대부분의 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) 은 최우선 오염물질로 간주되어지고 있는 매우 유독한 물질이다. Pyrene은 PAHs들 중에서도 그 유독성은 가히 심각하다. 그리고 Pyrene과 다른 PAHs화합물들은 물에 잘 용해가 되지 않는 소수성 성질을 가지고 있어 화학적 또는 생물학적 분해가 용이하지 않다. 이러한 성질을 극복하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 Pyrene을 대표 물질로 하여 2 단계 오존처리를 하였다. 첫 단계에서 Pyrene을 무극성인 핵산 용매에 대량 (2000 mg/L) 으로 녹여 오존처리를 하였다. 이때 Pyrene은 극성 분자들, 즉 알콜과 알데하이드 그리고 에시드 기능기를 가지는 물질들로 변화되었으며 이 변화된 물질들을 다시 극성 용매, 물에 녹여 두 번째 오존처리를 하였다. 두 번째 오존 처리된 Pyrene의 부산물들과 중간생성물들은 생물학적 처리로 가능한지 연구되어지기 위해 $BOD_5$와 COD 그리고 E-coli toxicity tests가 이루어졌다. 그 결과 오존 처리된 Pyrene은 유독하지도 않았고 Pyrene의 부산물들과 중간생성물들은 생물학적 처리가 용이하여졌다. Gas chromatograph (GC) 분석을 통해 Pyrene의 부산물들과 중간생성물들을 밝혀내었다. 이 연구를 토대로 소수성 성질을 가지는 많은 방향족 물질들을 처리하기가 매우 용이해졌다.

The photodegradation of pyrene, chrysene and benzo［a］pyrene, that were similar in structure among poly-cyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAMs), were investigated in water irradiated with a low-pressure mercury lamp (wavelength of 253.7 nm and UV output of 1.35 ${\times}$ 10$\^$-3/J/s). The effects of several factors (t-BuOH, HCO$_3$$\^$-/ and pH) on photodegradation of above three PAHs were also examined. The photodegradation rates of PAHs decreased with increasing the concentration of t-BuOH, but decreased little with increasing the concentration of HCO$_3$$\^$-/ under the concentrations used in this study. The photodegradation rates of PAHs decreased with increasing pH, but their change were greater in case of pH increase from acid to neutral and were little in case of pH increase from neutral to base. The photodegradation rates of PAMs fitted a first-order kinetic model and their photodegradation rates decreased in the following sequences: pyrene>chrysene>benzo[a]pyrene among the PAHs used.

난분해성 다핵방향족 탄화수소인 pyrene의 생분해를 해수와 해사로 구성된 microcosm에서 조사하였다. 농도 100~1,000 ppm pyrene의 5주동안 자연분해도는 5~$20^{\circ}C$에서 1~11% 이고 이때 전환율은 310~2,200 ng/g(ml).day 이었다. 생분해에 미치는 분해균주 접종량, pyrene 농도, 온도와 계면활성제 첨가의 영향등을 영양염류가 투여된 시료에서 조사하였다. 혼합 분해균주접종시 해수보다는 해사에서 전환율이 전체적으로 높았으며 $10^{7}$cells/ml 접종시 pyrene 200 ppm 농도의 해사에서 대조구보다 분해도가 7.8배 높았다. 가장 높은 전환율 4,860 ng/g/day는 1,000 ppm pyrene이 첨가된 해사에 복합균주를 접종한 시료에서 측정되었다. Glucose 첨가시 해사에서는 배양초기에만 분해도의 증가가 나타났으며, 해수에서는 분해도가 8~10% 증가하였다. 계면활성제와 mineral oil 의 첨가는 오히려 pyrene 분해도를 대부분 감소시켰는데 CMC가 생분해에 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 판단된다.

Pyrene은 보통 석유류로서 오염된 지역에서 쉽게 발견된다. 이 화합물은 생물학적으로 난분해성물질이므로 오염지역에서 장시간 존재한다. 세 종류의 토양(rhizosphere soil, non-rhizosphere soil, sterilized soil)에서 pyrene의 분해속도를 조사하기 위하여 microcosm실험을 수행하였다. Pyrene 농도감소속도는 rhizosphere soil)non-rhizosphere soil>sterilized soil 순서로 증가하였다. 또한 뿌리 유출물을 모사한 유기산의 첨가는 pyrene의 농도감소에 큰영향을 미치지 않았으나 pyrene농도감소 속도와 토양미생물의 증가는 좋은 상관관계를 보여주었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 미생물의 밀도가 높은 rhizosphere 토양에서 pyrene의 생물학적 분해가 효과적으로 진행되는 것으로 나타났다.

This study was initiated to investigate the effective action and mechanism of GE-132 (Carboxyethylgermanium sesquioxide)on benzo(a)pyrene, which have strong carcinogenicity and mutagenicity. To confirm desmutagenic effect (inhibition of metabolic processes of benzo(a)pyrene with S9 Mix or inactivation of the mutagenicity of benzo(a)pyrene metabolites) and antimutagenic effect (inhibition of gene-expression of reverted genes) of GE-132 against benzo(a)pyrene using with Salmonella typhimuyium TA98 Ames test was performed. The revertants in desmutagenicity test were decreased significantly in the combined groups of benzo(a)pyrene and GE-132 than benzo(a)pyrene only, without inhibition the metabolism of benzo(a)pyrene by S9 Mix. The ideal combined groups of benzo(a)pyrene and GE-132 were 10 $\mu{M}$ and 10mg, 20 $\mu{M}$ and 20mg, 100 $\mu{M}$ and 30 mg, respectively. Then, the revertants in antimutagenicity test, which was studied the direct action of GE-132 on the induction of revertant cells by Salmonella typhimurium TA98 and activated benzo(a)pyrene were decreased significantly in the treated groups of GE-132 than no treated groups. The number of revertants of Salmonella typhimurium TA98 were reduced with increasing amounts of GE-132. From the above results, it was found that GE-132 inactivated the mutagenic metabolites of benzo(a)pyrene without inhibition of the enzyme action in the S9 Mix, and GE132 showed antimutagenic effect which have inhibitory action of reverted gene expression.

The photodegradations of pyrene, chrysene and benzo[a]pyrene that were similar in structure among polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were investigated with a low-pressure mercury lamp(the wavelength of 253.7 nm and UV output of 1.35${\times}$10$\^$-3/J/s). The optimum concentrations of TiO$_2$ and H$_2$O$_2$ on the photodegradation of pyrene, chrysene and benzo[a]pyrene were 1 g/L and 1.5${\times}$10$\^$-3/ M, respectively. By these optimum concentrations, their rates increased with increasing the concentration of TiO$_2$ and H$_2$O$_2$ because the amounts of OH radical formed increased, but for the higher concentrations than the optimum, their rates decreased with increasing those concentrations because the white turbidity phenomena occurs in case of TiO$_2$ and H$_2$O$_2$ acts as an OH radical inhibitor. The photodegradation rates among the photodegradation processes such as UV, UV/TiO$_2$, UV/H$_2$O$_2$, and UV/H$_2$O$_2$/TiO$_2$ decreased in the following sequences.: UV/H$_2$O$_2$/TiO$_2$> UV/H$_2$O$_2$> UV/TiO$_2$> UV.

In this study, we presented a newly synthesized pyrene-naphthalene diimide(NDI)-pyrene triad. The optical and structural properties were examined using various characterization techniques. A donor-acceptor-donor triad molecule exhibited a strong charge transfer, though there existed neither intramolecular nor intermolecular hydrogen bonding sites, due to the formation of preferential complementary complex between pyrene and NDI. Powder XRD measurement revealed a sharp and distinctive X-ray patterns, indicating the presence of microcrystalline-like structure. POM images showed anisotropic fingerprint texture similar to that of cholesteric phase, and SEM images showed numerous columnar structures with length of 1 to $10{\mu}m$. Above observation clearly demonstrated that ${\pi}$-complementary NDI-pyrene interactions in the traid was strong enough to form columnar aggregates in the long range.

Sessile organisms such as the oyster Crassostrea gigas have been given much attention as a potential biomonitoring indicator to assess the impact of toxicants on aquatic organism. In this study, we exposed cells isolated from gill of oyster (Crassostrea gigas) to hydrogen peroxide in vitro. In addition oysters were in vivo exposed to pyrene and benzo(a)pyrene at various concentrations for 2 weeks. Comet assay was used to detect DNA single strand breaks and to investigate the application of this technique as a tool for aquatic biomonitoring. Hydrogen peroxide increased DNA single strand break with increasing concentration after 30 minutes exposure in vitro. Pyrene and benzo(a)pyrene caused DNA damage only at very high concentration (100 $\mu\textrm{g}$/L or 1000 $\mu\textrm{g}$/L) at two week exposure in vivo. DNA damage was relatively higher at hemocyte than at gill. It suggested that metabolized PAHs are transferred to hemolymph from digestive gland which have a relatively high enzyme activity, and attacked the DNA of hemocyte, while gill accumulated PAHs without degrading them to their metabolites due to low enzyme activity at gill. Both in vitro and in vivo exposure experiments showed that the comet assay is an effective tool on screening whether the organism are exposed to genotoxic contaminants.

The effect of saponin extracted from Panax grneng CA Meyer on DNA repair and replicative DNA synthesis were examined in CHO-Kl cells cotreated with benzo(a)pyrene and rat liver S-15 fraction. The DNA strand breaks inititated by benzo(a)pyrene metabolites were measured by alkaline election technique. The addition of ginseng saponin to the culture media resulted in decrease of benzo(a)pyrene-induced DNA strand breaks, and restored the suppressed-semiconservative-DNA-synthesis by the carcinogen. DNA repair synthesis in the damaged cells was also elevated by the ginseng treatment when the repairing activites were measured for the (3H)-thymidine incorporation into the carcinogen damaged cellular DNk Comparative analysis of DNA-adduces of benzo(a)pyrene metabortes in microsomes suggested that ginseng saponin treatment in rats reduced the formation of electrophilic metabolites of benzo (a)-pyrene in the rat liver microsomes.

Abstract The removal percentage (94%) of 100 ppm of pyrene in a shaken culture of white rot fungus, Irpex lacteus, was much higher than that in a static culture (37.9%). Over 90% of the pyrene disappeared with I. lacteus grown at $15-27^{\circ}C$, yet less than 50% was removed at $37^{\circ}C$. The transformation rates of pyrene ($4.5-5.0{\;}\mu\textrm{g}/ml/day$) were not very different among cultures with 5- 30% inoculum sizes, and over 90% of the 100 ppm pyrene was removed in every case during 20 days of incubation. The biodegradation of pyrene by I. lacteus was confirmed by measuring the $CO_2$ evolved from the mineralization of the added pyrene. The activity of lignin peroxidase (LiP), which is known to be involved in the biodegradation by white rot fungi, was high between 8 to 12 days of incubation. Although manganese peroxidase activity was demonstrated during the same period as LiP, its activity was quite low, and no laccase activity was detected. Even though the activity patterns of ligninolytic enzymes did not coincide with the pyrene removal, this study shows that I. lacteus has a high biodegrading capability and can be a candidate for the bioremediation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon contaminants.inants.
