Microplastics and nanoplastics (NMPs) are considered one of hazardous contaminants in marine ecosystems due to their toxic effects, such as reproduction disorder and oxidative stress, on marine organisms. Although water temperature is rising due to global climate change, little information on the toxicological interaction between NMPs and temperature is available. Therefore, in this study, we confirmed the toxicity of NMPs (polystyrene [PS] beads; 0.05- and 6-μm) on brackish water fleas (Diaphanosoma celebensis) depending on increased temperature (30°C and 35°C) at individual and molecular levels. In the chronic toxicity test, the group exposed to high temperatures showed an earlier first reproduction time compared to the normal temperatures group, but it was delayed by co-exposure to NMPs at 35°C. Notably, the total reproduction decreased significantly only after 0.05-μm PS beads exposure at 30°C. Interaction analysis showed that first reproduction time, modulation of the antioxidantrelated gene (GSTS1), heat shock gene (Hsp70), and ecdysteroid pathway-related genes (EcR_A, EcR_B, and CYP314A1) were closely related to temperature and PS beads size. These results indicate that microplastics have size-dependent toxicity, and their toxicity can be enhanced at high temperatures. In addition, higher temperatures and PS beads exposure may have negative effects on reproduction. This study suggests that various factors such as water temperature should be considered when evaluating the toxicity of microplastics in marine ecosystems, and provides an understanding of the complex toxic interaction between water temperature and microplastics for marine zooplankton.

This paper was examined the durability properties of concrete using rapid cooling slag as fine aggregate for concrete. The results of experiments, concrete using rapid cooling slag showed that durability properties was equal to concrete using normal fine aggregate.

화장품 분야에서 펄 안료는 다양하게 적용되어져 왔다. 지금까지 가장 대중적으로 사용된 펄 안료는 마이카 기재에 산화철이 코팅된 것이었지만, 최종 제품에 이와 같은 펄을 사용하게 될 경우 천연 마이카에 함유된 불순물로 인해 약간의 불투명한 노란 색상이 띄게 된다[1,2]. 본 연구는 눈과 같은 반짝임을 제공하는 펄 안료 개발에 초점을 맞췄고, 눈과 같은 효과는 펄 안료의 구조와 순도 등의 영향 때문인 것을 알게 되었다. 특히, 이번 펄 안료 개발은 유리 기재와 산화철을 코팅시켜 눈의 광학적인 값(refractive index)과 입자 크기(particle size)를 눈과 유사하게 개발하였고 이는 눈과 같이 화려한 반짝임(glittering) 효과를 구현할 수 있게 되었다. 그리고 메이크업 제품에 본 펄 안료를 적용하여 화려한 제품을 개발하게 되었다.
