We investigated the education process of an environmental experiment in middle and high school. The major objective was that students understand about biological toxicity of endocrine disruptor. We used bisphenol A in environmental experiment to educate them about the effects of endocrine disruptor. The test animal was zebrafish (Danio rerio, wild type) which is very easy to use in the school experiment class. We educated the high school students (n=25) in Suwon through this teaching program. Finally we analyzed the effect of research education between two groups, education students (test) and non-education students (control). This experiment showed there were some positive effects on environmental reorganization of students. They understood the affect of endocrine disruptors in fish and man. Specifically, understanding the importance of preservation of ecosystem increased in the test-education group.

We investigated the relationship between the TiO2 photocatalytic decomposition of bisphenol A in water and biological toxicity to zebrafish (Danio rerio) during 1～28 weeks post development stage. The bisphenol A in water was completely degraded by the TiO2 photocatalysis in 50 hours. After the photocatalysis, no toxic effects on the morphogenesis of the zebrafish were observed during the development, growth, and maturate stages. Catalase activity of control group was not different from 1～5 week post fertilized group. However, toxic effect on the catalase activity of adult stage(28 weeks) decreased 50% than control group.
