A bacterium, capable of the degradation of trimethylamine(TMA), dimethylamine, and methylamine, was isolated from an enrichment culture on TMA basal mineral medium. The isolate was identified as Methylobacterium some carbon-carbon bonds compounds like malate, succinate, betaine. When the strain was immobilized to earthworm cast, the biofilter could remove the gaseous TMA of SV $30h^{-1}$, concentration of 120ppm, continuously.

사회가 고도로 발달하면서 현대인의 생활공간은 대부분 사무실이나 가정에서 보내는 시간이 하루의 80-90% 이상을 차지하므로 오히려 실외공기보다 실내환경의 공기오염이 수백 배 높은 실정이다1). 대부분의 시간을 특정공간에서 보내게 되므로 현대인의 건강과 편리함을 위해 실내공간에 설치되는 탈취제품(공기 청정기)이 많이 상품화 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 암모니아(NH$_3$), 트리메틸아민(($CH_3$)$_3$N), 초산($CH_3$COOH), 황화수소(H$_2$S), 메칠멀켑탄($CH_3$SH), 황화메틸 ($CH_3$S$CH_3$), 이황화메틸($CH_3$SS$CH_3$), 아세트알데히드($CH_3$CHO), styrene(C$_{8}$H$_{8}$)등 9종의 악취물질을 대상으로 탈취제품의 객관적인 탈취 능력 평가를 위한 시험방법을 개발하고자 하였다.(중략)

The emission characteristics of odorous compounds discharged from the major environmental treatment facilities in Chungju were closely investigated by an ammonia passive sampler and by analyzing a questionnaire of the public complains. Amongst the four major emission sources, the manure treatment facility showed the highest concentration. The major components were sulfur compounds including H$_2$S, tri-methyl amine, and aldehydes. The foodwaste treatment processes releases sulfur compounds and aldehydes. Municipal waste water treatment facility emits a high concentration of acetaldehyde. It was found that the perceived odor level depends on the meteorological condition, and the odor intensity was higher at midnight than daytime.

The usage of efficient microorganism (EM) is increasing in concern for server purposes including odor removal during carcasses degradation. In this study, we have studied the type of soil and its effect on efficient microorganisms for the removal of odorous gases during buried carcasses degradation in lab-scale reactor. The carcasses are buried in the reactor with various soil types such as normal soil, 20% sandy and 20% clay soil with the efficient microorganism KEM. The efficient microorganisms KEM have the ability to stabilize the degradation of carcasses of the burial site. We have focused on the analysis of odorous gases such tri-methylamine (TMA), hydrogen sulfide ($H_2S$), methyl mercaptan (MM), dimethyl sulfide (DMS), dimethyl disulfide (DMDS), carbon dioxide ($CO_2$), and methane ($CH_4$) along with the changes of microbial community changed during complete degradation of buried carcasses for a year. The results suggested that the 20% sandy soil contain lesser level of $H_2S$ and MM (0.09 and 0.35 mg) but 20% clay has higher nitrogen compound removing effect and leave only less amount of ammonia and TMA (0.31 and 2.06 mg). The 20% sandy soil also has the ability to breakdown the carcasses more quality compared with other types of soil. Based on the data obtained in this study suggesting that, the use of 20% sandy soil can effectively control sulfur compounds whereas 20% clay soil controls nitrogen compounds in the buried soil. Depending on the type of the soil, the dominant of microbial communities and the distribution was change.
