A total of 100 commercially available olive oil products were analyzed for 179 pesticide residues using gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC/MS/MS). The olive oil samples were mixed with organic solvents, centrifuged and frozen to remove fat, and pesticide residues were analyzed using the “quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe” (QuEChERS) method. The determination coefficient (R2) of the analysis method used in this study was ≥0.998. The detection limit of the method ranged 0.004–0.006 mg/kg and its quantitative limit ranged 0.012–0.017 mg/kg. The recovery rate (n=5) measured at the level ranging 0.01–0.02, 0.1, and 0.5 mg/kg ranged 66.8– 119.5%. The relative standard deviation (RSD) was determined to be ≤5.7%, confirming that this method was suitable for the "Guidelines for Standard Procedures for Preparing Food Test Methods". The results showed that a total of 151 pesticides (including difenoconazole, deltamethrin, oxyfluorfen, kresoxim-methyl, phosmet, pyrimethanil, tebuconazole, and trifloxystrobin) were detected in 64 of the 100 olive oil products. The detection range of these pesticide residues was 0.01–0.30 mg/kg. The percentage acceptable daily intake (%ADI) of the pesticides calculated using ADI and estimated daily intake (EDI) was 0.0001–0.1346, indicating that the detected pesticides were present at safe levels. This study provides basic data for securing the safety of olive oil products by monitoring pesticide residues in commercially available oilve oil products. Collectively, the analysis method used in this study can be used as a method to analyze residual pesticides in edible oils.

국내외적으로 유해물질의 통합 노출에 대한 관심은 높아지고 있다. 이러한 흐름에 따라 다양한 경로를 통해 노출될 수 있는 중금속에 대한 통합 노출 연구가 필요하다. 카드뮴과 납은 각각 신장 독성과 인지 장애 등 다양한 독성을 나타낼 수 있으며 또한 발암 물질로 알려져있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 카드뮴과 납의 노출량 추정 및 통합 위해성 평가를 진행하였다. 2016, 2017년의 7기 국민건강 영양조사에 참여한 10,733명의 식품, 물, 흡연과 간접흡연, 호흡, 화장품, 여성용 위생용품을 통한 중금속 노출 추정량을 계산하였다. 결과적으로 카드뮴과 납 모두 식품을 통한 노출이 제일 높게 나타났다. 이외에도 흡연은 카드뮴의 주요한 노출원이었으며, 납은 화장품을 통해 높은 농도로 노출되었다. 통합 위해평가에서도 식품이 가장 큰 영향을 미쳤다. 지역적 특성의 차이는 노출 추정량의 차이를 보이지 못하였으나, 연령 별, 성별 간 노출 추정량은 큰 차이를 보였다. 특히, 월경 중인 성인 여성의 경우 카드뮴, 월경 중이지 않은 여성은 납의 노출 추정량이 더 높으며 신체 대사를 고려하였을 때, 그 위험성이 더 클 수 있음을 암시하였다. 결론적으로 노출량 추정 및 통합 위해평가 모두 식품이 주요 노출원이었다. 다만, 잠재적 위험을 방지하기 위해 다른 경로에 대한 노출량 추정 및 위해평가가 요구된다.

The objective of this study was to investigate ELF-MF exposure levels of the elderly groups in their living environments using 24-hour personal measurement. In addition, EMF risk perception was investigated. Through evaluations of ELF-MF exposure levels in the proximity of the participants of 58 elderly groups, it was found that TWAam was 1.31 mG (TWAgm: 0.84). ELF-MF exposure levels of the elderly group that live in the proximity of a non-visible power line was high, but there were no statistically significant differences between the non-visible power line elderly group and visible power line elderly group. Moreover, there were no statistically significant differences in ELF-MF exposure according to gender, age, city classification, incomes, residence type, and size. The results showed that the perception of the ELF-MF was very low, as indicated by more than roughly 58.6% of the elderly surveyed saying that they did not know what ELF-MF was. In addition, there was no awareness among the group of how to avoid behavior of EMF from some electric equipment and facilities. Thus, these results will provide useful data for the determination of ELF-MF management and risk communication methods in the living environment for elderly people.

The objective of this study was to investigate ELF-MF exposure levels in infant living environmental spaces at daycare centers. To achieve the objective of the study, we surveyed ELF-MF levels using EMDEX II at daycare centers from October 2013 to October 2014. The ELF-MF level of 53 daycare centers in terms of arithmetic mean (AM) and geometric mean (GM) were 0.59 ± 0.76 mG and 0.33 mG, respectively. And the ELF-MF level of 260 daycare center classrooms was 0.50 ± 0.71 mG (GM: 0.28 mG). The exposure levels of ELF-MF for all daycare centers were far below the recommended standards cited in guidelines in Korea (833 mG) and international reference levels proposed by WHO or ICNIRP (2,000 mG). Furthermore, we discovered out that as distance increased, ELF-MF emission levels decreased significantly in all electrical instruments. Below the 2 mG ELF-MF levels when an electrical instrument moved away stage 1 (Grade). Thus, these results will provide useful data for the determination of ELF-MF management and reduction methods at infant daycare centers.

The objective of this study was to assess RF-EMF exposure levels in indoor daycare centers in a Metropolitan city. RF-EMF measurements were collected and surveyed from 50 volunteer daycare centers in the Korea between October 2013 and October 2014. Through our research, it was found that the main exposure source for indoor daycare centers is the frequency bands for TV and Radio broadcasting (FM: 88.1~107.9 MHz), mobile phone (869~894 MHz, 1840~1870 MHz, 1885~2170 MHz), wireless LAN and home electronics, etc., including TRS, Wireless Data Communication. The RF-EMF exposure levels for all daycare centers were far below the recommended standards of EMF Guideline Korea and international reference levels proposed by ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection). However, in terms of long term health effects some uncertainty exists, and thus minimizing exposure may reduce this uncertainty. The data we collected will be useful data for determining RF-EMF management and risk communication at daycare centers.

본 연구는 인천광역시내 유통되고 있는 기타가공품에 대하여 중금속 (납, 카드뮴, 수은), 부정유해물질 (발기부전치료제와 그 유사물질 36종, 비만치료제 3종, 스테로이드 28종)을 조사하여 안전성을 평가하고, 기타가공품에 대한 기준규격 제정 시 기초자료로서 제공하고자 실시하였다. 그결과 부정유해물질은 검출되지 않았고, 중금속은 납(Pb) 0.001~13.39(mg/kg), 카드뮴(Cd) 0.003~1.231(mg/kg), 수은(Hg)은 0.001~0.650(mg/kg)의 결과를 얻었다. 기타가 공품은 중금속에 대한 규격 기준이 없으므로, 중금속의 국내·외 기준을 비교하였을 때 중금속 최고기준을 적용하 면 납(Pb)과 수은(Hg)에서 각각 2건씩 4건이 초과되는 것으로 확인되었다. 검사결과를 바탕으로 한 중금속의 위해성 평가는 FAO/WHO (Codex)의 잠정주간섭취허용량(PTWI)과 비교결과, 해물파전믹스, 들깨가루는 Pb의 PTWI의 기준 0.214를 초과하였다. 결론적으로 분말류나 환제품을 유사식품 기준으로 적용 하면 부적합으로 판정 될 수 있기 때문에 규격검사를 피할 목적으로 기타가공품으로의 등록을 지향한다. 이를 악용할 경우 검사의 사각지대로 인해 시민의 건강이 위협 받을 수 있다. 따라서 품목제조허가 신고시 규격외 일반가공식품에서 기타가공품으로의 등록을 지양하고, 기타가공품의 세부적인 검사규격을 제정하여 관리해야 함을 제언한다.

In this article, to predict the wear amount of nano particles in a worn nano composite, computational analysis pre/post-processor were developed using ABAQUS and visual basic programs. The abrasion, which is one of nano particles release scenarios, was applied in the computational analysis. Moreover, reciprocation, which is the abrasion type, was selected and incarnated in abrasion computational analysis. Also, to predict wear amount of nano composite in computational analysis, archard equation was applied and the predicted wear amount was evaluated compare with experimental value. The predicted wear amount of nano composite was increased in accordance with increasing force and was similar to result of experimental value.

This survey was conducted to develop an appropriate management for safety of children snacks. In this study, monitorings of food additives such as nine kinds of tar colors (tartrazine, sunset yellow FCF, brilliant blue FCF, indigo carmine, new coccine, amaranth, erythrosine, allura red and fast green FCF) which are sold at stationary store around the school, were performed. Eighty two samples (3 snacks, 71 candies, 4 chocolates and 4 beverages)were analyzed for tar colors. Results of risk assessment for tar colors were expressed as EDI (Estimated Daily Intake) comparing with ADI (Acceptable Daily Intake). The ratio of high risk group for tar color intake (95th) were 0-3.56%. The consumptions of tar colors from domestic and imported products for nine kinds of tar colors in candies were not significantly different. The results of this study indicated that each EDI of nine kinds of tar colors sold at stationary store around the school is much lower than each ADI in general. Consequently, the children snacks are thought to be safe for consumption.

This paper has attempted to find out the factors that have an influence on the consciousness of the release of hazardous materials into the air in a nail shop. For this, the concentrations of organic solvents in the air in 10 nail shop(31 employees) in 'S' District of Seoul have been measured. Furthermore, a questionnaire survey was conducted from January 18 to May 18, 2008. Most subjects were female with mean age of 25.61 years - 25 or younger: 19 (61.3%), older than 25 : 12 (38.7%). At the breathing height for employees in a nail shop, the concentrations of organic solvents were the highest (16.61ppm), followed by ethyl acetate 1.23ppm, butyl acetate 0.40ppm, toluene 0.27ppm, n-hexane 0.25ppm and isopropyl alcohol 0.21ppm. With regard to employees' consciousness symptoms (frequent fatigue' 100%, 'headache' 90.3%, 'nasal irritation' 77.4%, 'irritation in eyes' 71.0%, 'score throat' 64.5% and 'coughing' 51.6%), statistically significant difference has been observed (p<0.01). In particular, this paper has been aimed to suggest ground data for revision of the regulations that are related with the indoor air quality of nail shop and the guidelines for employees' health.

Indoor air quality tends to be the dominant contributor to personal exposure, because most people spend over 80% of their time indoors. In this study, indoor and outdoor NO2 concentrations were measured simultaneously with personal exposures of 30 university students in weekday and weekend in Daegu, Korea. House characteristics and subject's activity pattern were used to determine the effects on personal exposure. Since university students spent most of their times indoor, their NO2 exposure was associated with indoor NO2 level during both weekday and weekend in spite of different time activity. Using a time-weighted average model, NO2 exposures of university students were estimated by NO2 measurements in indoor home, indoor school, and outdoor home. In conclusion, major personal exposure to NO2 resulted from air quality of indoor environment at house.

PAHs 화합물은 유기탄소화합물의 불완전연소에 의해 주로 발생하는데, 일반인들은 대기오염에 의한 호흡노출과 가열조리식품의 경구섭취가 주요 인체노출경로로 알려지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 PAHs화합물에 오염된 식품이 식생활에 많은 부분을 차지하고 있어 우리나라 대표식품을 참고로 가정식과 외식의 식단을 작성하고 작성한 식단을 근거로 식품 중 PAHs화합물 오염도를 분석하여, 분석된 PAHs화합물의 오염도 자료를 활용한 가정식과 외식 1끼 식사를 기준으로 인체노출량을 비교하고, 성인 하루 가정식 2회, 외식 1회 섭취시의 1일인체노출량을 평가하였다. 다빈도·다소비식품에서 PAHs화합물 오염도를 분석한 결과 총 PAHs농도는 2.00~141.28 ug/kg의 범위로 검출되었으며, 멸치볶음이 가장 높게 나타났다. 상대독성계수(TEFs)를 활용하여 환산한 독성등가량은 0.03~l.31 ugTEQ_(BaP)/kg 범위였고, 가장 높은 값을 가진 식품은 햄버거이었다. 식품별 오염도와 노출변수들을 고려하여 산출한 끼니별 가정식과 외식에서의 PAHs 화합물 평균인체노출량은 각각 2.4×10^(-3) ugTEQ_(BaP)/kg/meal와 4.0x10^(-3) ugTEQ_(BaP)/kg/meal으로 외식이 가정식보다 PAHs화합물의 인체노출이 1.7배가 높은 수준으로 나타났다. 햄버거, 숯불쇠고기구이, 숯불삼겹살구이, 고등어구이 등은 PAHs화합물 오염도와 독성등가량 및 1회분식품섭취량이 모두 높아 PAHs화합물의 주요노출기여 식품인 것을 알 수 있었다. 가정식에서 미역국이 1.8x10^(-3) ugTEQ_(BaP)/kg/meal으로, 외식에서는 햄버거가3.9x10^(-3)ugTEQ_(BaP)/kg/meal으로 기여도가 가장 높았다 하루 3회 식사를 고려한 1일 PAHs화합물인체노출량수준은 8.0x10^(-3)~9.7×10^(-3) ug/kg/day 이었다. 본 연구 결과가 PAHs 화합물의 안전성평가와 기준규격설정의 필요성 및 식품안전관리를 위한 규제를 제정하는 기초 자료가 되길 바라며, PAHs화합물의 고노출상황을 줄일 수 있는 개개인의 계획된 식단 작성시, 이에 대한 정보를 제공하고자 한다.
