In the developed NMR hyperpolarization techniques, Signal amplification by reversible exchange (SABRE) technique is thought to be a promising method to overcome the low sensitivity of bio-NMR/MRI. Most experiments using SABRE have been done in methanol, which is biologically harmful solvent. Therefore, more biological friendly solvent, such as ethanol can be more appropriate solvent to be applicable in bio-NMR and MRI. As the proof of concept, successful hyperpolarization on pyridine via SABRE is carried out in ethanol and its enhancement factor is calculated to be more than 150 folds. To investigate more about its possibility of hyperpolarization in different alcohol solvents, methanol and propanol are used for SABRE in the same condition. The overall polarization trend in different external magnetic field is similar but its polarization number is decreased with higher molecular weight solvents (the order from methanol to propanol). This result indicates that the efficiency of SABRE is different from solvent system despite its same functional group and similar properties. Higher para-hydrogen concentration, higher partial pressure of para-hydrogen, and deuterated solvent can increase the hyperpolarization in any solvents. With these series of successful SABRE results, future studies on SABRE in more biofriendly environment, on more various solvent systems, and with more substrates are needed and it will be the firm basis for applying the SABRE system on the future bio-NMR/MRI.

Hazardous organic solvents management as prescribed by presidential decree in Korea is reviewed. The status of import, manufacture, and circulation of organic solvents was investigated. Problems inherent in the management of organic solvents in the electroplating, metal degreasing, and dry cleaning industries were discussed. The chemical substance management system in Korea was compared to those of foreign organizations. A walk-through check list was developed and then used to assess the actual conditions and potential hazards of chemical substances in these industries. The questionnaire could be used to develop a chemical management system and protect workers from hazardous substances. Based on the results of the site survey, MSDSs were not integrated appropriately into the workers education and were not readily accessible to employees. In the case of the dry cleaning industry, the new dry cleaning solvent used as a substitute includes a lot of potentially hazardous organic solvents. This research is preliminary. It is recommended that a national survey be performed to better identify the current situation. Because chemical substances are regulated by thirteen laws in seven executive branches, management systems often overlap, resulting in ineffective control. Using the above results, a model for managing chemical substances was developed. This will more efficiently provide MSDS information to workers covered by the presidential decree and allow the construction of a management system database for better cooperation with the executive branches in Korea.

물-메탄올, 물-에탄올, 물-아세트니틜, 물-아세톤 및 아세트니트릴-메탄올의 2성분 혼합용매에서 2-염화테노일 및 2-염화퓨로일의 가용매분해 반응을 속도론적으로 연구하였다. 반응 속도는 반양성자성 용매에서 보다 양성자성 용매에서 더 빨랐으며 이것은 양성자성용매의 수소결합능력이 이탈기의 결합의 파괴를 돕기 때문이다. 그러나 아세트니트릴-메탄올 혼합용매에서는 특수용매화가 일어나며, 메탄올 몰분율 0.8부근에서 최대속도를 나타낸다. 또한 이 반응은 염화벤조일보다 느리며 그 속도 순서는 염화벤조일 > 2-염화테노일 > 2-염화퓨로일이며 이 중에서 퓨란고리의 전자흡인성이 제일 강함으로 전이상태에서 결합의 파괴가 어려워져서 반응속도가 늦어지는 것이다. 반응메카니즘은 전이상태에서 결합의 파괴가 결합의 형성보다 많이 진행된 dissociative $S_N2$ 반응이기는 하나 2-염화테노일은 물 함량이 많은 부분에서는 $S_N1$ 성겨기 꽤 크고 $S_N2$ 성격이 약화된다.

Due to the development and expansion of industries and medical standards, the number of workers who handle organic solvents within hospitals is increasing. The authors in this study intended to investigate the actual conditions of the handling of the solvents and to encourage the recognition that the exposure to such solvents may be possible because of insensitivity to safety. In order to investigate the actual conditions of exposure of workers within hospitals, the experimental group included the three sections (Pathology department, Central Supply Room, and Operating Room), which handle organic solvents most frequently. Meanwhile, university interns were selected to be the control group. This study was conducted between May 1 to May 30, 2007, and urine was taken as samples. Hippuric acid, mandelic acid, methylhippuric acid, and phenylglyoxylic acid were analyzed through gas chromatography, and a total of 52 subjects of the experimental and the control groups were performed of the analysis. As for the results of the analysis of the experimental group, the exposure to benzene was $42.27{\pm}3.70mg/g$ creatinine, that of xylene was $1.30{\pm}0.18g/g$ creatinine, and that of toluene was $2.36{\pm}0.24g/g$ creatinine. Meanwhile, the results of the analysis of the control group showed that the exposure to benzene was $15.54{\pm}2.85mg/g$ creatinine, that of xylene was $0.52{\pm}0.02g/g$ creatinine, and that of toluene was $0.85{\pm}0.20g/g$ creatinine. The amount of exposure to benzene, xylene, and toluene was shown to be under the maximum permitted level, but as for Pathology department, it was required to educate on working conditions, to educate workers on prevention management about their health, and to install fume hood and exhaust system to improve the environments.

In this study, coffee waste was extracted with different solvents such as ethyl acetate, methylene chloride and methanol to investigate the total polyphenol contents, electron donating ability and the inhibitory effect on glutathione S-transferase. The total polyphenol contents were $3,060.61{\pm}357.12{\mu}g\;GAE/mL$ in ethyl acetate, $909.09{\pm}35.71{\mu}g\;GAE/mL$ in methylene chloride, and $1,602.27{\pm}30.36{\mu}g\;GAE/mL$ in methanol. The total polyphenol contents showed a significant difference (p<0.05) between the solvents. The electron donating ability was $80.20{\pm}1.45%$ for ethyl acetate, $81.94{\pm}0.45%$ for methylene chloride, and $85.14{\pm}1.53%$ for methanol. The electron donating abilities were significantly different (p<0.05) between the solvents. The inhibitory effect of the various extracts on glutathione S-transferase (% inhibition) was $92.12{\pm}0.56%$, $88.48{\pm}0245%$ with methylene chloride extract, and $90.85{\pm}0.14%$ with methanol extract. These too were significant different (p<0.05) between the solvents. The two portions of coffee waste extracts obtained from ethyl acetate and methanol showed meaningful results on the total polyphenol contents, and the inhibition effects on glutathione S-transferase. Therefore, they can be utilized to develop health care foods and can be applied as antioxidants for cosmeceuticals.

This study was conducted to identify the current status of occupational safety and health by checklist and to evaluate the airborne exposure to chemicals and to provide the appropriate recommendation for safety and health of laundries. A total of 20 laundries located in tile Gyungi district area were surveyed from July 20 to September 15, 2000. The prevalence of laundries having a stove and gas range were found to be 25 % and 55 %, respectively. Smoking is not allowed in 60 % of the laundries. Only 10 % of dry-cleaners were isolated. Ventilation systems in laundries had not been annually inspected. Most of the workers didn't put on respirators, MSDS were not available, and storage bottles did not contain warning labels. The bulk samples of dry cleaning agent include many chemicals that are not controlled by the MOL in Korea. The detected airborne organic solvents in the laundries were benzene, toluene, p-xylene, m-xylene, o-xylene, perchloroethylene, and 2-butoxy ethanol. The airborne concentrations of organic solvents were much less than the occupational exposure limits proposed by the Ministry of Labor(MOL) in Korea. But the concentrations of benzene exceeded the TLV of ACGIH. This study showed that the current status of occupational safety and health was not appropriate for workers in laundries. It is recommended that laundry workers should be educated for the treatment and storage of hazardous organic solvents to improve the occupational safety and health of the working environment as well as MSDS usage. Also, extended research and survey for the organic solvents that are not controlled by the MOL has to be conducted.

본 연구에서는 유기농업자재 중 잔류 휘발성 유기용매의 정성 및 정량분석을 위해 Headspace-GC 분석법을 matrix 조성을 달리하여 검출능을 중심으로 시험하였다. Headspace sampler내 흡습제처리 혹은 DMSO molar ratio를 증가시키는 방법을 통해 친수성기를 갖는 유기용매의 분석능이 최대 715% 향상되었으며, 특히 농자재의 보조제로 많이 사용되는 계면활성제의 경우 시료 중 농도가 계면활성제의 종류보다 유기용매 분석능에 미치는 영향이 큰 것을 확인할 수 있었다(68.5-179.1%). 특히 병해충 관리용 유기농업자재의 보조성분 및 함량이 정확히 공개되지 않은 상황에서 유기용매의 함량 정량분석을 위해서는 각각의 분석시료마다 matrix-matched calibration을 통한 정량 분석으로의 접근이 검토되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

The purpose of this study is to examine the health of beauty salon workers through the utilization of questionnaires concerning the extent of exposure to organic solvents found in the air of some beauty salons and any resultant symptoms in employees. The subjects were 36 employees from 10 beauty salons who agreed to participate in this study. The degree of exposure to organic solvents in the air of beauty salons was measured from September 1, 2008 to September 30, 2008. A survey of symptoms that occurred due to exposure to these solvents was also performed. The results were as follows: questionnaires were collected and analyzed from a total of 36 subjects. Of these, 28(77.8%) were female and 8(22.2%) were male. The mean age was 29.08. The mean working period was 7.13 years. Sixteen subjects attended programs at universities while 11 went to beauty schools for vocational education. When testing the concentration of organic solvents in the air of beauty salons, the highest value found was Isopropyl alcohol 511.85 ppb followed by butyl acetate, toluene, acetone, xylene, ethyl benzene, styrene, and chlorobenzene. A logistic regression analysis was performed as follows: the point of each factor was the dependent variable while sex, age, drinking, smoking, educational level, work experience, hairdresser's license, and organic solvents were the independent variables. Statistically significant difference (p<0.05) was shown in the hairdresser's license among Factor 1 and in Xylene among Factor 2; however, difference was not shown in the other variables.

Organic solvents are widely used in biotransformation systems. There are many efforts to reduce the consumption of organic solvents because of their toxicity to the environment and human health. In recent years, several groups have started to explore novel organic solvents called room temperature ionic liquids in order to substitute conventional organic solvents. In this work, lipase-catalyzed transesterification in several uni- and bi-phasic systems was studied. Two representative hydrophobic ionic liquids based on 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolum coupled with hexafluorophosphate ([BMIM][$PF_6$]) and bis[{trifluoromethylsulfonyl} imide] ([BMIM] [$Tf_{2}N$]) were employed as reaction media for the transesterification of n-butanol. The commercial lipase, Novozym 435, was used for the transesterification reaction with vinyl acetate as an acyl donor. The conversion yield was increased around $10\%$ in a water/[BMIM][$Tf_{2}N$] bi-phasic system compared with that in a water/hexane system. A higher distribution of substrates into the water phase is believed to enhance the conversion yield in a water/[BMIM][$Tf_{2}N$] system. Partition coefficients of the substrates in the water/[BMIM][$Tf_{2}N$] bi-phasic system were higher than three times that found in the water/hexane system, while n-butyl acetate showed a similar distribution in both systems. Thus, RTILs appear to be a promising substitute of organic solvents in some biotransformation systems.
