Per capita nail-products use and airborne VOCs emission in four techniques of nail care (full coat coloring, UVgel polish, repair silk, and acrylic overlay) are estimated in this study. These assessments were carried out in a sealed test chamber using artificial hand and nails. A polish remover and a gel cleanser as cleanser and acrylic liquid as solvent were the most commonly used nail products in all 4 of the nail care techniques. Acetone, isopropyl alcohol, and methanol, which are major components of a polish remover, were commonly detected in all nail care techniques while acetone was detected the most. In addition to these airborne VOCs, a variety of other components such as ethyl acetate, cyclohexane, and toluene were identified in full coat coloring technique. In the process of UV-gel polish care technique, the main airborne VOCs were caused by solvents and were not involved in the curing process of UV gels (base gel and top gel) and gel bonder. In the case of repair silk nail care techniques, which generated the most VOCs, the total amount of VOCs detected was about 1,118.8 ± 359.6 mg/capita. Of the VOCs, butane (862.2 ± 283.9 mg/capita), which is contained in glue dryer, represented the largest share. In the process of acrylic overlay nail care technique, ethyl methacrylate (EMA), which is the basic element of acrylic, and highly toxic methyl methacrylate (MMA) were detected at 396.6 ± 42.3 mg/capita and 141.8 ± 8.2 mg/capita, respectively. The per capita data is very useful in designing a ventilation system for environmental improvement of a nail shop and setting a health care policy for nail artists and customers.

About half of the South Korean population lives in the three major metropolitan areas, which are Seoul, Kyeonggi and Incheon. Among this group, more than 50% live in apartments. In this study, the relationship between the concentration of indoor VOCs and environmental factors was investigated in metropolitan apartments in the occupation stage. The maximum concentration of TVOC (total volatile organic compounds) was monitored in spring season. Among the identified VOCs, toluene was present in the highest amount, followed by terpene, aldehyde and hydrocarbon. Due to the specific indoor sources, the I/O ratio of terpene (e.g. d-limonene, α-pinene, and β-pinene) was relatively higher than that of the others. The construction year and length of residence were revealed as the environmental factors having the greatest influence on the concentration of indoor benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene, styrene and hydrocarbon, and the relationship was statistically significant. The floor and size of the apartment influenced the levels of indoor nonanal. The relationships between individual VOCs showed highly positive correlations that are statistically significant. Through the relationship study, it was found that factors including newly built apartment, short period of time after moving in, high floors and small floor area were the main factors inducing an increased concentration of indoor VOCs in apartments.

다성분계 휘발성 유기화합물(VOCs; Volatile Organic Compounds)의 분리를 위하여 상전이법을 이용하여 방사 한 poly (ether imide) (PEI) 중공사 지지체에 poly (dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS)를 코팅하여 중공사 복합막을 제조하였다. VOCs 회수용 중공사막으로서 적합성을 알아보기 위해서 중공사막의 모폴로지, 질소 및 산소 기체 투과도를 측정하고, 벤젠, 톨루엔 그리고 자일렌에 대한 내구성을 조사하였다. 다성분계 휘발성 유기화합물의 효과적인 분리성능을 조사하기 위하여 Stage-cut과 feed 농도에 따른 다성분계 VOCs 투과 성능 변화를 관찰하였다. PEI 지지체 중공사막에 PDMS를 코팅시킴 에 따라 산소와 질소 투과도는 각각 45,000 GPU와 49,450 GPU에서 63 GPU와 30 GPU로 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. VOCs 투과농도는 Stage-cut이 감소함에 따라 증가하나, 회수율은 감소하였다. 반면에 공급농도 증가에 따라 투과농도는 비례적으로 증가하였지만, 농축비나 회수율은 큰 변화가 없었다.

There has been a growing concern about the emissions of formaldehyde and VOCs from automotive interior materials which could have an important impact on the in-vehicle air quality(IVAQ) of automotive vehicles. Many leading automobile manufacturers have now introduced their own specification standards for testing and limiting emissions from products produced by their suppliers. In addition, ISO (International Standard Organization) has been established ISO 12219-1, 2, 3, 4, 5 to determine the emissions of volatile organic compounds from automotive vehicle. The objective of this paper is to compare the area specific emission rates determined from surface emissions testing using the microchamber(MC) in comparison with a 1 m³ emission test chamber(ETC) operated in accordance with ISO 12219-3, ISO 12219-4. Measured emission concentrations in absolute terms were different between Microchamber and 1 m³ chamber. However, qualitative comparison of the chromatograms shows that the Microchamber is able to perform a screening test

4가지 서로 다른 소재(대나무, 목재, 피탄, 석탄)로 제조된 10가지 활성탄에 대해서, 30% 알코올모델용액에 용해되어 있는 6가지 휘발성화합물(isoamyl alcohol, hexanal, furfural, ethyl lactate, ethyl octanoate, 2-phenyl ethanol)의 흡착효율을 평가하였다. 이들 6가지 휘발성화합물은 알코올음료에서 종종 발견되며, 농도가 높을 경우에는 숙취의 원인이 될 뿐만이 아니라 위스키나 보드카와 같은 술에서 이취의 원인물질이 되기도 한다. 6가지 휘발성화합물이 용해되어 있는 30% 알코올모델용액 200 mL에 0.2 g의 활성탄을 넣고 16시간 일정한 속도로 교반한 후에 처리된 용액을 2가지 시료처리방법(direct liquid injection and headspace-solid phase microextraction)을 이용 GC분석을 수행하여 활성탄의 제거효율을 구하였다. 활성탄의 제거효율은 휘발성화합물의 종류와 활성탄제조의 소재에 따라 차이가 있었으며, ethy octanoate, 2-phenyl ethanol, hexanal에 대한 제거율은 34-100%로 높은 편이나, isoamyl alcohol, ethyl lactate, furfural의 제거율은 5-13%로 비교적 낮은 편이었다. 활성탄의 종류에 따른 제거율은 대나무활성탄인 A가 isoamly alcohol, hexanal, ethyl lactate, furfural 등 대부분의 휘발성화합물에 대해서 유의적으로 높았으며(p < 0.05), 특히 알코올음료에서 숙취와 이취물질이며 fusel oil의 주성분인 isoamyl alcohol, aldehydes(hexanal, furfural), 2-phenyl ethanol에 대한 흡착효율이 높은 것으로 확인되었다.

"Sick car syndrome" is known as a syndrome having latent health damage caused by complex smell of the assorted chemicals such as PVC and ABS which was components of new car interior trim (sheet, dashboard, audio case, cable, safety glass, synthetic rubber, and adhesive). The impact of interior trim on VOC levels was evaluated by testing with leather or fabric trims. Concentrations of VOCs and formaldehyde (HCHO) discharged from the car interior trims (2 sheet covers and 1 headliner) fixed in the sample holder of the small chamber were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. Concentrations of TVOC and HCHO emitted from 3 samples increased with increasing temperature and time. Concentration of TVOC emitted from PVC foam leather was highest under experimental conditions.

The changes of the color, texture and volatile flavor compounds of Yu-gwa were investigated that affected by the oxidation during storage to characteristic Yu-gwa quality. Among the proximate compositions, carbohydrate was the most abundant component, and followed by lipid and moisture. Although the change of the color showed different pattern by the packaging materials during the storage period, the value of yellowness(b) increased but that of lightness(L) decreased dramatically after 3 month storage. In the textural properties reported closely related with the moisture content, hardness was fairly affected on the period of the storage rather than the type of packaging materials. The flavor compounds of Yu-gwa were analyzed to evaluate the change of distinct volatile compounds during storage. Of the twenty one separated volatile compounds, major volatiles were aldehydes, alcohols and alkenes. The results also showed that polyethylene(PE) contained less volatiles than polypropylene(PP) by the oxidation process during storage.2,4-Decadienal was gradually increased with the period of the storage, whereas octane and furan were decreased. The results provided that the change of the flavor distribution during the storage, and also the possibility of the volatiles such as hexanal, nonanal and 2,4-decadienal as the indicator for the oxidation process.

The characteristics of odor and VOCs emitted from a sewage treatment plant was investigated to provide the basic informations in the design of odor and VOCs treatment processes. The sewage treatment plant which treated domestic wastewater only and consisted of a flow equalization tank, thicker, and sludge container was selected. Odor and VOCs sampled three times (June - July) at the temperatures ranging from 24℃ to 27℃ were analyzed by GC/MS and GC/FPD. Odors were hydrogen sulfide, dimethylsulfide, ammonia, and styrene. Among them, the main compounds were dimethyldisulfide (14.45~2,340.91 O.U.) and ammonia (18.51~16,520 O.U.). The order of odor dilution ratio and odor unit can be listed as follows : Sludge container ＞ Flow equalization tank ＞ Thicker. The main VOC produced from sewage treatment plant was benzenes, and the others were dichloromethane, toluene, ethylbenzene, m,p-xylene, styrene, 1,2,4,-trimethylbenzene, 1,3-dichlorobenzene, and 1,2-dichlorobenzene. The concentration of toluene of a flow equalization tank, thicker, and sludge container were produced from 70.38 ppb to 103.07 ppb, from 28.18 ppb to 40.35 ppb, and from 67.92 ppb to 180.26 ppb. The producing order of VOC can be listed as follows : Sludge container ＞ Flow equalization tank ＞ Thicker.

묵은 배추김치의 휘발성 성분들을 고진공승화법을 이용하여 분리, 농축하였으며, GC-MS로 분석하였다. 총 62가지의 휘발성 성분들이 검출되었으며, 7개의 sulfur-containing compounds, 8개의 terpenes, 5개의 esters, 8개의 acids, 15개의 alcohols, 2개의 nitriles, 2개의 ketones, 11개의 aliphatic hydrocarbons, 4개의 miscellaneous compounds등으로 구성되어 있었다. 이 중 특히, acids인 acetic acid와 butanoic acid가 높은 함량을 나타내었다. 묵은 배추김치에서 향기활성성분을 규명하기 위해 고진공승화법을 이용하여 휘발성 성분들을 분리 및 농축 후 향 추출물 희석분석법으로 flavor dilution(FD) factor(Log3FD)를 구하였으며, GC-MS 및 GC-Olfactometry(GC-O)법으로 휘발성 성분들을 동정하였다. 이 결과 묵은 배추김치에서 총 16종의 화합물이 검출되었다. 이중 시큼한 냄새, 군덕내의 특성을 지닌 acetic acid, butanoic acid가 높은 FD factor를 보였으며, acids외에 높은 (FD 〉 9)를 나타내는 성분들로는 linalool, 2-vinyl-4H-1,3-dithin 등이 있었다.

The emission concentrations of VOC and various odorous compounds were measured from different indoor process units located in 19 companies at the Ban Wall industrial complex from Jun. 2004 to Jan. 2005. The purpose of this study was to investigate the indoor pollution levels of various industrial facilities with respect to bothmalodorous compounds and volatile organic compounds (VOC). We also intended to build the database under the conditions affected by various anthropogenic processes with an aid of a statistical treatment. The three samplingmethods and five analytical techniques were applied tomeasure the sum of up to 32 individual compounds. According to this study, we were able to identify the importance ofmajormalodor compounds which include carbonyl compounds, reduced sulfur compounds, ammonia and trimethylamine. On the other hand, relative contribution of VOC as sources ofmalodor was ofminor significance except such compound as toluene. The overall results of this study thus indicate that the concentration levels of VOC in themanufacturing facilities are high enough to affect indoor laboring conditions.

In this study, an attempt was made to measure uncertainties involved in the analysis of gaseous VOC standards prepared at various dilution stage. A GC/FlD system equipped with air server/thermal desorption (AS/TD) unit was used to draw calibration curves for the known amounts of VOC gases (including benzene, toluene, xylene, and styrene) prepared at four individual concentrations (10, 20, 50, and 100 ppb). The calibration curves obtained from standards of each respective concentration were compared with each other. It was found that the loss of samples was more prominent with decreasing standard concentrations (e.g., one prepared at 10 ppb) and that the heaviest compound, styrene exhibited the most noticeable loss than the others. In this study, an ancillary experiment was also conducted to evaluate the compatibility of standards between gaseous (using Tedlar bag) and liquid phases (using tube method). Based on this comparative analysis, the compatibility between two standard type was evaluated in terms of the recovery ratio between gas and liquid: 56 (benzene), 42 (toluene), 31 (p-xylene), and 25% (styrene).

세라믹 타겟인 Ta2O(sub)5을 장착한 rf-마그네트론 스퍼터를 이용하여 Ta2O(sub)5 완충층을 증착하고, Sr(sub)0.8Bi(sub)2.4Ta2O(sbu)9 용액을 사용하여 MOD 법에 의해 SBT 막을 성장시킨 metal/ferroelectric/insulator/semiconductor (MFIS) 구조인 Pt/SBT/Ta2O(sub)5/Si 구조의 Ta2O(sub)5 완충층 증착시의 O2유량비, Ta2O(sub)5 완충층 두께에 따른 전기적 특성을 조사하였다. 그리고 Ta2O(sub)5 박막의 완충층으로써의 효과를 확인하기 위해 Pt/SBT/Ta2O(sub)5/Si 구조와 Pt/SBT/Si 구조의 전기적 특성을 비교하였다. Ta2O(sub)5 완충층 증착시의 O2유량비가 0%일 때는 전형적인 MFIS 구조의 C-V 특성을 얻지 못하였으며, 20%의 O2유량비일 때 가장 큰 메모리 윈도우 값을 얻었다. 그리고 O2유량비가 40%, 60%로 증가할수록 메모리 윈도우는 감소하였다. Ta2O(sub)5 완충층의 두께의 변화에 대한 C-V 특성에서는 36nm의 Ta2O(sub)5 두께에서 가장 큰 메모리 값을 얻었다. Pt/SBT/Si 구조의 메모리 윈도우 값과 누설전류 특성은 Pt/SBT/Ta2O(sub)5/Si 구조의 값에 비해 크게 떨어졌으며, 따라서 Ta2O(sub)5 막이 우수한 완충층으로써의 역할을 함을 알았다.

투과증발공정에서 polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS)막에 대한 용매의 수착특성과 투과 플럭스를 예측하는 방법을 제시하였다. 이 방법을 이용하여 chloroform, toluene, methoanol, n-butanol의 수착량과 투과 플럭스를 계산하였으며, 계산값과 실험값을 비교하였다. 팽윤을 촉진시키는 정용매(good solvent)인 toluene과 chloroform의 경우 계산된 수착량과 투과 플럭스는 실험값과 잘 일치하였다. 막의 밀도가 작을수록 수착량과 투과 플럭스는 증가하였다. 팽윤을 억제시키는 부용매(poor solvent)인 methanol, n-butanol의 경우는 실험값과 상당한 오차가 있었다. 따라서, 본 미케니즘에 의해 PDMS막에 대한 정용매의 수착량과 투과 플럭스는 실험에 의하지 않고도 이론적으로 예측할 수 있는 가능성을 보여주었다.

탈취온도를 상이하게 처리한 옥수수기름들로부터 정유성분을 추출하여 이의 flavor 성분을 GC로 분리 정량하였다. Flavor성분으로는 8종의 aldehydes를 포함하여 총 16종이 검출되었으며, 주요 flavor성분은 propane, pentane, hexanal 등으로 이는 전체의 70∼75%를 차지하였다. 탈취온도가 상승할수록 ethane 및 8종의 aldehydes 함량은 점진적인 증가 현상을 보인 반면, propane, pentane, hexanem octane, pentyl furan 함량은 뚜렷한 감소현상을 나타내었다. 한편, 총 flavor성분함량은 245℃ 처리군에서 가장 낮아 특이성을 나타내었으며, 탈취온도의 상승에 따라 aldehydes 함량이 비례적으로 증가하였는데, 이는 탈취과정중 stripping steam, 진공도 등의 영향으로 인한 부분적인 자동산화, 분해 중합, 가수분해 등의 부반응에 기인하는 것으로 사료된다. 따라서, 이취물질의 극소화를 위하여는 지나친 고온탈취를 억제하는 것이 바람직하다는 결론을 얻었다.

페르브스카이트 구조를 갖는 CaTiO3-La(Zn12/Ti12)O3계에서 소결 온도와 소결 시간의 증가에 따른 ZnO의 휘발과 이에 따른 고주파 유전 특성에 대하여 조사하였다. 시편 내부를 WDS 분석한 결과 위치에 따른 ZnO의 농도차를 관찰할 수 있었고, 시편의 두께를 달리하여 QxfO 값을 조사한 결과 ZnO가 많이 휘발된 가장자리에서 더 높은 QxfO 값을 얻을 수 있었다. 0.535CaTiO3-0. 465La(Zn12/Ti12/)O3몰비로 1550˚C, 2시간동안 합성한 결과 소결 밀도 5.31g/㎤, 유전율 50, Qxf034,000, 온도계수 +8ppm/˚C의 고주파 유전 특성을 갖는 소결체를 얻을 수 있었다.

In this study, we investigated the characteristics of Volatile Organic Compounds(VOCs) emission from painting and printing facilities in the Pyeongdong industrial complex in Gwangju. In addition, the objective was to understand the distribution characteristics of VOCs in the ambient air in industrial complexes affected by painting and printing facilities. The painting facility mainly emitted toluene, acetone, butyl acetate, 4-methyl-2-pentanone, ethyl acetate, 1-butanol, methyl ethyl ketone, m,p-xylene, o-xylene, 4-ethyltoluene, ethylbenzene, 3-ethyltoluene, and 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene. The main emission components in printing facilities were methyl ketone, ethyl acetate, acetone, 2-propanol, toluene, heptane, and butyl acetate. Ethyl acetate, toluene, 2-butanone, acetone, butyl acetate, 2-propanol, xylenes, and 4-methyl-2-pentanone were detected in the ambient air of the Pyeongdong industrial complex, consistent with the VOCs emitted by painting and printing facilities. The average concentration of seasonal TVOCs followed an order of winter > fall > spring > summer, whereas the concentrations of daytime and nighttime TVOCs were generally higher at night than those during the day, and the wind speed was greater during the day than it was at night. Based on a factor analysis of VOCs in the ambient air of Pyeongdong industrial complex, it is considered that organic solvents used in coating, printing, and electronics manufacturing facilities, as well as diesel vehicle emissions played a major role.
