  • Recently water demand is increasing as the industry prospers. The increase of water demand is followed by the increase of wastewater discharge which pollutes rivers and ground water extensively. These rivers, reservoirs and ground water are sources for drinking water and their contamination affects the quality of water supply and other potable water. In Korea there are 776 water treatment plants which supply drinking water from main rivers or reservoirs. Rivers are the biggest water source for drinking water is being contaminated, the innovation of treatment process is needed. The construction and operation of water supply facilities is under the control of the Ministry of Construction and the water supply offices of cities and provinces. However, drinking water quality is under the control of the bureau of sanitation in the Ministry of Health and Social Affairs. There are 33 items in drinking water quality standards of Korea. Trihalomethanes, Selenium, Diazinone and other three of pesticides have been included lately, The Ministry of Health and Social Affairs is planning to enhance. the level of $VOC_S$(Vola-tile Organic Compounds) standard. Drinking water quality standard is the goal to protect the quality of supply water and ground water. In order to protect the source water from domestic or industrial water, technological improvement and adequate investment should be urgently made. The ultimate goal of drinking water quality is safety and health of consumers. The more stringent the standard are, the better the water quality will be. As the drinking water quality standards become more stringent this year, various and positive solutions by the authorities concerned must be prepared.

  • Reactive oxygen species are known to mediate various pathological conditions associated with malaria. In this study, the antioxidant potential of Clerodendrum violaceum leaf extracts, an indigenous antimalarial remedy, was evaluated. Total phenol, flavonoid, selenium, vitamins C and E contents of Clerodendrum violaceum leaf extracts were determined. The free radical scavenging activities of the extracts against DPPH, superoxide anion and hydrogen peroxide coupled with their reducing power were also evaluated in vitro. Moreover, responses of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and glutathione reductase (GR) in a rodent malaria model to a 4-day administration of Clerodendrum violaceum leaf extracts were also evaluated. The methanolic extract was found to contain the highest amounts of antioxidant compounds/element and also demonstrated the highest free radical scavenging activity in vitro. The results showed a significant decrease (p < 0.05) in SOD and CAT activities with a concurrent significant (p < 0.05) increase in GPx and GR activities in both erythrocytes and liver of untreated Plasmodium berghei NK65-infected animals compared to the uninfected animals. The extracts were able to significantly increase (p < 0.05) SOD and CAT activities and significantly reduce (p < 0.05) GPx and GR activities in both the liver and erythrocytes compared to those observed in the untreated infected animals. The results suggest the augmentation of the antioxidant system as one of the possible mechanisms by which Clerodendrum violaceum extract ameliorates secondary effects of malaria infection, alongside its antiplasmodial effect in subjects.

  • 식물체 추출물, 천연유래의 산화방지제, 향신료 추출물등을 대상으로 이들이 어유의 산화안정성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 산화방지 효과는 Rancimat을 이용한 가속시험(acceleration test)을 통하여 얻은 유지산화의 유도기간을 결정하여 비교하였는데 부추 깻잎, 귤, 마늘의 지용성 및 수용성 추출물, 구연산을 비롯한 각종 유기산과 EDTA 및 selenium은 어유의 산화안전성에 별로 영향을 미치지 못하였다. 카페인산, quercetln, catechin, 갈산 라우릴 에스테르같은 플라본(flavone) 및 폴리페놀 계통의 화합물은 어유의 유도기간 4.0시산을 $2.2{\sim}3.8$배 연장시킬 수 있는 것으로 나라났다. 천연물 유래의 산화방지제 중 세사몰 0.1% 첨가구와 로즈마리 추출물 0.1% 첨가구의 유도기간은 각각 11.6시간과 16.4시간으로 산화방지 효과가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 로즈마리 추출물은 0.02% 아스코르브산 또는 0.2% 델타 토코페롤과 병용될 경우에는 어유의 유도기간이 약 7배 연장되었는데 이는 각 산화방지제의 개별적인 산화방지 효과 뿐만 아니라 산화방지제 사이의 상승효과에도 기인한 결과로 풀이된다.

  • This study was planned to investigate the effect of 40 plant ethanolic extracts on antioxidant activities in vitro. The total phenolics, $\beta$-carotene, $\alpha$-tocopherol and selenium contents were also determined . Antioxidant activities fo the ethanolic extracts(0.02%, w/w) in the soybean oil were measured both by determining the peroxide value (POV) during 35 days of storage at 4$0^{\circ}C$ in a forced draft air-incubator and by determining changes in conductivity at 11$0^{\circ}C$(Rancimat method.). Soybean oil without any additives was used as a control and that treated with 0.02% BHT was used as a positive control. Based on the POV determination, green tea extract was found to be the most effective in stabilizing soybean oil, then followed by long tea, which both of them showed higher antioxidant activities compared to the BHT treatment. The antioxidant activities of them showed higher antioxidant activities compared to the BHT treatment. the antioxidant activities of coffee, cinnamomi cortex, acanthopanacis cortex, black tea, orange peel , instant coffee, peony and crni fructus extracts were stronger compared to the control .By the Rancimat method, green tea leaf and oolong tea leaf, foxglove, acanthopanacis cortex and peony extracts. Compared to other extracts, green tea leaf, black tea leaf, foxglove, acanthopanacis cortex and peony extracts had stronger antioxidative effects in both the POV and Rancimat methods used in this study. ethanolic extracts which showed the stronger antioxidative effect also has the higher contents of total phenolics, $\beta$-carotene, and/or $\alpha$-tocopherol. The antioxidative effect of ethanolic extracts was found to be due to the combined effect of various antioxidants.

  • Many immunostimulating substances have been developed to improve immunity of domestic animals, although their exact mode of action and effects are not clearly defined, and they are now widely used in feed industry. Bacterial lipopolysaccharides, called endotoxin, in particular may have a profound effect not only on the immune system but also on macrophages of the reticuloendothelial system. Glucans from a variety of yeast cell wall have been shown to stimulate both specific and non-specific immune responses and to increase growth performance in pigs. Recently, there has been great interest in the role of complex carbohydrates in disease prevention and treatment. Mannanoligosaccharide is a glucomannoprotein complex derived from the cell wall of yeast. Generally, it was also known that the deficiencies of some major vitamins (vitamin A, E and C) and minerals (chromium and selenium) lead to impaired immune system and, as a result, immune function is depressed and recovery delayed. On the other hand, many researchers suggested that one possible reason for the superior performance observed in pigs fed plasma protein may be because of the presence of biologically active plasma proteins (e.g., immunoglobulins) which are known to contribute to the health of the starter pig. And, immunoglobulins present in plasma protein have been implicated as contributing to the overall immunocompetence of the newborn pig. Other immunostimulants, lactoferrin and lysozyme, mainly found in milk and egg white, have been known as having bacteriocidal and bacteriolytic effect. When considering practical use of immunostimulants, the concept of using immunostimulants is new to many people and, in most cases, it is poorly understood how and why such compounds act, and how they should be used in practice. Therefore, in order to clarify the reason for discrepancies in results, special attention should be paid to the dose/response relationship of immunostimulants and the duration of the effect.

  • 유기성 폐자원을 퇴비원료로서 재활용하는데 대한 규정에는 현재 유기물과 8종의 중금속 함량에 대한 기준만 있기 때문에 미량원소(붕소, 코발트, 몰리브덴 및 셀레늄) 및 유해 유기화합물(PAHs) 함량을 기준 항목으로 추가하기 위하여 전국 6 2개소에서 채취한 16종에 대한 성분분석을 실시한 결과는 다음과 같다. 붕소의 경우 피혁오니가 $154.2mg\;kg^{-1}$, 식품오니가 $57.1mg\;kg^{-1}$로 가장 높았고, 코발트는 공단지역 하수오니에서 $95.2mg\;kg^{-1}$, 대도시 하수오니에서 $22.9mg\;kg^{-1}$, 몰리브덴은 식품오니에서 $16.8mg\;kg^{-1}$, 대도시 하수오니에서 $40.1mg\;kg^{-1}$, 셀레늄은 섬유오니에서 $28.1mg\;kg^{-1}$, 피혁오니에서 $16.9mg\;kg^{-1}$ 그리고 식품오니에서 $15.9mg\;kg^{-1}$으로 가장 높았다. 유해 유기화합물 중 총 PAHs는 제지오니에서 $3,462ug\;kg^{-1}$로 가장 높았고, PAHs의 성분별 비교해 보면, naphthalene, phenanthrene, pyrene, fluoroanthene, anthracene 및 acenaphthene의 함량이 다른 화합물보다 현저히 높은 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 현재 우리나라에서 유기성자원의 퇴비원료로 활용에 대한 기준은 유기물함량과 중금속(8성분: Zn, Cu, Cr, Pb, Ni, Cd, As, Hg)으로 규제하고 있으나, 미량원소(B, Co, Mo, Se), 유해 유기화합물(PAHs)에 대한 보완연구를 통해 퇴비원료기준에 규제기준을 추가하여 선별체계를 확립한다면, 유기성 폐기물도 자원으로써 농업적인 재활용이 가능하다고 생각된다.

  • To improve the quality of environmental measurements and evaluation of the workplace air in the pigment manufacturing industries, we analyzed metal(chromium, cadmium, lead, iron, cobalt, manganese, antimony, titanium, arsenic, and selenium) concentrations by ICP-AES in sixty seven samples of inorganic bulk pigments which are produced and/or used in Korea. We also collected MSDS which has to be supplied by manufacturer and/or supplier and posted in the workplace according to the Hazard Communication Standards, and compared the number of metals listed in each MSDS with the number of metals determined by ICP-AES. Results were as followed; 1. Among seventeen yellowish-colored samples, chromium(2~19%) and lead(0.1~61%) were the two major metals. In thirteen reddish-colored samples, iron was the major component with 37~81%. Cobalt and manganese were detected in blue-colored samples with less than 1%, while antimony and titanium were the major two metals in white-colored pigments with 178~300 ppm and with 36~65%, respectively. 2. In area samples collected in workplace air(one pigments producing factory and five retailer stores), iron and manganese were detected but the concentrations not exceeded the TLVs(1 and $5mg/m^3$, respectively). In three of fifteen samples, the concentrations of lead exceeded the TLV ($0.05mg/m^3$). 3. Two out of seven companies provided MSDS, and the average provision rate was 22.4%. And the coincidence rate of the number of metals referenced in MSDS and determined by ICP-AES mostly accorded, but in one sample, different metal was detected from MSDS. In summary, metals have to be concerned in evaluation of the workplace air dealing with compounds of inorganic pigments dust are cobalt, chromium, iron, manganese, lead and antimony, and these are simultaneously determined by ICP-AES. Taking this opportunity, it is needed to reinforce that the personnel is to be concerned about prevention of workers' ill health regarding to provision of MSDS.
