A ventilation system comprising a dielectric barrier discharger and UV‐TiO2 photocatalyst filters was designed and tested for simultaneous removal of gaseous and particulate contaminants in a test chamber. The DBD was used as the 1st stage of ESP for particle charging and gas decomposition. Charged particles were collected in the 2nd stage of ESP by an applied DC electric field. The UV‐TiO2 photocatalyst filters were used for decomposing gaseous species including O3 which was inherently produced by the DBD. Particle removal efficiencies based on mass and number were approximately 83.0% and 88.8%, respectively, after the ventilation system was operating for 5 hours. HCHO removal efficiency was approximately 100% for 1∼5ppm of upstream concentration condition. TVOC removal efficiency was 99.0% and 99.6% for 1 ppm and 5 ppm of upstream concentration conditions, respectively.

본 연구에서 우리는 유기자외선차단제와 왁스를 함유하고 Tween 80과 Span 80의 혼합계면활성제를 이용한 o/w 나노에멀젼에서 자외선 흡광도의 상승에 대해 연구하였다. Tween 80/Span 80 유화시스템에서 칸데릴라 왁스를 함유하고 PIC (Phase Inversion Composition) 방법으로 제조된 나노에멀젼의 입자는 50 nm 이하였다. Tween 80/Span 80/칸데릴라 왁스/유기자외선차단제의 농도를 4.5:0.5/3.0/2.0 wt%로 고정하고 다양한 유기자외선차단제를 각각 첨가하여 에멀젼을 제조한 결과, Parsol MCX와 Escalol 587에서 안정한 나노에멀젼이 형성되었다. 또한 동일 시스템에서 Parsol MCX와 칸데릴라 왁스의 비율은 2.0 미만일 때 안정한 나노에멀젼이 형성되었다. 자외선 흡수 효과는 Parsol MCX와 칸데릴라 왁스를 혼용하였을 때 높은 상승효과를 보였다.

A highly sensitive analytical method based on stir bar sorptive extraction (SBSE) technique and gas chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (GC/MS-MS) has been developed, allowing the simultaneous multi-analyte determination of seven UV filters in water samples. The stir bar coated with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) was added to 40 mL of water sample at pH 3 and stirred at 1,100 rpm for 120 min. Other SBSE parameters (salt effect and presence of organic solvent) were optimised. The method shows good linearity (coefficients > 0.990) and reproducibility (RSD < 12.9%). The extraction efficiencies were above 84% for all the compounds. The limits of detections (LOD) and limits of quantification (LOQ) were 2.1∼8.6 ng/L and 6.8∼27.5 ng/L, respectively. The developed method offers the ability to detect 8 UV filters at ultra-low concentration levels with only 40 mL of sample volume. Matrix effects in tap water, river water, wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) final effluent water and seawater were investigated and it was shown that the method is suitable for the analysis of trace level of 7 UV filters except of benzophenone (BP). The method developed in the present study has the advantage of being rapid, simple, high-sensitive and both user and environmentally friendly.

화장품에서 일반적으로 사용되고 있는 대표적인 자외선차단 원료들과 방부제인 phenoxyethanol (PE), 항균효과가 있는 ethylhexylglyceirn (EG)의 분배계수와 흡착도를 측정하여 비교하였고, 제품의 포장재 재질에 따라 PE가 흡착되는 정도를 비교하였다. PE, EG에 대한 11개 자외선 차단제의 분배계수는 EG가 상대적으로 높게 나타났으며 그중 Tinsorb M, Solaveil CT434가 높은 분배계수를 보였다. 40 % 이상의 EG 흡착을 보인 자외선 차단 원료는 Gransil PSQ, UV Titan M 160, Micro TiO2 MT 100 TV였고, Gransil PSQ와 Scadder는 40 % 이상의 PE를 흡착하였다. 또한 PE는 포장재 원료인 polyoxymethylene에 의해 1개월 후 7 ~ 8 % 흡착됨을 확인하였다. 자외선차단제품의 방부처방을 설계할 때 사용되는 자외선 차단제와 방부제와의 상관성을 고려하여 적절한 방부제 및 차단제를 선정해야 적은 방부제로도 최적의 방부력을 갖는 제품 설계가 가능함을 보여준다. 또한 포장재의 종류에 따라 시간이 경과하면서 방부제가 포장재에 흡착되어 방부력이 저하될 수 있음을 확인하였다.
