폐수 방류수 중에 포함될 수 있는 내분비계 장애물질의 제거를 위해 생물학적 영양소 제거 공정에 존재하는 질산화 슬러지의 효용성을 탐색하여 보았다. 질산화 슬러지에 포함된 암모니아 산화균은 ammonia monooxygenase(AMO) 활성에 의해 암모니아 산화를 유발하는데, AMO의 기질 특이성이 낮아 암모니아 산화와 동시에 다양한 화합물이 공산화된다고 알려져 왔다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 공산화 활성이 내분비계 장애물질의 제거에 효과적인지 판단하기 위해, 질산화 슬러지, 유기물산화 슬러지, 멸균 슬러지를 각각 이용하여 3가지의 모델물질(bisphenol A(BPA), nonylphenol(NP), dibutyl phthalate(DBP))에 대한 제거 효율을 비교하였다. 질산화 슬러지에 의한 분해에서는 3가지 모델물질 모두, 배지 중에 질소원으로 아질산염보다 암모늄염을 이용했을 때의 초기 분해속도가 빠르게 나타나서 암모니아 산화 활성과 모델 물질의 분해가 관련이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 반면에 아질산염을 공급한 질산화슬러지에서나 혹은 질산화 활성이 낮은 유기물산화 슬러지를 이용한 경우는 일정한 적응 시간이 지난 이후에 모델 물질들의 분해가 시작되었다. 이는 모델 물질을 탄소원으로 이용하는 균주의 성장 및 활성이 일정한 적응 시간 이후에 나타난 것으로 보인다. 모델 물질의 제거에 슬러지에 의한 물리적 흡착이 어느 정도 기여하는지 확인하기 위해서 멸균 슬러지를 이용한 흡착 제거를 시도하였다. 초기 투입량의 10~20% 내외가 흡착에 의해 상등액에서 제거되었는데, 이를 통해 폐수 슬러지를 이용한 BPA, NP, DBP의 제거에는 물리적 흡착보다는 생물학적 분해 기작이 더 중요한 것으로 보인다.

Many methods have been developed for screening chemicals with hormonal activity. Using recombinant yeasts expressing either human estrogen receptor [Saccharomyces cerevisiae ER + LYS 8127 (YER)] or androgen receptor [S. cerevisiae AR + 8320 (YAR)], we evaluated the hormonal activities of several chemicals by induction of ${\beta}-galactosidase$ activity. The chemicals were $17{\beta}-estradiol$ (E2), testosterone (T), ${\rho}-nonylphenol$ (NP), bisphenol A (BPA), genistein (GEN), 2-bromopropane (2-BP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP), di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), and butylparaben (BP). To assess the estrogenicity of NP, the result of the in vitro recombinant yeast assay was compared with an E-screen assay using MCF-7 human breast cancer cells and an uterotrophid assay using ovariectomized mice. In the YER yeast cells, E2, NP, BPA, GEN, and BP exhibited estrogenicity in a doseresponse manner, while TCDD did not. All the chemicals tested, except T, did not show androgenicity in the YAR yeast cell. The sensitivity of the yeast (YER) assay system to the estrogenic effect of NP was similar to that of the E-screen assay. NP was also estrogenic in the uterotrophic assay. However, in terms of convenience and costs, the yeast assay was superior to the E-screen assay or uterotrophic assay. These results suggest that the recombinant yeast assay can be used as a rapid tool for detecting chemicals with hormonal activities.

본 연구는 열유도 상분리법(thermally induced phase separation, TIPS)을 사용하여, 수처리 분리막에 적용하기 위해, 응고조의 열용량의 변화를 위해 서로 다른 두 용액의 함량을 조절하였다. 또한, 온도의 변화를 통해 분리막의 구조 변화에 대하여 관찰하였다. 분리막을 제조하기 위한 소재로는 수처리 분리막에 주로 이용되는 기계적 물성과 내화학성이 우수한 poly (vinylidene fluoride)(PVDF)를 사용하였고, 첨가제로 실리카를 이용하였다. 희석제는 PVDF와 호환성이 좋은 dioctyl phthalate (DOP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP)를 사용하였다. 응고액의 함량 변화에 따른 열용량 변화에 따라 제조된 분리막의 구조를 관찰하기 위해 SEM 이미지를 촬영하였다. 열용량이 증가할수록 PVDF의 결정화 속도가 느려져 큰 기공을 나타내며 열용량이 작을수록 결정화 속도가 증가하여 작은 기공이 생기는 것을 확인하였다.

Alcohol consumption and exposure to endocrine disruptors and industrial solvents have been implicated in impaired spermatogenesis, increase in the incidence of malformed sperm and decrease in the percentage of moving sperm. The aim of this study was to determine and compare the direct effects of some organic solvents(bisphenol A; BPA, dibutyl phthalate; DBP, formaldehyde; HCHO, dimethylsulphoxide; DMSO, ethanol) on mucus penetration distance, motility and survival rate of human sperm in vitro. Semen samples from 3 health subjects were prepared using swim-up method and 0.0005-0.5% organic solvents were added to the test medium. BPA, DBP, HCHO and DMSO produced significant decreases in the motility and survival rate with a different potency. The most potent inhibition of mucus penetration distance, motility and survival rate was observed after exposure to HCHO. A concentration of 0.0005% HCHO significantly inhibited sperm motility. When ethanol m.: added directly to sperm, at concentrations equivalent to that in serum after heavy drinking, these damaging effects were lowest compared with other solvents. Present study shows that each compound has different toxic potency to human sperm and we need special caution for the use of HCHO.

Poly (vinylchloride) (PVC) membrane electrodes based on neutral carrier, tetracycline was prepared as an active sensor for Hg(II) ion, and tested in different contents of the potassium tetrakis (4-chlorophenyl) borate (KTpClPB) as lipophilic salt. Bis (2-ethylhexyl) sebacate (DOS), bis(l-butylpentyl) adipate (BBPA), 2-nitrophenyl octyl ether (NPOE) and dibutyl phthalate (DBP) were used as diverse plasticizing solvent mediators. This electrode shows excellent potentiometric response characteristics and display good linearity with log $[Hg^{+2}]$ versus EMF response, over a range of concentrations between $10^{-7}$ and $10^{-3}M$. With 30.8mV/decade Nernstian slope, the detection limit was $6.9{\times}10^{-9}M$ and the response time was less than 20s. The proposed electrode yields very good selectivity for mercury (II) ion over many cations such as alkali, alkaline earth, transition and heavy metal ions. And it shows a very stable potential values in a wide pH range. This reliable electrode prepared was kept at least a month without considerable alteration in their response to Hg (II) ion.

This work has been conducted to develop a method for the analysis of neutral volatile flavors and their precursors in tobacco. The neutral volatile compounds and precursors in tobaccos have been investigated by Neutral Volatile scan method(NV scan) using Soxhlet extractor. The method has been used to analyze a range of different tobaccos and tobacco products. Neutral flavor compounds were classified as three sections(1st Volatile Fraction, Breakdown Flavor Products and Cembranoid Precursors). The major components of the First Volatile Fraction were 2-cyclohexene-1-one, 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one, limonene and phenyl ethanol. The major components of Breakdown Flavor Products were isophorone, solanone, damascenone, 3-hydroxy-$\beta$-damascone, geranyl acetone, $\beta$-ionone, dihydroactinidiolide, norsolanadione, neophytadiene, hexahydrofarnesylacetone, farnesyl acetone and megastigmatrienone. The major cembranoid precursor compounds were dibutyl phthalate, duvatrenediols, 8,12-epoxy-14-labden-13-ol, 11-hydroperoxy-2,7,12(20)-cembratriene-4,6-diol, 12,15-epoxy-12,14-labadien-8-ol, 2,7,11-cembratrien-4,6-diol and 8,13-epoxy-14-labdien-12-ol. The NV scna results of tobacco types(flue-cured, burley and oriental) showed that each tobacco type has a characteristic flavor component profile.

A PVC membrane electrode for lead ion based on 1-phenyl-2-(2-quinolyl)-1,2-dioxo-2-(4-bromo) phenylhydrazone (PQDBP) as ionophore was demonstrated. The optimum composition of the membrane was 30 wt% poly(vinyl chloride), 60 wt% dibutyl phthalate as a plasticizer, 4 wt% ionophore and 6 wt% sodium tetraphenylborate as additive. The electrode exhibits a Nernstian response (28.7 mV decade$^{-1}$) for Pb$^{2+}$ over a wide concentration range (1.0 ${\times}$ 10$^{-1}$ to 1 ${\times}$ 10$^{-6}$ M) with a detection limit of 6.0 ${\times}$ 10$^{-7}$ M. This sensor has a short response time and can be used for at least 2 months without any divergence in potentials. The proposed electrode could be used in a pH range of 3.0-6.0 and revealed good selectivities for Pb$^{+2}$ over a wide variety of other metal ions. It was successfully applied as an indicator electrode for the potentiometric titration of lead ion with potassium chromate and for the direct determination of lead in mine.
