Flavor components were trapped by stimultaneous steam distillation-extraction method for investigating it in the bellflower roots and fractionated into four groups such as a neutral, a basic, a phenolic and an acidic fraction. An acidic fraction methylated with diazomethane solution and three others were analysed by GC and GC-MS equipping a fused silica capillary column, and S-containing compounds in these were detected with a flame photometric detector (FPD). The total of one hundred and three compounds from the bellflower roots were identified: they were 6 aliphatic hydrocarbons, 10 aromatic hydrocarbons, 2 terpene hydrocarbons, 12 alcohols, 8 terpene alcohols, 17 aldehydes, 3 terpene aldehydes, 5 ketones, 5 esters, 3 furans, 2 thiazoles, 2 lactones, 2 sulfides, 9 phenols, l2 carboxylic acids and 5 others. The greater part of the others except carboxylic acids were identified from a neutral fraction of which was assumed to be indispensable for the reproduction of bellflower root odor in a sensory evaluation. As a result of a sensory evaluation, 1-hexanal, trans-2-hexenal, 1-hexanol, cis-3-hexenol, trans-2-hexenol, 1-octen-3-ol and so forth identified in a neutral fraction were considered to be the key compounds of grass-like odor in the bellflower roots.

Pesticides are useful to eliminate harmful insects and grow crops however, misuse and abuse of pesticides may cause a death of wild birds, livestock, and companion animals. We analyzed residual pesticides in the ingesta and tissues from the dead wild birds, livestock, and companion animals which were suspected pesticide poisoning based on the diagnosis of the Animal Disease Diagnostic Center of National Veterinary Research and Quarantine Service (NVRQS). The samples were primarily brought to NVRQS from local communities and veterinary diagnostic laboratories. The 231 suspicious samples of pesticide poisoning based on the necropsy were analyzed by GC/NPD, GC/FPD, GC/ECD, or GC/MSD in 2008 and 2009. Pesticides were identified from the 55 samples of total 143 samples analyzed in 2008 and from the 34 samples of total 88 samples analyzed in 2009. The pesticide identification rates in 2008 were higher than the rates in 2009. It may have relevance to the increased samples with the outbreak of avian influenza in 2008 in Korea. The concentrations of pesticides found in the dead animals varied and exceeded the respective $LD_{50}$ of pesticides in many cases. Monochrotophos, phosphamidon, and methomyl were the most common pesticides found and those pesticides are high rank sales in Korea. The cause of pesticide poisoning in animal is assuming a misuse and an abuse of commonly used pesticides in Korea.

For gas chromatographic determination with the sulfur-specific flame photometric detector, nine ${\beta}$-lactam antibiotics without ${\alpha}$-amino group were esterified with borontrifluoride-methanol complex and then N-benzoylated with benzoyl chloride. The gas chromatographic separation of these products was successfully carried out on various silicon polymers (OV-1, OV-101, OV-17, OV-225, and QF-1) coated on the acid washed, silanized diatomite. The structure of the esterified and N-benzoylated product was confirmed by mass spectromer.

An International Convention on the control of harmful anti-fouling system on ships(AFS Convention) was adopted on 5 October 2001 at Diplomatic Conference in London, and is expected to be presently effectuated with ratification of more than 25-member nations possessing about 25% of total world tonnage. This convention regulates the operation of harmful anti-fouling system and especially prohibits the use of organotin compounds contained in anti-fouling paint. Organotin compounds have a tendency to be easily extracted by specific solvents and have high polarity and low volatility as specific characteristics. This drives us to attempt of going through the process named derivatization that is required in analysis using a gas chromatography(GC). This study was conducted to determine the proper pre-treatment method, ethylation in comparison with hydridization on the analysis of tributyltin in organotin compounds and to verify the application of the method through the experimental analysis practically used anti-fouling paint and painted layer sample of the served ship.

Pesticides are extensively used for the control of crop pests in agriculture and forestry. Organophosphate (OP) and carbamate pesticides are especially effective for the control of a variety of harmful insects. However, these cholinesterase inhibitors are also dangerous to non-target organisms (wildlife and other animals) because of their high acute toxicity. Most poisonings by pesticides occur as a result of misuse or accidental exposure, but intentional killing of unwanted animals also occurs. At the request of a local autonomous entity, we investigated wild bird poisonings by pesticides from 2003 to 2007. The 207 suspicious samples of pesticide poisoning based on the necropsy were analyzed by GC/NPD, GC/FPD, or GC/MSD. We looked for trends in the identification of pesticides in wild birds thought to have died from poisoning. Pesticides were determined in 59% of the total samples analyzed. Phosphamidon and monochrotophos were the most common pesticides identified, which amounted to 77% of the subtotal. Other OP and carbamate pesticides were also found in various concentrations from dead wild birds. The determined rates of pesticides were as high as 86% and 76% in 2003 and 2006, respectively, during an outbreak of avian influenza in Korea.

BACKGROUND: Tributyltin chloride is among the most toxic compounds known for aquatic ecosystems. Microorganisms are responsible for removal of TBTCl. Nevertheless, only a limited number of marine bacteria were investigated for biodegradation of TBTCl in Korea. METHODS AND RESULTS: The number of TBTCl resistant bacteria ranged from $2.5{\times}10^3$ to $3.8{\times}10^3$ cfu/mL in the seawater, and ranged from $3.2{\times}10^5$ to $9.1{\times}10^5$ cfu/g in the surface sediment, respectively. The morphological, physiological, and biochemical characteristics of TBTCl resistant bacteria were investigated by API 20NE and other tests. The most abundant species of TBTCl resistant bacteria were Vibrio spp. (19.2%), Bacillus spp. (16.2%), Aeromonas spp. (15.2%), and Pseudomonas spp. (13.1%), etc. Eleven TBTCl resistant isolates also had a resistance to heavy metals (Cd, Cu, Hg, and Zn). Among them, isolate T7 showing the strong TBTCl-resistance was selected. This isolate was identified as the genus Pantoea by 16S rRNA gene sequencing and designated as Pantoea sp. T7. In addition, this bacterium was cultivated up to the growth of 50.7% after 60 hrs at TBTCl concentration of $500{\mu}M$. TBTCl-degrading activity of Pantoea sp. T7 was measured by GC-FPD analysis. As a result of biological TBTCl-degradation at TBTCl concentration of $100{\mu}M$, TBTCl-removal efficiency of Pantoeasp. T7 was 62.7% after 40 hrs. CONCLUSION(S): These results suggest that Pantoea sp. T7 is potentially useful for the bioremediation of TBT contamination.

The method of study describes the determination of the nanogram amounts of mono-, di-, and tri-butyltin compounds in sea water. The procedure is based on 1) the conversion of tin compounds to non-ionic species by sodium tetraethyl borate as an alkylation reagent, 2) one-step ethylation and 3) extraction. No further purification or concentration of the extract was required before GC-FPD (Flame Photometric Detector). The detection limits for mono-, di- and tri-butyltin were 12.50, 6.02, and 4.19 ng/L. The linear range (0-120 ng/L) was solely dependent on the detector response height. Sea water samples (n=24) were obtained from Masan Bay, Busan, Ullsan, Gunsan, Sockcho, Yeasu, Donghae, Inchun, Kanghwa, and Ahsan in Korea. The samples were collected between June, 1992 to July, 1992 and the distribution of monobutyltintrichloride (MBTC), dibutyltindichloride (DBTC), and tributyltinchloride (TBTC) in sea water was recorded. The concentrations of butyltin compounds in seawater were found to be in the range of N.D. (not detected)-61.93 ng/L for MBTC, N.D.-32.16 ng/L for DBTC, and N.D.-55.76 ng/L for TBTC.

This study was performed to determine the urinary metabolites of methidathion in rats. Urine samples were collected for 24 hours in metabolic cages following after oral administration and dermal application of methidation to rats. The urinary metabolites were identified by GC/MS and the excretion time courses of urinary dialkyl phosphate metabolites were analyzed by CG/FPD. The results obtained are summarized as follows: Three dialkyl phosphate metabolites, DMP, DMTP. and DMDTP, were detected in the rat urine. Urinary dialkyl phosphate metabolites were identified on the basis of their mass spectra by GC/MS. The molecular ions of DMP, DMTP,and DMDTP, were identified at m/z 198, and m/z 158, respectively. A comparison of excretion time courses of urinary dialkyl phosphate metabolites between the orally administrated and dermally applicated rats were also established, After oral administration, 79.2% of DMP, 93.9% of DMTP, and 83.0% of DMDTP were excreted into the urine by 12, 24, and 12 hours, respectively. After dermal application, 71.1% of DMP, 82.8% of DMTP 87.7% of DMDTP were excreted into the urine by 24, 48, 48 hours, respectively. Consequently, almost all of the dialkyl phosphates in oral administration were excreted within 48 hours. However, the metabolites in dermal application were excreted up to 168 hours. In the study, three urinary metabolites of methidation, DMP, DMTP and DMDTP, were detected in the rat both after oral administraion and dermal application with methidathion. And the urinary excretion in dermal application was more delayed than that in oral administration. Based on the results, it tis suggested that three urinary dealkyl phosphates, DMP, DMTP, and DMDTP, could be used as the biomarkers of exposure for methidathion.

The analytical instrument method was applied to analyze malodorous sulfur compounds emitted from industrial fields. Six factories and two sites which release malodorous substances into ambient air were selected to determine the level of hydrogen sulfide($H_2S$), methylmercaptan(MeSH), dimethyl sulfide($Me_2S$), and dimethyl disulfide($Me_2S_2$) using automated thermal desorption system (STD400) and GC-FPD in summer and fall seasons of 1999. The Air sampler for ATD400 uses a small pump to draw sample and a mass flow controller to adjust sample amount without using a dilution apparatus. The trap temperature of ATD400 reached to $-80^{\circ}$ by supplying liquid nitrogen and $H_2S$ can be analyzed under this condition. The recovery rates of $H_2S$, MeSH, $Me_2S$, and $Me_2S_2$ of odorous sulfur compounds standard were shown 98.2%, 93.6%, 98.2%, 99.4% respectively. The concentrations of $Me_2S$ at outside boundary of G market, L factory, and J factory were 0.018ppm, 0.021ppm, 0.032ppm in summer, respectively. The concentration of $H_2S$ at Nanjido landfill was 1.167ppm in summer, but that of $H_2S$ was not detected in fall because of soil covering. The concentration of H2S and $Me_2S_2$ at inside of Chonggye stream were 0.564ppm and 1.045ppm in summer, while those of H2S and Me2S2 were 0.285ppm and 0.465ppm in fall, respectively.
