The HS/GC/MS method was performed to analyze the volatile organic compounds in waste sludge samples. This study was performed to establish the fundamental data by studying the effects of salt, equilibrium temperature and time in the volatile organic compounds analysis. The presence of salts have been found to increase the sensitivity. The peak area is increased from 1.07 to 2.61 times by adding the salts to the water sample, compared with a salt tree sample. The recoveries of target compounds have found between 90% and 127% at sample temperature of $85^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. This HS/GC/MS method can be applied to analyze the volatile organic compounds and organohalo compounds in the environmental matrix.

휘발성 유기물질(VOC)은 유기용제나 석유화학관련산업에서 배출되어 광화학스모그를 야기시킬 뿐 아니라 지하수와 토양을 오염시킨다. VOC물질중 대부분은 인체에 유해하여 1995년 대기환경보전법에서 VOC를 규제관리대상으로 선정하였다. 이와 같은 VOC를 제어하는 기술로는 흡착방법이 널리 이용되고 있으나 최종적으로 처리하기 위해서는 후처리시설이 필요하다. (중략)

급격한 도시화와 산업화는 필연적으로 화석연료의 사용량 증가를 초래하였고 적절한 제어 대책이 마련되지 않는 한 결과적으로 인구가 집중된 도시 지역에서는 각종 대기 오염물질과 함께 환경 대기중의 휘발성 유기화합물(Volatile Organic Compounds VOCs)의 농도도 직접 혹은 간접적으로 증가하고 있다. VOC는 스모그 형성의 주요 원인물질인 오존의 전구물질일 뿐만 아니라 현재개선이 되지 않고 있는 시정 장애와 관련이 있는 물질이고 최근 수치상의 대기질 개선에도 불구하고 실제 피부로 느껴지게 하는 주요 원인물질이다. (중략)

The migration potential of volatile organic solvents widely employed in the printing process of food packaging was investigated by using a closed experimental system, which contained a food sample and a paper sheet spiked with the contaminant solvents. The studied organic compounds included toluene and p,m,o-xylene which are relatively highly volatile. Typical food samples of caramel, beef jerky and butter were selected based on their chemical composition and were assigned to the migration system at 10, 25 and 4$0^{\circ}C$. The equilibrated migration level was very high with almost complete transfer in the butter with high fat, while caramel of high carbohydrate content and beef jerky of high protein showed migration degree of 37∼56% and 37∼77%, respectively. Temperature did significantly influence the migration on beef jerky with higher level at higher temperature. There was no difference in the migration level among the solvents.

도시대기 중의 광화학 대기오염의 원인인 동시에 사람의 건강상에 유해한 성분(발암성 혹은 돌연변이성)들이 많이 존재하는 것으로 알려진 대기오염물질 중에서도 탄화수소성분에 대한 관심이 최근들어 고조되고 있다. 메탄을 제외한 탄화수소성분을 총칭하여 비메탄계 탄화수소(NMHC)라고 일컫고 있으며, 비메탄계 탄화수소는 알데히드등의 산소화합물을 함유하고 있지 않지만, 휘발성 유기화합물(Volatile Organic Compounds;이하 VOCs)은 산소함유화합물을 포함한 물질을 말한다.(중략)

VOCs from the heat recovery ventilation system (total heat exchanger) are measured in this study. Two different types of element (L and M type) from heat recovery ventilating system are tested to study the intial release characteristics of VOCs under KS cooling and heating standard conditions. VOCs are measured for the various flow rates and different operating times. Considering errors in the test method and the measuring instrument, the tested heat recovery ventilating systems was found to release 6 major VOCs, such as acetic acid, 2-butanone (MEK), 2-(methylthio )ethylamine, toluene, styrene, and x-acids (Ion 57). The concentrations of released VOCs are not quite much affected by operating conditions. The results show much larger VOCs concentrations in the cooling mode than in the heating mode, due to the high operating temperatures.

A gas chromatography-mass spectrometric (GC-MS) assay method was developed for the rapid and sensitive determination of volatile- and semivolatile organic compounds in water. Two hundreds mL of water sample was extracted in a 250 mL separatory funnel with 1 ml of pentane at pH 6.5. Fluorobenzene and 1,2-dichlorobenzene-d4 as internal standards were added to water sample and the solution was mechanically shaken for 5 min and analyzed by GC-MS (selected ion monitoring) without more any concentration or purification steps. The peaks had good chromatographic properties and the extraction of these compounds from water also gave relatively high recoveries with small variations. The range of detection limits of the assay was 0.5-10 ng/L. Turnaround time for up to about 40 samples was one day. This method is simple, convenient, and can be learned easily by relatively inexperienced personnel. This method was used to analyze 15 volatile- and semivolatile organic compounds in water of a Lake, and raw and treated water from three Water Treatment Plants in Korea. As the analytical results, benzene, toluene, xylene, isopropylbenzene, 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene, 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene, naphthalene and 2,4,6-trichlorophenol were detected at concentrations of up to 0.4, 1.9, 1.3, 0.2, 1.8, 13.0, 1.7 and $1.1{\mu}g/L$, respectively. But chlorobenzene, trichloroethylene, tetrachloroethylene, ethylbenzene, n-butylbenzene and dibromochloropropane levels during that period were not significant. The removal effect of the compounds in three Water Treatment Plants was calculated. The compounds studied were generally removed during conventional water treatment, especially during the active carbon filtration.
