생물학적으로 활성이 있는 물질들의 생체 내 대사를 이해하고 인체 독성 및 질환의 발현을 예측할 수 있는 가장 좋은 시험방법은 생체 내 독성 평가법이다. 담배연기의 생체 내 독성 평가법에는 14일 흡입독성시험, 90일 흡입독성 시험 및 피부도말 종양발생 시험 등이 있다. 90일 흡입독성 시험은 담배의 일반적인 독성 정보를 제공한다. 생체 내 독성평가는 담배 첨가물, 재료품 또는 제품 설계를 변경할 경우 담배연기 독성이 증가 또는 감소되었는 지를 평가할 수 있으며 이 결과는 제품보증에 활용될 수 있다. 캐나다의 독성평가자료 제출 및 EU 등의 담배첨가물에 대한 규제는 향 후 이런 생체 내 시험에 대한 지속적이고도 구체적인 요구를 할 것으로 사료된다.

In this study, natural extract including Phellodendro namurense, Eucommia ulmides Oliv and Prunus padus were tested for antimicrobial activity and safety. Antimicrobial activity was measured by using opportunistic microbes such as Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli and Candida albicans. As safety test, cell viability test, single dose oral toxicity test, single dose inhalation toxicity test, repeat dose inhalation toxicity test and eye irritation test were done. From antimicrobial test, natural extract showed execellent antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Candida albicans, Escherichia coli. From 5 kinds of safety tests, toxicity was not observed. From experimental results, natural extract including Phellodendro namurense, Eucommia ulmides Oliv and Prunus padus showed superb safety and antimicrobial effect.

Green algae are important primary producers in aquatic ecosystem, and they are sensitive test species in bioassay. Green algae are broadly used to assess the adverse effects of various chemicals by measuring the inhibition of metabolism, reproduction and survival. In this study, we extensively gathered domestic and foreign toxicity test methods conducted using green algae, which are distributed in Korean water environment. Selected eight domestic green algae were Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, Desmodesmus subspicatus (=Scenedesmus subspicatus), Scenedesmus abundans, Scenedesmus acutus, Scenedesmus quadricauda, Podohedriella falcata (=Ankistrodesmus falcatus), Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata (=Selenastrum capricornutum), and Chlorella vulgaris. Forty four test methods were collected from the standard test ones, government reports, SCI papers and Korean research papers. P. subcapitata and D. subspicatus are the most common test species recommended by the standard test methods. Initial cell density and dilution water were the main differences among the test methods we collected. We proposed the suitable ecotoxicity test methods based on domestic green algae in Korea. This study could be a fundamental basis to establish the ecotoxicity test methods by green algae distributed in Korea.

This study conducted acute oral toxicity test and acute dermal toxicity test to evaluate the toxicity of lightweight and high-strength cement composite containing carbon nanotube. It was compared with the toxicity of ordinary concrete that did not contain carbon nanotube. Both lightweight and high-strength cement composite and ordinary concrete were categorized in GHS category 5 as a result of acute oral toxicity test. In addition, no toxic symproms were observed during the acute dermal toxicity test in all specimens, concluding that those were judged to correspond to GHS category 5/unclassified.

The Ministry of Environment plans to introduce the Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) system in Korea. The WET test is well established in developed countries with recognizing of the limitations of physicochemical analysis method and potential risk of chemicals in water medium. Therefore, it is essential to build the ecotoxicity infrastructure for the induction of WET test. In this study, we extensively collected the domestic and foreign toxicity test methods which employ native test species to Korea. And we suggested that the domestic ecotoxicity test methods with domestic test species in Korea through extracting the range of test conditions. Five domestic fish species selected were Carassiu auratus (Crucian carp), Cyprinus carpio(Common carp), Gasterosteus aculeatus (Three spine stickleback), Misgurnus anguillicaudatus (Oriental weather fish) and Oryzias latipes (Japanese medaka), The toxicity test methods with native test species to Korea were collected from the standard methods (OECD, U.S. EPA, ASTM), government reports, SCI papers and domestic papers. We collected the 32 test methods, and suggested the suitable aquatic toxicity test methods for fish. It is expected that this study could prove a useful information to establish the ecotoxicity test methods with domestic aquatic organisms in Korea henceforth.

Water fleas are very important organisms in aquatic ecosystem because they are key constituents of food webs as either glazers or foods for predators. Daphnia magna is a representative test species and it has been extensively used in ecotoxicity evaluation. However, Daphnia magna has not been found yet in Korean water environment. There are limitations of using the foreign species such as Daphnia magna to reflect domestic situations in Korea. Consequently it is mandatory to find domestic species suitable for bioassay, and to develop corresponding toxicity test methods using the domestic species. In this study, we widely collected the domestic and foreign toxicity test methods performed by using domestic water fleas in Korea. The 58 test methods were collected from the standard methods (OECD, US EPA, ASTM), government reports, SCI papers and domestic papers. Ten domestic water fleas selected were Bosmina longirostris, Ceriodaphnia dubia, Ceriodaphnia reticulata, Daphnia obtusa, Daphnia puex, Moina macrocopa, Moina micrura, Simocephalus mixtus, Simocephalus serrulatus, and Simocephalus vetulus. We suggested the domestic ecotoxicity test methods using domestic water fleas in Korea through providing a range of test conditions, and future directions for toxicity test using water flea. This study could be a useful basis for establishing the aquatic toxicity test methods with domestic organisms in Korea.

신의약품의 생식독성 평가를 위해서는 타독성시험의 경우와 마찬가지로 NOEL (no observed effect level) 의 범위를 확립하는 일이 매우 중요한데, 이것은 정상치(control values), 자연발생소견 (spontaneous findings)등과 비교함으로서 가능하다. SPF 동물을 이용한 독성실험은 선진국에 비해 역사가 짧을 뿐만 아니라 아직 풍부한 기초자료가 확립되지 않아 외국의 자료들을 인용하고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 랫트를 이용한 최기형 시험결과의 효율적인 평가를 위해 생식독성 검사항목의 기초 데이타를 확립하였다. 이를 위해 화학연구소 실험동물육종실에서 입수한 SPF: Sprague- Dawley 랫트를 이용해 1989년부터 1991년까지 실시한 생식독성 시험의 대조준 데이타 (체중, 사료소비량, 장기중량, 제왕절개성적, 외표, 내부장기 및 골격검사성적, 자연분만군 시험성적 등)를 분석하였다. 요늑의 발현율, 견인력 시험결과 및 피모발생 일평이 외국의 타 연구기판 데이타와 다소 차이를 나타냈을 뿐 기타 항목들은 거의 일치하는 정상치를 보였다. 아울러 기형, 변이, 골화지연 등으로 구분되는 골격소견의 합리적인 평가를 위해 랫트 골격소견 평가기준을 정했고 최기형 시험에서 얻어지는 데이터의 통계처리 방법을 보완, 체계화하였다. 본 연구결과는 Sprague-Dawley 계통 랫트외 생물학적 정외는 물론 효율적인 생식독성 평가를 위한 소중한 기초 자료가 될 것으로 사료된다.

We investigated methiozolin acute toxicity using with Sprague-Dawley rats. The results of acute oral toxicity using rats showed $LD_{50}$ value of over 2,000 mg/kg bw for methiozolin. The calculate acute dermal $LD_{50}$ value of methiozolin was over 4,000 mg/kg. The skin irritation test showed moderately irritation and weak response of eye irritation test was observed in this experimental condition. According to these results, We concluded that methiozolin was Category IV in GHS chemical classification for acute toxicity. Future, we need more chronic toxicity test for safety.

This study suggests ways to improve the standard test method and judgment criterion for the "Eco-toxicity Test" based on the rules and regulations provided in 'performance and qualifying test standards for marine pollution prevention materials and chemicals' in the Republic of Korea. Compared with the relevant references of other countries, this study attempted to find the limitations in the existing standards. As for the growth inhibition test of algae using Skeletonema costatum as an indicator, applying comparative analysis to measure specific growth rates, together with statistical analysis, instead of applying current methods, judged by the appearance of colors from the culture medium was suggested. Considering the exponential growth phase of the test species, the test duration was suggested to be reduced to less than four days. For the test with fish as an indicator, resetting the appropriate body size was suggested to, show consistent sensitivity against chenicals applied during testing. Furthermore, it is necessary to consider the criteria needs, which should be established in reasonable and objective ways. For the testing species, marine rotifer, Brachionus plicatilis could be a replacement for Artemia sp., and a bivalve for fish in the test. To improve the performance effectiveness of the "Eco-toxicity test", it is worth considering the designation of accredited testing institutes, by placing it in the same loop. Thus it is also expected to have a reliable management system in place, having the capacity of cost calculation properly and adjusting testing items if required.
