프탈레이트는 화장품 원료로서 사용되지 않지만 네일락카, 헤어스프레이 제품류 등에는 혼입 또는 오염에 의해 제품 중에서 검출되어 시민단체 등에 의해 지속적인 안전성 문제가 제기되고 있기에 이들 제품에 대한 정확한 함량분석은 매우 중요하다. 그러나, 대부분의 프탈레이트 시험은 수질 또는 환경시료 등에서 다량의 유기용매로 추출/농축하여 가스크로마토그래피-질량분광분석기(GC-MS)를 사용하여 미량의 함량을 분석하는 방법으로 화장품 분석에 적용하기가 쉽지 않으며 화장품 분석에 적용되는 공인시험법도 아직까지 없는 실정이다. 또한 질량분석기의 가격, 시료전처리 및 기기유지관리에 소요되는 비용과 시간이 적지 않아 일반적인 품질관리에 적용하기엔 부담이 적지 않다. 특히 프탈레이트의 ppm 수준 이하 농도 분석시에는 기기 및 기구, 시약 등의 오염에 의해 분석결과 수치가 높게 나타나는 문제점으로 인해 정확한 분석기술과 분석경험이 매우 중요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 네일락카와 헤어스프레이 제품 분석에 적합하며 품질보증(quality-assurance ; Q.A)을 위한 시험에도 유용하도록 저비용의 범용적인 기기를 사용하면서 ppm 농도의 프탈레이트를 빠른 시간에 분석할 수 있는 방법을 설계하였다. 이 방법은 유기용매 사용량을 최소화하여 친환경적이며, 시료전처리 시간과 단계를 줄여 오염의 가능성을 최소화하며 저비용의 가스크로마토그래피-불꽃이온화검출기(GC-FID)를 사용하여 제품 내 $2{\sim}50{\mu}g/g(ppm)$ 농도의 프탈레이트를 검출하는 분석법으로 관련업체에서 매우 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

Methamphetamine (MA) is currently the most abused illicit drug in Korea. MA is produced by chemical synthesis, and the final target drug that is produced contains small amounts of the precursor chemicals, intermediates, and by-products. To identify and quantify these trace compounds in MA seizures, a practical and feasible approach for conducting chromatographic fingerprinting with a suite of traditional chemometric methods and recently introduced machine learning approaches was examined. This was achieved using gas chromatography (GC) coupled with a flame ionization detector (FID) and mass spectrometry (MS). Following appropriate examination of all the peaks in 71 samples, 166 impurities were selected as the characteristic components. Unsupervised (principal component analysis (PCA), hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA), and K-means clustering) and supervised (partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA), support vector machines (SVM), and deep neural network (DNN) with Keras) chemometric techniques were employed for classifying the 71 MA seizures. The results of the PCA, HCA, K-means clustering, PLS-DA, OPLS-DA, SVM, and DNN methods for quality evaluation were in good agreement. However, the tested MA seizures possessed distinct features, such as chirality, cutting agents, and boiling points. The study indicated that the established qualitative and semi-quantitative methods will be practical and useful analytical tools for characterizing trace compounds in illicit MA seizures. Moreover, they will provide a statistical basis for identifying the synthesis route, sources of supply, trafficking routes, and connections between seizures, which will support drug law enforcement agencies in their effort to eliminate organized MA crime.

A mass balance method established in this laboratory was applied to determine the purity of an endosulfan-II pure substance. Gas chromatography-flame ionization detector (GC-FID) was used to measure organic impurities. Total of 10 structurally related organic impurities were detected by GC-FID in the material. Water content was determined to be 0.187% by Karl-Fischer (K-F) coulometry with an oven-drying method. Non-volatile residual impurities was not detected by Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) within the detection limit of 0.04% (0.7 ${\mu}g$ in absolute amount). Residual solvents within the substance were determined to be 0.007% in the Endosulfan-II pure substance by running GC-FID after dissolving it with two solvents. The purity of the endosulfan-II was finally assigned to be ($99.17{\pm}0.14$)%. Details of the mass balance method including interpretation and evaluating uncertainties of results from each individual methods and the finally assayed purity were also described.

화장품에 사용되는 방부제로는 가격이 저렴하고 방부효과가 좋은 파라벤류, 페녹시에탄올 및 클로로페네신 등이 일반적으로 사용된다. 하지만, 최근들어 이들 방부제가 독성과 피부 자극을 유발할 수 있다는 소비자들의 인식으로 인하여 항균 작용이 있는 직쇄상 1,2-알칸디올로 대체되고 있는 추세이다. 하지만, 항균 작용의 직쇄상 1,2-알칸디올도 피부에 자극을 줄 수 있어 제한적으로 사용되어야 하므로 화장품 내 함량을 관리하는 것이 중요하다. 본 실험에서는 가스크로마토그래피 불꽃이온화검출기(GC/FID)를 이용하여 화장품에서 3종의 직쇄상 1,2-알칸디올류 중, 1,2-pentanediol, 1,2-hexanediol, 1,2-octanediol을 동시 분석하였다. 분석법 Validation 결과 특이성을 확인할 수 있었고, 3종의 직쇄상 1,2-pentanediol, 1,2-hexanediol, 1,2-octanediol의 검량선은 $100{\sim}1,200{\mu}g/g$의 농도 범위에서 상관계수가 0.999 이상의 양호한 직선성을 나타내었다. 검출한계(LOD)와 정량한계(LOQ)는 각각 31, 40, $19{\mu}g/g$와 98, 108, $57{\mu}g/g$로 나타났다. 화장품 내 함량에 대한 정밀성(반복성)은 2.0% 이하의 상대표준편차(% RSD)를 나타냈고, 정확성(회수율)은 99.3 ~ 103.3%, 99.4 ~ 106.7%, 97.5 ~ 107.3%로 각각 나타났다. 따라서 화장품 내에서 3종의 1,2-알칸디올류의 동시 분석이 가능함을 알 수 있었다. 본 시험법은 3종의 1,2-알칸디올류를 화장품에서 정확하게 정량하는데 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

Objectives : This study was undertaken to evaluate correlation between the levels of hippuric acid in blood plasma (HAP) and those of toluene concentration in the workplace air. Methods : Study subjects were composed of two groups; 21 workers who were occupationally exposed to toluene and 25 rural-area residents who were not exposed to any known occupational toluene source, as an exposed group and a reference group, respectively. Mean age and work duration of the exposed was 42 years and five years, respectively. Mean age of the reference was 42 years. To determine toluene concentrations in the workplace air, air sampling has been conducted for more than six hours using a personal sampler, and analyzed by a gas chromatography-flame ionization detector. Concentrations of hippuric acid in biological samples were determined by a high performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet detector. Results : Geometric mean(geometric standard deviation) of HAP and hippuric acid in urine(HAU) for the exposed was 1.39(2.21) mg/L and 2.77(1.46) g/L, respectively, which were significantly different from those of the reference [HAP, 9.45(2.94); HAU, 0.37(0.45)]. Teluene concentration in the workplace air was 86.92(range: $45.18\sim151.23$)ppm. The level of HAP or HAU was significantly correlated (r=0.70 and r=0.63, respectively) with that of toluene in the workplace air. The estimated regression equation was logHAP(mg/L)=-3.60+1.93 log(toluene, ppm) or logHAU(g/L)=-0.85+0.67 log(toluene, ppm). The magnitude of correlation was further enhanced when analyzing relationship between toluene concentrations lower than 100 ppm and its corresponding HAP levels. Conclusion : Overall, plasma hippuric acid levels were well correlated with toluene concentrations in the workplace air, and a statistically significant correlation was observed for the samples with toluene concentration lower than 100 ppm.

A pilot study was conducted in order to investigate the concentrations of indoor and outdoor VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) at ten homes and four building offices in Seoul during March-April, 1993. The five components of VOCs(Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene, o-Xylene, m/p-Xylene) were collected using charcoal tube and were analysed using Gas Chromatography(GC) with a Flame Ionization Detector(FID). The mean concentations of indoor VOCs were shown as Benzene of 38.9 .mu.g/m$^{3}$. Toluene of 165.0 .mu.g/m$^{3}$, Ethylbenzene of 21.7 .mu.g/m$^{3}$, o-Xylene of 11.6 .mu.g/m$^{3}$ and m/p-Xylene of 29.3 .mu.g/m$^{3}$, but those corresponding that indoor levels of VOCs were higher than corresponding outdoor levels. The ratio of indoor and outdoor VOCs were higher than corresponding outdoor levels. The ratio of indoor and outdoor VOCs concentrations was 0.99 for Benzene, 1.23 for Toluene, 5.86 for Ethylbenzene, 5.23 for o-Xylene, 2.41 for m/p-Xylene in homes, while 2.02 for Benzene, 1.15 for Toulene, 0.96 for Ethylbenzene, 1.41 for o-Xylene, 1.38 for m/p-Xylene in offices, respectively. The mean concentrations of VOCs in homes were higher than those levels in offices, while the mean concentration of VOCs during active hour of occupants in a day were higher 1-3 times than the levels during non-active hour. Comparing VOCs levels by building's age, the mean concentrations of Benzene, o-Xylene and m/p-Xylene were higher in new building than old building, but the mean concentrations of Toluene and Etylbenzene in new building were lower than old building. The mean concentrations in all components of VOCs in smoking area were higher than non-smoking area. These results suggested that the VOC levels were affected by various indoor characteristics and behavioral activity of occupants.
