Sodium azide (SA) is commonly used as propellant for inflating automatic safety bags and other chemical manufacturing purposes. The investigation of potentially thermal hazard of sodium azide and its mixture with polymers are very important because it can occur an expected traffic accident so we took a experiment s using different scanning calorimeter (DSC) in nitrogen atmosphere. The decomposition temperature were about $350{\sim}450^{\circ}C$. We could find not only exothermic reaction was remarkably decreased in mixture s of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC), but also increasing mixed rate of ABS, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) decreased thermal decomposition heat.

Some of accidents are based on unstable chemical substances. These chemicals are easily decomposed or Ignited by heats or mechanical shocks like sodium azide. Sodium azide is commonly used as propellant for inflating automotive safety bags and the other chemical manufacturing purposes. The investigation of thermal hazard potential of sodium azide is very important because unexpected traffic accident can be occureed. The experiments were carried out by DSC, TG an ARC in air, oxygen, argon and nitrogen atmosphere. The decomposition temperatures were about $410^{\circ}C$~$420^{\circ}C$ by DSC and $330^{\circ}C$~$370^{\circ}C$ by ARC, this is very significant result for treatment of chemical. The heats of decomposition were about 81 kcal/mol in ai. and 10 kcal/mol in other atmosphere.

Salmonellosis is a major bacterial zoonosis that causes self-limited enteritis to fatal infection in animals and food-borne infection and typhoid fever in humans. Multidrug-resistant strains of Salmonella spp. has increased over the last several decades and recently causes more serious problems in public health. The present study was investigated bacteriocidal effects of sodium chlorate, sodium azide, sodium cyanide, and sodium salts mixture containing sodium chlorate, sodium azide, and sodium cyanide on infection with S. typhimurium in macrophage RAW 264.7 cells, and antibacterial effects of sodium salts mixture for murine salmonellosis. In infection assay of S. typhimurium in RAW 264.7 cells, bacterial survival rates within macrophage in all treated groups was significantly reduced comparing to that of the control group with the passage of incubation time. Administration of sodium salts mixture showed a therapeutic effect for S. typhimurium infected ICR mice. The mortality of mice treated with sodium salts mixture was 70% until 12 days, while that of control mice was 100% until 9 days after S. typhimurium infection. The results of this study strongly indicate that sodium salts mixture has a potency treatment for murine salmonellosis.

We investigated the effect of antioxidants (ascorbate, glutathione, and sodium azide), which efEectively inhibited the chlorophyll bleaching of Panax ginseng CA Meyer under the high light intensity, treated by folilar wiping on the early stage of photosynthesis and transpiration of ginseng in the 5000 $\mu$mol photon.$m^{-2}$.$s^{-1}$. Ascorbate and glutathione, endogenous antioxidant, completely recovered ginseng from the photoinhibition, but sodium azide, synthetic quencher, showed negative effect. We assumed that endogenous antioxidants could be available to the protection of the leaf-burning phenomenon of ginseng.

A rapid and selective copper-catalyzed amination of aryl halides with sodium azide was established by using 10 mol % of CuI, and 20 mol % of N,N'-dimethylethylenediamine in DMSO under microwave irradiation for 10 min. The catalytic system with 4-substituted aryl iodides was found to be the most effective leading to a nearly complete conversion.

The reaction of o-acylthiophenacyl chloride 5a with onc equivalent ofsodium azide in aqueous acetone at-10~ $-5^{\circ}C$ gave 2,9-dimethyl-6H,I3H-dibenzo[d,i][1,6]dithiecin-7,14-dione 7(10%),acyclic dimer 8(64%),and tri-mer 9 (8%). Dimer 8 and trimer 9 we re converted readily to 7 under the similar conditions at room temperature in yields of 72% and 53%,respectivel. Also, one pot synthesis of 7 (64%, 45%) from the reaction of 5a or 5b with two equivalents of sodium azide at room temperature was very successful.

The inhibitory effects of methanol, ethanol, chloroform/ methanol and water extracts from natural and cultural yams on the mutagenicity in the cooked pork (broiled and panfried) and the chemically induced mutagen, sodium azide, benzo(a)pyrene and 2-aminofluorene were investigated using salmolla typhimurium TA 100. In the presence of the S9 mixture, ethanol extract from natural yam showed high inhibitory effect on the mutagenicity of the cooked pork. But benzo(a)pyrene, supposed to be produced in mutagen during cooking, did not show high inhibitory effect in same extract. Besids, the yam extract on the mutagenicity of the sodium azide without S9 mixture showed low inhibitory effect. However 2-aminoflourene with S9 mixture showed high inhibitory effect, 91.5％.

Coenzyme $Q_{10}$ ($CoQ_{10}$) production from Rhizobium radiobacter T6102 was monitored under various oxygen supply conditions by controlling the agitation speeds, aeration rates, and dissolved oxygen levels. As the results, the $CoQ_{10}$ production was enhanced by limited oxygen supply. To investigate whether the $CoQ_{10}$ production is associated with its physiological functions of electron carrier and antioxidant, the effects of sodium azide and hydrogen peroxide on the $CoQ_{10}$ production were studied, showing that the $CoQ_{10}$ contents were slightly enhanced with increasing sodium azide (up to 0.4 mM) and hydrogen peroxide (up to $10\;{\mu}M$) concentrations. These results suggest the plausible mechanism where the limited electron transfer stimulating the environments of limited oxygen supply and oxidative stress could accumulate the $CoQ_{10}$, providing the relationship between the $CoQ_{10}$ physiological functions and its regulation system.

Rice consumption per capta, in South Korea, has been decreased dramatically, owing to the changes of living patterns. Because of not only the major energy source of Korean people but also major income source of Korean farmers, diversifying end-use-quality of rice has been demanded. To the context, 'Suweon 472', a high yielding and early mature japonica line and released as 'Namilbyeo' to framers in 2002, was treated with a chemical mutagen, Sodium Azide to find endosperm mutant types. A total of nine endosperm mutat lines, including five waxy, one dull, two floury, and one white core type, were identified from the 3,542 mutatagen treated lines. Amylose contents, iodine reaction, disintegration in alkali solution, gelatinization in urea solution and amylogram properties of those nine endosperm mutant lines were evaluated to address the possibility as new genetic materials for diversifying rice quality of Korean japonica cultivars. All embryo mutants were clearly differentiated from their wild type, 'Suweon 472', in terms of physic-chemical properties evaluated. The endosperm mutant lines would be very useful in expanding untiliztation of rice through opening new rice markets of processed foods from Korean japonica rice.

Neocaridina denticulata is a small freshwater shrimp indigenous to Korea. As an indigenous species has long-adapted to particular water environments, the species can be a suitable indicator to assess environmental risks caused by hazard chemicals in the particular site. Thus Neocaridina denticulata, a small freshwater shrimp indigenous to Korea, is worth considering for a test species for such purpose. N. denticulata were exposed to pentachlorophenol sodium salt, sodium azide and potassium dichromate using automatic flow-through system for 96 hours. The 96 hr lethal concentrations ($LC_{50}$) of these chemicals were calculated as $0.53{\pm}0.09\;mg/L$, $2.40{\pm}0.61\;mg/L$ and $1.21{\pm}0.09\;mg/L$ respectively and showed relatively small deviation from repetitive test results. When compared with the toxicity values of other species for each chemical, N. denticulata had moderate or high sensitivity to the toxicity of these chemicals. It can be concluded that N. denticulata is a good test species to evaluate acute toxicity of various hazardous chemicals.
