  • 포항 분지 제3기 장기층군에서 산출된 화석목재의 고식물학적 연구가 수행되었다. 하부 함탄층의 화석목재는 Ulmus sp., Prunus sp., and Acer sp.의 3속 3종으로, 상부 함탄층의 화석목재는 Taxodioxylon sp.와 Fagus hondoensis (Watari) Watari의 2속 2종으로 각각 동정되었다. 연구에 사용한 표본은 조직의 보존성이 좋지 않아서 종의 동정까지는 어렵지만, 이들은 모두 한국 마이오세 화석목재의 특징적인 구성 요소들이다. 하부 및 상부 함탄층에서 채집한 화석목재의 나이테를 분석하여 얻어진 평균민감도 값은 0.367과 0.370로 비슷하지만, 이들은 0.30보다는 약간 높다. 현재의 두 그룹의 자료만으로 판단하면, 뿌리에 대한 물의 공급은 계절적인 강수량의 변화에 의해 매년 어느 정도 제한을 받았거나 물 공급에 있어 다양한 변화가 있었던 것으로 추정된다.

  • 한반도에서 산출되는 화석목재의 개요와 고식물학적 의미를 파악하기 위하여 문헌 조사를 통하여 이들을 종합하였다. 한반도에서 보고된 화석목재는 중생대에서 신생대로 갈수록 종수와 다양성이 증가하며 특히 신생대에 급증했다. 전기 중생대에서는 구과류 4속 6분류군이 기재되었는데 이것은 대동식물군의 약 6%에 해당한다. 후기 중생대의 화석목재는 모두 구과류이며 총 7속 15분류군이 기재되었는데, 이것은 낙동식물군의 약 29%에 해당한다. 신제3기의 화석목재는 16과 21속에 속하는 35분류군이 기재되었는데 대부분이 쌍자엽식물이고 다른 시대에 비하여 다양성이 가장 크다. 이것은 장기식물군의 약 83%에 해당한다. 신제3기에 화석목재가 급증한 이유는 식물군의 구성이 쌍자엽식물이 많고, 화석층에 목재 화석화에 적합한 화산쇄설암이 풍부했기 때문인 것으로 생각된다.

  • Ilsan peat-bed site, newly constructed city area, is located at the northern part of Seoul. This site is situated near the mouth of Han river, which flows through central Korea. Many fossil woods were excavated from this site, and surveyed the wood anatomical features. Totally 90 specimens were identified into 10 species including two roots and five barks which were not identified in detail. Alnus japonica and A. maxmowiczii are the most common and occupied 26. 7%, 34.4% of the total specimen number respectively, and then other species which excavated from Ilsan area are follows : Fraxinus rhynchophylla(18.9%), Lepido-balanus spp.(3.3%), Maackia amurensis(2.2%), Diospyros spp.(2.2%), Juglans mandshrica(1.1%), Prunophora spp.(1.1%), Malus or Pyrus spp.(1.1%), Rhamnus spp.(1.1%). Among the identified species there are fairly some species growing in the central - or northern temperate zone, such as A. maxmowiczii, F. rhynchophylla, Lepidobalanus spp., M. amurnsis, J. mandshurica, Rhumnus spp. Therefore, it can be estimated that the former temperature of Ilsan area was same or slightly cold than today. The species bearing fruit for food as .J, mandshunca, Diospyros spp., Prunophora spp., Mulus or Pyrus spp. were regarded as artificially planting trees, because they do not grow together in the same site.

  • Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) are frequently detected in food, water, soil, and sediment and are widespread environmental pollutants formed by the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels, woods and other organic matter. PAHs are considered to be probable human carcinogens. The mechanism of action of PAHs has been studied extensively, however it is not clear how PAHs turn on CYP1A1 in human breast cancer. Our laboratory have been studied the effect of PAHs in the human breast cancer cell MCF7. In this study, we examined the ZR-75-1 human breast cancer cells as a new system to evaluate bioactivity of PAHs. ZR-75-1 human breast cancer cell line responses to estrogen and progesteron. We have been able to estbilish long term culture system of this cells then used for the study to observe the effect of PAHs. We demonstrate that PAHs induced the CYP1A1 promoter and 7-ethoxyresolufin O-deethylase (EROD) activity in a concentration-dependant manner. RT-PCR analysis indicated that PAHs significantly up-regulate the level of CYP1A1 mRNA. Some of PAHs showed stronger stimulatory effect on CYP1 gene expression than TCDD. Apparently, ZR-75-1 cells have Aryl hydrocarbon receptors, therefore it would be good experimental tool to study the cross-talk between PAHs and steroid actions.

  • Activated carbon is carbon produced from carbonaceous source materials, such as coconut shells, coals, and woods. In this study, an activated carbon production system was analyzed by carbonization and activation in terms of environmental impact and human health. The feedstock of wood wastes for the system reduced fossil fuel consumption and disposal costs. Life cycle assessment methodology was used to analyze the environmental impacts of the system, and the functional unit was one tonne of wood wastes. The boundary expansion method was applied to analyze the wood waste recycling process for activated carbon production. An environmental credit was quantified by avoided impact analysis. Specifically, greenhouse gases discharged from 1 kg of activated carbon production system by feeding wood wastes were evaluated. We found that this system reduced global warming potential of approximately $9.69E+00kg\;CO_2-eq$. compared to the process using coals. The environmental benefits for activated carbon production from wood wastes were analyzed in contrast to other disposal methods. The results showed that the activated carbon system using one tonne of wood wastes has an environmental benefit of $163kg\;CO_2-eq$. for reducing global warming potential in comparison with the same amount of wood wastes disposal by landfilling.
