The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between airborne total dust and man-made mineral fibers (MMMF), and to estimate total dust concentration to maintain below the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) Threshold Limit Value (TLV$^{(R)}$) for the MMMF. The regression coefficients between airborne total dust concentrations and fiber concentrations determined in the industries producing glass fibers, rock wool. refractory ceramic and continuous filament glass fibers products were 0.41, 0.42, 0.20 and 0.19, respectively. The size characteristics of fibers as well as the amounts of contaminated non-fibrous dusts could affect the correlation intensities. When total dust and fiber exposure data were compared with the occupational exposure limits, there was a large gap between two evaluation results. The regression coefficient between total dust and fiber data was increased ($r^2=0.88$) in the process of insulation installation generating in the higher levels of glass or rock wool fibers. In this case, an estimated total dust concentration of glass wool or rock wool fibers complying with the ACGIH TLV (1 f/cc) was $1.7mg/m^3$. In conclusion, the total dust and fibers concentrations was highly correlated at the higher exposure levels so that total dust-monitoring data could be used to control simply and economically and to estimate worker's exposure to fibers.

동양활석광상에서 산출되는 백운석기원 활석(활석 I)과 투각섬석기원 활석(활석 II)의 차이를 밝히기 위해 광물조성을 연구하였다. 활석 II의 철과 알루미늄 평균 함량이 각각 2.18 wt%와 0.31 wt%이고, 활석 각각 1.48 wt%와 0.08 wt%로서 전자의 경우가 높다. 활석 I보다 활석 II에서 Mg/(Mg+Fe+Mn)비가 일정한 값으로 꾸준히 낮고, 마찬가지로 Al 함량이 높은 것은 이들의 근원물질인 투각섬석과 백운석의 조성의 차이에서 기인된 것으로 보인다. 활석 II에서의 Al과 Fe가 투각섬석 경우보다 부화된 것은 변질작용 중에 이들 원소의 불유동성과 열수용액의 급격한 확산에 기인된 것으로 해석되며, 후자의 경우 활석 ll의 불완전성장과 함께 순간적인 성핵을 촉진시키게 된다. 광석 중에 투각섬석기원 활석의 양이 증가하면 투각섬석 자체의 함량과 Al과 Fe 등의 불순물 증가로 인해 광석의 품위는 저하된다.

Studies on relationships between antioxidant nutrients and various chronic diseases are increasing. In this study , serum concentrations of antioxidant minerals(Se, Cu, Zn & Mn) wee measured and compared among normal Korean adults. The ICP -MS method was employed to measure mineral concentrations. The subjects consisted of 329 healthy adults(154 men & 175 women) aged 20-79 years. The mean serum concentration appeared to be 26.4$\pm$0.41 (Se), 89.6$\pm$1.53(Cu), 113.3$\pm$1.56(Zn) & 0.34$\pm$0.05(Mn)$\mu\textrm{g}$/㎗ for men and 24.5$\pm$0.32(Se), 95.1$\pm$1.58(Cu), 133.6$\pm$1.79(Zn) & 0.35$\pm$0.02(Mn) $\mu\textrm{g}$/㎗ for women respectively. Among antioxidant minerals measured, the mean serum levels of Se and Zn were higher in men than in women(p<0.001), whereas that of Cu was higher in women(p<0.01). No significant difference between sex was observed for the mean Mn concentrations. The mean serum levels of Se(p<0.01) and Zn(p<0.05) decreased significantly in the 60's women On the other hand, the Mn concentrations in the 60's of women showed a significant increase(p<0.01). This difference seems to be due to the changes in menopausal status . The Cu levels in men showed a consistent increase with advancing age. The mean Cu/Zn ratios were 0.83 $\pm$0.04 for men and 0.95$\pm$0.02(p<0.01) for women respectively. The fact that this ratio increased significantly at the 60's of men (1.26 ; p<0.001) requires further study in relation to chronic diseases. When analyzed by stepwise multiple regression, drinking positively influenced serum Se and Cu levels for both men and women , smoking, however, negatively influenced all serum mineral levels for women. Further studies are needed to clarify precise roles of antioxidant minerals, their interactions and their relation to disease status.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of smoking on nutrition intake, bone mineral density and blood mineral status. The subjects were composed of two groups: 100 smokers and 100 non-smokers was used along with a questionnaire. Anthropometric measurements, dietary intakes using 24-hours recall method were compared. At twenty subjects from each group were selected, bone mineral density were measured by quantitative ultrasound and plasma mineral levels were analyzed by ICP spectrometer. The average ages of smokers and non-smokers were 23.9 and 22.8 years old, respectively. The height, weight and BMI of the smokers were no significant difference. The average numbers of smoked cigarettes were 11.8/d and the average packyear was 3.1 in the smokers. About $97\%$ of the smokers drank alcoholic beverages, while $85\%$ of the non-smokers did. The smokers tended to eat less meals and dinner meal, but drink coffee more often compared to the non-smokers. The mean daily energy intake and CPF energy intake ratio were 2184. 9 kcal and 57.2 : 13.7 : 26.4 in the smokers and 2262.6 kcal and 55.8 : 13.1 : 28.6 in the non-smokers. The smokers consumed significantly lower intake of $\beta$-carotene. There were no significant differences in bone mineral density of BUA, SOS and QUI. There were no significant differences in plasma levels of Ca, Mg, Fe and Zn. However, plasma Cu level of the smokers was significantly higher than that of the non-smokers. In conclusion, the smokers of this study showed a more undesirable dietary intake in the light of their low ,B -carotene and high alcoholic beverages, and coffee. The plasma Cu level of the smokers was higher than that of the non-smokers, showing that Cu is involved in smoking. Therefore, it could be suggested that more systematic research be conducted with respect to Cu and smoking and that increased nutrition education and guidelines for smokers are required.

회동저수지 집수분지 내 주요 도로변 퇴적물의 중금속 함량은 토양오염 우려기준보다 낮게 나타났다 중금속함량이 높은 지역은 대부분 교통량이 많은 7번 국도이며 , 특히, 커브지점, 우수관, 과속단속 지점, 횡단보도 등에서 높은 함량을 보인다. 도로변 퇴적물 내 입도별 중금속 함량은 세립 입도($63{\mu}m$이하)일수록 높은 값을 보여주고 있으나, 총 함량은 조립 입도의 퇴적물($100{\mu}m$이상)에 의해 결정된다. 이는 우기 시에 유출수에 의해 세립 퇴적물이 주변 수계로 이동된 결과로 해석되며 수영강 및 회동저수지의 수질에 악영향을 미칠 수 있다. 따라서 교통량이 많은 7번 국도와 퇴적물이 쉽게 주변 수계로 유입될 수 있는 한물교와 같은 교량에서 퇴적물의 이동을 조절할 수 있는 적절한 처리시설이 요구된다.

The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of soy protein and soy isoflavones on bone and mineral density in young female Sprague-Dawley rats. Fifty eight rats (body Weight 75 $\pm$ 5 g) were randomly assigned to one of four groups, consuming casein, soy protein concentrate, soy protein isolate (57 mg isoflavones/100 g diet) or casein added isoflavones (57 mg isoflavones /100 g diet). All rats were fed on experimental diet and deionized water ad libitum for 9 weeks. Bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content (BMC) were measured using PIXImus (GE Lunar Co, Wisconsin, USA) in spine and femur on 3, 6, 9 weeks after feeding. The serum and urine concentrations of Ca and P were determined. Diet did not affect weight gain and mean food intake. Food efficiency ratio was lower In soy protein groups. The serum concentration of Ca and P were not changed by soy protein and isoflavones. Urinary Ca and P excretion were not significantly different. Spine BMD was significantly increased by soy protein isolate on 3 and 6 weeks after feeding. Femur BMD was significantly increased in the groups of soy protein isolate and isoflavones adding on after 9 weeks. Therefore, soy protein with rich isoflavones may be beneficial on spine and femur BMD increasement in growing female rats.

Groundwater chemistry in Namwon area, Korea, was investigated to understand the contribution of geochemical processes on groundwater chemistry. For this study, a total of 279 groundwater samples were collected from 93 wells distributed over the study area. Higher concentrations of major ions are generally encountered in the shallow alluvial wells, suggesting that these chemicals are originated from the surface contamination sources. Mass balance analysis based on reaction stoichiometry reveals that the water chemistry is regulated by three major chemical processes: weathering of silicate/ carbonate minerals, input of C1/SO$_4$ salts, and nitrate generating processes. The results show that mineral weathering is the most dominating factor regulating the groundwater chemistry. However, the groundwaters with the higher salt concentration indicate the larger mineral weathering effect, suggesting that some part of the mineral weathering effect is also associated with the anthropogenic activities such as limes applied to the cultivated lands, carbonates (CaCO$_3$) in the cement materials.

The aim of this study was to evalute the effect of multivitamin-mineral supplementation during pregnancy on plasma levels of antioxidants, erythrocyte antioxidant enzyme activities, and lipid peroxidation. A controlled, semi-randomized, prospective trial was performed by comparing the supplement group, which received multivitamin-mineral tables once daily for 10 weeks, with the control group. Plasma levels of $\beta$-carotene, tocopherol, coenzyme Q10, ascorbate, folate, zinc, and selenium and malondialdehyde (MDA), as well as the activities of superocxide dismutase(SOD) and glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px) in erythrocytes were measured initially (20 wk gestation) and at the end of the intervention (34 wk gestation). In the control group, plasma ascorbate and selenium levels decreased and tocopherol levels increased. In the supplement group, a significant increase in plasma $\beta$-carotene(46%), conenzyme Q10 (42%), and zinc (24%) was observed after 10 weeks of supplementation. No changes were observed in the plasma levels of MDA, and erythrocyte GSH-Px activity, while SOD activity increased in both control group and the supplement group during the intervention. These data suggest that multivitamin-mineral supplementation during pregnancy produced moderate increases in plasma $\beta$-carotens, coenzyme Q10, and zinc concentrations but the enhancement of those plasma antioxidants had on direct on the plasma level of MDA, erythrocytes SOD or GSH-Px activities.

먹는샘물과 용기 중에 phthalate 및 adipate를 분석하였다. 시료 전처리법으로서 먹는샘물의 경우는 methylene chloride를 용매로 하여 액체-액체 추출법을 사용하였고, 고체 시료는 속 슬렛 추출과 실리카겔 정제법을 사용하였다. 추출 후 농축한 다음 GC-MS (SIM)로 정량하였다. 추출물의 chromatogram은 방해물질이 없고 각 피크는 분리가 잘 되었다. 물 시료의 경우 $0.1{\sim}10{\mu}g/L$의 농도범위에서 $r^2$값이 0.996 이상의, 용기시료의 경우 $1{\sim}1,000{\mu}g/Kg$의 농도범위에서 $r^2$값이 0.994이상의 좋은 직선성을 보였다. 물 시료 중에서 검출한계는 $0.002{\sim}0.010{\mu}g/L$의 범위를 용기 시료 중에서는 $0.01{\sim}0.02{\mu}g/Kg$의 범위를 보였다. 먹는샘물 5 종류, PET병 2 종류, 라벨 2 종류, 병뚜껑 2 종류 그리고 접착제 2 종류를 위의 방법에 따라 분석하였다. 그 결과 국내산 먹는샘물 중에서는 대부분 불검출 되었고 외국산 먹는샘물에서 총 프탈레이트 $1.2{\mu}g/L$의 농도가 검출되어 외국의 경우 긴 유통기간 때문에 높은 것으로 판단되나 인체에 유해한 정도의 농도는 아니었다. 용기 재질 분석에서도 국내산 PET 용기에서 (약 0.55 mg/Kg) 보다 외국산의 경우가 (약 1.2 mg/Kg) 비교적 높은 농도로 검출되었다. 한편 라벨이나 접착제에서는 비교적 높은 농도로 프탈레이트가 함유되어 있는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과 먹는샘물과 용기 중에서 프탈레이트의 분석은 공시료 분석값을 정확히 빼주는 것이 필요하며 PET 시료채취 시에는 라벨과 본드를 제외시켜야 정확한 분석값을 구할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

The Motzfeldt intrusions in the Gardar Province, southern Greenland, split into syenitic plutonic and hypabyssal rocks, in which the latter include ring dykes and sheet intrusions. Sheet intrusions, considered as the source for rare earth elements (REE) and high field strength elements (HFSE), comprise sheets of peralkaline microsyenite (SPM), syenitic pegmatite (SP), and peralkaline microsyenite (PM). SP exhibits extremely high concentrations of REE and HFSE, which are positively correlated with increasing alkalinity from early towards late intrusion, caused by magmatic processes. In contrast, some of the SPM and PM are also significantly enriched in REE and HFSE, caused by post-magmatic fluids. The REE- and HFSE-rich phases in SP consist mainly of zircon and allanite with smaller amounts of pyrochlore in pseudomorph from the inferred eudialyte, whereas some of the PM and SPM consist of pyrochlore, REE-carbonate, and zircon in the matrix. The zircon grains in the Motzfeldt Sø Formation (MSF) syenite occur in interstitial spaces, exhibiting an association with magnetite and a bipyramidal form in texture. They are characterized by a highly fractured and embayed rim. Zircons from PM and SP are clearly enriched in Fe, Al, Ca, Na, Y, P, Hf, Y, P, Nb, Ta, and REE, and are depleted in Zr and Si in comparison with magmatic zircon. They also show a clear trend of higher LREE/HREE and $Eu/Eu^{\star}$ ratios, and lower $Ce/Ce^{\star}$ ratios, which define them as typical hydrothermal zircons. In contrast, zircons from the MSF syenite show a relatively lower LREE/HREE ratio and Eu and Ce anomalies of a similar magnitude compared with those from SP and PM. The occurrence and mineral composition of the zircon suggest that post-magmatic fluids have played an important role in the remobilization of REE and HFSE as well as the primary concentration of REE and HFSE, caused by magmatic processes.
