  • This study was conducted to provide fundamental data on the awareness of radiation, specifically the differences between general awareness, psychological state and harmful effects. Data was collected from 334 University students in the Chungbuk region through a self-administered questionnaire. According to the results of the reliability and factor analysis, the awareness of radiation was 2.80, with a Cronbach alpha coefficient of 0.815 and KMO of 0.798. Factor analysis extracted three components of the awareness of radiation, which we named general awareness (factor 1), psychological state (factor 2), and harmful effect (factor 3). There were significant differences in the general awareness of natural radiation and radiation-containing foods (p<0.05), whereas no significant differences were found in the general awareness of radiation food supply (p>0.05). Also, the psychological state showed a significant difference in exposure inspection, future exposure, and radiation-containing food (p<0.05), whereas no significant differences were found in the refusal of radiation inspection (p>0.05). The harmful effects showed a significant difference in the rejection of radiation (p<0.05), but no significant differences in the cancer and genetic effects, diseases and physical harmfulness (p>0.05). A significant positive result (p<0.05) was found for the psychological state according to the harmful effects of radiation. Based on this study, detailed and continuous education must be accomplished by increasing the awareness of radiation and the acceptance level, conveying a proper understanding of radiation and assisting subjects with receiving the information they desire through various educational mediums.

  • Since the process gas that is essential in the semiconductor process is a harmful gas, it is an essential task to solve it in an environmentally friendly manner. Currently, the cleaning technology used in the semiconductor process is mostly a wet cleaning based on hydrogen peroxide developed in the 1970s, and the SC-1 cleaning liquid for removing particles on the surface uses a mixture of ammonia and hydrogen peroxide. Therefore, environmental problems are caused, and economic problems caused by excessive water use are also serious. For this reason, the products developed through this study are used to decompose the process harmful gas from the chamber outlet into a harmless gas before entering the vacuum pump, or by incineration and the gaseous components are deposited on the pump. I want to solve the problem. In this paper, CPS (Confined Plasma Source) is proposed to save environment and improve productivity by replacing harmful gases (N2, CF4, SF6⋯., Etc) which are indispensable in semi-contamination process with innocuous gases or incineration with plasma, to study.

  • To prevent the overflow of various harmful chemicals, it is necessary to modify the chemical management system with an expansion to institutionally regulated substances. This modification should be preceded by selection of the priority chemicals, with a diverse chemical ranking system (CRS) applied to select the chemicals in developed countries. In Korea, a systematic CRS was used in a project related to soil and groundwater, however, it is inadequate to compare soil and groundwater CRS to that of surfacewater. In this study, a priority chemical ranking system for surfacewater was proposed through the analysis of international and domestic CRS cases. This was then applied to 161 chemicals to derive the priority list of harmful chemicals. As a result, Chemical RAnking of surFacewater polluTants (CRAFT) is presented for the protection of human health and the aquatic ecosystem from surfacewater pollutants. The components of CRAFT are the human health toxicity, aquatic ecosystem toxicity and reliability assessment factors. Three lists were derived from the 161 priority harmful chemicals for the protection of human health, aquatic ecosystem or both. It is expected that this result can be useful to prioritize harmful chemicals for the protection of human health and the aquatic ecosystem from Korean surfacewater.

  • The world gross market of many kinds of electronics, such as TV and mobile phone has been increasing rapidly these days. It is mainly caused by the amazing developments of IT technology during past decade and the changes of individual life style for the better. Thanks to the increases of electronics manufactured in quantity, much more electronic components such as MLCC (multi layer ceramic capacitor) and PCB (printed circuit board), which are our main products, have been needed as a consequence. Though it was reported that total market of electronic components exceeds several hundreds of billion dollars, there are many manufactures struggling for survival in the competition of electronics components. Then the recognition of quality as a key technology has spread and the efforts for high-yield production lines have been kept in many companies. In this paper, our efforts to eliminate the contamination of particles and the diffusion of some volatile organic compounds which is very harmful to workers at production line have been introduced.

  • This study compares and analyzes inorganic components of four different Pu-erh tea species consumed in Korea. The criteria for the inorganic components was based on the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) recommendations. Out of the 19 general items: potassium, manganese, silicon and fluorine were detected in amounts exceeding the maximum allowable concentration by 5~23, 57~91, 1.6~1.8 and 9~18 times respectively. Out of the 15 potentially harmful elements: aluminum and nickel were exceeded the Maximum allowable concentration by 9~14 times and 0.8~1.2 times respectively. To reduce the concentration of inorganic elements in excess of the maximum allowable concentration, the extraction time of tea should be less than 1 minute in addition to limiting the amount. The amount of Pu-erh tea for extraction was about 0.1 g manganese, about 0.3 g potassium, about 0.5 g fluoride and about 2 g silicon. Therefore, the maximum amount of tea for extraction should be 0.1 g in regards to the safety of Pu-erh tea. Based on the recommended maximum daily intake of inorganic ingredients by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, it is desirable that the number of extractions be less than three.
