This study was performed to investigate the remainity of synthetic surfactant (LAS) by HPLC and the microbial contamination on stainless steel dishes. For the maintenance and the improvement of school lunch program's safety, the remainity of synthetic surfactants (LAS) on stainless steel dishes washed with auto dishwasher was investigated by HPLC, and the microbial contamination on same dishes was surveyed. The results were as follows: (1) The remainity of synthetic surfactant (LAS) a) The residue of LAS was very small because of the repeated washing of dishes by strong pressurized water. b) The remainity range of LAS on stainless steel dishes was 2.1~7.2 $\mu\textrm{g}$/dish. The remainity of general surfactants was higher in cold water then warm water. The amount of residual general surfatants was 5.95 $\mu\textrm{g}$/dish in cold water, and 2.95 $\mu\textrm{g}$/dish in warm water. There was no difference of the remainity of special surfactants by water temperature. The amount of residual surfactants was 3.9 $\mu\textrm{g}$/dish. c) There was no difference of residue amount by washing times. (2) The microbial contamination after washing with general surfactants. 1) The mean MPN of E. coli was 203(53~345) on 1 hr, 19(6~28) on 2 hrs, in cold water, and 1100(only 1 dish of 1 school) on 1 hr, 24(6~42) on 2hrs. 2) After washing with general surgactants the mean of contamination by general microbials was 956(25~2300)on 1 hr, 694(45~2500) on 2 hrs. in cold water and 803(5~2300) on 1 hr, 671(5~2500)on 2 hrs. After washing with special surfactants the mean of contamination by general microbials was 788(136~2900) on 1 hr, 1122(15~3000) on 2 hrs, in cold water and 537(5~2000) on 1 hr, 88(15~150) on 2 hrs in warm water. (3) Like the results of this study, the good washing methods of stainless steel dishes for school luch program were as follows. First, for washing stainless steel dishes, the use of special surfactants was recommended at 30~4$0^{\circ}C$ water. Second, at 7$0^{\circ}C$ water, the rinsing of dishes was recommended. Third, the final rinsing at 8$0^{\circ}C$ combined with simple disinfection and dry was recommended.

Recently, concerns of water pollution and health risks caused by synthetic detergents have emerged, as the use of various detergents has increased It has been suggested that some surfactants are cocarcinogens. The surfactants tested were linear alkylbenzene sulfonate, sodium lauryl sulfate, polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleat (tween 80), and the mutagens were 1-nitropyrene, N -methyl- N'-nitro-N -nitrosoguanidine, benzo (a) pyrene, and aflatoxin B$_1$. This study was undertaken to investigate the effects of surfactants on the activity of mytagens using the Ames mutagenic assay with Salmonella typhimurium TA98, TA100. The results were summarized as follows: 1. The surfactants have no mutagenic activity of themselves. 2. Higher doses of surfactants than 100 $\mu\textrm{g}$/plate reduced the number of revertants. It is assumed that the reduction would inhibited cell growth. 3. When the comutagenic ratio is defined as the ratio between mutagenic activity itself and the activity with mutagen and surfactant (drinking water quality standard), LAS showed the comutagenic ratio 0.86-1.17 and SLS 0.74-1.10 as well. According to the comparisons, it could not be recognised for the comutagenicity of drinking water quality standard of surfactant. 4. As increasing the amount of mutagens, the designated amount of surfactant did not affected the mutagen's activity statistically. From the above result, syunthetic surfactants do not present mutagenicity and comutagenicity in the microbial assay.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of wastewater treatment containing surfactant. For that, comparative analysis of effectiveness of Featon Oxidation, Aluminum Sulfate, PAC (Poly Aluminum Chloride) on the treatment of the synthetic wastewater containing LAS (Linear Alkyl Sulfate), a main component of the commercial detergent was carried. Then, the optimum pH, the dosage of reagents, and the concentration of the LAS in each treatment were determined. The results of the study were summarized as following. 1. In Fenton Oxidation, optimal pH was 3 and 97.92% removal of LAS was achieved. However, the increase of the pH reduced the efficiency of LAS removal. The proper chemical dosages of FeSO$_4$ and $H_2O_2$ were 300 mg/l and the increase of dosages didn't affected the removal efficiency. Therefore, it was concluded that the economic chemical dosage was 300 mg/l of FeSO$_4$ and $H_2O_2$. 2. In case of Alum treatment, optimal pH was 11 with 61.13% removal efficiency. At other pH range, the removal efficiency was very low indicating that removal efficiency is greatly influenced by pH. The proper chemical dosage was 200 mg/l with the removal efficiency of 77.65%. The increase of chemical dosage, however, reduced the removal efficiency. 3. In case of using PAC, optimal pH was 6 with 97.99% removal efficiency. The result showed that wastewaters containing surfactant were almost completely removed at pH 6 by PAC. Removal efficiency was decreased by increasing PAC dosage higher than 400 mg/l and dosage over 700 mg/l of PAC abolished the treatment. 4. The comparative analysis of three methods revealed that the effective pH ranges were at pH 2-5 with Fenton oxidation, at pH 6-11 with PAC, and pH 11 with Alum. The removal efficiencies at these pH were 83.95-97.92%, 75.98-97.99% and 61.13%, respectively. 5. Increase in LAS concentration reduced the removal efficiencies of all three methods. In the case of PAC or Alum treatment, treatment abolished at LAS concentration higher than 700 mg/l.

According to increase of using quantity, people interested in the environmental influence by synthetic detergent. The main visible form when synthetic detergent dissolved in water is generating foams. This foam makes coating over water surface and prevents oxygen penetrating in water and make water more polluted with that result. To analyze, components and origins of the foam, and to make clear its environmental influence in this study. The analyzing objects are introducing water of sewage treatment plant from the a tributary to the Han River. After analysis, reached the conclusion like below, Analyzing foams and introducing water by sublation method, average return rate of standard LAS (1.0ppm) is 90%. LAS contents of foams analyzed by UV photometric method and HPLC method are 35.0ppm and 44.5ppm each, and AOS contents of foams analyzed by the same method are 0.6ppm and 0.4ppm each. We can find out by this study's analyzing results that the main components of foams are anion surfactant, it's content and in case of capric acid linoleic acid, it's contents.

Each detergent-solution in the concentration of 0.4% was prepared with four kinds of raw materials of detergents and two kinds of commercial surfactants for kitchen. LAS (Linear Alkyl Benzene Sulfonate), AOS ($\alpha$-O1effine Sulfonate), SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfonate) and SLE (Sodium Lauryl Ester Sulfonate) were used as the raw materials. Vegetables and fruits such as cucumber, crown daisy, lettuce, strawberry and tomatos were diped in each solution and washed 5 times in static or flow state. For the other experiments, tablewares such as porcelain, stainless bowls, glass and plastic cups were diped in each solution and washed also 5 times with cold and hot water in static or flow state. The residues of the detergents on the every steps of wash-conditions were measured. The results of this study were summarized as followings: 1. The residures of the detergents on the tested vegetables and fruits after 5 times washing were detected with the range from 0.450 to 7.120 ppm in static state and from 0.343 to 6.375 ppm in flow state. 2. The residures of the detergents on the tested tablewares after 5 times washing with cold water were observed with the range from 0.057 to 0.815 ppm in static state and from 0.066 to 0.905 ppm in flow state. 4. The residures of the detergents on the tested tablewares after 5 times washing with hot water were determined with the range from 0.061 to 0.424 ppm in static state and from 0.066 to 0.368 ppm in flow state. 4. Independent on detergent types, water temperatures and washing methods, the detergents were remained stablely on the porcelain; 0.057~0.815 ppm, on the stainless bowl; 0.061~0.905 ppm, on the glass cup; 0.0l4~0.592 ppm and on the plastic cup; 0.201~0.592 ppm.

본 연구는 자연 식물 (미나리)을 이용하여 세제로 오염된 물에서의 정화 효과를 알아보고자 수행되었다. 세제로는 계면활성제 표준액 (linear alkylbenzene sulfonate, LAS)과 주방용 세제 3종을 사용하였으며, 이를 농도별 또는 세제 별로 첨가한 수조에 야생의 미나리를 수경 재배하면서 식물체의 성장과 자정 능력을 경시적으로 관찰하였다. 식물체의 성장 변화에 있어서 미나리의 생체 중량은 배양 2일 후부터 유의하게 감소하였으며 (p<0.05) 대조군에 비하여 세제의 농도가 높을수록 감소의 정도가 컸고 시간이 경과할수록 더욱 위축되었다. 미나리 배양액의 pH는 초기의 중성에서 4일 후까지 유의하게 감소하였다가 (p<0.05) 6일 후에는 다시 증가 경향을 보였다. 그러나 초기 수준으로 회복되지는 못하였다. LAS표준액을 사용한 배양액에서는 다른 세제들보다 초기에 산성의 경향이 짙게 나타났으나 6일 후에 현저히 pH가 증가하여 18일 후에 다른 세제배양액과 비슷하게 중성에 가까워졌다 (p<0.01).배양액의 화학적 산소요구량 (COD)은 2일 후부터 증가되었으며 4일 후에도 계속 증가하다가 6일 후에 감소 경향을 보였다. 그리고 12일 후부터는 감소 또는 증가하는 등 일정한 경향을 볼 수 없었다. 배양액에 잔류된 세제는 농도별 실험에서는 배양 2일 후에 매우 유의하게 감소하였으며 (p<0.01) 이후에는 완만한 감소를 보여 6일 후에는 초기의 12.4∼23.7%만이 잔류하였다. 세제별 실험에서는 6일 후에 세제가 초기의 22.4∼34.2%가 잔류하여 매우 유의한 감소를 보였으며 (p< 0.01)이 후에는 이 수준을 유지하였다. 미나리가 비교적 양호하게 성장한 6일 동안의 세제의 감소 효과가 현저하며, 이후 시간이 경과함에 따라 그 효율은 계속 낮아졌다. 이로부터 미나리는 세제로 오염된 물을 수일 정도의 빠른 시간에 정화하는 것이 인정되며, 그 정화 능력은 물의 오염 정도나 생육 환경여건에 따라 달라질 수 있는 것으로 보여진다.
