Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the status of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) used on ships and to consider measures for preventing worker exposure to asbestos fibers. Methods: A total of 17 ships including 16 ships under repair and a ship under construction at shipyards in Korea were investigated. Bulk samples were collected from suspected ACMs on engine exhaust pipes, boiler steam pipes, generator exhaust pipes, and etc. in ships in order to identify the presence of ACMs. Types and contents of asbestos were determined using polarized light microscopy (PLM). Results: ACMs were found from 14 ships out of 17 ships investigated. Only chrysotile asbestos was found from all samples. ACMs were mainly found from samples collected at the exhaust pipes of the engine, generator and incinerator, and boiler steam pipes where exhaust gases or steam of high temperature pass through. In most cases, types of ACMs were asbestos-containing fabrics such as asbestos tape. Friable ACMs were also found in some cases. Use of ACMs on ships was relevant to built time and owner of the ships rather than type and tonnage of the ships. Conclusions: ACMs were found from most ships built prior to 2000s. Therefore, measures for preventing asbestos-related diseases such as preparation of asbestos map on the ship and installation of warning signs, hazard communication with workers (ship-repairing workers, engine room workers and etc.), and follow-up for worker's health management are needed.

This study was conducted to analyze the relationship between the types of fiber and its content and the levels of airborne fiber concentrations at eight parking lots where sprayed insulation material was found on the walls and ceilings. Also this study was designed to find the relationship between the levels of airborne fiber concentrations and such variables as air current, humidity, total exhaust volume, surface condition of insulation material and building age. The results obtained were as follows : 1. No significant correlation was found between the levels of airborne tiber concentration and the building age, air current, humidity, total exhaust volume, space and the number of traffics. 2. A significant correlation was found between the levels of airborne fiber concentration and the MMMF content of the insulation material(r=0.7594). However, no significant correlation was found between the levels of airborne fiber concentration and total fiber content of insulation material. 3. The differences of the airborne fiber concentrations among Cateogory 1, 2 and 3 classified by the degrees of surface insulation material maintenance were very significant. 4. Two bulk samples contained 30% crodicolite and 1% anthophylite. The MMMFs, in all parking lots, included mineral wool, cellulose fiber, trace cellulose fiber, trace tiber glass and vermiculite. 5. The mean value and the range of airborne fiber concentrations at 8 parking lots were $0.0239{\pm}0.0095f/cc$ and 0.0054-0.0447 f/cc, respectively. The fiber concentrations of 35 out of 38 samples(92%) were over 0.01 f/cc which is the Environment Administration's recommended asbestos level for the underground space. This study suggests that most of building insulation materials used in Korea, contain MMMF and sometimes asbestos. Currently, MMMF pollution levels may exceed the Environment Administration's recommended level for underground space. It has been found that airborne fiber concentrations increased significantly with MMMF content and with the maintenance condition of surface material. Therefore, it is recommended that a proper management technique should be developed and immediately implemented since the conditions of surface material will be gradually deteriorated due to building age and usage. Since health hazards of the MMMF, similar to those of asbestos, are being gradually acknowledged, a proper management technique which is applicable to control total airborne fiber concentrations, both asbestos and MMMF, be developed and an acceptable indoor air standard be promulgated as early as possible.

중산동 유적은 선캠브리아기의 석영편암층과 운모편암층에 걸쳐 분포하며, 풍화층에는 운모, 석영, 장석, 각섬석 및 녹니석 등 다양한 비가소성 광물이 다량 포함되어 유적지의 지반을 형성하고 있다. 중산동 유적 신석기시대 토기는 다양한 갈색계열을 보이며, 일부 시료는 속심과 내면을 따라 흑심이 발달하고 예리한 빗살시문과 손누름 자국이 관찰된다. 이들은 비가소성 입자의 조성과 입도 및 분급과 원마도가 다양하여 특징적 광물조성에 따라 4 유형으로 세분하였다. I-형은 장석질 토기로 장석이 주성분이며 석영과 운모를 포함하기도 한다. II-형은 운모질 토기로 녹니석화된 운모류, 활석과 투각섬석 및 투휘석의 조합을 이룬다. III-형은 활석질 토기로 미량의 석영과 운모를 동반한다. IV-형은 석면질 토기로 투각섬석과 미량의 활석을 포함한다. 중산동 토기는 내외면의 색상이 다소 불균질하다. I-형 토기군은 장석류 함량에 따라 적색 및 황색도에 차이가 있으며, III-형 토기군과 유사하다. II-형은 적색도가 다소 높아 IV-형과 유사하다. 유적지 토양은 토기에 비해 적색 및 황색도가 높다. 전암대자율은 0.088~7.360(${\times}10^{-3}$ SI unit)의 넓은 범위이나, 각 유형별 주성분 광물에 따라 구분된다. 토기의 부피비중과 흡수율은 1.6~1.7 및 13.1~26.0%의 범위를 보인다. 각 유형별 토기군은 I-형의 유기물 고착시료 < III-형 및 IV-형 < I-형 < II-형 (IV-형의 IJP-15 포함)의 순으로 공극률과 흡수율이 증가하며 뚜렷한 영역 차이를 보였다. 이는 비가소성 입자의 종류와 입도 등에 따라 물리적 성질의 차이가 나타나기 때문이다. 중산동 토기는 다양한 재료의 혼합으로 이루어져 있으나, 유적지 토양은 중산동 토기가 갖는 모든 광물조성을 공급할 수 있는 지질조건을 갖추고 있다. 따라서 원료는 유적지 주변 석영편암과 운모편암의 풍화대에서 수급이 가능하였을 것으로 판단된다. 그러나 구성광물, 입도 및 암편이 다양한 양상을 보여 원료 채취장소가 여러 곳이었을 가능성이 높으며, 이에 따른 점토화 및 풍화도의 차이가 있는 것으로 해석할 수 있다.
