In this study, the characteristic of offensive major odorous compound from the Bon-San industrial complex in Gimhae were determined by analytical methods of Gas Chromatography, High Performance Liquid Chromatography and UV/VIS Spectrophotometer. The kind of major odorous compounds examined acetaldehyde, sulfur compounds, ammonia and styrene. The concentration of all odorous compounds at 3 sampling points of industrial complex were lower than those of regulation standard levels of the industrial complex in Korea. The mean concentration of hydrogen sulfide was 0.0235 ppm at sampling point 2, it was higher than other sampling point. Complex odors was lower than regulation standard levels of the industrial complex in Korea.

In this study, we measured volatile organic compounds in Gimhae city, South Korea. We selected twenty site and measured volatile organic compounds in ambient air by passive sampler when at sampling intervals of two month from April to December 2005. Passive sampler was exposed for fifteen day in ambient air. And samples were analyzed by GC/FID for volatile organic compounds. The results of each measured functional zone, mean concentration of each compound measured were generally higher the industrial complex area and traffic pollution area than residental area. Each area showed similar pattern for the observation period. concentration of measured each compound were the following order: winter > fall > spring > summer.

Quinclorac, bentazone, 2,4-D, bensulfuron-methyl, dymuron, capropamide, pencycuron 및 ethofenprox를 동시에 분석할 수 있는 전처리 방법과 0.1% 인산 및 아세토니트릴을 이동상으로하고 225 nm를 측정파장으로 사용한 RP-HPLC(reverse phase-high performance liquid chromatography)법을 개발하였다. 동 농약성분들의 검출 및 정량한계는 각각 0.12〜0.84 ppm 및 0.34〜1.20 ppm이었고, 회수율은 78〜96%이었다. 본 방법을 통하여 시료 전처리에서 분석까지 기존 13시간이 소요된 총 분석시간을 3시간 이내로 줄일 수 있었다.

This study was carried out to investigate the correlation between toluene in air and hippuric acid in human urine, which is based in the results of the health check-in and measure of working environment, was investigated for five years. Toluene in air and hippuric acid in urine were checked 116 workers who exposed to toluene in five type of industry. The Mean concentration of toluene in air by type of industry and every year and sex distinction, had positive correlation.(p<0.01) The Mean concentration of hippuric acid in urine by type of industry, every year, sex distinction, disparity of age and term of duty had positive correlation.(p<0.01)

This study evaluated the hazard caused by NO2, an oxidant generated in the process of welding. We compared hematological and biochemical parameters in workers who chronically inhale NO2 and office workers not exposed to NO2. NO2 exposure affected the hematological and biochemical parameters. Increasing NO2 concentrationincreased the number of leukocytes, while decreasing the number of erythrocytes. Blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, uric acid, and lactate dehydrogenase were increased, while total protein and triglycerides were decreased. The mean concentration of NOx(NO2-/ NO3-) in the serum of welders and the control group was 35.97±2.85 and 55.40±5.81 μmol/L, respectively. The difference was significant (p<0.05), although NO2- was not detected in the serum.

Activated carbon is amorphous and its intraparticle pores are well developed. Thus it has high adsorption capabilities and catalytic effect, and is utilized in many areas of industries such as food processing. In recent years, the demand of activated carbon has been increased to solve the environmental problems-waste treatment and removal of poisonous gas. Therefore, in this study an activated carbon was made using the waste and then the industrial characteristics of the produced activated carbon were investigated. The result showed that the carbonization yield was decreased when carbonization temperature was increased from 400 to 600℃ and that the optimal carbonization temperature was 500℃. The optimal concentration of NaOH for removing ash in the raw sample was 1～2N. The iodine adsorption of activated carbon using waste sample at 500℃ carbonization was 1204.28mg/g. The activation result of carbonization sample showed that the optimal activation condition was the carbonization at 500℃ and the activation at 800℃. So the production of activated carbon was thought to be possible, reused as resource, and decreased the environmental pollution.
