블루베리혹파리(Dasineura oxycoccana)(파리목: 혹파리과)는 국내에서 재배되고 있는 블루베리의 주요해충으로 알려져 있다. 우리는 이 해충을 효과적으로 예찰하기 위한 수단을 개발하고자, 블루베리 휘발성 물질과 성페로몬의 유인 효과를 검정하였다. 블루베리로부터 방출되는 휘발성 물질을 고체상미량추출법(SPME)으로 포집하여 기체크로마토그래피-질량분석기(GC-MS)로 분석한 결과, 꽃의 주요 물질은 cinnamaldehyde와 cinnamyl alcohol이었고, 신초와 어린과실의 주요 물질은 β-caryophyllene, germacrene D, 및 α-farnesene인 것으로 조사되었다. 2019년에 군산에 소재하고 있는 블루베리 포장에서 시판 중인 cinnamaldehyde, cinnamyl alcohol, β-caryophyllene, 및 α-farnesene 의 효능을 시험하였는데, 이 4가지 성분을 단독 또는 혼합물로 처리하였을 때 블루베리혹파리는 유인되지 않았다. 반대로 이 종의 성페로몬으로 알려진 (2R,14R)-2,14-diacetoxyheptadecane은 수컷을 효과적으로 유인하였다. 유인효과에 있어서 성페로몬과 기주식물 휘발성 물질 사이에 시너지 효과는 관찰되지 않았다. 2020년 군산 블루베리 포장에서 블루베리혹파리 성충은 5월부터 8월까지 성페로몬 트랩에 유인되었고, 발생최 성기는 3회로서 5월 중순, 6월 하순, 및 7월 하순으로 나타났다.

The concentrations of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and odor-inducing substances were measured using selected ion flow tube mass spectrometers (SIFT-MS) and a drone equipped with an air quality monitoring system. SIFT-MS can continuously measure the concentration of VOCs and odor-inducing substances in realtime without any pre-treating steps for the sample. The vehicle with SIFT-MS was used for real-time measurement of VOC concentration at the site boundaries of pollution sources. It is possible to directly analyze VOCs concentration generated at the outlets by capturing air from the pollution sources with a drone. VOCs concentrations of nine spots from Banwol National Industrial Complex were measured by a vehicle equipped with SIFT-MS and were compared with the background concentration measured inside the Metropolitan Air Quality Management Office. In three out of the nine spots, the concentration of toluene, xylene, hydrogen sulfide, and methyl ethyl ketone was shown to be much higher than the background concentration. The VOCs concentrations obtained using drones for high-concentration suspected areas showed similar tendencies as those measured using the vehicle with SIFTMS at the site boundary. We showed that if both the drone and real-time air quality monitoring equipment are used to measure VOCs concentration, it is possible to identify the pollutant sources at the industrial complex quickly and efficiently check sites with high concentrations of VOCs.

Indoor air environments for people are recently being observed because the time we spend inside the house or a building throughout the day has been extended during the present circumstances. This is why formaldehyde and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are regulated, which can cause Sick Building Syndrome (SBS). There might be other VOCs not regulated by law in newly built collective housing, however, in order to compensate for the reduced concentration of regulated VOCs such as benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene, and styrene. In this study, the concentration of unregulated VOCs in newly built collective housing structures located in the Seoul Special City was researched to find potential indoor hazards for citizens and to prepare basic data for further research.

In this study, we listed the VOCs focusing on ozone precursors emitted from printing shops in urban areas. The emission characteristics of the VOCs from workplaces were evaluated in terms of the used inks. As a result of field measurements, more than 80% of detected VOCs showed high values of photochemical ozone creation potential (POCP). The main species were aromatic hydrocarbons such as ethylbenzene, toluene, ethyltoluene, xylene, trimethylbenzene and their isomers, and paraffin hydrocarbons such as nonane, decane, and octane. Comparative examination between pristine ink and the printing process revealed the emission of hydrocarbons with 8 to 12 carbons such as o-xylene to n-dodecane from the used inks and with 3 to 7 carbons such as acetone to 3-methylhexane from the printing process. The major contributors to ozone production in printing industries were toluene (12.2%), heptane (7.43%), and 1,2,3-trimethylbenzene (7.21%) in every step.

Two sewage treatment facilities were selected to identify odor emission characteristics, focusing on volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and sulfur compounds. The complex odor, 5 kinds of sulfur compounds and 23 kinds of VOCs were analyzed from gas and sludge storages. Hydrogen sulfide was detected in the highest concentration and had the highest odor quotient among the odorous compounds monitored in this study, demonstrating that the contribution of hydrogen sulfide to the complex odor reached up to 90%. For VOCs, the overall contribution to the complex odor was not critical but VOCs can sufficiently trigger an odorous sensation because the sum of the odor quotient reached up to 2.89.

국내 과수원에서는 암브로시아나무좀(Xyleborinus saxesenii)과 오리나무좀(Xylosandrus germanus)을 비롯한 다수의 나무좀류가 발생하여 나무의 세력을 떨어뜨리거나 말라 죽게 만들고 있다. 현재 농가에서는 나무좀류의 발생시기와 발생량을 조사하기 위하여 알코올과 끈끈이가 결합된 유인트랩을 활용하고 있다. 그러나 이 알코올 트랩은 나무좀류 이외에 수많은 다른 곤충류도 동시에 유인하기 때문에 유살된 나무좀류를 조사하는 것이 번거롭고 빈번한 끈끈이 교환으로 경제적 손실이 큰 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 나무좀류의 발생예찰 수단인 알코올 트랩의 유인 특이성을 제고하기 위하여, 포도잎 휘발성 물질과 핵과류 과실 휘발성 물질이 알코올 트랩에 대한 나무좀류의 유인력에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 포도잎 휘발물질 중에서는 nonanal이 알코올과 함께 처리되었을 때 나무좀류의 유인이 향상되었으나 알코올만 처리한 것과 통계적 차이가 없었다. 핵과류 과실 휘발성 물질 중에서는 ethyl isovalerate 등 5가지 성분이 알코올과 함께 처리되었을 때 나무좀류의 유인을 향상시켰던 반면, 3-pentanol 등 5가지 성분은 알코올에 대한 나무좀류의 유인을 크게 억제하였다. 이러한 결과는 과수원 내부와 외부에 기피물질과 유인물질을 각각 처리하여 나무좀류를 효과적인 관리하는 “push-pull strategy” 수립에 유용한 정보를 제공할 것이다.

본 연구에서는 목화진딧물(Aphis gossypii)을 접종한 착색단고추(Capsicum annuum L.)에서 방출된 휘발성물질 및 칠성풀잠자리(Chrysopa cognata) 암컷이 분비한 휘발성물질에 대한 칠성풀잠자리 수컷의 반응이 조사되었다. Y-tube olfactometer에서 칠성풀잠자리 수컷 성충은 목화진딧물이 감염되어 있는 착색단고추에 더 많이 이끌렸고, 수 개의 뚜렷한 GC-EAD 반응을 보였다. 이들 GC-EAD 반응을 보인 피크에 대해 GC-MS 및 GC coupled NMR spectroscopy로 분석한 결과, 목화진딧물이 감염된 착색단고추로부터 4-ethylacetophenone, 3-ethylbenzaldehyde, 3-ethylacetophenone 및 4-ethylbenzaldehyde 그리고 칠성풀잠자리 암컷 성충으로부터 (Z,Z)-4,7-tridecadiene, (Z)-4-tridecene 및 (Z)-4-undecene 등이 동정되었다. 야외 포장시험에서 이들 물질 단독으로는 칠성풀잠자리에 대해 유인효과가 없었다. 암컷 성충에서 기원한 (Z)-4-tridecene와 (Z)-4-undecene은 칠성풀잠자리를 유인하지 못하였고, (Z,Z)-4,7-tridecadiene은 nepetalactol의 유인성을 감소시켰다. 하지만 3-ethylbenzaldehyde와 4-ethylacetophenone는 nepetalactol과 함께 혼합하면 칠성풀잠자리에 대한 유인성은 현저하게 증가하였다.

Artemisia scoparia (A. scoparia), perennial herb is indigenous to Korea and has been traditionally used in liver damage. We investigated the effect of the essential oil obtained from A. scoparia on apoptosis of KB cells. Cytotoxicity and cellular DNA content were analyzed by MTT assay and flow cytometry, agarose gel electrophoresis, and Hoechst 33258 staining. The caspase-3 and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) proteins were estimated by Western blotting method. We found that the essential oil induced the apoptosis of the KB cells by concentrations of 0.4 to 0.2 mg/ml which was verified by DNA fragmentation, apoptotic bodies, and the sub-G0/G1 ratio. The essential oil also transient caspase-9 and caspase-3 activity and cleavage of PARP in KB cells for 24 h. The essential oil-induced apoptotic cell death was accompanied by up-regulation of Bax and down-regulation of Bcl-2. In conclusion, we demonstrated that the essential oil of A. scoparia induces apoptosis in KB cells

"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.

In this study, we attempt to analyze biofilter"s removal efficiency for volatile organic compounds from paint factory. this experiment conducted in a pilot plant with microorganisms immobilized polyurethane foam. 7 main components (Toulene, MEK, MIBK, o-Xylene, m-Xylene, Butyl acetate, Ethyl benzene) emitted from factory ventilation opening were analyzed. During the test period, the biofilter treated VOCs in 5 seconds (EBCT) and pressure drop was less than 30 ㎜H₂O/m in media. Removal efficiencies of all components were between 80~90% in 10 days of operation and higher than 94% after 40 days. The result of this experiment shows that biofilter can be useful technology for VOCs removal in the paint industry.

오이모자이크바이러스(Cucumber Mosaic Virus, CMV)에 이병된 착색단고추(Capsicum annuum var. grossum) 의 휘발성 물질(Volatile organic chemicals, VOCs)에 대해 식물바이러스 매개충인 목화진딧물(Aphis gossypii)의 유인반응을 조사하였다. 착색단고추에 CMV를 즙액 접종, 진딧물 보독충을 이용한 접종 및 대조군으로 완충용액만 접종한 처리구와 진딧물 비보독충을 접종한 처리구를 배치하였다. 접종한 CMV와 중복 감염 여부를 우려하여 접종하지 않은 PepMoV를 RT-PCR로 각 단계에서 검정하였다. 분자검정은 상처효과(wounding effect)를 우려하여 유인반응 24시간 이전에 수행하였다. Gas chromatography 분석에 의해 CMV에 이병된 착색단고추는 접종 후 2주 또는 4주에 바이러스 감염에 따른 특이적인 VOCs를 확인할 수 있었다. 특히 접종 후 2주차에 즙액접종과 보독충 진딧물 접종 간에는 발병 특이적인 VOCs의 방출 패턴이 유의적으로 차이를 보였다. 이에 따라 이들 VOCs에 대한 진딧물의 유인 반응을 검정하고자 CMV 이병 식물과 건전 식물에 대한 목화진딧물 유시충의 Y-tube 유인 수를 조사하였다. 그러나 CMV 이병주의 VOCs에 대하여 목화진딧물의 특이적인 유인효과는 나타나지 않았으며, 다만 식물의 생장에 따른 유인수의 증가만 확인 되었다.

This study was conducted to investgate the effect of gamma irradiation on the lipid oxidation, olfactory properties, fatty acid isomer and volatile compound profiles of five different oil sources. Three plant oils, canola oil, corn oil and soy oil, and two animal fat, tallow and fish oil, were irradiated with 0, 5, 10, and 20 kGy level of dose by Co-60 as a radiation source. Lipid oxidation parameters, FFA, POV and TBARS, were determined according to the AACC and AOCS method. Olfactory property of irradiated oil sources was analyzed using electronic nose (FOX3000, AlphaMOS Co., France) with 12 metal oxide sensors and the result was interpreted using principle component analysis program. Fatty acid isomer profiles and volatile compound profiles of irradiated oils were also measured by GC and GC-MS, respectively. Although the free fatty acid level of oil were the highest by high dose level (20 kGy) of irradiation, changes of both TBARS and POV values by gamma irradiation were varied between oil sources and irradiation level of dose. Electronic nose analysis showed a distinct difference among dose levels of irradiation. Although there was no new volatile compound produced by gamma irradiation, amounts of each volatile compounds were increased by irradiation. Only cis isomer, 9c12c15c of linolenic acid was dose-dependently decreased as irradiation level increased but there was no difference among other isomer profiles of linoleic acid and linolenic acid by gamma irradiation. This study showed that changes in physico-chemical properties of both plant and animal oil were remarkable by gamma irradiation. Therefore, a further study should be needed to scrutinize the interaction among lipid oxidation, production of volatile compounds and off-flavor, and isomerization of fatty acid by gamma-irradiation.

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.

돼지 웅성 페르몬인 5a-androst-16-en-3-one을 대체할 수 있는 활성 분자를 탐색하여 가축의 생산과 수요를 조절하기 위한 생물학적 자극 통제 수단으로 활용하고자 냄새 분자로서 2-cyclohexyloxytetrahydrofurane (A) 및 2-phenoxytetrahydrofurane (B) 유도체들의 구조 변화와 수용체인 porcine odorant binding protein (pOBP)에 대한 결합친화력 상수(p[Od.]/sub 50/) 사이의 정량적인 구조-활성관계에 관한 분자 HQSAR 모델XI을 유도하였다. 냄새 분자 중에서 cyclohexyl-치환체(A)가 phenyl-치환체(B)보다 높은 결합 친화력을 나타내었으며(A>B) 모델XI은 분자 조각크기(5∼8), 홀로그램 길이(97 bin)의 키랄성(chirality)조건에서 예측성(q²=0.916)과 상관성(r²=0.988)이 매우 양호하였다. 기여도(contribution map)로부터 냄새 분자의 결합 친화력 상수에 기여하는 부분은 2-oxyfuryl group의 C3 및 C5 원자인 반면에 cyclohexyl 고리상 tert-butyl group의 중심 탄소 원자와 furyl group의 C4 원자 부분은 기여하지 않았다.

Volatile organic silicon compounds (namely as siloxanes) are impurities in biogas generated from landfill and biogas.They have been known to cause damages to gas combustion engines. However, factors affecting process design decisionshave been less studied. In this research, we experimentally determined the gas-liquid partition coefficients (Kp) of siloxanesby applied the equilibrium partition experiment in closed system. we also investigated the effects of liquid solutes onsiloxanes partitioning. Five different types of siloxanes and five different types of liquid solutes (distilled water, nutrientsolution, ferrous sulfate solution, and surfactant solutions) were selected for this study. Dimensionless gas-liquid partitioncoefficients of siloxanes were determined to be 8.808 for L2, 2.278 for L3, 1.455 for L4, 3.435 for D4, and 0.770 forD5. Partition coefficients varied by liquid solutes, Especially for surfactants as liquid solutes, mass transfer of siloxanesfrom gas to liquid was enhanced, showing the lowest coefficients of partitioning.

오늘날 다양한 산업분야와 군지기, 공장지역, 매립지 등에서 중금속과 휘발성 오염물질이 동시에 존재하여 심각한 환경오염을 유발하며 인간과 자연에 해를 끼쳐 세계적으로 규제가 강화되고 있다. 특히 p-Xylene은 토양매질에 흡착되지 않으며 노출 시 두통, 호흡장애 등을 유발하며 자정작용이 힘들고 이동속도가 느려 반영구적으로 존재한다. 납은 일상주변에서 접촉이 가능하며 체내에 쉽게 축적되어 신경계통을 마비시키며 뇌에 이상을 일으킨다. 현재 단일물질에 대한 제거는 많이 연구되고 있는 반면 복합오염물질에 대한 연구는 미비한 실정이며 오염물질에 대한 효과적인 제거를 위한 흡착제 개발이 필요하다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 망간산화물을 기반으로 하여 계면활성제와의 개질을 통해 TMA-birnessite를 합성하였으며 중금속과 휘발성 오염물질 제거를 판단하기 위해 대표적인 납과 p-Xylene을 이용하여 등온흡착실험과 동역학적실험을 하였다.

This study was designed to evaluate qualitatively and quantitatively the pollutant compositions, which were emitted from three types of mosquito repellents(MRs)(mat-, liquid-vaporized, and coil-type) by utilizing a 50-L environmental chamber. A qualitative analysis revealed that 42 compounds were detected on the gas chromatography/ mass spectrometer system, and that the detection frequency depended upon chemical types. Nine of the 42 compounds exhibited a detection frequency of 100%. Four aromatic compounds(benzene, ethyl benzene, toluene, and xylene) were detected in all test MRs. The concentration equilibriums in the environmental chamber were achieved within 180 min after sample introduction. The coil-type MR represented higher chamber concentrations as compared with the mat- or liquid-vaporized-type MR, with respect to the target compounds except for naphthalene. In particular, the chamber concentrations of ethyl benzene, associated with the use of coil-type MR, were between 0.9 and 65 mg m-3, whereas those of mat- and liquid-vaporized-type MRs were between 0.5 and 2.0 mg m-3and 0.3 and 1.4 mg m-3, respectively. However, naphthalene concentrations in the chamber, where a liquid-vaporized-type MR was placed, were measured as between 17.8 and 56.3 mg m-3, but not detected in the chamber, where a mat- or coil-type MR was placed. The empirical model fitted well with the time-series concentrations in the environmental chamber(in most cases, determination coefficient, R2 ≳ 0.9), thereby suggesting that the model was suitable for testing emissions. In regards to the target compounds except for benzene, although they were emitted from the MRs, health risk from individual exposure to them were estimated not to be significant when comparing exposure levels with no observed adverse exposure levels or lowest observed adverse exposure levels of corresponding compounds. However, it was concluded that the use of MRs could be an important indoor source as regards benzene.
