Inorganic oxide colloids dispersed in alcohol were applied to a stainless steel substrate to produce oxide coatings for the purpose of minimizing emissive thermal transfer. The microstructure, roughness, infrared emissive energy, and surface heat loss of the coated substrate were observed with a variation of the nano oxide sol and coating method. It was found that the indium tin oxide, antimony tin oxide, magnesium oxide, silica, titania sol coatings may reduce surface heat loss of the stainless steel at 300${\circ}C$. It was possible to suppress thermal oxidation of the substrate with the oxide sol coatings during an accelerated thermal durability test at 600${\circ}C$. The silica sol coating was most effective to suppress thermal oxidation at 600${\circ}C$, so that it is useful to prevent the increase of radiative surface heat loss as a heating element. Therefore, the inorganic oxide sol coatings may be applied to improve energy efficiency of the substrate as the heating element.

Germanium is found in a range of minerals and ores and is present in foods including beans, tomato juice, oysters, tuna and garlic. Germanium is a non-metallic element, which can exist in valence states of 2 and 4. Clinical trials and use in private practices for more than a decade have demonstrated organic germanium's efficacy in treating serious disease including cancer, arthritis and senile osteoporosis. But it was rarely reported that inorganic germanium has biological properties. STB-BM contains mineral complex, rare earth elements and a little amount of Inorganic germanium. The experiment was carried out the anti-obesity effect. To investigate anti-obesity effect of STB-BM, we measured the effect of body weight, fat weight (subcutaneous fat, epididymal fat, visceral fat, kidney fat and total fat) and serum biochemical level in rats fed high fat diets. STB-BM 35 mg/kg suppressed the increasing ratio of body weight, epididymal fat weight, visceral fat weight, total fat weight, triglyceride and LDL-cholesterol (p<0.05).

Dry and wet deposition is an impertant removal mechanism of the amobient aerosol in the atmospheric environment. Since the deposition flut provides adverse impacts on various encironmental media including aquatic and ecological system as well as human health, it is essential to quantitatively estimate the removal fluxes of many air pollutants. Thus, the purposes of this experimental study are to investigate seasonal deposition flux variations of the total dustfall and various inorganic elements in the local ambient air and then to finally estimate their dry deposition velocities. To perform the study, the total of 90 dustfall samples were collected from January, 1994 thru February, 1995 in 5 different cities of Korea including Seoul, Suwon, Daejon, Kwangju, and Kangrung. Each sample was analyzed by an AAS and an ICP to determine the quantities of the 11 inorganic elements, such as Zn, Cd, Cr, K, Na, Pb, Ca, Fe, Mn, Mi, and Cu. As results, deposition fluxes, soluble/insoluble fractions, and deposition velocities for each element were extensively investigated. The resulting dry deposition velocities of some elements in Suwon were estimated by ranges of 0.57 .sim. 0.87 cm/sec for Zn, 0.35 .sim. 0.45 cm/sec for Pb, 1.25 .sim. 3.52 cm/sec for Ca, 0.21 .sim. 0.48 cm/sec for Fe, 0.95 .sim. 9.31 cm/sec for Mn, and 2.08 cm/sec for Cu.

Physicochemical properties of soil, mineral cyclings, production of plants, and relationship between sodium(Na) content and progresses of plant communities were studied in a coastal salt marsh in Incheon. Contents of Na, available phosphorus(A-P) and value of electric conductivity of soil decreased in order of Salicornia herbacea, Limonium tetragonum, Phragmites communis and Zoysia sinica communities, but contents of organic matter, total nitrogen(T-N) and calcium(Ca) of soil were vice versa. Specise diversity index decreased with increase of Na content of soil with correlation coefficient of -0.82. The aboveground biomass of plant communities were 2,981 g.dw/$m^2$ in P. communis, 1,471 g.dw/$m^2$ in Z. sinica, 189g.dw/$m^2$ in S. herbacea and 71 g.dw/$m^2$ L. tetragonum, respectively. Seasonal changes of contents of inorganic nutrients per unit land area coincided with those of biomass of plant communities, however, the maximum contents of K occured earlier than the maximum biomass. Amounts of inorganic nutrients absorbed by plant were directly proportion to its biomass and it was true to reverse in restored amounts of them to soil. In turnover times of nutrients of the communities, it took the shortest time for P but the longest for Ca and P. communis community took the shortest but L. tetragonum the longest. For example, in P. communis turover time of P took one year and that of Na 1,440 years. Lack of P element, therefore, was expected in this study area.

Arsenic is a ubiquitous element found in several forms in environment. Although certain foods, such as marine fish, contain substantial levels of organic arsenic forms, they are relatively low in toxicity compared to inorganic forms. In contrast, arsenic in drinking water is predominantly inorganic and very toxic. Chronic ingestion of arsenic-contaminated drinking water is therefore the major pathway posing potential risk to human health. World populations are exposed to low to moderate levels of arsenic of parts per billion (ppb) to thousands of ppb. When exposed to human, it could metabolize into monomethylarsonous acid ($MMA^{III}$) and dimethylarsinous acid ($DMA^{III}$) which are highly toxic. Lots of stuides have been recently focused how $MMA^{III}\;and\;DMA^{III}$ induce toxic insults in various target tissues. Epidemiological studies revealed that chronic arsenic exposure caused cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and diabetes etc. In this review, the current understanding of arsenic on health effects will be discussed.

확률론적 해석방법은 환경독성물질에 의한 인체위해도 평가시 사용된 각 입력인자들의 불확실성까지 고려하는 방법론이다. 기존의 위해도 평가방법은 불확실성을 고려하지 않고 단순히 결과치의 포인트 값만을 제공하는데 비해 이러한 확률론적 해석방법은 입력인자들의 불확실성이 고려되고 결과치에 대한 이들의 중요도가 산출될 수 있는 등 더 많은 정보를 제공하므로써 환경위해도를 기반으로 한 환경정책 결정시 용이하게 사용될 수 있다. 본 논문은 현재 미국에서 음용수 기준설정시 논란이 많은 무기비소에 대해 확률론적 평가방법론을 적용하였다. 우선 인체위해도평가에 필요한 무기비소의 각종 자료들을 수집, 정리하고 이를 바탕으로 각 인자들의 불확실성을 계산하였다. 최종적으로 이들로부터 무기비소가 포함된 음용수를 마신 일반인의 피부암 위해도를 확률적으로 계산하였다. 또한 계산된 결과치와 여러 위해도기준치를 비교하여 정책결정에 필요한 의사결정에 대해서도 살펴보았다. 계산결과에 의하면 다수의 일반인들이 무기비소를 함유한 음용수섭취를 통해 현재 위해도설정치(10$^{-6}$)보다 높은 ] 피부암 위해를 입고 있는 것으로 나타나 이에 대한 규제가 필요하다고 본다.

제주도 산지림 및 방풍림 삼나무 목재의 조직 특성, 생재함수율, 무기 함유물 농도 및 흑심재 발생률 조사를 통해 얻어진 결과는 다음과 같았다. 1. 흑심재의 발생률은 산지림의 나무에 비해 방풍림의 것에서 훨씬 더 높게 나타났다. 2. 생재함수율은 심재의 재색이 적갈색에서 흑색으로 변함에 따라 높아지는 것으로 드러났다. 3. 흑심재의 방사조직 내에 존재하는 무기 함유물인 $K_2O$와 CaO는 흑심재의 주요 형성 원인 가운데 하나인 것으로 여겨졌다. 4. 목재의 비중 및 기계적 성질은 제주도의 삼나무가 한반도 남부 지역의 삼나무에 비해 비교적 낮게 나타났지만 제주도 내의 방풍림과 산지림 나무 사이에서는 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다.

Nitrogen (N) is a vital element in growing crops and is essential for improving the yield and quality of crops. Thus, N fertilizer is the most widely used fertilizer and the primary N input source in soil-crop systems. Inorganic fertilizers such as urea are known to improve crop productivity and increase soil fertility. However, application with excessive amounts can interfere with crop growth and accelerate soil acidification. For these reasons, the use of organic fertilizers, which mainly contain organic nitrogen, has gradually increased worldwide. Therefore, this study evaluated the effects of N fertilizer on the growth of Chinese cabbage including its functional compounds glucosinolates (GSLs). For the cultivation of Chinse cabbage, inorganic fertilizer was used for urea, and organic fertilizers were divided into conventional and biochar-based fertilizers. The growth parameters of Chinese cabbage treated by organic fertilizers was better than those of the inorganic fertilizers. Additionally, it was found that their co-application was more efficient. However, their GSL contents were lower with the application of the organic fertilizers. The characteristics of the experimental soil also changed according to the type, amounts and co-application of fertilizers. Therefore, this study presents the basis for an eco-friendly method that can increase the functionality and productivity of Chinese cabbage compared to conventional cultivations.

본 연구는 배 신고 품종의 영양 진단을 위해 과총 잎과 신초 잎을 구별한 무기성분 변화와 기상요인이 잎의 무기성분 함량에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다 과총 잎의 N, P, K, Mg 함량은 후기로 갈수록 감소되었으나, Ca, Mn 함량은 증가되었다. N, P, K, Fe 함량은 과총 잎과 신초 잎의 함량 차이가 거의 없었다. 과총 잎의 Ca, Mn, Cu, Zn성분은 신초 잎보다 높았으나, B 성분은 신초 잎보다 낮았다. 신초 잎의 N 성분은 평균 기온과는 정의 상관이, 최고 기온과는 부의 상관이 인정되었다. 과총 잎의 P 성분과 최고 기온과는 부의 상관이 인정되었다. 과총 잎의 Ca 성분은 평균 기온과는 부의 상관이, 최고, 최저 기온과는 정의 상관을 보였다. 신초, 과총 잎의 Mg, B 성분과 평균 기온과는 정의 상관이, 최고, 최저 기온과는 부의 상관이 인정되었다. 일반적인 잎 채취 시기인 7월 중순${\~}$8월 상순 사이의 과총 잎 내 Ca, Mn 함량은 신초 잎보다 확연히 높았기 때문에 정확한 영양진단을 위해서는 신초 잎과 과총 잎을 구별하여 채취하는 것이 좋을 것으로 판단된다.
