The purposes of daily cover are to control odor and volatile organic compound emissions, to control litters, to mitigate rainfall infiltration. Under usual operation of landfill, the soil layer of 15cm thick is used for daily cover, but about $20{\sim}$25% of landfill capacity is consumed by daily cover volume. Considering our limited land and difficulty in getting landfill site, developing an alternative daily cover material which usually occupies much less volume than soil will be very significant. Also, if we can use waste material for alternative daily cover, we can get additional benefit of recycling waste.

The antioxidant potential of mistletoe (Viscum album L. var. coloratum Ohwi; VAL) extract in uncooked pork patties was evaluated. Three concentrations of VAL extract (0.1 [T1], 0.5% [T2] and 1.0% [T3]) along with 0.02% ascorbic acid as a positive control (V) were added to ground pork and pork patties were prepared. Incorporation of VAL extract decreased (p<0.05) the pH of the pork patties throughout the storage time and reduced (p<0.01) the thiobarbituric acid reactive substance values after day 14 of storage. Total plate counts of the VAL extract-treated samples and V-treated samples were also significantly lower (p<0.01) than that of the control (C) throughout the storage period. In addition, odor scores of the VAL extract-treated patties were lower than those of the C- or V-treated samples on 3rd day of the storage period. These results demonstrated that the VAL extract acts as a natural antioxidant in uncooked pork products.

The effect of chitosan on physicochemical and organoleptic properties of Nabak kimchi was studied during fermentation at 2$0^{\circ}C$ . Viscosity of the juice of Nabak kimchi added with chitosan was lower than that of control group. The viscosity was gradually increased during storage period, especially from 5 days to ,7 days of storage. Initial pH was higher in control group than inchitosan groups. The pH of controlgroup decreased rapidly during 4 days of storage. The pH of chitosan groups was slightly increased during the first 3 days of storage and decreased thereafter. Acidity was rapidly increased from 3 to 5 days. Reducing sugar contents increased up to 3 days and decreased thereafter. Acidity was rapidly increased from 3 to 5 days. Reducing sugar contents increased upto 3 days and decreased therafter. Glutamic acid, alanine, threonine, aspartic acid, proline and valine were the major free amino acids, and as the fermentation preceeded they were increased gradually. There were signigicant differences in saltiness, sourness and aged odor in sensory evaluation of Nabak kimchi solution during fermentation at 2$0^{\circ}C$.

Gel-like compounds containing flammable solvents were prepared to use fur cleaning agents in field of innovative industries and general purposes. And experiments were conducted to improve the defects of liquified flammable solvents from the view point of safety and health hazards. Flammable solvents used in this study were several single component flammable solvents(turpentine oil, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone(NMP), d-limonene) and multi component flammable solvent(gasoline and ethanol). For gelation of flammable solvents, commercially Known as Aerosil(equation omitted) 200 fumed silica and triethanolamine(TEA) were used as gelation agent dispersant. The analyses on properties of gel-like compounds was studied by gelation and viscosity test pH test, volatility test and differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) measurement. The experimental results indicate that gel-like compounds containing flammable solvents have pH stability, high viscosity, volatile organic compounds(VOC) control by the decrease of volatility and odor component generation, fluidity control etc. From the experimental values, it can be predicted that the safety in the working place is improved by manufacturing flammable solvents into gel-like compounds.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of fermented earthworm cast feed prepared with three complexed probiotics containing Bacillus subtilis separated from the earthworm casts, on egg production, egg quality and odor removal from poultry house. A total of 240 laying hens were divided into 4 treatments and completely randomized. Experimental groups were divided into control, 0.3 to 0.5% (fermented earthworm cast feed FECF3, FECF5) and 0.2% commercial probiotics (CP). The egg production rate was significantly higher in the FECF groups compared to the control group fed the normal feed, but there was no difference in the CP group. Haugh units, egg shell thickness, breaking strength, egg yolk index and albumen height were increased in FECF groups compared to control but not in CP group. The n-3 content of eggs was higher in the FECF groups than in the control group, while the n-6/n-3 ratio was lower and there was no difference from the CP group. Ammonia production was lower in the CP and FECF groups compared to the control group after 5 days storage at room temperature to poultry feces.

Dongchun, one of the representative streams in urban area, is a downstream that is connected to Hogyechun, Bujeonchun, Jeonpochun, Danggamchun, and Gayachun as its upstream. Hogyechun has been mostly covered with concrete structures for decades, causing sewage pollution from the upstream, overflow of the downstream region and other serious pollution that gave rise to many civil complaints from the residents nearby. In this study, we analyzed 3 stations, including control station for water quality and malodor changes of Hogyechun after applying the microbial augmentation (BM-2) for a few months including the rainy season. Amounts (g/h) of DO in the middle site (Middle) and the downstream site (Borim) increased by 1.7 times compared with the upstream site (Chuhae) after augmentation for about 2 months. Amounts (g/h) of COD and $NO_3{^-}N$ decreased by 2 and 1.7 times, respectively, in the middle and downstream sites while SS increased by 7.5 and 22 times in the middle and downstream sites, respectively. Moreover, odor removal efficiencies at the middle and downstream sites were 65% and 19%, respectively, indicating the microbial activity in reduction of malodor in the polluted stream. The dominant microbial species of the sampling sites were Hydrogenophaga caeni, Sphaerotilus natans, Acidovorax radicis, Acidovorax delafieldii, and Cloacibacterium rupense. Densities of the two species Sphaerotilus natans and Acidovorax delafieldii were significantly increased in the middle site after augmentation which possessed potential odor removal and denitrification activity, respectively. Potential pathogens (e.g., Arcobacter cryaerophilus) were also removed from the middle site after the implementation.

In this study, the control efficiency of odorous compounds was measured from diverse control process units of 14 individual companies located within the Ban-Wall industrial complex of Ansan city, Korea (January to July 2005), To quantify the control efficiency levels of major odorous compounds, we collected odor samples from both the front and rear side of 17 control process units ($N=17{\times}2=34$). If the control efficiency is compared for each of 32 compounds between different process units, wet scrubber (WS) was found to be the most effective unit in terms of the sum of pollutants showing the positive control signals. Although the WS system shows generally a good control pattern for VOC, it is not the case for most index odorous pollutants; only 3 out of 12 index compounds were found to show positive control efficiencies. The results of the study also indicated that the control efficiency differ greatly between different industrial sectors and/or control process types. In the case of leather industry, carbonyl compounds were found to exhibit the highest control efficiency with its values varying from 19 to 90%. On the other hand, in the case of metal production sector, VOC recorded the maximum control efficiency with values varying from 18 to 79%. According to this study, most air pollution control facilities operated in most companies show fairly poor control efficiencies for most malodor compounds. Hence, to obtain best control efficiency of odorous pollutant emission, acquisition of better information on source characteristics and establishment of effective control technologies are highly demanding.

This study investigated the physicochemical, antioxidative activity, and sensory characteristics of yanggaeng prepared with various amounts of peach powder. According to the results, the pH of yanggaeng was decreased significantly by addition peach powder, but total titratable acidity of yanggaeng was increased significantly by addition peach powder. The sweetness ($^{\circ}brix%$) and moisture content of groups by the addition of peach powder were lower than those of control group. At the result of color measurement, L value of groups by the addition of peach powder was lower than that of control group, but a value and b value of groups by the addition of peach powder were higher. Texture measurement score in terms of hardness and brittleness for yanggaeng were increased significantly by addition peach powder. The contents of DPPH radical scavenging activity, and ABTS radical scavenging activity of groups by the addition of peach powder were higher than those of control group. As peach powder increased, antioxidative activity also became bigger. Sensory evaluation scores in terms of after swallowing, appearance, odor, taste, texture, and overall preference of groups with 4% and 6% peach powder were higher significantly when compared to the control group.

The quality characteristics of breads with different concentrations(2%, 4%) of Paecilomyces japonica (J2, J4) and Cordyceps militaris (M2, M4) powder were compared in terms if sensory and mechanical properties. In the sensory test, J2 and M2 groups gained good scores in taste, texture and odor acceptance as control grourp. Paecilomyces japonica-added group showed higher moisture and bigger volume than that of control group, and Cordyceps militaris group showed lower moisture content and decreasing volume. 'L' values of J and M groups was lower than control, and the longer the storage period, the lower the lightness. The more Paecilomyces japonica was added, the higher the 'a' value was, but Cordyceps militaris showed an opposite trend. The hardness of the bread was the lowest in J2 group and the highest in M4 group, and the longer tile storage period. the higher the hardness was (p＜.001). Overall, the addition of 2% Paecilomyces japonica showed a similar tendency with control group, and showed good scores especially in acceptance, moisture and volume. Paecilomyces japonica appeared to be more desirable than Cordyceps militaris.

In Korea, studies on the indoor air quality have been conducted since mid of 1980s. The turning point occurred in 2003 by establishing the act of the indoor air quality management for public facilities. According to the law, the basic plan for indoor air quality management is prepared by government every five years, affecting greatly governmental policy and related academia and industries. Indoor air quality survey was mostly carried out among indoor air quality researches. After then, assessment of health effect and air cleaning technology were studied. Although various control technologies for particle, bioaerosol, odor, and hazardous chemicals have been applied to indoor environments, breakthrough technologies are needed to solve real problems facing at the applied environments. In the future, issue of indoor air quality is more interested and both management policy and control technology are key factors in order to realize comfort and healthy indoor environments.
