Objective: This study introduces exposure concentrations of time-weighted average standard (TWA) evaluation and short-time exposure standard (STEL) evaluation for trichloroethylene in the cleaning process. Methods: Trichloroethylene measurement was conducted according to the KOSHA Guide (A-24-2019) method. It was carried out twice. Results: As a result of the first measurement, TWA concentration exceeded 4 times the exposure standard and STEL concentration exceeded 16 times, but the inaccuracy and breakthrough of the collection time could not be considered, so the second measurement was conducted. The second measurement result was lower than the first measurement result, but exceeded the exposure standards (TWA, STEL). Conclusions: We were able to confirm that the exposure level of workers in the cleaning process using trichloroethylene exceeded the exposure standard. And it is also considered necessary to grasp the approximate concentration using a detector tube in the preliminary survey.

The size and concentration of wear debris in lubricating oil often reveal the operating condition of the rotating machinery. To evaluate the possible application of light attenuation measurement for the estimation of wear debris concentration in the lubricating oil, the light transmittance through the lubricating oil cell contaminated with various concentrations of diatomite particles was measured, the attenuation coefficient was estimated from the transmittance measurement and the coefficients were compared with those obtained from the scattering theory. The comparision showed good agreements between them. It is also noted that the experimentally determined attenuation coefficient showed almost linear relation with particle weight concentrations for the concentrations within the range of 2000 ppm. For the case of 0 ppm weight concentration of diatomite particles in the lubricating oil cell, the thickness of the cell required to give $100 \mu W$ light attenuation is 7.75 mm. This result indicates that the light attenuation method will be one of the possible candidates of machine failure diagnostic sensors for the estimation of wear debris concentration in the lubricating oil.

A microdialysis coupled flow injection amperometric biosensor was calibrated to measure the concentration of glucose using 7 standard samples from 10ml to 70ml of glucose solution. The output of the sensor increased linearly with an increase in the glucose concentration with an $R^2$ correlation of 0.99. The amperometric biosensor was then applied to measure the. glucose concentration of 2 commercial samples(Orange and Pineapple juice) and the results compared with HPLC. Around 12% error was observed in glucose concentration measurements of the samples analyzed. The sensor has potential in rapid measurement once the calibration is done. Potential for on-line sensing is also discussed.

A microdialysis coupled flow injection amperometric $({\mu}FIA)$ biosensor was calibrated to measure the concentration of sucrose using 11 standard samples from 2 ml to 70 ml of sucrose solution. The output of the sensor increased linearly with an increase in the sucrose concentration with an $r^2$ correlation of 0.99. The amperometric biosensor was then applied to measure the sucrose concentration of 4 commercial samples (Orange and Pineapple juices, Pepsi, Sprite) and the results compared with those by HPLC. Around $20\~30\%$ error was observed in sucrose concentration measurements of the samples analyzed. The sensor has potential in rapid measurement once the calibration is done. Potential for on-line sensing is also discussed.

Simultaneous measurement of turbulent velocity and concentration field in a stirred mixer tank is carried out by using PIV/LIF technique. Instantaneous velocity fields are measured by a $1K\times1K$ CCD camera adopting the frame straddle method while the concentration fields are obtained by measuring the fluorescence intensity of Rhodamine B tracer excited by the second pulse of Nd:Yag laser light. Image distortion due to the camera view-angle is compensated by a mapping function. It is found that the general features of the mixing pattern are quite dependent on the local flow characteristics during the rapid decay of mean concentration. However, the small scale mixing seems to be independent on the local turbulent velocity fluctuation.

Numerous researchers have proposed that surface area is a more appropriate indicator than mass for evaluating pulmonary inflammatory responses caused by exposure to fine and ultrafine particles. In this study, measurements of surface area concentrations of aerosols were conducted in Yokohama, Japan, using the diffusion charging method. $PM_{2.5}$ mass concentration and black carbon concentration in $PM_{2.5}$ were also measured. The 24-hour continuous measurement campaigns were conducted 39 times from March to November, 2014. The surface area concentration was more closely correlated with the black carbon concentration than with the $PM_{2.5}$ mass concentration. It is considered that the abundance of black carbon particles significantly affects the surface area concentration of $PM_{2.5}$. The strength of the correlation between the surface area and black carbon concentrations varied considerably among the measurement campaigns. A relatively weaker afternoon correlation was observed compared with the other time zones (morning, evening, and night). We consider that these phenomena are due to the transportation/formation of the particles other than black carbon that affects surface area concentration and/or the variation of the surface condition of the black carbon particles.

Background: Compared with reported data of radon concentration, data of radon progeny concentration is limited in general, especially in outdoor environment. Materials and Methods: To know both the level and the variation of radon progeny concentration in outdoor environment in Beijing area, one-year continuous measurement with a cycle of 60 minutes was carried out by a step-advanced filter (SAF) monitor for radon progeny measurement. The observation site was located in a park in Eastern Beijing area, and the observation period was from October 17, 2018 to September 29, 2019. Results and Discussion: The equivalent equilibrium concentration (EEC) of radon progeny varies from 0.7 to 19.1 Bq·m^-3, with an annual average of 4.9 ± 2.7 Bq·m^-3. A clear diurnal variation of EEC, higher in the early morning and lower in the late afternoon, is observed due to the high sensitivity of the SAF monitor. Conclusion: Vertical convection of atmospheric boundary layer is thought to be the main reason of this phenomenon. For annual variation, the lowest monthly average EEC appeared in April, while the highest appeared in November, which might attribute to the atmospheric stability in different seasons.

In this study, inter-comparison for PM-2.5 was undertaken. The PM-2.5 mass concentrations using the gravimetric and beta-attenuation methods were compared during the winter in 2007. Two different types of conventional filter-based measurements (Cyclone type and Impactor type) were also collocated and the measurement data was compared with each other. As a result, continuous PM-2.5 data using beta attenuation method show a comparable mass concentration with gravimetric measurement when the inlet of beta-gauge sampler is heated. The results also showed that the cyclone type shows a little high PM-2.5 concentration than Impactor type. In all the sampling cases, the correlations between measurement methods are high. Subsequently, this study suggests that highly correlated relationship between PM-2.5 measurement instruments can be obtained through the inter-comparison results based on filterb-ased gravimetric method and more intensive measurement and theoretical studies are needed in order to clarify the measurement errors for different sampler types.

Simultaneous measurement with PLIF(Planar Laser-Induced Fluorescence) and Stereo-PIV(Stereo Particle Image Velocimetry) was performed to investigate the structural characteristics of flow field in Rushton Turbine Mixer. Instantaneous 3D velocity fields are measured by two 2K${\times}$2K CCD cameras focused on an object plane with the angular displacement methods while the concentration fields are obtained through the measurement of the fluorescence intensity of Rhodamine B tracer excited by the second pulse of Nd:Yag laser light. Image distortion due to the camera view-angle is compensated by a mapping function. Finally, the spatial structures of turbulent flow around Rushton turbine were identified by the calculation of synchronized data of the velocity field and concentration field.
