The purpose of this study was to investigate the acute(4 hrs) and repeated-dose(6 hrs a day, 5 days a week, 8 weeks) toxic effects of 1-bromopropane(1-BP) on Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats which were treated by inhalation. The results were as follows ; 1. The median lethal concentration($LC_{50}$) was estimated 14,374 ppm(confidence limit 95% ; 13,624~15,596 ppm) in acute inhalation. Abnormal clinical signs related to the 1-BP were not observed with the acute inhalation dose. Gross findings of necropsy revealed no evidence of specific toxicity related to the 1-BP. 2. By sub-acute inhalation the body weights of male and female were significantly reduced(p<0.001) by the dose of 1,800 ppm compared with control group, while the relative weights of liver were significantly increased(p<0.001) in both sexes. However there were no significant variation in food consumption, urine biochemistry, hematology and blood biochemistry for the exposed rats compared with the control rats. Abnormal clinical signs and gross findings of necropsy related to the 1-BP were not shown. No toxicologic lesions were observed by the histopathological test.

Juvenile banded catfish(Pseudobagurus fulvidraco, mean length $10.7{\pm}0.42cm$ and mean weight $15.0{\pm}0.23g$) were exposed to varies TAN(total ammonia) concentrations at pH levels of $6.12{\pm}0.51$, $7.00{\pm}0.26$ and $8.04{\pm}0.07$ for 96hrs to check the level of acute toxicity on biofloc technology aquaculture system(BFT). The result showed that cumulative mortalities for juvenile banded catfish at TAN levels 48.95, 55.96, 66.47, and 78.88 mg/L at pH $6.12{\pm}0.51$ were 0, 30, 30, and 50%, respectively. At pH $7.00{\pm}0.26$, its mortalities to TAN 5.20, 11.68, 15.31, and 18.31 mg/L were 0, 10, 20, and 70%, respectively and at pH $8.04{\pm}0.07$, the mortalities to TAN 0.96, 1.49, 2.13, and 3.62 mg/L were 10, 20, 40, and 100%, respectively. Its $96h-LC_{50}$ (median lethal concentration, $LC_{50}$) at pH $6.12{\pm}0.51$, $7.00{\pm}0.26$, and $8.04{\pm}0.07$ were 78.12, 15.87, and 2.21 mg/L for TAN, and 0.05, 0.10, and 0.14 mg/L for $NH_3$, respectively, and the acute toxicity for ammonia to juvenile banded catfish increased exponentially with increase of pH.

Olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) (Weight 110.9±17.1 g, length 22.3±1.2 cm) were exposed to waterborne nitrite at 0, 30, 60, 120, 240, 480 and 960 mg NO₂^-/L according to water temperature at 20℃ and 25℃ for 96 hours. The lethal concentration 50 (LC₅₀) of olive flounder, P. olivaceus exposed to waterborne nitrite was 513.87 mg NO₂^-/L at 20℃ and 208.35 mg NO₂^-/L at 25℃, which means a significant difference in LC₅₀ by the water temperature. Hemoglobin and hematocrit were significantly decreased by waterborne nitrite exposure. The inorganic component, plasma calcium, was significantly decreased, and the organic components such as plasma glucose and cholesterol were significantly decreased showing a similar tendency with calcium. In enzymatic components, the AST and ALP were also significantly decreased by nitrite exposure. The results of this study indicate that exposure to nitrite can affect the survival and hematological physiology of P. olivaceus, and the effect of exposure to nitrite had a significant effect on nitrite toxicity depending on the water temperature.

본 연구는 넙치 치어 (평균 체장 $19.8{\pm}2.6cm$, 평균 체중 $19.8{\pm}2.6cm$)를 바이오플락에 각 농도별 0, 62.5, 125, 250, 500, 1,000, $1,500mg\;L^{-1}$의 질산염과 일반 해수에 각 농도별 0, 62.5, 125, 250, 500, $1000mg\;L^{-1}$의 질산염을 96시간 노출시킨 후 생존율 및 혈액학적 변화를 비교하였다. 본 연구에서 넙치 치어의 반수치사농도 ($96h\;LC_{50}$, 96시간 노출 후 총 개체수의 50%가 폐사하는 농도)는 바이오플락 내의 질산염 노출 실험구에서는 $1,226mg\;NO_3L^{-1}$, 해수에서는 $597mg\;NO_3L^{-1}$ (P<0.05)였으며, 이는 넙치 유생이 높은 질산염에 노출되었을 경우, 같은 농도에서도 바이오플락 사육수 보다 일반 해수에서 생물에 독성의 영향이 크게 나타난다고 볼 수 있다. 혈액학적 분석 결과에서는 일반 해수에서 넙치의 hematocrit는 $250mg\;L^{-1}$ 이상의 농도에서 대조구에 비해 통계적으로 유의한 증가를 나타낸 반면, 바이오플락에서 넙치의 hematocrit는 $1,000mg\;L^{-1}$의 질산염 노출에서만 대조구 대비 통계적으로 유의한 증가를 나타냈다 (P<0.05). 그러나, hemoglobin은 일반 해수와 바이오플락 모두 질산염 농도 의존적 변화가 나타나지 않았다. 질산염 노출에 따른 혈장 효소 성분 분석 결과에서는 혈장 AST와 ALT의 경우, 바이오플락과 일반 해수 모두 각 농도별 질산염 노출에 따라 유의하게 증가하였으나, ALP의 경우 두 실험구에서 모두 질산염 농도 증가에 따른 유의한 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 바이오플락 환경에서 사육된 넙치가 일반해수에 사육된 넙치에 비해 단기간 질산염 노출에 대한 한계농도 및 혈액학적 성상에서 더 높은 질산염 내성을 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 일반 해수보다 바이오플락 내의 질산염 노출이 상대적으로 생물에게 낮은 독성을 가지며, 이와 같은 효과는 양식에 있어 바이오플락을 이용함으로써 잠재적인 질산염 독성 영향을 경감시켜줄 수 있을 것이다.

In order to elucidate the mechanism of cytotoxic effect of oxygen radicals on cultured mouse spinal motor neurons, the neurotoxicity induced by hydrogen peroxide(H₂O₂) was evaluated by MTT assay. The neuroprotective effect of Rhizoma Gastrodiae(RG) against H₂O₂-mediated neurotoxicity was also examined in these cultures by SRB assay. The results were as follows : The value of lethal concentration 50(LC50) of H₂O₂ was estimated at a concentration of 30 uM in these cultures. Cell viability of cultured mouse spinal motor neurons was remarkably decreased by H₂O₂-induced neurotoxicity in a dose- and time-dependent manner. RG was remarkably effective in blocking the neurotoxicity induced by H₂O₂ at a concentration of 120 μM as determined by SRB assay. From above the results, it is suggested that H₂O₂ induce neurotoxicity, and the selective herbal extracted RG was very effective in blocking H₂O₂-mediated neurotoxicity on cultured mouse spinal motor neurons.

Benthic amphipod, Grandidierella japonica widely inhabits the Korean coastal waters and is developed as a standard test species for sediment toxicity tests. We exposed G. japonica to various pollutants including 4 kinds of inorganic metals (Ag, Cd, Cu and Hg), tributyltin [TBT], ammonia and 7 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) compounds (acenaphthene, chrysene, fluoranthene, fluorene, naphthalene, phenanthrene and pyrene) to estimate the no observed effect concentration (NOEC) and the median lethal concentration (LC50) of each pollutant during the 96-hour acute exposure. Among all tested pollutants, TBT was most toxic to G. japonica, and Rg was most toxic among inorganic metals. The toxicity of pyrene to G. japonica was greatest among PAH compounds, followed by fluoranthene, phenanathrene, acenaphthene, fluorene and naphthalene. The toxicity of PAH compounds was closely related to their physico-chemical characteristics such as $K_ow$ and water solubility. G. japonica responded adequately to pollutant concentrations and exposure durations, and the sensitivity of G. japonica to various inorganic and organic pollutants was generally comparable to other amphipods used as standard test species in ecotoxicological studies, indicating this species can be applied in the assessment of environments polluted by various harmful substances.

The acute toxicity effect of triorganotin of trioganotin on the growth of microalgae and shellfish was investigated through flask culture. The value of 120 hr-LC$_{50}$ that is the median lethal concentration of TBTO on the shellfish (R. philipinarum) was found to be 6 $\mu$g/L. The acute toxicity effect of TBTO on T. suecica was obviously shown even at the concentration of 0.5 $\mu$g/L, and the effect diminished as the initial cell density increased. The effect also diminished less in the experiment done under aeration than in that done under non-aeration. To design a chemostat system for the test of chronic toxicity, the culture of T. suecica was executed in photobioreactor. In batch culture, the profiles of chlorophyII a and D.C.W. showed the growth of T. suecica very well, and the maximum specific growth rate was estimated to be 0.54 d$^{-1}$. with this value, as a dilution rate in contimuous culture, pH was nicely maintained between 7 and 9 when air was supplied with 3% CO$_{2}$. From all results and the natural environment of clam, a novel chemostat system was invented. Through this system, we can observe each independent toxicity effect of TBTO and plankton and combined toxicity effect as well.

Objectives Tricalcium phosphate and calcium hydrogenorthophosphate are high production volume chemicals, mainly used as foodstuff additives, pharmaceuticals, lubricants, synthetic resin, and disinfectants. Phosphate has the potential to cause increased algal growth leading to eutrophication in the aquatic environment. However, there is no adequate information available on risk assessment or acute and chronic toxicity. The aim of this research is to evaluate the toxic potential of phosphate compounds in the aquatic environment. Methods An aquatic toxicity test of phosphate was conducted, and its physico-chemical properties were obtained from a database recommended in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) guidance manual. An ecotoxicity test using fish, Daphnia, and algae was conducted by the good laboratory practice facility according to the OECD TG guidelines for testing of chemicals, to secure reliable data. Results The results of the ecotoxicity tests of tricalcium phosphate and calcium hydrogenorthophosphate are as follows: In an acute toxicity test with Oryzias latipes, 96 hr 50% lethal concentration ($LC_{50}$) was >100 (measured:>2.14) mg/L and >100 (measured: >13.5) mg/L, respectively. In the Daphnia test, 48 hr 50% effective concentration ($EC_{50}$) was >100 (measured: >5.35) mg/L and >100 (measured: >2.9) mg/L, respectively. In a growth inhibition test with Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, 72 hr $EC_{50}$ was >100 (measured: >1.56) mg/L and >100 (measured: >4.4) mg/L, respectively. Conclusions Based on the results of the ecotoxicity test of phosphate using fish, Daphnia, and algae, $L(E)C_{50}$ was above 100 mg/L (nominal), indicating no toxicity. In general, the total phosphorus concentration including phosphate in rivers and lakes reaches levels of several ppm, suggesting that phosphate has no toxic effects. However, excessive inflow of phosphate into aquatic ecosystems has the potential to cause eutrophication due to algal growth.
