A lot of research has been made over the recent decade to develop testing packages with antimicrobial properties to improve food safety. In this study, a new method, experimental device and technology for environmental corresponding packages of polypropylene (PP) film has been developed to provide effective temperature buffering during the transport/long-term storage of grains or foodstuffs from the supplier to the market. This quantitatively optimized mixing system enabled to produce PP films with the 700$\sim$1,400d (width;1.5$\sim$3mm, thickness;0.01$\sim$0.5mm). In the whole mixing systems, the finely-granulated inorganic illite and PP virgin chip for master batch (M/B) chip was calculated by digital measurement methods, and then the M/B chip for PP film was adapted through a air jet and PP grinding method. The prepared PP film was characterized with tensile strength and elongation, far infrared radiation (FIR) emissivity, antimicrobial activity and deodorization properties. The results revealed that the two differently grain-sized illite could be show homogeneously dispersed on PP chip surface, and as the increasing of illite content, the FIR emissivity and the anion emission rate of film was increasingly improved. In both of 325 and 1,500 mesh-sized illite contained PP chip, of course the antimicrobial activity was good. But the ultimate deodorization rate for ammonia gas of PP film were found to be approximately the same.

The present study was undertaken to test the hypothesis that dietary antioxidants protect DNA damage induced by peroxynitrite, a potent physiological inorganic toxin. The present study showed that dietary antioxidants such as (-)-epigallocatechin gallate, quercerin, rutin, resveratrol, and ursolic acid inhibit single strand breaks in supercoiled plasmid DNA induced by 3-morpholinosydnomine N-ethylcarbamide (SIN-1), a generator of peroxynitrite through the reaction between nitric oxide and superoxide anion. The formation of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OH-dG) in calf thymus DNA by SIN-1 was also inhibited by dietary antioxidants. When U937 cells were incubated with 1 mM SIN-1 bolus, a significant increase of 8-OH-dG level was observed. However, oxidative DNA damage was significantly lower in the cells pre-treated with dietary antioxidants when cells were exposed to SIN-1.

국내 유통되고 있는 농산물에 대한 비소 함량을 확인하여 국민의 식품별 섭취량을 고려한 비소 위해성을 평가하였다. 총 비소 함량은 microwave장치를 이용해 전처리한 후 ICP/MS로 측정하였으며, 농산물 중 유기 (AsC, AsB, MMA, DMA) 및 무기비소 (As(III), As(V)) 함량을 측정하기 위해 50% 메탄올을 이용한 액액추출법과 이온교환크로마토그래피를 활용한 HPLC-ICP/MS법을 사용하였다. 비소 함량 실태조사를 위해 국내 유통 중인 농산물 20개 품목, 329건을 수거하였으며, 농산물 중 총 비소 함량은 0.001~0.718 mg/kg인 반면 무기 및 유기비소 함량은 모든 시료에서 검출한계 이하이었다. 노출 및 위해평가를 위해 농산물별 섭취를 통한 비소 노출량을 산출한 후, JECFA에서 설정한 PTWI값 대비 위해도를 평가하였으며 비소의 PTWI 는 무기비소로써 15 ${\mu}g$/kg b.w./week이다. 쌀을 제외한 농산물 섭취를 통한 총 비소 및 무기비소의 중간노출량은 0.0002~0.012, 0.0001~0.001 ${\mu}g$/kg b.w./day 이었으며, 이는 PTWI 대비 0.01~0.5%, 0.002~0.1%에 해당 하였다. 쌀을 통한 총 비소 및 무기비소 중간노출량은 0.603, 0.041 ${\mu}g$/kg b.w./day이었으며, 각각 PTWI 대비 28.1%, 1.9%에 해당하였다. 따라서, 국내 유통되는 농산물 섭취를 통한 비소의 노출량은 JECFA의 안전권고치보다 낮았으며, 우리나라 국민은 농산물에 존재하는 비소의 위해성으로부터 안전한 것으로 사료된다.

이 연구는 Methyl tert Btyl Ether(MTBE)의 광촉매반응을 통한 제거시에 다양한 음이온($Cl^-$, $NO_3{^-}$, $HCO_3{^-}$)들의 영향을 통계적 방법을 사용하여 조사하였다. 이 공정은 일반적으로 UV의 존재 하에 수용액상에 생성되는 Hydroxyl radicals(OH라디칼)의 생성에 기초하며, 이러한 라디칼들의 생성은 수용액 상의 무기 음이온들이 OH라디칼과의 반응에 의해 광분해를 방해한다. 이런 무기음이온들의 영향은 반응표면법(RSM)의 한 종류인 혼합물분석(Mixture analysis)를 통해 $Cl^-$, $NO_3{^-}$와 $HCO_3{^-}$의 독립변수들을 수학적으로 표현하였다. 분산분석(Analysis of variance; ANOVA)의 회귀분석항은 유의한 p값(p<0.0001)과 높은 결정계수($R^2$=99.28%, ${R^2}_{adj}$=98.91%)를 나타냈다. 그리고 등고선도(Contour plot)와 반응표면도(Response surface plot)는 $UV/H_2O_2$ 공정에 기초한 MTBE 광분해에 대한 무기 이온들의 영향을 나타내었다. 이 연구의 결과는 MTBE의 광분해에 대해 $Cl^-$와 $HCO_3{^-}$ 이온이 OH라디칼의 생성을 방해하는 것으로 나타났고 이 두 인자에 의한 상호작용이 관찰되었다.

Toxicity of metal plating wastewater was evaluated by using acute toxicity tests on Daphnia magna. To identify toxicants of metal plating wastewater, several manipulations such as solid phase extraction (SPE), ion exchange and graduated pH adjustment were used. The SPE test had no significant effect on baseline toxicity, suggesting absence of toxic non-polar organics in metal plating wastewater. However, anion exchange largely decreased the baseline toxicity by 88%, indicating the causative toxicants were inorganic anions. Considering high concentration of chromium in metal plating wastewater, it is thought the anion is Cr(VI) species. Graduated pH test showing independence of the toxicity on pH change strongly supports this assumption. However, as revealed by toxicity confirmation experiment, the initial toxicity of metal plating wastewater (24-h TU=435) was not explained only by Cr(VI) (24-h TU = 725 at $280\;mg\;L^{-1}$). Addition of nickel($29.5\;mg\;L^{-1}$) and copper ($26.5\;mg\;L^{-1}$) largely decreased the chromium toxicity up to 417 TU, indicating antagonistic interaction between heavy metals. This heavy metal interaction was successfully predicted by an equation of 24-h $TU\;=\;3.67\;{\times}\;\ln([Cu]\;+\;[Ni])\;+\;79.44$ at a fixed concentration of chromium.

Organic-inorganic hybrid sol-gel matrices were used as hosts for chloro (5, 10, 15, 20-tetraphenylporphyrinato) cobalt (III) (Co[TPP]Cl), a known ionophore for nitrite. The sol-gel precursor was prepared by the reaction of (3-isocyanopropyl) triethoxysilane with 1,4-butanediol. An appropriate amount of the anion-exchanger, tridodecylmethylammonium chloride (TDMAC) and the plasticizer, tributylphosphate (DBP) were used as membrane additives. On mixing with an acidic catalyst, the sol-state precursors slowly gelled, yielding a membrane in which the active components, Co[TPP]Cl and TDMAC, were encapsulated. The performances of the sol-gel membrane-based electrodes were compared to those of Co[TPP]Cl-based poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) membrane electrodes. Membranes with a molar ratio of Co[TPP]Cl: TDMAC (1 : 0.1) showed reasonable response slopes toward nitrite. The response slopes were typically 53 mV/decade between $10^{-5.4}$ and $10^{-1.0}\;M$. Selectivities toward nitrite over hydrophilic and small anions such as chloride were somewhat inferior to those observed with PVC-based membranes, but selectivities over lipophilic anions were quite similar. Reduced asymmetry potentials due to protein adsorption were found to occur with the sol-gel matrix relative to PVC-based films when the sensors were employed as a detector in flow-through configuration.

Although the importance of size-resolved raindrops study has been known, it has not been popularized up to the present. In the present study, an attempt was made to generalize the size-resolved raindrops study by a combination of the frozen raindrop collection method and a commercially available high-performance capillary electrophoresis (HPCE). Samplings were carried out at Kyoto, Japan in October 2002. The inorganic ions (chloride, nitrate, sulphate, calcium, ammonium, sodium, magnesium, potassium) in size classified raindrop samples were successfully analyzed by HPCE with good repeatability. To assure the accuracy and precision of HPCE data, t-test was conducted with paired analytical data, which were experimentally constructed by analyzing standard solutions with HPCE and IC, respectively. T-test showed that there is no notable difference between the concentrations determined by the two analytical methods. Every ionic concentration in both cation and anion was found to be strong raindrop size dependence. Though there was slight increase of sodium and sulphate concentrations between 0.85 mm and 1.15 mm raindrop radius, it showed a strong decrease for every ionic component with increasing droplet radius. The combination of the frozen raindrop collection method and a commercially available HPCE can meet the need of size-resolved raindrops study.
