펜타클로로페놀의 현재 직업적 노출기준은 $0.5\;mg/m^3$(TLV-TWA)으로 권고하고 있다. 이 수치는 눈, 점막과 상기도의 염증과 발한, 열, 위장 불만, 시각 장해, 중추 신경계와 심혈관계 장해를 유발할 수 있는 급성 독성의 가능성을 최소로 하는 것을 목적으로 설정하였다. Chloracne는 공업용 펜타클로로페놀을 사용하거나 펜타클로로페놀을 생산하는 근로자들에 대해서 보고하였다. 펜타클로로페놀은 피부를 통해서 즉시 흡수되는데, 이 물질의 조직 독성은 펜타클로로페놀을 포함한 용액이나 펜타클로로페놀로 오염된 의류와 접촉된 사람에게서 보고되었다. 따라서 피부경고주석은 적합한 것으로 판단되었다. 펜타클로로페놀의 발암성 잠재력에 대한 명확한 증거는 간세포성과 신장에 가까운 신생물이 관찰된 설치류 생물 검정에서 발견되었다. 그러므로 본 물질은 인간에게 불명확한 관련성을 가진 동물성 발암물질(A3)로 설정하였다. 충분한 자료가 확보되지 않아 감작성 (SEN) 경고주석 또는 TLV-STEL은 권고되지 않았다. 펜타클로로페놀은 생물학적 노출지수(BEIs)가 권고된 물질이다.

Seven soil samples were collected from paddy fields located nearby Nagoya city in Japan. All the soils were subjected to flooded condition and incubated with PCP at $30^{\circ}C$ for two months, and their anaerobic PCP degradation have been monitored by checking the PCP concentration of the soils at regular intervals. The degradation of PCP did not occur in the soils autoclaved two times before pre-incubation. On the other hand, all the soils showed significant PCP degradation in non-sterilized condition after 30 days of incubation, except far one soil sample (Yatomi), in which PCP was rarely degraded until 30 days of incubation. This result showed PCP disappearance in the pad(rf soils was mainly caused by microbiological activity, and depended upon the physicochemical characteristics of the soils.

Chlorobenzenes (CBs) are ubiquitous hydrophobic chlorinated organic compounds in the environment. These compounds are used as de-ordants, solvents and pesticides, as well as byproducts of agro- or petro-chemical related manufacturing processes, such as PCBs and pentachlorophenol, or of biodegradation of lindane (Newhook and Meek, 1994). Unlike some organochlorine (OC) compounds, including polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and various pesticides, CBs are not banned from production or use in any country. (omitted)

The contents of pentachlorophenol (PCP) and 2,3,5,6-tetrachlorophenol (TeCP) in textile products are regulated for safety. Since an organic solvent such as 2-methoxyethanol is needed to extract chlorinated phenols from textile samples, nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis has been applied to achieve the separation of PCP and isomers of TeCP. The run buffer was 100 mM Tris/acetate in methanol whose pH was adjusted to 8.0. All of the analytes were negatively charged at pH 8.0 and their electrophoretic velocities were higher than the electroosmotic flow of the methanol buffer. A reverse voltage of -20 kV was applied along a 27-cm fused silica capillary with ID of 50 μm, and PCP and 3 TeCP isomers were separated based on the difference in $pK_a$ values in less than 4 min. The limits of detection (S/N = 3) were about 0.02 μM. By varying pH of the methanol run buffer, $pK_a$ values of the 4 chlorinated phenols were also estimated.

The primary objective of this study was to examine the toxic effects of PCP on activated sludge and to analyze its metabolic responses while treating wastewater containing pentachlorophenol (PCP) in a sequencing batch reactor (SBR) system operating under different control strategies. This study was conducted in two phases 1 and 2 (8-hr and 12-hr cycles). Each phase was operated with two control strategies I and II. Strategy I (reactor 1) involved rapid addition (5 minutes to complete) of substrate to the reactor with continuous mixing but no aeration for 2 hours. Strategy ll (reactor 2) involved adding the feed continuously during the first 2 hours of the cycle when the system was mixed but not aerated. During both phases each reactor was operated at a sludge age of 15 days. The synthetic wastewater was used as a feed. The COD of the feed solution was about 380 mg/l. After the reference response for both reactors was established, the steady state response of each system was established for PCP feed concentrations of 0.1 mg/l, 1.0 mg/l, and 5.0 mg/l in SBR systems operating on both 8-hr and 12-hr cycles. Soluble COD removal was not inhibited at any feed PCP concentrations used. At 5.0 mg/l fined PCP concentration and in SBR systems operating on phase 2, the concentrations of MLVSS were decreased; selective pressure on the mixed biomass might be increased, narrowing the range of possible ecological responses; the settleability of activated sludge was poor; the SOURS were increased, showing that the systems were shocked. Nitrification was made to some extent at all concentrations of feed PCP in SBR systems operating on phase 2 whereas in SBR systems operating on phase 1 little nitrification was observed. Then, nitrification will be delayed as much as soluble COD removal is retarded due to PCP inhibition effects. Enhanced biological phosphorus removal occurring in the system operating with control strategy I during phase 1 of this work and in the presence of low concentrations of PCP was unreliable and might cease at anytime, whereas enhanced biological phosphorus removal occurring in the system operating with either control strategy I or II during phase 2 of this work and in the Presence of feed PCP concentrations up to 1.0 mg/l was reliable. When, however, such processes were exposed to 5.0 mg/l PCP dose, enhanced phosphorus removal ceased and never returned.

Population changes of serveral bacterial groups and chemical changes of nutrients applied were compared between soils suspensed with pentachlorophenol(PCP) and amended with different nutrients. The number of total bacteria and Gram-negative bacteria were dramatically increased for 1st week, after remained at its maximum level for a short time, decreased gradually in all treatments for 5th week, the rate of decrease were faster at addition of only PCP than at addition of nutrients and PCP. While, the addition of nutrients in the soil suspension containing PCP suppressed the number of PCP-degrading bacteria. The dissipation of PCP were faster at single addition of PCP than at the combined addition of nutrients with PCP. The nutrients added with PCP were rapidly degraded for 1st week, among the nutrients the rate of degration of glucose was faster than that of glutamic acid or glycine. pH values in the suspension showed which addition of nutrients with PCP caused its changes in comparsion with addition of only PCP where changes was slightly.

The most common five chlorophenols (4-chloro-3-methylphenol, 2,4,5-trichlorophenol, 2,4,6-trichlorophenol, 2,3,4,6-tetrachlorophenol, pentachlorophenol) were determined from the industrial wastewater by GC/MS. The samples were collected from the petrochemical company, textile company and leather making company. The developed analytical method was modified by USEPA Method 3510. The samples were extracted with dichloromethane under pH 2 and pH 5-6, and determined by the GC/MS with SIM mode. There were good linearities (above $R^2=0.9943$) on e ranges of the 0.1 ng/mL~10 ng/mL and 0.5 ng/mL~10 ng/mL, and the limit of detection were between 0.1 ng/mL and 0.5 ng/mL. The absolute recoveries were measured at the concentration of 1, 5, and 10 ng/mL, and the recovery was 71.6~98.9% except for PCP. The relative standard deviation (RSD) was 1.2~14.3% and it gave a good reproducibility for the assay. The bias, which shows the accuracy, was a good although it was a little high values (11.3~22.1%) at the low concentration (1 ng/mL).

The screening of the microorganisms degrading chlorinated organic compounds such as PCP (pentachlorophenol) and TCE (trichloroethylene) was conducted with soil and industrial wastewater contaminated with various chlorinated organic compounds. Isolates (GP5, GP19) capable of degrading PCP and isolates (GA6, GA15) capable of degrading TCE were identified as Acetobactor sp., Pseudomonas sp., Arthrobacer sp., Xanthomonas sp. and named Acetobacter sp. GP5, Pseudomonas sp. GP19, Arthrobacer sp. GA6 and Xanthomoas sp. GA15, respectively. The microbial augmentation, OC17 formulated with the mixture of bacteria including isolates (4 strains) degrading chlorinated organic compounds and isolates (Acinetobacter sp. KN11, Neisseria sp. GN13) degrading aromatic hydrocarbons. Characteristics of microbial augmentation OC-17 showed cell mass of $2.8{\times}10^9CFU/g$, bulk density of $0.299g/cm^3$ and water content of 26.8%. In the experiment with an artificial wastewater containing PCP (500 mg/l), degradation efficiency of the microbial augmentation OC17 was 87% during incubation of 65 hours. The degradation efficiency of TCE (300 uM) by microbial augmentation OC17 was 90% during incubation of 50 hours. In a continuous culture experiment, analysis of the biodegradation of organic compounds by microbial augmentation OC17 in industry wastewater containing chlorinated hydrocarbons showed that the removal rate of COD was 91% during incubation of 10 days. These results indicate that it is possible to apply the microbial augmentation OC17 to industrial wastewaters containing chlorinated organic compounds.

The extracellular adenine deaminase from Nocardioides sp. J-275L was purified by the following techniques: ammonium sulfate fractionation, DEAE-Cellulose, DEAE-Sephadex A-50 column chromatography, and Sephacryl S-200 superfine gel filtration. The enzyme was partially purified about 3889.5-fold with about 5.2% yield by these procedures. The molecular weight of the enzyme was 39,000 by a calibrated Sephacryl S-200 superfine column chromatography. The enzyme was stable at pH 7.5 and up to $40^{\circ}C$. Glycerol was effective on the stabilization of the enzyme during storage. The optimum pH and temperature of the enzyme were around pH 7.5 and $40^{\circ}C$, respectively. The apparent Michaelis constant Km of the enzyme for adenine was $7.4\times 10^{-5}$M. The purine analogues, 6-chloropurine, 2,6-diaminopurine, 6-bromopurine, 4-aminopyrazolo [3.4-d]pyrimidine, and 8-azaadenine were substrates for the enzyme. 6-Dimethylaminopurine was a competitive inhibitor of the enzyme. The enzyme was inhibited by 1mM of $Cu^{2+}, Fe^{3+}, Pb^{2+}, Hg^{2+}$, and $Ag^{+}$, and 1mM of $\alpha$,$\alpha$'-dipyridyl, pentachlorophenol, and pCMB.

Ethanol was utilized by mixed rumen microbes, but addition of pentachlorophenol (25 mg/l), a methanogen inhibitor, suppressed the utilization of ethanol. Carbon monoxide (50% of the gas phase), a hydrogenase inhibitor, more strongly suppressed the utilization of ethanol, propanol, and butanol. These results suggest that the major ethanol utilizers are $H_2$ producers. Ethanol utilization was depressed at low pH (below 6.0). Since methanogens were shown to be relatively resistant to low pH, it appears that ethanol utilizers are particularly sensitive to low pH. Ruminococcus albus and R. flavefaciens in mono-culture produced ethanol from carbohydrate (glucose and cellobiose), even when a high level (170 mM) of ethanol was present. Ethanol was not utilized even in the absence of carbohydrate, but the co-culture of these bacteria with methanogens resulted in the utilization of ethanol, i.e., when $H_2$ was rapidly converted to $CH_4$, R. albus and R. flavefaciens utilized ethanol. These results suggest that ethanol is utilized when the electrons liberated by the oxidation of ethanol are rapidly removed, and ready electron disposal in ethanol-utilizing, $H_2$-producing bacteria is accomplished by the interspecies transfer of $H_2$.
