  • Some phototoxicity of titanium dioxide nanoparticles ($TiO_2$ NPs) has been reported in recent years in studies with fish embryos or larvae. However, it is necessary to focus on the potential effects of embryonic exposure due to irreversible abnormalities and mortalities observed in sac-fry, and to expand various fish embryos to generate multiple test species. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of $TiO_2$ NPs under different irradiation conditions in exposed Oryzias latipes (O. latipes) at the embryonic and sac-fry stages. The effects of different irradiation conditions were observed using ultra-violet (UV) and visible light, and the corresponding effects were monitored by determining cumulative mortality and abnormality. O. latipes were exposed for 8 d to 0, 1, 5, 10, or 50 mg/L $TiO_2$ NPs under UV ($4,818.86mW/m^2$ at the bottom of clear vials) or visible light, after which the embryos were transferred to NP-free embryo-rearing solution until 16 days post fertilization (dpf). Abnormalities of embryos and sac-fry increased at high $TiO_2$ NP concentrations under UV irradiation, compared to control samples treated with visible light or UV irradiation alone. This work provides information regarding the phototoxicity of $TiO_2$ NPs using O. latipes at the embryonic and sac-fry stages.

  • Phenothiazines류의 약물 중 Chlorpromazine, perhenazine, trifluoperazine, thioridazin의 광독성에 대한 ascorbic acid의 영향을 조사 연구하였다. 각 약물 농도를 $50;\mu\textrm{g}$/ml로하고 UVA(350nm, 2.5mV/cm)로 조사기간은 30분으로 하여 적혈구의 광용혈현상을 Kahn 등의 방법에 의해 spectrophotometer로 측정한 결과 Chlorpromazine, perphenazine, thioridazine에 의한 광용혈도 정도는 ascorbic acid에 의해 유의성 있게 감소되었다. 또한 적혈구를 가하기 전 각 약물을 미리 조사시켜 생성된 물질에 의한 광용혈현상의 광독성 생성물질은 chlorpromazine과 thioridazine에서 보여졌으며, chlorpromazine의 광독성 생성물질에 의한 적혈구 용혈현상만 ascorbic acid에 의해 감소되었다.

  • 현대산업에서 나노기술의 이용성이 증가되면서 나노물질이 가질 수 있는 잠재적인 위해성에 대한 관심이 증가되고 있는 추세이다. 나노물질은 다양한 경로를 통해 환경으로 유출되고 있으며, 수생태계로 유출된 나노물질은 태양광에 포함된 자외선에 노출될 개연성이 높다. 광반응성 나노물질은 광활성 조건에서 생태독성이 변화할 가능성이 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 광반응성 나노물질이 생태계에서 자외선에 노출되었을 때 유발될 수 있는 생태독성 변화에 대한 연구동향을 파악하고자, 수서 및 토양생물을 대상으로 가용한 모든 자료를 조사하여 분석하였다. 본 연구에서 조사된 광반응성 나노물질은 zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, 그리고 fullerene이었으며, 미생물, 지렁이, 토양선충, 조류, 그리고 어류 등을 대상으로 한 나노물질 생태독성연구를 분석하였다. 그 결과, 자외선에 노출된 나노물질의 광독성영향에 대한 연구는 현재까지 매우 부족한 상태로, 현재까지 발표된 나노물질에 대한 광독성 연구는 8개였고, 일부 연구에서는 광반응성 나노물질의 광이온화와 나노물질로부터 용출된 이온독성을 함께 제시하였다. 광반응성 나노물질은 생체 내에서 산소활성종 생성을 유발하고 산화스트레스를 증가시키는 것으로 확인되었다.

  • Many polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) are acutely toxic to fish and other aquatic organisms in the presence of environmentally realistic intensities of solar ultraviolet radiation (SUVR). The phototoxicity of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) occurs through photodynamic activation of PAH compounds. Oxygen molecules react as quenchers with excited triplet states of PAHs producing reactive oxygen species (ROS).(omitted)

  • Interview survey and dermatological examination have been performed to investigate the health problems of workers continuously exposed to coal-tar pitch. The phototoxicity of coal-tar pitch was confirmed by the photopatch tests for six healthy adults. The main results are followings; 1. There was no special history of allergic diseases in both the exposed and non-exposed group. 2. The frequency of the phototoxic dermatosis and the coal-tar acne in the exposed group was significantly greate.(p<0.05) than that of the control group. In the exposed group, the phototoxic dermatosis and the coal-tar acne were observed in nine workers(90%) and seven workers(70%), respectively. However, those, disease were not observed in the control group. 3. Five results(83%) were positive to the photopatch test for coal-ta. pitch 48 hours after UVA irradiation. But the lesion was subsiding 72 hours after UVA irradiation. 4. Malignant cancers were not reported among workers ever exposed to coal-tar pitch. In conclusion, it appears that workers exposed to coal-tar pitch have high risks of phototoxic dermatosis and coal-tar acne. A health policy should be provided to prevent phototoxic dermatosis among coal-tar pitch workers. More studies are required to determine malignancy.
