SPME 분석기법은 헤드스페이스(Headspace: HS) 방식으로 기체상태의 흡착을 유도하거나, 액상시료에 직접 접촉하는 방식으로 분석대상 물질을 추출할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 CAR/PDMS fiber를 이용하여, 액상시료의 VOC 분석을 시도하였다. 3 가지 변수 (흡착온도, 흡착시간, 교반여부)의 강약을 동시에 감안한 8가지 조합조건에서 분석효율을 조사하였다. (1) 용출온도: 30 대비 $50^{\circ}C$. (2) SPME fiber 시료노출시간: 10과 30 min. (3) 교반적용 여부: 무 교반 대비 1200 rpm. 8가지의 조합형 분석조건에서 HS-SPME 방식을 적용하여분석한 결과, S50-30 (stirring speed: 1200 rpm, exposure temp: 50oC, exposure time: 30 min)에서 가장 분석효율이 높게 나타났다. 가장 좋은 감도를 보인 S50-30방식의 분석 회수율을 GC에 직접주입하는 방식을 임의의 기준으로 평가하였을 때, 성분에 따라 상대 회수율이 45.5~68.5%로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과, 3가지 변수 중에서 교반여부는 검량 특성을 결정짓는 가장 중요한 인자로 나타났다.

Benzene, Ethyl-benzene, Toluene and Xylene (BTEX) can be released to a groundwater in case of the oil leakage from underground storage tank of a gas station. These chemicals are found to contribute to the total inhalation risk from contaminated indoor air. This study presents the assessment of a human exposure to such chemicals released from the groundwater into indoor air. At first, a 2-compartment model is developed to describe the transfer and distribution of the chemicals released from groundwater in a house through showering, washing clothes, and flushing toilets. The model is used to estimate a daily human exposure through inhalation of such BTEX for adults based on two sets of exposure scenarios. Finally, a sensitivity analysis is used to identify important parameters. The results obtained from the study would help to increase the understanding of risk assessment issues associated with the indoor pollution by BTEX released from contaminated groundwater.

For exposure systems, very accurate alignment between the mask and the substrate is indispensable. In this paper, an automatic alignment system using machine vision for exposure systems is described. Machine vision algorithms are described in detail including extraction of an alignment mark's center position and camera calibration. Methods for extracting parameters for alignment are also presented with some compensation techniques to reduce alignment time. Our alignment system was implemented with a vision system and motion control stages. The performance of the alignment system has been extensively tested with satisfactory results. The performance evaluation shows alignment accuracy of lum within total alignment time of about $2{\sim}3$ seconds including stage moving time.

Public concerns about hazardous health effect from the exposure to organic by-products of the chlorination have been increased. There are numerous studies reporting that chlorination of drinking water produces numerous chlorinated organic by-products including THMs, HAAs, HANs. Some of these products are known to be animal carcinogens. The purpose of this study was to estimate health risk of DBPs by chlorinated drinking water ingestion in Seoul based on methodologies that have been developed for conducting risk assessment of complex-chemical-mixture. The drinking water sample was collected seperately at six water treatment plant in Seoul at March, April, 1996. In tap water of households in Seoul, DBPs were measured wilfh the mean value of 36.6 $\mu$g/L. Risk assessment processes,. which include processes for the estimation of human cancer potency using animal bioassay data and calculation of human exposure, entail uncertainties. In the exposure assessment process, exposure scenarios with various assumptions could affect the exposure amount and excess cancer risk. The reference dose of haloacetonitriles was estimated to be 0.0023 mg/kg/day by applying dibromoacetonitrile NOAEL and uncertainty factor to the mean concentration. In the first case, human excess cancer risk was estimated by the US EPA method used to set the MCL (maximum contaminant level). In the second and third case, the risk was estimated for multi-route exposure with and without adopting Monte-Carlo simulation, respectively. In the second case, exposure input parameters and cancer potencies used probability distributions, and in the third case, those values used point estimates (mean, and maximum or 95% upper-bound value). As a result, while the excess cancer risk estimated by US EPA method considering only direct ingestion tended to be underestimated, the risk which was estimated by considering multi-route exposure without Monte-Carlo simulation and then using the maximum or 95% upper-bound value as input parameters tended to be overestimated. In risk assessment for Trihalomethanes, considering multi-route exposure with adopting Monte-Carlo analysis seems to provide the most reasonable estimations.

Radiological impact analyses were carried out for a near-surface radioactive waste repository at Gyeongju in South Korea. The RESRAD-ONSITE code was applied for the estimation of maximum exposure doses by considering various exposure pathways based on a land area of 2,500 ㎡ with a 0.15 m thick contamination zone. Typical influencing input parameters such as shield depth, shield materials' density, and shield erosion rate were examined for a sensitivity analysis. Then both residential farmer and industrial worker scenarios were used for the estimation of maximum exposure doses depending on exposure duration. The radiation dose evaluation results showed that 60Co, 137Cs, and 63Ni were major contributors to the total exposure dose compared with other radionuclides. Furthermore, the total exposure dose from ingestion (plant, meat, and milk) of the contaminated plants was more significant than those assessed for inhalation, with maximum values of 5.5×10-4 mSv·yr-1 for the plant ingestion. Thus the results of this study can be applied for determining near-surface radioactive waste repository conditions and providing quantitative analysis methods using RESRAD-ONSITE code for the safety assessment of disposing radioactive materials including decommissioning wastes to protect human health and the environment.

In this paper, negative SU-8 photoresist processed at low temperature is characterized in terms of delamination. Based on a $3^3$ factorial designed experiment, 27 samples are fabricated, and the degree of delamination is measured for each. In addition, nine samples are fabricated for the purpose of verification. Employing the. neural network modeling technique, a process model is established, and response surfaces are generated to investigate degree of delamination associated with three process parameters: post exposure bake (PEB) temperature, PEB time, and exposure energy. From the response surfaces generated, two significant parameters associated with delamination are identified, and their effects on delamination are analyzed. Higher PEB temperature at a fixed PEB time results in a greater degree of delamination. In addition, a higher dose of exposure energy lowers the temperature at which the delamination begins and also results in a larger degree of delamination. These results identify acceptable ranges of the three process variables to avoid delamination of SU-8 film, which in turn might lead to potential defects in MEMS device fabrication.

Olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus (total weight 216.4±14.6 g, total length 28.4±1.7 cm) were exposed to different pH levels (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9) for 96 h. At pH 4, hemoglobin decreased significantly, while plasma calcium, glucose, cholesterol, and ALP increased significantly. Exposure to pH 4 also induced stress responses, as evidenced by a significant decrease in heat shock protein 70 (HSP 70) and a significant increase in cortisol. The results of this study indicate that acute exposure to acidic or alkaline pH (pH 3 or 9) induced significant mortality, while exposure to pH 4significantly affected hematological parameters and stress responses in P. olivaceus.

펜타센 유기박막트랜지스터(OTFT)에서 게이트 절연막의 표면상태가 소자의 성능에 큰 영향을 미친다. 본 논문에서는 펜타센을 진공 증착하기전 게이트 절연막의 표면에 O₂플라즈마 처리를 함으로써 OTFT의 성능에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. O₂플라즈마 처리 후 소자의 전계 이동도가 0.05㎠/V·sec로 나타났으며, 이는 처리전 보다 약 10배정도 향상된 것이다. 또한 O₂플라즈마 처리는 게이트 절연막의 표면상태를 균일하게 하여 각 성능지수들의 표준편차가 감소하였다. 그리고 전계 이동도는 O₂플라즈마에 노출되는 시간에 따라 증가하였는데 5분을 기점으로 다시 감소하였다. 따라서 O₂플라즈마 처리시간은 5분이 최적인 것으로 판단된다.
