Objectives : The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of bamboo charcoal on Streptococcus mutans which is one of the most important causative agents of dental caries. Methods : S. mutans was incubated with or without bamboo charcoal and then changes were observed in its cell viability and antibacterial effect. Oral epithelial cells viabillity(human gingival fibroblast, HGF) was performed using MTT assay. Antibacterial effect was analyzed using a dilution plating method and agar diffusion method. Results : Oral epithelial cells, human gingival fibroblast (HGF) showed a tendency to increase in bamboo charcoal treatment solution concentrations(0.5, 1, 2, 3, 5, 10%). The bamboo charcoal had an antibacterial effect on S. mutans. Antibacterial effect of bamboo charcoal for the bacterium was 58%. Charcoal concentration of 2% and 5% in the inhibition zone showed a minimal growth, but the concentration of 10% bamboo charcoal in inhibition zone revealed a conspicuous antibacterial activity. Conclusions : Overall results suggested that the bamboo charcoal proved to be bactericidal effect on S. mutans.

The purposes of this study were to investigate characteristic changes on nonwoven fabric by the charcoal printing. It separate grind charcoal as two different size of particles 45-52${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and 53-65${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ for hand screen printing on three kind of nonwoven fabrics. To examine the effect of charcoal printing on nonwoven fabric were to obselve surface changes by a scanning electron microscope, dyeability by using spectrophotometer, moisture regain by oven method, air permeability, anion property, deodoriration and antibacterial activity. The results were as follows： When charcoal powder concentration increased from 3 to 9％, K/S value also increased from 3.06 to 8.55. When charcoal concentration increased, moisture regain also increased. In same concentration, moisture regain occurred higher as particle of small size. Air permeability decreased when the charcoal printing concentration increased. Anion occurrence appeared 140-160ion/cc from three different kinds of nonwoven fabrics in 3％ and 9％ charcoal concentration. Therefore, occurred anion ineffectively. In concentration of 3％, rate of deodorization measured as 89％, 83％ and 87％, and 9％ concentration caused 96％, 86％ and 93％ of high deodorization. Antibacterial activity examination in nonfinished nonwoven fabric resulted range of 60％, however, 3％ and 9％ concentration finished nonwoven fabric resulted 99.9％ of excellent antibacterial activity.

In order to activate the characteristics of charcoals in fiber systems, this study was carried out to experiment with the particle size from two micrometers to ten micrometers of charcoal powders on silk fabrics. The results obtained were as follows; The silk fabrics were dyed with gray color by charcoals effectively. The K/S value, that is indicative of the dye affinity, became higher as the increase of dyeing temperature, dyeing time, and dyeing concentration. Te dyeing effects were the highest with 50%(o.w.f.) of charcoals at $100^{\circ}C$ for 120 minutes in this experiments, It was observed the surfaces of silk fibers were mainly adcorbed with charcoal powders of the particle size from two micrometers to four micrometers by scanning electron microscope. Dyed silk fabrics showed comparatively low fastness to the fade of launding, the stain of the treatment of perspirations, and the strain of water fastness test, but good fastness to the stran of laundering, te drycleaning, the fade of treatment of perspirations, and the fade of water fastness test. In connection with the functional properties of dyed fabrics, the deodorizations were drastically improved, and the far-infrared emissions improved highly, and also the antibacterials were comparatively good.

Bamboo is representing environmentally friendly building finishing materials as proven in the former researches. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the application properties of cementitious materials modified with bamboo charcoal as building finish materials. Flow test in fresh condition was conducted to assess the workability. Compressive and bending strength were measured after harding. As the thermal properties, thermal conductivity and density were measured. The properties were surpassing over them in case of using the pine charcoal in every tests. The thermal conductivity of them increased with the modified ratio. After the modified ratio 50%, the thermal conductivity decreased. Insolation and absorption performance is due to the lower density by modification of bamboo charcoal.

An increase in carbon emissions leads to the problem of global warming and is an issue to be solved in other countries. The problem of carbon dioxide has many effects not only on global warming but also on people. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 4.3 million people have died because harmful substances generated indoors cannot be discharged to the outside and accumulate in the human body through the respiratory tract. In response to this situation, in order to reduce the generation of pollutants in the building itself, soak into lightweight bubble concrete to adsorb and purify indoor pollutants, mix charcoal, investigate the appropriate amount and physical characteristics, and check carbon dioxide This is an experiment for grasping the adsorption capacity, and the results are as follows. As the replacement rate of rice husk charcoal increased, the compressive strength tended to decrease, and the carbon dioxide reduction rate tended to increase. It is judged that the charcoal of rice husks shows a low density and the physical adsorption is smooth due to the porous structure. Since it is excellent in the basic physical properties and carbon dioxide adsorption surface of this experiment, it is judged that it has sufficient potential for use as an indoor finishing material.

Atmospheric nitrous oxide ($N_2O$) level has been increasing at a rate of 0.2~0.3% per year. The rise in $N_2O$ concentration in atmosphere was mainly due to an increased application of nitrogen fertilizers. The objective of the study was to assess the effect of green manure crop and biochar on $N_2O$ emissions from upland crop field. The green manure crop used in the study was hairy vetch and the cultivated crop was red pepper (Capsicum annuum L.). Nitrogen was applied at a rate of $190kg\;ha^{-1}$, standard N fertilization rate for red pepper. Emissions of $N_2O$ from the field were reduced from the plots applied with hairy vetch and biochar by 46.5% and 24.6%, respectively, compared with nitrogen fertilizer treated plots with $N_2O$ emission of $1.14kg\;N_2O-N\;ha^{-1}$. The results from the study imply that green manure crop and biochar can be utilized to reduce greenhouse gas emission from the upland crop field.

감, 밤껍질, 포도, 숯, 쪽, 오배자로 빛깔을 내는 천연염색. 홍루까(54세) 쪽염색 염색가는 자연의 재료를 모아 건강한 색을 만든다. 천연염색은 인위적으로 만들어낸 색과 다르게 자연을 보는 듯한 자연스러움이 있고 항균성, 소취성, 항알레르기 등 건강한 기능까지 가지고 있다. 지난 10월 18일 한복아카데미에서 천연염색 강의를 진행하고 있는 홍루까 염색가를 만나 천연염색에 대한 이야기를 들어봤다.

마음에 맞는 사람들과 우리나라의 아름다움 속으로 떠나는 여행이 얼마나 즐거운지를 알려주는 리얼리티 쇼 <1박2일>. <1박2일>은 좋은 경치를 보여주는 것 못지않게 먹는 즐거움이 얼마나 큰 것인지도 잘 보여주는 프로그램이다. 특히 이승기가 만든 '비어치킨'과 같은 특별한 메뉴를 보면서 시청자들도 강호동처럼 군침을 흘리게 된다. 그릴 위에서 지글지글 익어가는 고기는 야외에서 즐길 수 있는 큰 기쁨 중 하나임에 분명하다. 하지만 이렇게 숯불에 구어지는 바비큐를 발암물질 덩어리라고 찝찝하게 여기는 사람도 간혹 있다. 숯에서 나는 연기와 불에 탄 고기에 발암물질이 포함되어 있기 때문이다. 그렇다면 과연 발암물질 때문에 바비큐를 멀리해야 하는 것일까7

황토는 주로 가는 모래로 되어 있어서 다량의 석영, 장석, 운모 등 다양한 광물 입자로 구성되어 있고 탄산칼슘(CaCO₃), 철(Fe), 마그네슘(Mg), 나트륨(Na), 칼리(K) 등의 성분으로 되어 있다. 황토는 다양한 약성원소를 포함하고 있다. 그것은 특히 제독 능력을 높여줄 뿐 아니라 항균 작용도 하며, 지혈제인 동시에 응고제로 매우 뛰어난 치료효과를 보여준다. 황토의 효능은 숯의 효능과 다를 바가 없으며, 어느 것이 더 우월한 지에 대한 비교를 할 수 없을 정도로 그 약성에 있어서 유사하다. (중략)
