본 연구에서는 다환방형족화합물의 하나인 phenanthrene를 이용하여 천연망간산화물에 흡착/탈착되는 특성을 평가하였다. 토양, 퇴적물이나 수체에 다양한 오염물이 동시에 존재하는 경우를 고려하여 페놀계 오염물이 있는 경우, 다환 방형족화합물의 흡탈착에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 망간산화물에 의하여 4-클로로페놀은 효과적으로 산화되었으며 반응산물은 고분자화(휴믹화) 되는 경향을 나타내었다. 4-클로로페놀이 분해됨에 따라 망간산화물 표면에 흡착되는 phenanthrene의 양은 급격히 증가하였다. 또한, 4-클로로페놀이 존재하는 경우 흡착된 phenanthrene의 탈착에 대한 저항성은 4-클로로페놀 농도가 증가할수록 강하게 나타남으로써 고분자화된 4-클로로페놀 반응산물에 phenanthrene이 강하게 흡착되어 있다는 결과를 도출하였다. 결과적으로 망간산화물은 페놀계 오염물과 다환방향족화합물을 동시에 처리하는데 효과적으로 사용될 수 있음을 보여주었다.

본 연구에서는 활성슬러지 하수처리장에 유입된 PAHs의 일종인 anthracene을 대상으로 이의 농도분포, 물리적 혹은 생물학적 변환을 예측하기 위한 수학적 모형을 제안하였다. 이 수학적 모형은 유입 anthracene의 volatilization, biodegradation 및 adsorption/desorption과 같은 반응을 고려한 5개의 연립미분방정식으로 구성되어 있으며, 이들에는 7개의 kinetic rate constants와 18개의 input variables를 포함하고 있다. Steady state simulation의 결과 유입된 anthracene은 1차 침전지에서의 슬러지 배출로 인하여 약 33%가 포기조에서 발생한 volatilization에 의하여 약 61%가 제거되어, 총괄적인 anthracene의 제거율은 약 97%정도이었다. Dynamic simulation의 결과로 본 연구대상 system의 경우에 system이 steady state에 도달하는 시간은 약 160시간 정도로 예측되었다. 이와 아울러 본 연구에서 제안된 수학적 모형의 활용 가능성이 각종 simulation의 결과로 비교적 구체적으로 규명되었다.

We exposed juvenile puffer fish, Takifugu obscurus(30 days after hatching) to various aqueous pollutants including 4 kinds of inorganic metals (Ag, Cd, Cu and Hg), 2 organotin compound.; (tributyltin ［TBT］ and triphenyltin［TPhT］) and 5 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) compounds (chrysene, fluoranthene, naphthalene, phenanthrene and pyrene) to estimate median lethal concentrations (LC50s) of each pollutant after the 96-hour acute exposure. Among the inorganic metals, Hg (52 $\mu\textrm{g}$/L; 96-h LC50) was most toxic to test animals and followed by Ag (164 $\mu\textrm{g}$/L), Cu (440 $\mu\textrm{g}$/L) and Cd (1180 $\mu\textrm{g}$/L). Aqueous TBT was more toxic between the two organotins; the 96-h LC50 for TBT (5.1 $\mu\textrm{g}$/L) was 3 times lower than that of TPhT (17.3 $\mu\textrm{g}$/L). The acute toxicity of PAH compounds was highest for chrysene (1.5 $\mu\textrm{g}$/L; 96-h LC50) and decreased in the order of pyrene (65 $\mu\textrm{g}$/L) > fluoranthene (158 $\mu\textrm{g}$/L) > phenanthrene (432 $\mu\textrm{g}$/L) > naphthalene (8690 $\mu\textrm{g}$/L). The toxicity of PAH compounds wat closely related to their physico-chemical characteristics such as $K_{ow}$ and water solubility, and well explained by simple QSAR relationship. The sensitivity of puffer fish to various inorganic and organic pollutants was generally comparable to various fish species widely used as standard test species in previous studies and further evaluation should be conducted to develop adequate testing procedure for T. obscurus when used in various toxicity tests.

본 연구는 천연계 계면활성제의 하나인 사이클로덱스트린을 이용한 화학적 토양세정을 다룬다. 두가지 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon인 phenanthrene과 naphthalene을 오염물질로 선정하고 토양종류 및 세정강도를 주변수로 하여 수직칼럼 상에서의 오염물질 제거효과를 분석, 고찰하였다. 실험실 규모의 연구결과, 오염원 제거효율은 세정액의 유량, 농도, 온도 및 토양칼럼의 공극률에 비례하는 것으로 나타났으며, 형광광도 분석과 methylene blue와 같은 염료 라벨링 분석을 통하여 초기 세정은 토양과 계면활성제의 흡착에 의존하고 세정이 거듭될수록 유체흐름에 의한 전단력이 주요변수임을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 데이터는 향후 pilot 규모의 현장세정시 기초자료로 활용가능하며, 세정전략 (회분식, 연속식)수립에 유용할 것으로 사료된다.

A field study was performed to test effectiveness of a bloluminescent genetically engineered microorganism (GEM) for bioremediation process monitoring and control. The study employed Pseudomonas fluorescens HK44 that was the first strain approved for field application in the U.S. for bioremediation purposes. HK44 contains lux gene fused within a naphthalene degradative pathway, allowing this GEM to bioluminesce as it degrades naphthalene as well as substituted naphthalenes and other polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) , Results showed that HK44 was maintained in both PAH-contarninated and uncontaminated soils even 660 days after inoculation. HK44 was able to produce bioluminescence in response to PAHs in soil. Although effectiveness of chemical remediation was not assessed due to heterogeneous distribution of contaminants, decreased concentration of naphthalene was shown in the soils, Taken together, HK44 was useful for in situ bioremediation process monitoring and control. This work is so far the only field release of a GEM for bioremediation purposes.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the seasonal variation of PAHs and to estimate their source characteristics in Taegu area. To do this, four sampling sites were selected to represent an industrial, a traffic, a traffic & residential, and a residential area in Taegu. Total of 72 samples had been collected from January, 1999 to September, 1999 on glass micro fiber filters by high volume air sampler. The PAHs in the total suspended particulate were extracted by a soxhlet process with dichloromethane and analyzed by GC/MSD, GC/FID. A statistical analysis was performed for the PAHs data set using a principal component analysis to derive important factor inherent in the interactions among the variables. The specific conclusions of this research are: 1) There was a significant seasonal and local variation in the atmospheric concentration of PAHs. The seasonal variation is winter>spring>Fall>summer, and the local variation is industrial>traffic>graffic & residential>residential area. 2) To evaluate the correlation between a measured PAHs and other affecting factors such as air pollutant concentration and meterological data, statistical analysis was performed. PAHs and other affecting factors such as air pollutant concentration and meterological data, statistical analysis was performed. PAHs have negative correlation with temperature (r=-0.593, p<0.05), radiation(r=-0.535, p<0.05), and O3(r=-0.719, p<0.05), but have positive correlation with NO(r=0.615, p<0.05) 3)Finally, multivariate analysis was performed for the PAHs dat set to identify and to estimate the source contributions of PAHs. According to results of statistical analysis, it could be identifies as three factors such as vehicular/gasoline, vehicular/diesel, and combustion in Taegu area.

Environmental pollutants such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have been implicated in cancer development and progression. However, the effects of PAHs on carcinogenesis are still poorly understood. Here, we characterized a mouse cancer cell line BNL 1ME A. 7R.1 (1MEA) derived by transformation of non-tumorigenic liver cell line BNL CL.2 (BNL) using 3-methylcholanthrene (3MC), a carcinogenic PAH. RT-PCR and immunoblot analysis were used to determine the expression level of mRNA and proteins, respectively. To determine functionality, cell motility was assessed in vitro using a transwell migration assay. Both mRNA and protein levels of E-cadherin were significantly decreased in 1MEA cells in comparison with BNL cells. While the expression levels of mesenchymal markers and related transcription factors were enhanced in 1MEA cells, which could lead to increase in cell motility. Indeed, we found that 7-day exposure of BNL cells to 3-MC reduced the level of the adhesion molecule and epithelial marker E-cadherin and increased reciprocally the level of the mesenchymal marker vimentin in a dose-dependent manner. Taken together, these results indicate that the process of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) may be activated during premalignant transformation induced by 3-MC. A mechanism study to elucidate the relation between 3-MC exposure and EMT is underway in our laboratory.

In order to investigate the effect of dimethyl ether (DME) on PAH and soot formation, the fuel has been mixed to the counter-flow diffusion flames of ethylene. Laser-induced incandescence and laser-induced fluorescence techniques were employed to measure relative concentrations of soot volume fraction and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) concentration, respectively. Results showed that even though pure DME flame produces the minimal amount of PAH and soot, the mixture fuel of DME and ethylene could increase PAH and soot formation, as compared to those of pure ethylene flame. This implies that even though DME has been known to be a clean fuel for soot formation, the mixture fuel of DME and the hydrocarbon fuel could produce enhanced production of soot. Numerical simulation demonstrated that methyl (CH$_{3}$) radical generated by the initial pyrolysis of DME can be contributed to the enhancement of PAH and soot formation, through the formation of propargyl (C$_{3}$H$_{3}$) radical.

With AKARI, we carried out near-infrared spectroscopy of the nearby barred spiral galaxy, NGC 1097, categorized as Seyfert 1 with a circumnuclear starburst ring. Our observations mapped the galactic center region. As a result, we obtain the spatial distributions of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon $3.3{\mu}m$ and the aliphatic hydrocarbon $3.4-3.6{\mu}m$ emission. The former is detected from all the observed regions and the latter is enhanced near the bar connecting the ring with the nucleus. In addition, we detect absorption features due to $H_2O$ ice and CO/SiO at the ring and the galactic center, while we detect the hydrogen recombination line $Br{\alpha}$ only from the ring. Hence the observed spectra change dramatically within the central 1 kpc region.

Since the detection of 3.3-micron PAH (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon) and 3.4-micron aliphatic hydrocarbon features in the spectra of Titan (Bellucci et al. 2009; Kim et al. 2011) and Saturn (Kim et al. 2012), respectively, the 3.3-micron feature of gaseous CH4 has been thought to be still the important spectral feature in the 3-micron absorption structures of Titan and Saturn. However, the analyses of the 3.3-and 3.4-micron emission structures of Saturn revealed that the influence of the gaseous CH4 on the structures is rather minimal (Kim et al. 2019). We present synthetic spectra of gaseous CH4, and the PAH and aliphatic haze particles in order to show the degree of influence of their spectra on the 3.3-and 3.4-micron emission structures of Saturn, and we compare these synthetic spectra with currently available observations. We constructed these synthetic spectra using newly developed radiative transfer equations. These equations are able to address detailed radiative processes in the atmospheres containing various gases and haze particles. We expect these radiative transfer equations can also be widely applied to the investigation of radiative transfer processes and the analyses of the spectra of celestial objects such as the Earth, the Moon, planets, and interstellar nebulae.
