전 세계적으로 분포하고 있는 약 2,900 종의 흰개미 중 23종의 흰개미가 일본에 서식하고 있으며, 이에 따라 1종의 흰개미만 분포하는 우리나라에 비해 더 심각한 피해를 주는 것으로 알려져 있다. 일본에서는 목조건축물에서 흰개미에 의한 피해가 발생하면 화학적 방제(훈증처리, 토양처리, 베이트처리 등)나 비화학적 방제방법(저산소처리, 이산화탄소처리, 고온처리, 저온처리 등)을 이용해 방제처리를 하게 된다. 특히, 훈증처리에 사용되는 메틸 브로마이드 훈증제의 생산과 소비를 2005년부터 전폐하기로 함에 따라 이를 대체하기 위한 다양한 방법들에 대한 검토가 이루어졌으며, 그 결과 실제로 피해 정도가 소규모이거나 장기간의 처리가 가능한 경우 등 일부 경우에는 약제를 사용하지 않는 비화학적 방법이 효과적이라는 것이 확인되었다.

Methyl bromide has been used as a representative fumigant for quarantine, and several poisoning cases have occurred recently by this chemical in Korea. The purpose of this study is to evaluate workers' exposures to airborne methyl bromide in the importing and exporting plant products quarantine companies. Air samples were collected 400/200 mg Anasorb 747TM and were analyzed by gas chromatograph /flame ionization detector according to the Occupational Safety and Health Agency (OSHA) Method PV2040. Geometric mean (GM) and arithmetic mean (AM) of total 27 workers' exposure concentrations to airborne methyl bromide were 1.12 ppm and 0.24 ppm, respectively. Two exposures(12.1 ppm and 12 ppm as 8hr-TWA) of total 27 workers' exposures exceeded the Korean standard (5 ppm) of Ministry Labor, while 4 exposures (15%) exceeded the Threshold Limit Value (TLV) (1 ppm) of American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH). Seven samples (11%) of total 63 short-term air samples exceeded the OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) 20 ppm (Ceiling). The opening (management) task in wood fumigation by tent showed the highest short-term exposure concentrations (AM: 18.6 ppm, GM: 0.58 ppm, maximum: 340.7 ppm). The maximum level in treatment task of the same process was 2.01 ppm. Methyl bromide concentrations in opening operation was significantly higher than that in treatment operation (p<0.05). In conclusion, the GM of workers' 8hr-TWA exposures to airborne methyl chloride in the importing/exporting plant quarantine industry was estimated below the ACGIH TLV (1 ppm). However, opening task in the fumigation of wood being covered with tent or fumigation of pant products in container showed the levels exceeding ACGIH TLV (1 ppm), and opening task in the fumigation of wood being covered with tent showed the level exceeding the Korean standard of Ministry of Labor (5 ppm).

왕겨 분말을 가연성 담체로 첨가하여 분상, 과립상 및 봉상의 fenarimol 훈연제를 제제하고 제형이 훈연제의 연소성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 가연성 담체로 목분을 사용한 목분 훈연제의 연소성을 조사하고 왕겨 훈연제와 비교하였다. 왕겨 분말을 가연성 담체로 한 fenarimol 훈연제(3%)는 분말, 과립 및 막대 모양으로 성형할 수 있었으며, 염소산나트륨 첨가비가 11% 이상일 때 모두 연속적으로 연소하였다. 형상과 무관하게 모두 염소산나트륨 첨가비가 13%인 훈연제의 훈연율이 가장 높았으며, 분상 훈연제(64.5%) < 과립훈연제(78.4%) < 봉상 훈연제(90.9%) 순으로 훈연율이 증가하였다. 봉상 훈연제는 과립훈연제보다 점화가 특히 용이하고 강도와 훈연율이 우수하였다. 목분을 가연성 담체로 사용한 훈연제는 방염 성분을 함유하여 연소 시간이 매우 길어지는 특성이 있어서 훈연제보다 서서히 연소하는 훈증제용 담체로 더 적합하였다.

한국산 생밤의 효율적인 적정훈증소독방법을 구명하기 위하여 실시한 시험결과 Phostoxin에 의한 훈증소독은 처리기간에 관계없이 생밤을 급히 부패시키거나 각피를 변색시키는 등 약해를 나타내는 반면에 생밤의 밤바구미와 밤나방의 유충을 완전히 사멸시키지 못했다. 그러나 Methyl bromide를 $m^3$당 40g 투약하여 $21^{\circ}C$에서 4시간 훈증하면 약해는 나타나지 알았지만 생밤가해 해충의 방제에는 효과가 낮았고 Methyl bromide를 $m^3$당 50g 투약하여 $21^{\circ}C$에서 24시간 훈증하면 생밤을 가해하는 해충의 유충은 어느 것이나 모두 효과적으로 제어할 수 있었지만 과육의 표면을 암색 또는 진한 갈색으로 변색시키는 등 심한 약해를 일으켰다. 그렇지만 4시간 훈증한 것은 생밤의 밤바구미와 밤나방의 유충을 완전히 사멸시켰을 뿐만 아니라 아무런 약해도 발생하지 않았다.

친환경 소독 기술인 환경조절열처리(CATTS: controlled atmosphere and temperature treatment system)는 메틸브로마이드 훈증제 처리의 대체 기술로 사용되어 왔다. 본 연구는 저장 곡물 해충인 거짓쌀도둑거저리(Tribolium castaneum)를 CATTS를 통해 저장 기간 중 방제가 가능한 지를 알아보기 위해 시도되었다. 거짓쌀도둑거저리의 성충은 $46^{\circ}C$에서 열충격 감수성을 보였으며 여기에 CA 조건(15% 이산화탄소, 1% 산소)은 감수성을 현격하게 증가시켰다. CATTS 조건($46^{\circ}C$, 15% 이산화탄소 1% 산소)에서 120 분간 노출시켰을 때 유충(초기, 중기, 말기)과 성충 모두 100% 살충율을 나타냈다. CATTS 처리에 대한 감수성이 거짓쌀도둑거저리 발육 시기에 띠라 상이했고 말기 유충에서 높은 내성을 보였다. 거젓쌀도둑거저리 열충격단백질의 발현이 CATTS에 대한 내생과 관련이 있는 것으로 나타났다.

The chemical compositions of the essential oil extracted from Albizziae julibrissin barks were analyzed by Gas chromatography-Mass spectrometry spectrometry. Fourteen components were identified, representing 89.23 % of the total oil composition. The analysis of the essential oil revealed that the essential oil contains 14 compounds, accounting for 89.23 % of the total oil. Hexanoic acid was the principal component (41.43 %) of the essential oil, followed by 4,4,6-trimethyl-cyclohex-2-en-1-ol (11.16 %), palmitic acid (9.00 %), 2-pentylfuran (5.66 %), 2-butyl-2-octenal (4.12 %), linoleic acid (3.10%), amyl hexanoate (3.01%), (E,E)-2,4-decadienal (2.49 %), 2-hexylthiophene (2.47 %), caprylic acid (2.13 %), ${\delta}-undecalactone$ (1.52 %), heptanoic acid (1.27 %), 3,5-octadien-2-ol (0.99 %), and 2-octenal (0.88 %). The acaricidal activity of the A. julibrissin oil was tested against Dermatophagoides farina, D. pteronyssinus and Tyrophagus putrescentiae by the fumigant bioassay. Based on the $LD_{50}$ values, the essential oil exhibited strong acaricidal activities against D. farinae ($LD_{50}$, $4.88{\mu}g/cm^3$), D. pteronyssinus ($2.44{\mu}g/cm^3$), and T. putrescentiae ($1.22{\mu}g/cm^3$). These results indicate that A. julibrissin oil could be a source of acaricidal agents for mite control.

To study the control of postharvest decay caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and Penicillium expansum, gamma irradiation alone or in combination with fumigation was evaluated to extend the shelf life of apples in South Korea. An irradiation dose of 2.0 kGy resulted in the maximum inhibition of C. gloeosporioides and P. expansum spore germination. The gamma irradiation dose required to reduce the spore germination by 90% was 0.22 and 0.35 kGy for C. gloeosporioides and P. expansum, respectively. Microscopic observations revealed that when the fungal spores were treated with gamma irradiation (4.0 kGy), conidial germination was stopped completely resulting in no germ tube formation in C. gloeosporioides. Treatment with the eco-friendly fumigant ethanedinitrile had a greater antifungal activity against C. gloeosporioides and P. expansum in comparison with the non-treated control under in vitro conditions. The in vitro antifungal effects of the gamma irradiation and fumigation treatments allowed us to further study the effects of the combined treatments to control postharvest decay on stored apples. Interestingly, when apples were treated with gamma irradiation in combined with fumigation, disease inhibition increased more at lower (< 0.4 kGy) than at higher doses of irradiation, suggesting that combined treatments reduced the necessary irradiation dose in phytosanitary irradiation processing under storage conditions.

Background: To investigate the possibility of using Asarum sieboldii as an environment-friendly fumigant for protecting organic cultural heritages, the inhibitory effect of A. sieboldii extract against wood rot fungi on Hanji was examined. Methods and Results: The physical, optical, and morphological properties of Hanji inoculated with Trametes versicolor and Tyromyces palustris, and exposed to the n-hexane fraction of A. sieboldii extract, were measured. The physical properties were expressed as weight loss, zero-span tensile strength and viscosity and the optical properties were depicted by luminance and chromaticity ($L^*$, $a^*$, and $b^*$). The results showed that, the n-hexane fraction of A. sieboldii extract inhibited the growth of fungi on Hanji, and preserved its condition. At a concentration of 25 mg, the n-hexane fraction of A. sieboldii extract maintained zero-span tensile strength, increased viscosity, and restricted discoloration of Hanji. It also was confirmed that the weight of fungi infested Hanji exposed to the extract did not decrease. Scanning electron microscopic images revealed that the spores and hyphae of T. versicolor and T. palustris were not present on Hanji during treatment with > 25 mg of the n-hexane fraction of A. sieboldii extract. Conclusions: These results indicate that the n-hexane fraction of A. sieboldii extract by virtue of its antifungal effectiveness may help in preserving Korean paper cultural heritages, including Hanji.

Ethyl formate, a volatile solvent, has insecticidal and fungicidal properties and is suggested as a potential fumigant for stored crop and fruit. Its primary contact route is through the respiratory tract; however, reliable repeated toxicological studies focusing on the inhalation route have not been published to date. Therefore, the present study was conducted to investigate the safety of a 90-day repeated inhalation exposure in rats. Forty male and 40 female rats were exposed to ethyl formate vapor via inhalation at concentrations of 0, 66, 330, and 1,320 ppm for 6 hr/day, 5 days a week for 13 weeks. Clinical signs, body weights, food consumption, urinalysis, hematologic parameters, serum chemistry measurements, organ weights, necropsy, and histopathological findings were compared between the control and ethyl formate-exposed groups. Locomotor activity decreased during exposure and recovered afterward in male and female rats exposed to 1,320 ppm ethyl formate. Body weight and food consumption continuously decreased in both sexes exposed to 1,320 ppm ethyl formate from week 1 or 3 compared with the control values. The increases in adrenal weight and decreases in thymus weight were noted in both sexes exposed to ethyl formate at 1,320 ppm. Degeneration, squamous metaplasia of olfactory epithelium in the nasopharyngeal tissue, or both were noted in the male and female rats at 1,320 ppm and female rats at 330 ppm ethyl formate. Taken together, our results indicate that ethyl formate-induced changes were not observed in male and female rats at 330 and 66 ppm, respectively. This indicates that exposure to ethyl formate at concentrations below 66 ppm for 90 days is relatively safe in rats. This is the first report of a full-scale repeated inhalation toxicity assessment in rats and could contribute to controlling occupational environmental hazards related to ethyl formate.
