This project studies marine Vibrio vulnificus in oysters in the marine environment and attempts to correlate this bacteria`s presence within various environmental parameters; we design this study to determine how different storage temperatures affect the survival of V. vulnificus in oysters and whether V. vulnificus is able to persist in oysters after exposure to UV light-disinfected seawater. Experimental depuration systems consist of aquaria containing temperature-controlled seawater treated with UV light and 0.2 ㎛ pore size filtration. Results showed that depuration at temperatures higher than 25℃ caused V. vulnificus counts to increase in oysters. Throughout the process, depuration water contained high concentrations of V. vulnificus, indicating that the disinfection properties of UV radiation and 0.2 ㎛ pore size filtration were less than the release of V. vulnificus into seawater. In contrast, when depuration seawater was maintained at 10℃, the numbers of V. vulnifcus were very little and multiplication in oysters was inhibited.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of environmental factors such as temperature, salinity, pH, and UV light on the survival of life-threatening Vibrio vulnificus. In the temperature range of 15 to 25℃, the numbers of V. vulnificus increased during the 6-day incubation, but outside this range, the survival of V. vulnificus was poor. Incubation between 1 and 10℃ showed that V. vulnificus survived poorly below 10℃. At salinities between 5 and 25ppt, the numbers of V. vulnificus increased or remained unchanged for 6-day. At salinities above this range, the numbers of V. vulnificus decreased. The optimal pH range was 6.5 to 8.0 and outside this range, the survival ratio of V. vulnificus was small. At 15 and 25℃, UV radiation was bactericidal for cultures of V. vulnificus. The counts of V. vulnificus were reduced approximately 10,000-fold after 2h of UV light treatment at both temperatures. Above results showed that environmental factors were effective on the survival of V. vulnificus in the environment.

In aqueous acid solution [Cr(CN)_6]^3- aquates via a series of stepwise stereospecific reactions to give [Cr(H_2O)_6]^3+ as the final product.Some of the intermediate cyanoaquo complexes in the sequence have been isolated.These complexes aquate by both acid independent and acid denpendent pathways,the latter involving protonation of the cyano ligands followed by aquation of the singly protonated species. The kinetic data for the aquation of [CrCN(H_2O)_5]^2+ are consistent with the transition state structure, [(H_2O)_4Cr(CN)-OH-Cr(H_2O)_5]^3+.Addition of Cr^2+ to solutions of cyanocobalt(III) complexes produces the metastable intermediate[CrNC(H_2O]^2)+.This isomerizes to in a Cr^2+ -catalyzed reaction which occurs by a ligand-bridged electron-change mechnism. From acid catalysis on these aquation reactions, it product HCN. Especially, HSO_3 ions do the role of catalyst in the formation of HCN from CrCN^3+.

This study was performed to evaluate the contents of heavy metals in water, sediment and soil of the 7 different sampling points along the West Nakdong river. The results were as follows: the concentrations of Zn, P, Pb, Cd, Mn, Cu and As in the sediment were 197.48, 551.85, 67.01, 2.54, 491.39, 42.95 and 10.52ppm,respectively. The concentrations of Zn, F, Pb, Cd, Mn, Cu and As in the soil was 83.32, 482.89, 17.15, 1.02, 226.02, 26.15 and 7.29ppm, respectively, The concentration ratios of heavy metals in the water to the sediment were 593 - 12700 (Cd >> Cu > Zn > Mn > As > Pb) and that of the water to the soil were 152 - 5100 (Cu > Cd > Zn > Mn > As >Pb). The correlation coefficients of Cu and Pb were high among the water, sediment and soil. Because the accumulation amounts of heavy metal in the sediment were high, the concentration of heavy metals in the sediment was higher than in soil. The correlation coefficient of heavy metals among water, sediment and soil was high (0.79 - 0.95).

This study was performed at Sa-Sang Industrial area in Pusan City. To measure the total suspended particulates(T.S.P) and SO_3 following places was selected industrial area, down town, residentail area. T.S.P was collected on glass filters by High-Volume Air Sampler, SO_3 was measured by PbO_2 candle method The collected T.S.P was analyzed for various anion(for example, NO_3, SO_4, PO_4, F, Cl) by Ion Chromatography, and Pb by Inductively Coupled Plasma.

The concentration of Total Suspended Particulates(T.S.P), size distribution of suspended particulates, and soluble anions of T.S.P in atmosphere of industrial region in Busan were investigated. T.S.P was measured by High-Volume Air Sampler and particle size distribution was measured by Andersen Air Sampler. We analyzed the chemical component of the T.S.P by Ion Chromatography and measured the shape and size of T.S.P by Scanning Electron Micrography. The small size of T.S.P mainly exist in industrial region, but the large size of T.S.P mainly exist in residentail area.
