  • 본 연구에서는 박리위험도와 퇴적위험도로 분류하여 적수와 탁수발생 위험도를 분석하였다. 먼저, 적수 및 탁수를 발생시키는 위험 인자들을 도출 하였고 계절별 수도사용량을 고려하여 수리해석을 진행하였다. 적용 지역은 청주시로 13개 동에 걸쳐서 위험도 분석을 진행하였고 퇴적위험도가 높은 지역과 박리위험도가 높은 지역을 선정할 수 있었다. 박리와 퇴적위험도가 모두 높다는 것은 수질문제를 일으킬 가능성이 매우 높은 지역으로 판단할 수 있다. 퇴적위험도와 박리위험도가 가장 높은 지역은 내덕1동과 율량동 구시가지로 경과년수는 30년 이상으로 청주시에서 가장 오래된 지역 이다. 퇴직위험도와 박리위험도 분석을 통해 상수관망의 유지관리 기능을 강화하여 시민들에게 안전한 물 공급을 통해 수돗물에 대한 신뢰도를 높일 수 있을 것이다.

  • Ozone ($O_3$) is a main component of photochemical oxidants and a phytotoxic air pollutant. Although the current levels of tropospheric $O_3$ in East Asia could adversely affect productivity of forest tree species, risk assessments of $O_3$ impact were limited. In this paper, we summarize the methodology of risk assessment of $O_3$ on forest tree species based on our two previous studies, risk assessments of $O_3$ impact on the growth of Fagus crenata by Watanabe et al. (2012) and on the annual carbon absorption of three representative conifers, Cryptomeria japonica, Pinus densiflora and Larix kaempferi by Watanabe et al. (2010). $O_3$ sensitivity of each tree species obtained from an experimental study, $O_3$ exposure and atmospheric N deposition based on field monitoring and vegetation survey were integrated by geographic information system method. Based on the results, we conclude that the area with high risk of $O_3$ impact does not necessarily correspond to the area with high $O_3$ exposure. The varieties of tree habitat, tree sensitivity to $O_3$ and annual carbon absorption among the tree species, and N deposition-induced change in the $O_3$ sensitivity of F. crenata are raised as the factors of discordance between areas with high risk and those with high $O_3$ exposure. In the last part of this paper, we discuss the present uncertainty and perspectives of risk assessment for the future studies on the impact of $O_3$ on forest tree species in East Asia.

  • Particle deposition in human lungs was investigated theoretically by using asymmetric five-lobe lung model. The volumes of each of the five lobes were different, thereby forming an asymmetric lung structure. The tidal volume and flow rate of each lobe were scaled according to lobar volume. The total and regional deposition with various breathing patterns were calculated by means of tracking volume segments and accounting for particle loss during inhalation and exhalation. The deposition fractions were obtained for each airway generation and lung lobe, and dominant deposition mechanisms were investigated for different size particles. Results show that the tidal volume and flow rate have a characteristic influence on particle deposition. The total deposition fraction increases with an increase in tidal volume for all particle sizes. However, flow rate has dichotomous effects: a higher flow rate results in a sharp increase in deposition for large size particles, but decreases deposition for small size particles. Deposition distribution within the lung shifts proximally with higher flow rate whereas deposition peak shifts to the deeper lung region with larger tidal volume. Deposition fraction in each lobe was proportional to its volume. Among the three main deposition mechanisms, diffusion was dominant for particles < 0.5 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ whereas sedimentation and impaction were most influential for larger size particles. Impaction was particularly dominant for particles> 8 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. The results may prove to be useful for estimating deposition dose of inhaled pollutant particles at various breathing conditions.

  • Gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) are commonly used for enhancement in MR imaging and have long been considered safe when administered at recommended doses. However, since the report that nephrogenic systemic fibrosis is linked to the use of GBCAs in subjects with severe renal diseases, accumulating evidence has suggested that GBCAs are not cleared entirely from our bodies; some GBCAs are deposited in our tissues, including the brain. GBCA deposition in the brain is mostly linked to the specific chelate structure of the GBCA: linear GBCAs were responsible for brain deposition in almost all reported studies. This review aimed to summarize the current knowledge about GBCA brain deposition and discuss its clinical implications.

  • In order to assess the long-term airborne concentrations of 6 metals such as Cr, Cd, Pb, Zn, K, and Na and the associated health resk, a great number of PM-10 samples were collected and analyzed in Kyung Hee University-Suwon Campus for three years from 1991 to 1993. The 3-year average concentration of Pb in respirable particulate matters was 142.6 ng/m$^{3}$ while that of Zn was 1,210.5ng/m$^{3}$. The corresponding hazard index from Pb Zn for the ingalation route was estimated to be 9.5.times.10$^{-2}$ and 3.5.times.10$^{-2}$ , respectively. Therefore, it can be said that there was no adverse chronic health effects by airborne Pb and Zn. However, the 2-year average concentration of Cr(6) was estimated to be 1.3ng/m$^{3}$ shile the 3-year average concentration of Cd was 3.1ng/m$^{3}$. The total cancer risk by these two metals for the inhalation route was estimated to be about 7.2.times.10$^{-6}$ . This order-of-magnitude risk estimate suggests that the ingalation risk in the study area from all carcinogenic metals including As and Ni (subsulfide) might exceed the acceptable risk criteria of 10$^{-5}$ -10$^{-6}$ by U.S.EPA.For a better risk assessment in the future, alveolar deposition of PM-10 in the study area were also discussed and an assessment was done.

  • 화재에 의한 흡입연기의 중장기 인체 유해성은 흡입연기가 폐에 침착되는 양과 밀접한 관련이 있다. 연기의 폐 내 침착량을 구하기 위해서는 인체 실험이 불가능한 만큼 폐모델을 이용한 실험이 필요하나 실제 폐형태에서 나타나는 연속적으로 감소되는 분지관의 제작상 어려움으로 인하여 하위 세대에서는 모델실험을 통한 침착 연구가 힘들다. 본 문제를 해결하기 위하여 이 연구에서는 아래로 갈수록 직경이 단계적으로 감소하는 구형 충전층을 이용한 폐모델을 개발하고 이를 폐침착 실험에 적용하였다. 실험장치는 각 입자크기별 호흡 패턴 변화에 따른 입자의 침착량을 측정하도록 구성되었으며 표준입자에 대한 실험 값을 실제 폐에 대한 결과와 비교함으로써 개발된 폐모델의 타당성을 검증하였다. 이 폐모델은 화재시 발생하는 여러 가지 연기입자의 흡입에 의한 인체 피해 연구에 도움이 될 것으로 생각된다.

  • 공기중의 오염 입자가 인체에 얼마나 많은 영향을 미치는가는 흡입된 입자 (inhaled particles) 중에서 얼마나 많은 양이 폐 (lung)에 침전되는가와 밀접한 관계가 있다. 또한 정상 및 비정상 (diseased) 폐에서, 흡입된 입자의 침전 위치와 침전양 (deposition site and dose)은 입자의 크기와 호흡 양식(breathing pattern)에 따라 큰 차이를 보이며, 이런 차이는 흡입오염입자 (inhaled pollutant particles)에 의한 건강 위험도 평가 (health risk assessment) 및 흡입용 약물 (inhaled drug aerosols)의 치료효과(therapeutic effects) 평가 등에 큰 영향을 미친다.

  • Low doses of ionizing radiation from external or internal sources cause heterogeneous distribution of energy deposition events in the exposed biological system. With the cell being the individual element of the tissue system, the fraction of cells hit, the dose received by the hit, and the biological response of the cell to the dose received eventually determine the effect in tissue. The hit cell may experience detriment, such as change in its DNA leading to a malignant transformation, or it may derive benefit in terms of an adaptive response such as a temporary improvement of DNA repair or temporary prevention of effects from intracellular radicals through enhanced radical detoxification. These responses are protective also to toxic substances that are generated during normal metabolism. Within a multicellular system, the probability of detriment must be weighed against the probability of benefit through adaptive responses with protection against various toxic agents including those produced by normal metabolism. Because irradiation can principally induce both, detriment and adaptive responses, one type of affected cells may not be simply summed up at the expense of cells with other types of effects, in assessing risk to tissue. An inventory of various types of effects in the blood forming system of mammals, even with large ranges of uncertainty, uncovers the possibility of benefit to the system from exposure to low doses of low LET radiation. This experimental approach may complement epidemiological data on individuals exposed to low doses of ionizing radiation and may lead to a more rational appraisal of risk.

  • Classic anesthetic techniques for the inferior alveolar nerve, lingual nerve, and long buccal nerve blockade are achieved by estimating the intended location for anesthetic deposition based on palpation, inspection, and subsequent correlation for oral anatomical structures. The present article utilizes computed tomography (CT) data to 3D print a guide for repeatable and accurate deposition of a local anesthetic at the ideal location. This technical report aims to anatomically define the ideal location for local anesthetic deposition. This process has the potential to reduce patient discomfort, risk of nerve damage, and failed mandibular anesthesia, as well as to reduce the total anesthetic dose. Lastly, as robotic-based interventions improve, this provides the initial framework for robot-guided regional anesthesia administration in the oral cavity.

  • 호흡기 내에서 유해물질의 체내흡수 및 방어특성은 영역별로 다르며 흡입연기의 장 단기 인체 유해성은 연기의 호흡기 내 침착위치 및 침착밀도와 밀접한 관계를 가지고 있다. 이 연구에서는 미소부피 위치 추적법을 이용한 입자침착율 계산 기법을 사용하여 휴식 및 가벼운 운동에 해당하는 호흡조건별로 또한 구강 및 비강 호흡별로 각 입자크기에 대하여 호흡기 각 영역별로 단위 면적당 침착분율 등 침착 특성을 구하였다. 이 결과는 연기에 흡착된 유해물질의 체내 흡수량 산정 등에 이용되어 연기의 인체 유해성 판정에 도움을 줄 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
