A nuclear, biological, chemical (NBC) canister was indigenously developed using active carbon impregnated with ammoniacal salts of copper (II), chromium (VI) and silver (I), and high efficiency particulate aerosol filter media. The NBC canister was evaluated against carbon tetra chloride ($CCl_4$) vapours, which were used as a simulant for persistent chemical warfare agents under dynamic conditions for testing breakthrough times of canisters of gas masks in the National Approval Test of Respirators. The effects of $CCl_4$ concentration, test flow rate, temperature, and relative humidity (RH) on the breakthrough time of the NBC canister against $CCl_4$ vapour were also studied. The impregnated carbon that filled the NBC canister was characterized for surface area and pore volume by $N_2$ adsorption-desorption isotherm at liquid nitrogen temperature. The study clearly indicated that the NBC canister provides adequate protection against $CCl_4$ vapours. The breakthrough time decreased with the increase of the $CCl_4$ concentration and flow rate. The variation in temperature and RH did not significantly affect the breakthrough behaviour of the NBC canister at high vapour concentration of $CCl_4$, whereas the breakthrough time of the NBC canister was reduced by an increase of RH at low $CCl_4$ vapour concentration.

Three-dimensional finite element analyses were used to compare the stress distribution and the stability of the fixation among seven different tibial components and to investigate the effect due to implant materials in total knee arthroplasty. The components included an intact tibia(Type I), Cemented Cobalt-Chromium tibial tray implanted with a PMMA cemented Co-Cr stem(Type II), Cemented Co-Cr tibial tray with a uncemented Co-Cr stem(Type III), Cemented Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) tibial tray with a cemented UHMWPE stem (Type IV), Cemented UHMWPE tray with a uncemented UHMWPE stem(Type V), Cemented Co-Cr tray without a stem(Type VI), and Cemented UHMWPE tray without a stem(Type VII). Uncemented components were assumed to have complete bony in growth and a rigid state of fixation between component and bone. The interface between bone/cement/component of cemented components was also assumed to be fully bonded. Bi-condylar forces were applied. The results indicated that Uncemented stem components provided lower bone stress shielding and stress concentration. The UHMWPE tray and stem component showed better agreement with the intact tibia than the Co-Cr Alloy tray and stem components. If the implant tray can be fixed firmed without a stem, Cemented PE tray without a stem(Type VII) may be recommended to give the best characteristics in the sense of stress distribution and stability.

Humic acids are macromolecules originated from natural water, soil, and sediment. The characteristics of humic acid enable it to change the distribution of metals as well as many kinds of organic contaminants and to determine the sorption of them from soil solution. To see the effect of humic acid on the removal rate of organic contaminants and heavy metals, batch-scale experiments were performed. As a natural geosorbent, black shale was used as a sorbent media, which showed hight sorption capacity of trichloroethylene (TCE), lead, cadmium and chromium. The effect of sorption-desorption, pH, ionic strength and the concentration of humic acid was taken into consideration. TCE sorption capacity by black shale was compared to natural bentonite and hexadecyltrimethylammonium (HDTMA) modified bentonite. The removal rate was good and humic acid also sorbed onto black shale very well. The organic part of humic acid could effectively enhance the partition of TCE and it act as an electron donor to reduce Cr(VI) to Cr(III). Cationic metal of Pb(II) and Cd(II) also removed from the water by black shale. With 3 mg/L of humic acid, both Pb(II) and Cd(II) were removed more than without humic acid. That could be explained by sorption and complexation with humic acid and that was possible when humic acid could change the hydrophobicity and solubility of heavy metals. Humic acid exhibited desorption-resistivity with black shale, which implied that black shale could be an alternative sorbent or material for remediation of organic contaminants and heavy metals.

The complexes M(CO)4-1,2-(PPh2)2-1,2-C2B10H10 (M=Cr 2a, Mo 2b, W 2c) have been prepared in good yields from readily available bis-diphenylphosphino-o-carboranyl ligand, closo-1,2-(PPh2)2-1,2-C2B10H10 (1), by direct reaction with Group Ⅵ metal carbonyls. The infrared spectra of the complexes indicate that there is an octahedral disposition of chelate bis-diphenylphosphino-o-carboranyl ligand around the metal atom. The crystal structure of 2a was determined by X-ray diffraction. Complex 2a crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n with cell parameters a = 12.2360(7), b = 17.156(1), c = 16.2040(6) Å, V = 3354.1(3) Å3, and Z =4. Of the reflections measured a total of 2514 unique reflections with F2 > 3σ(F2) was used during subsequent structure refinement. Refinement converged to R1 = 0.066 and R2 = 0.071. Structural studies showed that the chromium atom had a slightly distorted pseudo-octahedral configuration about the metal center with two phosphine groups of o-carborane occupying the equatorial plane cis-orientation to each other. These metal carbonyl complexes are rapidly converted to the corresponding metal carbene complexes, [(CO)3M=C(OCH3)(CH3)]-1,2-(PPh2)2-1,2-C2B10H10 (M= Cr 3a, Mo 3b, W 3c), via alkylation with methyllithium followed by O-methylation with CF3SO3CH3.

Objectives: This study aims to assess the current status of work environment measurement (WEM) for carcinogenic, mutagenic, reproductive toxic substances and to identify their high-risk industries for hazard surveillance and risk assessment. Methods: WEM Data from 37 specially managed CMR substances (2018-2022), the high-risk industries were identified by using estimated 95th percentile levels (X_0.95) of measurements compared with the occupational exposure limit (OEL). Results: The substances most frequently measured were nickel (insoluble), followed by sulfuric acid, lead, chromium (VI), formaldehyde, phenol, dimethylformamide and benzene. The industries with highest number of measurement samples for special management substances were plating of metals, followed by hospitals, general repair services of motor vehicles, building of ships, manufacture of synthetic resin and other plastic materials, manufacture of finished medicaments. Out of the 37 special management substances studied, 22 had a non-detection rate of over 90%. The rate of samples exceeding the OEL was less than 1% for all substances. The substance with the highest number of samples exceeding the OEL was trichloroethylene, which also had the highest average concentration compared to exposure limit. The substances with the highest percentage of industries which (X_0.95) exceeding OEL was formaldehyde followed by sulfuric acid, trichloroethylene, lead, I-bromopropane etc. Conclusions: This study identified high-risk industries of CMR sunstances, highlighting the need for prioritizing these industries in hazards surveillance and risk assessment.

Objectives: The objective of this study is to investigate exposure to occupational carcinogens in the nationwide electronics industries and to establish a strategy for control of occupational carcinogens in South Korea. Methods: We evaluated occupational carcinogens as defined by International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) using a nationwide work environment measurement database on the electronics industry in South Korea measured between 2013 and 2017 in accordance with the Occupational Safety and Health Act. Results: The number of occupational carcinogens found in the electronics industry in South Korea were: 20 for IARC Group 1, 14 for Group 2A, and 30 for Group 2B. The occupational carcinogens (Group 1) most frequently exposed were strong-inorganic-acid mists containing sulfuric acid (sulfuric acid), welding fumes, mineral oils (untreated or mildly treated), nickel compounds, silica dust, crystalline substances in the form of quartz or cristobalite, formaldehyde, arsenic and inorganic arsenic compounds, chromium (VI) compounds, trichloroethylene, cadmium and cadmium compounds, vinyl chloride, ethylene oxide, wood dust, beryllium and beryllium compounds, 1,3 butadiene, benzene, and others. Among them, the carcinogens (Group 1) exceeding the acceptable standard were trichloroethylene, formaldehyde, and ethylene oxide. The working environment measurement system as regulated by Occupational Safety and Health Act is not properly assessed and managed for occupational carcinogens in South Korea. A component analysis for all materials used should be set up to practically reduce occupational carcinogens. A ban on the use of occupational carcinogens and the development of alternative materials are needed. The occupational carcinogens below the acceptable standards should be carefully examined and a new standard for exposure needs to be established. Conclusions: The Occupational Safety and Health Act should be improved to identify and monitor occupational carcinogens at work sites. A strategy for occupational safety and health systems should be provided to give direction to workers' needs and right to know.

$C_9H_7NH$과 크롬 (VI) 산화물을 반응시켜 $C_9H_7NHCrO_3Cl$을 합성하였다. 적외선 분광광도법 (FT-IR)과 원소 분석으로 구조를 확인하였다. 여러 가지 용매 하에서 $C_9H_7NHCrO_3Cl$을 이용하여 벤질 알코올의 산화반응을 측정한 결과, 용매의 유전상수 값 (${\varepsilon}$), 이 증가함에 따라 반응 수율이 증가했다. 그 순서는 DMF (N,N'-디메틸포름아미드) > 아세톤 > 클로로포름 > 시클로헥센 이었다. DMF 용매 하에서 $C_9H_7NHCrO_3Cl$을 이용하여 여러 가지 알코올류의 산화반응을 측정한 결과, $C_9H_7NHCrO_3Cl$은 벤질 알코올, 알릴 알코올, 일차 알코올 및 이차 알코올류를 그에 대응하는 알데히드나 케톤 (75%-95%)으로 전환시키는 효율적인 산화제였다. DMF 용매 하에서 $C_9H_7NHCrO_3Cl$을 이용하여 여러 가지 알코올류의 선택적인 산화반응을 측정한 결과, $C_9H_7NHCrO_3Cl$은 이차 알코올류 존재 하에서 벤질 알코올, 알릴 알코올, 일차 알코올류의 선택적인 산화제였다. $H_2SO_4$ 촉매를 이용한 DMF 용매 하에서, $C_9H_7NHCrO_3Cl$은 벤질 알코올 (H)과 그의 유도체들 ($p-OCH_3$, $m-CH_3$, $m-OCH_3$, m-Cl, $m-NO_2$)을 효과적으로 산화시켰다. 전자 받개 그룹들은 반응 속도가 감소한 반면에 전자 주개 치환체들은 반응 속도를 증가시켰고, Hammett 반응상수 (${\rho}$) 값은 -0.69 (308K) 이었다. 본 실험에서 알코올의 산화반응 과정은 속도결정단계에서 수소화 전이가 일어났다.
