In this study, asbestos in air during dismantlement and removal of slate roof tiles and asbestos that could linger in mask filter and safety wear were investigated. In addition, a wetting agent and its physical properties for water were studied, while the possibility of prevention of drift was assessed based on the properties. According to the analysis of 100 air samples, asbestos concentrations ranged from 0.001 to 0.007 f/cc and the average was 0.002 f/cc. The concentrations of asbestos in all the samples were below 0.01 f/cc, emission limit for asbestos-removal facilities. The use of a wetting agent and the use of water were compared to analyze asbestos concentration in air during asbestos removal. According to the analysis, asbestos concentration was 0.002 f/cc on average with wetting agents and the concentration was 0.003 f/cc when water was used. The surface tension of wetting agents showed 28.9 to 42.1 mN/m range and the average was 34.9 mN/ m. The surface tension of tap water showed 72.2 mN/m. Water-absorption time was from 16 seconds to 300 seconds for wetting agents and the agents showed a significant difference with one another. Surface area on the roof tiles was measured by instillation of its spread. For wetting agents, the range was from 31.2 to 64.7 cm2, with the average of 40.6 cm2 and all wetting agents showed larger areas than tap water. Drying rate was measured for the assessment of wetting. According to the measurement, the rate ranged from 0.094 to 0.144 min−1 and 0.110 min−1 was the average. It was found that the drying rate of tap water was bigger than those of all the wetting agents, but some wetting agents did not show a big difference.

There are some problems of lacking the information on the safety of cement products and for determining harmfulness due to differences in the concentrations of heavy metals according to organizations. Thus, the harmfulness of heavy metals in cement products has been monitored by one time per month since August 2008 and the results have also been noticed for every month. In this study, the concentrations of seven different heavy metals (Cr(Ⅵ), T-Cr, Cd, Cu, Pb, As, and Hg) in cement products collected from 11 factories of 9 manufacturers are verified for every month and changes in the concentrations are also compared with the cement products of Japan, Germany, USA, and China. The company, HO, in domestic companies represents the highest values in four items and AJ shows the next high values. Thus, regarding these two manufacturers, it is necessary to take an effort for reducing the concentrations of five heavy metals through considering the major and alternative raw materials for producing their cement products. the chrome conversion rates in domestic cement products are about 36.4 % and that exhibits higher rates about 16.0 % and 8.3 %, 2.3 and 4.3 times, than that of Japan and USA, respectively.

알바이트 분말시료, 박편시료, TEM 시편용 시료를 이용하여 광학현미경 상에서 등온가열 실험을 수행하였다. 시료의 방향성은 광학현미경 및 XRD를 통하여 점검하였으며 TEM의 전자회절도형을 통해 확인하였다. 분말시료의 경우 1030℃-12 hr에서, TEM 시편용 시료는 1060℃-6 hr에서 부분 용융이 일어나며 이 이상의 온도에서는 용융으로 인한 시편두께 증가 및 비정질상으로의 변화로 인하여 알바이트 미세구조의 TEM 영상 획득이 어려웠다. 광학현미경과 TEM의 연계를 통한 알바이트 등온가열 실험 결과 알바이트 tweed 미세구조의 TEM 영상을 얻을 수 있는 최적 조건은 대기압 하에서는 1050℃-12 hr로 파악되었다. 전자현미경 내 직접가열(in situ TEM heating) 실험의 경우 상기한 실험조건에 비해 고진공 상태임을 고려하면 1050℃보다 다소 높은 온도에서 알바이트 tweed 미세구조를 직접 관찰할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다

무등산지역에서 산출되는 화산암은 화순안산암, 무등산데사이트, 도곡유문암으로 구성되며 이들 화산암류는 공통적으로 사장석 반정을 포함하고 있다. 광학현미경 하에서 관찰된 사장석의 반복 쌍정 중 대부분은 알바이트 쌍정이며 일부가 페리클라인 쌍정을 보인다. 사장석들은 EPMA 분석 결과 화순안산암은 Ca 함량이 많은 안데신에, 무등산데사이트는 안데신에서 을리고클레이스에, 그리고 도곡유문암은 거의 순수한 알바이트에 해당한다. 광학현미경 하에서 판단이 어려운 알바이트와 페리클라인 쌍정은 전자현미경의 회절도형에서 쉽게 구분할 수 있다. 연구지역의 화산암에서 산출되는 사장석은 중간조성의 사장석이지만 빠른 냉각속도에 의해 생성되었기 때문에 상분리가 일어나지 않아[100] 방향의 전자회절도형에서 e-reflection이 나타나지 않는 것으로 사료된다.
