본 연구에서는 전자빔(E-beam) 공정을 이용한 펜타클로로페놀(Pentachlorophenol, PCP)의 분해 특성을 조사하였다. 이를 위해 주어진 반응시간(0.6 s) 동안 생성될 수 있는 각종 반응성 화학종의 농도를 예측하였으며, PCP 분해에 미치는 pH와 과산화수소의 영향 및 이에 따른 G-value 등을 조사하였다. 실험결과, 전자빔공정에서 PCP의 분해는 pH의 영향을 받지 않았다. 1mM 이하의 과산화수소의 주입은 PCP 분해를 촉진시킬 수 있으나 그 이상의 과산화수소의 주입은 오히려 PCP의 분해를 감소시키거나 부산물의 형성을 유도할 것으로 관찰되었다. 특히, 옥살산과 미확인된 유기염소 성분의 농도를 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다. 그래서 전자빔공정에서 수산화라디칼의 발생원으로써 적절한 농도의 과산화수소 주입이 고려되어야 할 것으로 생각된다.

본 연구에서는 전자빔공정(Electron beam process, E-beam)에서 생성되는 수산화라디칼의 생성특성을 조사하였고, 이 공정에 첨가제로 과산화수소와 $Fe^{3+}-EDTA$을 이용한 펜타클로로페놀(Pentachlorophenol, PCP)의 분해 특성을 조사하였다. 이를 위해 수산화라디칼의 측정은 벤조산(Benzoic Acid, BA)에 의한 hydroxylation으로 생성된 hydroxybenzoic acid(OHBA)의 농도를 정량화하여 수행하였다. 실험결과, 실제 측정된 수산화라디칼의 농도는 예측된 수산화라디칼에 비해 낮은 농도로 나타났으며, 이것은 아마도 E-beam 에너지의 조사와 동시에 형성되는 다양한 반응성 화학종이 수산화라디칼을 스케빈져(scavening)할 것으로 생각되었다. 특히, 1mM 이하의 과산화수소 주입은 PCP 분해를 촉진시킬 수 있으나 그 이상의 과산화수소의 주입은 오히려 PCP의 분해를 감소시키거나 PCP의 부산물인 염소이온과 Carbon yield(%)를 증가시키는 요인으로 작용하였다. 반면에, $20{\mu}M$의 $Fe^{3+}-EDTA$ 첨가는 효과적으로 PCP를 제거하였고, 이에 따른 G-value도 증가한 것으로 나타났다. OHBA의 형성과 PCP의 분해를 고려하여 보면, 결과적으로 E-beam공정에 가하는 $Fe^{3+}-EDTA$의 첨가는 상대적으로 낮은 세기에서도 효과적으로 PCP를 처리할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

The photocatalytic degradation of atrazine and PCP, a endocrine disruptors, has been investigated over $TiO_2$ photocatalysts under ultraviolet (UV) light irradiation. The effect of operational parameters, i.e., pH, light intensity and persulphate concentration on the degradation rate of aqueous solution of atrazine and PCP has been examined. The results presented in this work demonstrate that, as pH and the light intensity increased, the photocatalytic reaction rates were enhanced. Individual use of $TiO_2$-persulphate was far more effective than using only $TiO_2$ in atrazine and PCP removal. Based on the overall experimental results, the photocatalytic oxidation of atrazine and PCP with the coated $TiO_2$ photocatalyst is found to be very effective under the operational conditions delineated in this study.

Upon viral infection, the host cell recognizes the invasion through a number of pattern recognition receptors. Melanoma differentiation associated gene 5 (MDA5) and retinoic acid-inducible gene-I (RIG-I) recognize RNA molecules derived from invading viruses, activating down-stream signaling cascades, culminating in the induction of the type I interferon. On the other hand, viruses have evolved to evade type I interferon-mediated inhibition. Hepatitis E virus has been shown to encode a few antagonists of type I interferon and it is not surprising that viruses encode multiple mechanisms of viral evasion. In the present study, we demonstrated that HEV PCP strongly down-regulates MDA5-mediated activation of interferon ${\beta}$ induction in a dose-dependent manner. Interestingly, MDA5 protein expression was almost completely abolished. In addition, polyinosinic polycytidylic acid (poly(I:C))- and Sendai virus-mediated activation of type I interferon responses were similarly abrogated in the presence of HEV PCP. Furthermore, HEV PCP down-regulates several molecules that play critical roles in the induction of type I IFN expression. Taken together, these data collectively suggest that HEV-encoded PCP is a strong antagonist of type I interferon.

An important issue in the oxidation of pentachlorophenol (PCP) by the enzyme horseradish peroxidase (HRP) is enzyme inactivation during the reaction. This study was initiated to investigate the ability of two nonionic surfactants (Tween 20 and Tween 80) to mitigate HRP inactivation. The surfactants were tested at concentrations below and above their critical micelle concentrations (CMCs). Enhancement of PCP oxidation was observed at sub-CMCs, indicating effective protection of HRP by the two surfactants. Maximum levels of PCP removal were observed when the concentrations of Tween 20 and Tween 80 were 40 and 50% of the CMCs, respectively At supra-CMCs, both surfactants caused a noticeable reduction in the extent of PCP removal.

The effects of feeding pelleted citrus pulp (PCP) as a natural antioxidant source on the performance and milk quality of dairy cows fed highly polyunsaturated fatty acid (FA) diets were evaluated. Four lactating Holstein cows were assigned to a $4{\times}4$ Latinsquare. Treatments, on a dry matter (DM) basis, were i) control diet; ii) 3% soybean oil; iii) 3% soybean oil and 9% PCP and; iv) 3% soybean oil and 18% PCP. When cows fed on citrus pulp, the DM intake tended to decrease. The total tract apparent digestibility of DM and ether extract decreased when cows fed on the control diet compared to other diets. Cows fed PCP had higher polyphenols and flavonoids content and higher total ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) in milk compared to those fed no pelleted citrus pulp. Cows fed 18% PCP showed higher monounsaturated FA and lower saturated FA in milk fat compared with cows fed the other diets. The lowest n-6 FA proportion was in milk fat from cows fed control. The present study suggests that pelleted citrus pulp added to 9% to 18% DM increases total polyphenols and flavonoids concentration, and the FRAP in milk.

In this paper, future climate changes over East Asia($20^{\circ}{\sim}50^{\circ}N$, $100^{\circ}{\sim}150^{\circ}E$) are projected by anthropogenic forcing of greenhouse gases and aerosols using coupled atmosphere-ocean general circulation model (AOGCM) simulations based on Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Special Report on Emissions Scenarios (SRES) B1, A1B and A2 scenarios. Before projection future climate, model performance is assessed by the $20^{th}$ Century (20C3M) experiment with bias, root Mean Square Error (RMSE), ratio of standard deviation, Taylor diagram analysis. The result of examination of the seasonal uncertainty of T2m and PCP shows that cold bias, lowered than that of observation, of T2m and wet bias, larger than that of observation, of PCP are found over East Asia. The largest wet bias is found in winter and the largest cold bias is found in summer. The RMSE of temperature in the annual mean increases and this trend happens in winter, too. That is, higher resolution model shows generally better performances in simulation T2m and PCP. Based on IPCC SRES scenarios, East Asia will experience warmer and wetter climate in the coming $21^{st}$ century. It is predict the T2m increase in East Asia is larger than global mean temperature. As the latitude goes high, the warming over the continents of East Asia showed much more increase than that over the ocean. An enhanced land-sea contrast is proposed as a possible mechanism of the intensified Asian summer monsoon. But, the inter-model variability in PCP changes is large.

Degradation efficiency of pentachlorophenol (PCP) by using direct UV photolysis and $TiO_2$ photocatalysis was evaluated with both chemical analyses and acute toxicity assessment employing luminescent bacteria Vibrio fischeri. PCP was chosen as a target compound in this study because of its wide application as fungicide, bactericide, insecticide and wood preservative in agriculture and many industries, in addition to its well-known environmental consequences. The acute toxicity to the microbe was reduced by >60% when applying UV alone, and was completely removed when treated with $UV-TiO_2$ combinations. Toxicity reduction pattern determined with the Microtox Assay generally corresponds with the chemistry data: However, it should be noted that toxicity was greater than expected by the chemistry data. Formation of TCBQ, a toxic byprodut, could not explain observed microbial toxicity. These observations are probably due to the presence of unidentified toxic PCP byproducts, which may include polychlorinated dibenzodioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans. When Microtox results were compared between different exposure time, i.e.,5 min and 15 min, an interesting pattern was noted with $UVA-\;TiO_2$ treatment. While no microbial toxicity was observed with 5 min exposure, an EC50 value of 45.4% was estimated with 15 min exposure, which was not observed in $UVB-\;TiO_2$ exposure. This result may suggest the presence of unidentified toxic degradation products generated in the later stage of treatment. Based on this study, $TiO_2$ photocatalyst, together with UVB photolysis could improve the removal of both PCP and its toxic derivatives in more efficient way. The Microtox Assay is promising and economical method for monitoring efficiency of wastewater treatment processes.
