Sometimes the observed data is too small to discriminate it from noise of the instrument. Say, the data can be recorded as below DL(Detection Level) value. Even though the data below Detection Level(BDL) is small vague, it can be resulted in wrong estimates for mean and variance. However, in practice, the BDL data is generally eliminated as N.D. (Not Detected) and do not record it in Korea. This study investigates the distributions according to the data values of ammonia concentration (NH$_3$-N) in Puyeo intake. Also we try to find out DL value and an appropriate method for the estimations of mean and variance of BDL values that can be discriminate the distributions. The DL is estimated by trial and error method. The appropriate method for the estimations of mean and variance of above the detection level(ADL)and BDL dada sets is selected, and the mean and variance are estimated. As a result, it is found that the Bias Corrected Maximum Likelihood Estimator is the most accurate method for NH$_3$-N in Puyeo intake.

경상남도 합천군과 창녕군 생활용수 지하수 관정 개발시 지하수 굴착공종으로부터 얻어진 구간별 지층자료와 대수층 수질 자료를 획득하여 이용하는 방법을 연구하였다. 지층정보를 파악하기 위하여 지하수공 굴착심도 10m마다 슬라임을 채취하였으며, 대수층 관통시에 지하수 시료를 구간별로 채수하여 전기전도도 및 수질시료를 분석하였다. 경도가 높은 지역의 경우, 음용수 수질기준치에 적합한 지하수를 개발하기 위해서 대수층별 전기전도도를 분석측정하여 경도를 간접적으로 파악함으로써 지하수 굴착심도 결정에 이용하였다. 그리고 대수층 구간별 불소 농도를 파악하였으며, 불소 농도가 높은 대수층 구간에서는 하부대수층 메움 등을 실시하였다. 대수층의 수질검사결과에서 기준치를 초과하는 우려 인자들(불소, 경도, 증발잔류물, 질산성 질소, 철, 알루미늄, 아연 등)에 대한 수질기준 초과 가능성을 대비한 양수시험 모니터링을 설계함으로써 지하수공의 수질 특성 파악이 가능하였다. 양수시험과정에서 탁도가 시간에 따라 기준치 이하까지 감소하는 일반적인 경향과 기준치 이상에서 더 이상 감소하지 않는 경향에 대한 원인을 분석할 수 있었다.

1952년 런던 스모그 사건을 시작으로 대기오염이 인체 건강영향에 미치는 연구가 꾸준히 진행되면서 고농도의 대기오염에서뿐만 아니라 대기오염 기준치 이하의 농도에서도 사망자 수의 증가(Schwartz과 Dockery, 1992; Lee 등, 1999), 호흡기 및 심혈관계 질환 환자의 증가(Schwartz, 1994)등을 초래한다는 연구들이 최근 수 년간 일관성 있게 보고되고 있다(Stieb 등, 2002). 따라서 본 연구에서는 1998년 1월부터 2001년 12월까지의 7개 대도시(서울, 부산, 대구, 광주, 대전, 인천, 울산)의 일일사망자료와 환경측정 자료 및 기상자료를 이용하여 시계열 분석방법으로 대기오염물질이 일별 사망에 미치는 영향을 추정하고자 하였다.

The national geochemical baseline mapping project has been conducted since 1996 to establish a quantitative assessment system for geochemical hazards in natural environments. The geochemical image maps have been edited for thirty-six elements(i.e., 10 major oxides and 26 trace elements) in light sediments, finer fraction than 150 $\mu$m, collected from first- to second-order streams(totally 11,000) over five provinces in the western half(ca. 45,000 km$^2$) of Korea. Natural background values of the elements were given for different geological environments. Based on the statistics, geochemical baselines were newly obtained for a quantitative hazard assessment on toxicity of heavy metals and deficiency of essential nutrients. Some chosen examples of geochemical hazards are presented based on new geochemical image maps and related baseline data.

This study was carried out to examine the quality properties of honey in Korean commercial markets. The moisture content, stable carbon isotope ratio, invert sugar, cane sugar, and hydroxy-methylfurfural (HMF) contents of honey were measured according to the Korea Food Code and AOAC's (Association of Official Analytical Chemists) official methods. The stable carbon isotope ratio ranged from -25.18‰ to -12.60‰, which clearly differed between honey of $C_3$ origin (flower) and $C_4$ origin (artificial). Results of quality measurements revealed a moisture content of 18.12 to 19.70%, fructose content of 36.10 to 43.94%, glucose content of 22.61 to 31.91%, sucrose content of 1.56 to 4.75%, invert sugar content of 64.89 to 72.79%, and HMF content of 4.10 to 78.66 mg/kg. These values demonstrate that the quality of the tested honey meets the standard criteria of the Korean Food Code and Codex. However, it is necessary to reconsider the appropriate criteria for imported honey because it is circulated in the market through a long distribution process.

The purpose of this study is to provide basic data on the safety of Poria cocos, a major Korean herbal medicine, and to establish tolerance levels for hazardous substances. Residual pesticides (321 types), heavy metals (7 types), radioactivity (3 types), and ash content were analyzed in 10 Poria cocos products distributed in Korea (5 domestic and 5 in China). Of the residual pesticides, cypermethrin was detected at 0.03 mg/kg in one domestic sample and was below the standard value. Of the heavy metals, the levels of Zn, Pb, Ni, Cu, Hg, and Cr were below the standard values in all samples. Hg was not detected in any sample. Cd was detected at 0.011 mg/kg in one Chinese sample. The radioactivity concentration was also below the MDA value in all P. cocos samples. The ash content was less than the standard value of 1.0% in all P. cocos samples. The findings indicate that P. cocos distributed in Korea is safe. However, because P. cocos is always exposed to harmful substances because of the nature of its cultivation in the soil, it seems necessary to establish systematic management standards for the entire production stage, such as cultivation, storage, and distribution.

유도전동기(이하 $''$모터$''$라 한다)는 기본 원리가 19세기말에 발명된 이래 100년 이상의 역사를 갖고 있으며 그 동안 제조업의 기간동력으로 성장하여 왔고, 재료의 진보(코어, 전선, 절연 등)와 설계기술$\cdot$해석기술$\cdot$제조기술의 개발로 각 특성의 향상, 소형$\cdot$경량화, 고성능화가 도모되어 왔다. 그러나 최근의 지구온난화를 포함한 환경보호와 화석에너지 고갈위기감으로 에너지절약 움직임이 가속화되고 있어, 모터에 대해서도 고효율화의 요구가 높아가고 있다. 미국이나 캐나다에서는 규격이나 법률에 의한 모터의 효율규제가 실시되어, 특히 1997년 10월 24일에 시행된 미국에너지정책법(EPAct)은 미국 국내에서 제조$\cdot$판매 또는 해외로부터 수입되는 모터단체(단체)나 기계에 조립되어 있는 모터도 미국에너지정책법에서 규정하고 있는 효율기준치를 충족하지 못할 경우에는 벌칙이 부과되는 엄격한 실정이다. 일본에서는 종래 고효율모터의 효율기준치는 일본전기공업회 기술자료 제137호(성에너지를 위한 전동기의 선정과 운용)에 따르고 있었으나 미국에너지정책법을 기초로 새로히 일본공업규격(JIS C 4212)이 2000년 7월에 제정되었다. 미쓰비시(삼릉)전기는 일본의 JIS 규격과 EPAct법 양쪽의 효율기준치를 만족하는 고효율모터를 시리즈화하고 또한 미국에너지성의 적합증명번호(CC넘버)를 일본 국내 메이커로서는 처음으로 취득하였기에 다음에 고효율모터와 모터의 고효율화 기술에 대하여 소개한다.

To assess the safety of solar salts of Jeollanamdo province where most of Korean solar salts are produced, 433 samples of solar salts in total were collected and analyzed for their contents of sodium chloride and heavy metals (lead, cadmium, arsenic and mercury). Sodium chloride contents ranged from 80 to 85% in 63% of solar salts analyzed. Lead was not detected in 77% of solar salt samples and showed a value of below the maximum permissible limit (2 ppm) in other samples. Cadmium was not detected in most samples (78%), and the other samples where cadmium was detected showed a value far below the maximum permissible limit (0.5 ppm) except for three ones. Arsenic was detected in only four samples, but their concentrations were far below the permissible limit (0.1 ppm). Mercury was not detected in all samples. There were some differences between producing areas in the levels of sodium chloride and lead of solar salts, but the contents of cadmium, arsenic and mercury did not show significant regional differences. These results clearly indicate that solar salts produced from Jeollanamdo province are safe in the aspects of lead, cadmium, arsenic and mercury contents.

Civil appeals on odor from swine barn have been increasing. This study was conducted to compile basic data of odor from swine barns as civil appeals on odor have been increasing. Odor was monitored from two gestating sow barns and the boundary of those barns in Suwon and Hwaseong city from June to November, 2008. Mean ammonia concentration measured at the boundary of A piggery in Suwon city was 0.9 ppm with occasional breaks of permissible limit (1.0 ppm). Mean concentrations of hydrogen sulfide and methyl mercaptan were 0.37 ppb and 0.01 ppb, which were lower than permissible limits of 20 ppb and 2 ppb, respectively. Mean ammonia concentration was 3.22 ppm and was maintained under 5.0 ppb. Ammonia concentration had increased since November when the barns were closed. Hydrogen sulfide and methyl mercaptan were lower than the permissible limits. Mean ammonia concentration measured at the boundary of B piggery in Hwaseong city was 16.3 ppm and steep increase of concentration was monitored after October when the barn was sealed up. Hydrogen sulfide and methyl mercaptan were 26.66 ppb and 7.45 ppb, respectively. In appropriate ventilation and raising environment would cause high ammonia concentration in swine barns. Emitted ammonia from barns and composting facilities were mixed, which would cause higher ammonia concentration on the boundary of barns. Hence improvement of raising environment, rapid manure treatment, and correct use of microbial preparation would be needed.
