This study, funded by Jeju Special Self-Governing Province, evaluated the bacterial contamination in disposable wet wipes used in restaurants, coffee shops, and bakery shops. The materials used are 55 disposable wet wipes collected from general restaurants. The number of average bacteria found was $4.21{\times}10^3CFU/mL$ in 50 disposable wet wipes; in the other five disposable wet wipes, no bacterial contamination was found. The highest number of bacteria was measured as $16.67{\times}10^3CFU/mL$. Total bacterial count of separated are 71 strains. Among the 71 identified strains, 15 were Staphylococcus aureus and 3 were Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This can be an important problem. This study measured the level of bacterial contamination and identified the strains isolated in wet wipes. This study may be important as it provides the basis for establishing sanitation standars for wet wipes.

Disposable wet wipes provided by general restaurants in the Jeju Special Self-Governing Province were evaluated for compliance with the labeling requirements and the degree of bacterial contamination set by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety. Of the 32 types of disposable wipes, five types of disposable wipes did not indicate the name and location of the business office of the manufacturer. Only 12 types of wet wipes were marked with the date of manufacture and expiration date. Bacterial contamination was seen in 9 types of wet wipes through bacterial culture but these were absent in the remaining 23 types (71.9%). The results of the antimicrobial susceptibility test for the 9 identified strains showed no methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci (MRCNS) or multidrug-resistant bacteria. Through this study, it is recommended that the date of manufacture and expiration date must be indicated on the surface of disposable wet wipes designated as hygiene products, and clean uncontaminated wet wipes must comply with storage standards. In addition, the results are expected to contribute to the enhancement and improvement of hygiene management supervision, personal hygiene management, and an improvement in national health.

In this study, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of wet tissue manufacturing process was performed. The wet tissue manufacturing process consists of preparation of wetting agent (chemical liquid), impregnation of nonwoven fabric into wetting agent and primary and secondary packaging. Data and information were collected on the input and output of the actual process from a certain company and the database of the Korea Ministry of Environment and some foreign countries (when Korean unavailable) were employed to connect the upper and the lower process flow. Based on the above and the potential environmental impacts of the wet tissue manufacturing process were calculated. As a result of the characterization, Ozone Layer Depletion (OD) is 3.46.E-06 kg $CFC_{11}$, Acidification (AD) is 5.11.E-01 kg $SO_2$, Abiotic Resource Depletion (ARD) is $3.52.E+00\;1yr^{-1}$, Global Warming (GW) is 1.04.E+02 kg $CO_2$, Eutrophication (EUT) is 2.31.E-02 kg ${PO_4}^{3-}$, Photochemical Oxide Creation (POC) was 2.22.E-02 kg $C_2H_4$, Human Toxicity (HT) was 1.55.E+00 kg 1,4 DCB and Terrestrial Ecotoxicity (ET) was 5.82.E-04 kg 1,4 DCB. In order to reduce the environmental impact of the manufacturing process, it is necessary to improve the overall process as other general cases and change the raw materials including packaging materials with less environmental impact. Conclusively, the energy consumed in the manufacturing process has emerged as a major issue, and this needs to be reconsidered other options such as alternative energy. Therefore, it is recommended that a process system should be redesigned to improve energy efficiency and to change to an energy source with lower environmental impact. Due to the nature of LCA, the final results of this study can be varied to some extent depending on the type of LCI DB employed and may not represent of all wet tissue manufacturing processes in the current industry.

This study was prepared for a natural aroma solution for the purpose of improving depression, anxiety, and insomnia caused by stress in modern people, and applied the solution to wet tissues. Specifically, the pine oil solution was prepared by mixing Korean pine oil and black cherry oil. Heavy metal analysis, antibacterial analysis, psychological evaluation, and skin evaluation were performed on the prepared pine oil solution to examine the possibility of manufacturing functional aroma wet tissues for stress improvement. Furthermore, as a result of investigating whether pine oil solution wet tissues improved the skin, it was found that there was an improvement effect in terms of moisturizing and elasticity.

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficiency of bacteria removal of three different types of hand washing methods. This study performed a convenient sampling of 30 volunteers in cross-over design. The study divided the 30 volunteers into three random groups. The three groups were asked to use antiseptic soap, alcohol-based hand disinfectant, and disposable wet wipes respectively. The result of the study showed that mean log reduction values after each had washing method were $-0.45({\pm}0.69)$ with antiseptic soap and water, $-1.19({\pm}0.52)$ with alcohol-based hand disinfectant and $-0.75({\pm}0.58)$ with disposable wet wipes. The difference was statistically significant when using alcohol-based hand disinfectant compared to the other two methods (p=0.000). According to this study, alcohol-based hand disinfectant was the most effective product based on bacteria removal for hand washing. Advantages of using alcohol-based hand disinfectant are that it is cost-effective and easy to buy, also eco-friendly. Therefore, to prevent infectious disease, providing alcohol-based hand disinfectant to every corner of the community will be very helpful.
