glass fibers is 21MPa at 100rpm, 31MPa at 150rpm, 34MPa at 200rpm, and 45MPa at 250rpm.

Objectives: The objective of this study is to investigate exposure to occupational carcinogens in the nationwide electronics industries and to establish a strategy for control of occupational carcinogens in South Korea. Methods: We evaluated occupational carcinogens as defined by International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) using a nationwide work environment measurement database on the electronics industry in South Korea measured between 2013 and 2017 in accordance with the Occupational Safety and Health Act. Results: The number of occupational carcinogens found in the electronics industry in South Korea were: 20 for IARC Group 1, 14 for Group 2A, and 30 for Group 2B. The occupational carcinogens (Group 1) most frequently exposed were strong-inorganic-acid mists containing sulfuric acid (sulfuric acid), welding fumes, mineral oils (untreated or mildly treated), nickel compounds, silica dust, crystalline substances in the form of quartz or cristobalite, formaldehyde, arsenic and inorganic arsenic compounds, chromium (VI) compounds, trichloroethylene, cadmium and cadmium compounds, vinyl chloride, ethylene oxide, wood dust, beryllium and beryllium compounds, 1,3 butadiene, benzene, and others. Among them, the carcinogens (Group 1) exceeding the acceptable standard were trichloroethylene, formaldehyde, and ethylene oxide. The working environment measurement system as regulated by Occupational Safety and Health Act is not properly assessed and managed for occupational carcinogens in South Korea. A component analysis for all materials used should be set up to practically reduce occupational carcinogens. A ban on the use of occupational carcinogens and the development of alternative materials are needed. The occupational carcinogens below the acceptable standards should be carefully examined and a new standard for exposure needs to be established. Conclusions: The Occupational Safety and Health Act should be improved to identify and monitor occupational carcinogens at work sites. A strategy for occupational safety and health systems should be provided to give direction to workers' needs and right to know.

본 연구는 광산 작업장에서 발생하는 분진중 알파쿼츠(α-quartz), 크리스토발라이트(cristobalite), 카오린나이트(kaolinite)를 FTIR로 정량하기 위한 연구이다. 광산에 있는 다양한 광물들은 결정형 산화규소를 FTIR로 정량할 때 피크에 간섭을 일으킬 수 있다. 따라서 정확한 정량을 위해서는 방해물질을 제거하거나 간섭을 일으킨 피크의 보정이 필요하다. 알파쿼츠, 크리스토발라이트, 카오린나이트에서 발생하는 피크의 위치를 확인하기 위해 각각의 표준물질을 KBr로 희석하여 FTIR로 400 cm^-1에서 4000 cm^-1까지 스캔하였다. 그 결과, α-quartz는 797.66 cm^-1와 695.25 cm^-1, cristobalite는 621.58 cm^-1, kaolinite는 3696.47 cm^-1 파장의 피크를 분석에 적용하기로 하였다. 위의 물질들을 혼합할 경우 정량을 위한 파장에서 피크 간섭이 발생하는데 이를 계산식을 이용해 보정 하였다. α-quartz와 cristobalite 혼합물을 분석한 결과 α-quartz (797.66 cm^-1)에서의 평균편의(%)는 2.64(보정값), α-quartz (695.25 cm^-1)에서 5.61 (비보정값), cristobalite (621.58 cm^-1)에서 1.51 (비보정값)가 나왔다. α-quartz와 kaolinite의 혼합물의 평균편의(%)는 α-quartz (797.66 cm^-1)에서 1.79 (보정값), α-quartz (695.25 cm^-1)에서 3.92 (보정값), kaolinite (3696.47 cm^-1)에서 2.58 (비보정)였고, cristobalite와 kaolinite의 혼합물의 평균편의(%)는 cristobalite (621.58 cm^-1)에서 2.15 (보정값), kaolinite (3696.47 cm^-1)에서 4.32 (비보정)였다. 세 가지 혼합물을 일정량 혼합한 시편 분석 결과 평균편의는 α-quartz (797.66 cm^-1)에서 1.93 (보정값), α-quartz (695.25 cm^-1)에서 6.47 (보정값), cristobalite (621.58 cm^-1)에서 1.77 (보정값), kaolinite (3696.47 cm^-1)에서 2.61( 비보정)이었다. 실험 결과는 2가지 또는 3가지 물질에 의한 피크 간섭으로 발생한 편차를 평균 편의 6 % 이하로 보정 할 수 있었다. 이 연구로 제거가 힘든 다양한 방해물질이 혼합되었을 경우 보정하여 정량할 수 있는 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.
