Cell death induced by polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), environmental toxicant, was investigated in mouse splenocytes. The fragmentation of intact DNA, a parameter of apoptotic cell death, was evaluated qualitatively by agarose gel electrophoresis analysis and quantitatively by diphenylamine reaction method. PCBs induced apoptotic cell death of splenocytes in a dose- and time- dependent manner. The effect of serum on the apoptotic cell death induced by PCBs was also investigated. The DNA fragmentation induced by PCB treatment in serum-free medium was clearly inhibited by an addition of serum to the culture medium. The decrease of DNA fragmentation due to serum addition was accompanied with the increase of cell viability.

In this paper, a technical method for removing the solder from PCBs has been proposed to simplify the pulverizing process and to get higher quality of materials for recycling of the electronic parts in the Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs). There are several techniques to remove the solder from PCB, such as physical and chemical method, vibration, suction and blowing and so on. Among them, the suction technique turned out the best method by investigation. In the suction method, there are three variables for removing the solder. They are a temperature of the thermal wire, a velocity of moving PCB and a gap between PCB and thermal wire. To find the optimal variables for the system, an experiment has been conducted by a trial and error method. The optimal variables were found $220^{\circ}C$ of temperature, 11.58mm/s of velocity, 10mm of gap (A gap between suction hole and bottom of PCBs is 5mm). The result of the experiment shows that 50% of the solder were removed.

In this paper electromagnetic topology (EMT) is used to analyze the lumped components on printed circuit boards (PCBs). It is difficult to obtain desirable results about the electromagnetic coupling problems by using a numerical or an experimental method on complex systems. The EMT can be considered as a helpful method to the analysis of electromagnetic interference / electromagnetic compatibility (EMI/EMC) problems in the complex system. To verify the validity of this method, three types of the PCBs mounting a simple circuit are fabricated and experimented.

There is a critical developmental period during which brain sexual differentiation proceeds irreversibly under the influence of gonadal hormone. Recently, kinesin superfamily-associated protein 3 (KAP3) gene expressed during the 'critical period' of rat brain differentiation was identified by us (Choi and Lee, 1999). KAP3 functions as a microtubule-based motor that transports membranous organelles anterogradely in cells, including neurons (Yamazaki et al., 1996). mRNA level of KAP3 gene markedly increased before the initiation of puberty. Neonatal treatment of estrogen clearly inhibited the prepubertal increase in KAP3 mRNA level (Choi and Lee, 1999). In the present study, we aimed to investigate the effects of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), as endocrine disruptors (EDs) on the expression of KAP3 gene during the 'critical period' of rat brain development. In our data, PCBs significantly decreased the expression of KAP3 gene in the fetal (day 17) and the neonatal (day 6 after birth in) male and female rat brains. The body weight and the breeding ability were significantly decreased in the PCBs-exposed rats compared with the control. These results showed that PCBs affect the transcriptional level of brain sexual differentiation related gene, KAP3, in the fetal and the neonatal rat brains. The maternal exposure to the PCBs may lead to toxic response in embryonic brain sexual differentiation and breeding ability after sexual maturation. This study indicates that KAP3 gene may be useful as a gene marker to analyze the molecular mechanism of toxic response in the animal brain development and sexual maturation exposed to PCBs.

PCBs는 뛰어난 물리 화학적, 열적 안전성과 전기 절연성으로 인해 윤활유, 열교환유체, 복사지 등 많은 용도로 사용되어 왔으며, 1930년대에서 1970년대까지 Aroclors, Kaneclors, Clophens, Phenaclors 등과 같은 상업적 PCBs 생산품들이 절연유로 사용되었다. 본 연구에서는 PCBs의 주된 배출원인 변압기 절연유를 채취하여 Aroclor 1242, 1248, 1254, 1260의 표준물질을 사용하여 정성분석을 하였다. 제작년도 및 제작사별로 채취 분석한 결과 절연유는 Aroclor 1242, Aroclor 1254, Aroclor 1260의 단일 제품을 함유하거나 이들이 혼합되어 함유되어 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 또한, 시판되는 스크리닝 키트(20 ppm, 50 ppm)를 이용한 절연유 시료 분석방법의 적용성을 검토하였다.

재활용을 위한 LCD TV 분해 시 영상 신호 송신, 전원 공급, 화상 구현 등을 위한 다양한 종류의 PCB가 발생한다. PCB에는 금이나 구리와 같은 유가금속이 다량 함유 되어 있으나 사용용도, PCB 패키징 방법에 따라 함유 되어 있는 유가금속의 종류와 함유량에 차이가 있다. 본 연구에서는 PCB 종류에 따른 구조 분석을 통하여 PCB에 함유 된 금과 구리의 함유량에 따라 PCB를 등급별로 분류 하고자 하였으며 금 회수 효율이 높은 PCB, 금 회수 효율이 낮은 PCB, 금이 함유되어 있지 않은 PCB 세 종류로 분류를 하였다. 또한 실제 LCD TV를 분해하여 발생된 PCB에 대한 함유량 분석을 통하여 PCB 내 금과 구리 함유량을 분석하였다.

Distribution of Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and organochlorine pesticides in sediments, seawater and fish tissues were examined. Concentrations of ${\Sigma}PCBs$ and ${\Sigma}DDTs$ in the intertidal sediments of Asan Bay ranged from $1.90{\sim}3.27\;ng\;g^{-1}$ dw (dry weight) and $0.51{\sim}1.26\;ng\;g^{-1}$ dw, respectively. ${\Sigma}PCBs$ concentrations in the tissue of greenling (Hexagrammos otakii), olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) and finespotted flounder (Pleuronichthys cornutus) were $1.27{\pm}0.55$, $1.30{\pm}0.71$ and $1.19{\pm}0.43\;ng\;g^{-1}$ ww (wet weight), respectively. The profile of PCBs in the sediments and the 3 species of fish differed as witnessed by the dominance of tetra- to penta-chlorinated congeners in sediments while penta- to hexa-chlorinated congeners dominated in fish. ${\Sigma}DDTs$ concentrations were $0.67{\pm}0.52$, $0.79{\pm}0.61$, $1.58{\pm}1.05\;ng\;g^{-1}$ ww respectively in the tissue of greenling, olive flounder and finespotted flounder. The p,p'-DDE appeared to be the most important metabolite of DDT in studied fishes. The concentrations of PCBs and organochlorine pesticides measured in this study for fish were generally lower than those of previous studies. Compared to the pollutant concentration quality guidelines in marine fish, the environment of Asan Bay appears to be in a healthy state.

Objectives: This study was carried out to examine whether the apparent photolysis with or without sensitizers [NaOH and humic acid (HA)] was prompted photodegradation of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) in aqueous solution. Methods: PCBs photodegradation occurred using fluorescence black lamps at ${\lambda}_{max}=300nm$. PCB congeners were exposed in 10 ppm HA or 0.05N NaOH solutions, to investigate the decreasing profile of PCB concentration with time. The PCBs were then analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Reductive degradation profile of PCB congeners in the presence of both sensitizers under oxygen-saturated protic conditions was described using the wind-rose diagrams. Results: Use of HA or NaOH decreased PCB concentration with time in the dark and on irradiation, indicating that photolysis underwent through reductive dechlorination through energy transfer and possibly with reactive oxygens. The dechlorination was marked by a chromatographic shift, observed in the GC-MS plots. Therefore it is logical to assume that increasing the dose of sensitizers would increase the photodegradation rates of PCBs. The half-lives of pentachloro-PCB (penta-3) in 0.05N NaOH and 10 ppm HA were estimated at about 47 hours and 39 hours, respectively, under the same experimental conditions of photolysis. It was found that the rate of photolysis of pentachloro-PCB in aqueous solution followed apparent first-order kinetics compared to other congeners. Conclusion: Photochemical degradation (using 328 nm UV light) of penta- and hexa-PCBs in HA or alkaline solution is a viable method for pretreatment method. The results are helpful for the further comprehension of the reaction mechanism for photolytic dechlorination of PCBs in aquatic system.

대기중에 PCBs의 바이오 모니터용으로 널리 이용되고 있는 소나무잎을 채취할 때 발생하는 오차를 줄이기 위한 방법에 관하여 연구한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 새잎에서부터 3년생 잎까지 소나무잎에 농축된 ${\sum}$PCBs의 농도는 거의 일정한 율로 증가하는 바소나무잎은 대기중 PCBs의 장기간에 걸친 바이오 모니터링용으로 이용할 수 있음을 알았다. 반면,이러한 특성은 어린잎과 오래된 잎을 혼합하여 분석하거나 서로 다른 지역 간의 오염도를 비교할 때 연도가 서로 다른 잎들 중의 농도를 비교해서는 아니된다는 것을 말해준다. 2. 서로 수령이 다른 몇 그루의 나무에서 채취한 잎중 ${\sum}$PCBs의 차이는 거의 없었다. 3. 높은 나무 꼭데기에서 자라는 잎에 침착된 ${\sum}$PCBs 농도가 지상 가까이에서 자라는 나뭇잎에서 보다 낮은 농도를 보였다. 4. 다른 나뭇가지나 숲으로 가려져 있어 통풍이 원활하지 못하는 곳에서 자라는 잎은 통풍이 잘 되는 곳에서 자란 잎에 비하여 침착된 ${\sum}$PCBs의 농도거 상당히 낮은 값을 보였다.
