Lead chromate is made by sodium dichromate and lead acetate, and has being used widely in the part of pigment, paints, inks, plastics and so on. Even though lead chromate has health hazards which like both lead and chromium, there are a few study about pigment workplaces using lead chromate in Korea. The purpose of this study is to evaluate workers' exposure levels and airborne lead and chromium concentration in the pigment workplaces using lead chromate. There are 20 workers in the total 5 workplaces. 10 workers(50%) have been exposed to lead and 3 workers(15%) have been exposed to chromium, which exceeded the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists(ACGIH) Threshold Limit Value (Pb: $0.05\;mg/m^3$, Cr: $0.012\;mg/m^3$) and Korean Ministry of Labor's Standard. Geometric mean (GM) of airborne lead was highest in pigment ($0.0421\;mg/m^3$), paint ($0.0020\;mg/m^3$) and PVC coloring ($0.0007\;mg/m^3$), respectively(p<0.05). The result of airborne chromium concentration was paint ($0.0033\;mg/m^3$), paint ($0.0004\;mg/m^3$) and PVC coloring ($0.0003\;mg/m^3$). Also the lead and chromium concentration in the manual process is each 30 times and 10 times higher than the value in automatic process(p<0.01). In the classified process by detail, the concentration of airborne lead was $0.0638\;mg/m^3$ in grinding & packaging, mixture & after-measuring ($0.0436\;mg/m^3$), filtration & drying ($0.0402\;mg/m^3$), lead nitrate & dissolution($0.0129\;mg/m^3$), pigment commitment & mixture ($0.0013\;mg/m^3$) and dispersion & grinding ($0.0010\;mg/m^3$) (p<0.05). Moreover the concentration of a sample in weighting & packaging was $0.0023\;mg/m^3$. The concentration of lead in workers' blood was pigment (15.12 ug/dl), paint (4.74 ug/dl) and PVC coloring (2.50 ug/dl), and some samples have exceeded biological exposure limit. In conclusion, the depending on their work industry and process, workers have been exposed to the high lead chromate.

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was used to evaluate the anticorrosive properties of resin(alkyd, epoxy, urethane) and pigment(hydroxy apatite(HAp), zinc potassium chromate(ZPC). red lead(RL)). The corrosion behavior of coatings applied on steel has been investigated during exposure to 0.5M-NaCl The anticorrosive performances of resins were found to depend on their chemical nature and decreased in the order of urethane > epoxy > alkyd resin coating. Hydroxy apatite and zinc potassium chromate pigment which have property to passivate the substrate showed relatively high anticorrosive performance.

크롬산납안료입자의 합성과정에서 반응조건의 변화에 따른 입자의 성장특성, 첨가제 첨가에 의한 영향, 그리고 마이크로캡슐화에 관하여 조사하였다. 크롬산납 무기안료의 합성과정에서 생성용액의 pH가 낮을수록, 반응물질의 초기농도가 묽을수록 입자크기가 작은 균일한 분산입자를 얻을 수 있었다. 교반속도가 큰 경우에서 평균입자크기의 감소 및 증가에 대한 변화폭이 크게 나타남을 알 수 있었다. 합성된 크롬산납 안료입자의 숙성과정에 황산알루미늄을 첨가하여 표면처리 함으로써 입자크기의 제어가 가능하였고, 입자의 입도분포 상태를 최적 분산 상태로 유지하는 효과가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 안료입자의 마이크로캡슐화가 진행되는 용액의 pH 범위를 9~10, 반응온도를 $90^{\circ}C$ 이상으로 유지하고 마이크로캡슐화 후 충분한 건조를 통해 입자의 수분함량을 0.5% 이하로 유지할 때 최적의 마이크로캡슐화가 됨을 알 수 있었다.

The content of hazardous heavy metal of materials used in playground facility for children was investigated using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP) analyses, In order to examine the content of hazardous heavy metals according to the material color, four colors, i.e., green, red, yellow and blue, were categorized on the materials used. The highest lead content is observed in the yellow plastic samples. The yellow samples with relatively high lead content show that the chrome content is also high. This can explained that lead chromate, so-called chromium yellow, is normally used as a main pigment to express the yellow color. Therefore, it is concluded that hazardous heavy metal detected in the materials of playground facility for children is due to the pigments used for coloring. Based on above findings, the relationship between the color of materials used in playground facility for children and the content of hazardous heavy metal is discussed.

Hydroxyapatite(HAp) was synthesized using the waste sludge from semiconductor process and used as an anticorrosive pigment. The water absorption of coating pigmented with anticorrosive pigment and the corrosion at interface between coating and substrate were monitored using AC impedance techniques. The anticorrosive performance of HAp was compared with those of red lead(RL) and zinc potassium chromate(ZPC), which have been known as representative anticorrosive pigments. The amount of absorbed water in ZPC- and HAp- pigmented coatings was much higher compared to that in RL-pigmented and unpigmented film. However, it seems that the water absorbed into HAp- or ZPC-pigmented film is beneficial to anticorrosive function. The anticorrosive performance of HAp is superior or at least comparable to those of ZPC and RL. The excellent anticorrosive properties of HAp can be explained by its passivating ability, caused by the reaction of the soluble component of HAp with Fe to form iron phosphate in the presence of water.

Objective: Paint manufacturing industry workers are exposed to various lung cancer carcinogenic substances including hexavalent chromium and crystalline silica. Studies have been conducted on lung cancer in Paint manufacturing industry workers and the concentration of hexavalent chromium in paint industry; however, the concentration of crystalline silica and hexavalent chromium and cases of lung cancer in a single Paint factory has never been reported in Korea. Methods: To determine whether the cancer was related to his work environment, we assessed the level of exposure to carcinogens during pouring and mixing talc and pigment. In addition, a mask fit test was performed for the worker. Results: Analysis of talc and silica bulk powder materials showed that crystalline silica (quartz) was 5% in talc and 100% in silica. The green and yellow pigments contained 87% and 92% of lead chromate, respectively. Our quantitative analysis of pigment powder samples showed that the hexavalent chromium contents quantified in the green and yellow pigment samples were 87% and 92%, respectively. In order to estimate his exposure level of hexavalent chromium, we measured a personal exposure level of hexavalent chromium for a worker in accordance with the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health #7605 method. The results showed that the worker was exposed to the high level of hexavalent chromium (0.033 mg m-3). In addition, the talc powder also contained 5% quartz, and the worker's exposure level to respirable quartz exceeded OEL. As a result of the respiratory protection fit test for workers, the overall Fit Factor was '15' when wearing a second-grade mask and '25' when wearing a first-grade mask, significantly lower than the US Occupational Safety and Health Agency (OSHA) pass value of "100". Conclusion: Workers who pouring and mixing powder materials such as talc or colored pigments in paint manufacturing company may be exposed to high concentrations of carcinogenic substances. These findings indicate that it is necessary to local ventilation system inspection, safety and health education for employers and workers, and periodically monitoring and manage the working environment.

크롬염 안료제조공장 근로자를 대상으로 크롬 폭로와 말초혈액 림프구의 8-OH-dG 농도의 상관성을 직접 관찰함으로써 크롬의 암 발생기전에 산소유리기(oxygen free radical)가 관여하는지 여부와 크롬폭로에 따라 자매염색분체교환 빈도가 증가하는지를 밝힐 목적으로 본 연구를 수행하였다. 안료공장에 1년 이상 근무한 근로자 38명을 대상으로 설문지를 통하여 근무기간, 연령, 성, 크롬 폭로와 관련된 자각적 증상 등을 조사하였으며, 이들의 크롬 폭로 수준을 평가할 수 있는 생물학적 지표로서 혈중 및 크레아티닌 보정 요중 크롬 농도를 측정하였다. 크롬에 의한 생물학적 영향지표로서 말초혈액 림프구로 부터 dG에 대한 8-OH-dG의 몰 농도비를 측정하였으며, 분열 중기의 세포 30개를 관찰하여 세포당 자매염색분체교환 빈도를 계수하여 염색체 46개당 평균 자매 염색분체교환 빈도로 환산하였다. 분석결과 현재 크롬 폭로 수준을 판단하는 생물학적지표로 가장 많이 사용되는 크레아티닌 보정 요중 크롬 농도와 림프구에서의 dG에 대한 8-OH-dG의 물 농도비는 유의한 상관관계(r=0.47, p<0.01)를 보이는 것으로 분석되었으며, 현재의 흡연수준을 보정하고 분석한 결과에서는 상관계수가 증가하는 결과(r=0.62, p<0.05)를 나타내었다. 한편 자매염색분체교환 빈도와 크롬 폭로수준간에는 유의한 상관관계가 관찰되지 않았다. 이러한 결과는 크롬의 발암성에 DNA 부가체(adduct)의 형성이 중요한 기전일 수 있다는 기존의 연구결과와 일치하며, 따라서 8-OH-dG는 크롬에 의한 발암성을 예측할 수 있는 생물학적 영향지표로서 활용될 수 있음을 시사한다고 할 수 있다.

야외에 위치한 대형 군사문화유산의 장기적 보존을 위해 선행연구를 참고하여 과거에 이루어진 도료를 통한 도장 기술의 역사를 살펴보았으며, 전쟁기념관 소장 H-13 헬기의 분석 결과와 비교하였다. 선행연구에서 제2차 세계대전에 참여하여 지상에서 발굴된 난파기 3점에서 샘플을 수집해 분석한 결과, 항공기의 각 샘플에서 크롬의 다양한 화학적인 상태의 특성이 보호 코팅에 대한 역할 수행을 확인할 수 있었다. 약 80년이 지나 도료층의 변질과 자연환경에 장기간 노출되었는데도, 이 화합물은 1940년도 초에 부식 억제 안료로서 테스트 되었으며, 수분에 저항력을 갖는 훌륭한 억제력을 제공했다. 이런 이유로 항공 산업에서 알루미늄 합금의 부식 억제제로 널리 사용되었다. 즉 부식을 방지하기 위해 가장 널리 사용되는 재료는 크롬산염을 함유한 유기 프라이머였다. 본 연구에서 6·25전쟁에 운용되었던 H-13 헬기의 도료분석을 토대로 두 번째 층인 프라이머가 산화크롬(Cr₂O₃)을 포함하고 있음을 보여준다. 또한 적색의 사산화삼납(Pb₃O₄)을 전색제에 녹여 사용한 것으로 추정된다. 이를 선행연구와 비교한 결과 크롬산염이 제공하는 부식 방지 기능이 여전히 유효한지 여부를 명확히하는 데 도움이 될 수 있다. 적외선 분광분석 결과는 알키드 수지(Alkyd Resin)의 도료가 사용되었다. 향후 보다 다양한 유물과의 비교를 통해 합금을 부식으로부터 보호하기 위한 도료의 제작 기술 변화를 해석할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
