  • Quadrupole Mass Spectrometers (QMS) is a very useful tool in vacuum process diagnosis. Tungsten filament based ion sources are vulnerable to contamination from process gas monitoring. Common symptoms of quadrupole mass spectrometer malfunction is appearance of unwanted contaminant mass peaks or no detection of any ion peaks. We disassembled used quadrupole mass spectrometer and found out black insulating deposits on inside of ion source parts. Five steps of cleaning procedure were applied and almost full restoration of functions were confirmed in two types of closed ion source quadrupole mass spectrometer. By using a numerical modeling (CFD-ACE+) technique, the electric potential profile of ion source with/without insulating deposit was calculated and showed the possibility of quadrupole mass spectrometer malfunction by the deterioration of designed potential profile inside the ion source.

  • 본 연구는 DRASTIC 모델에 구소선밀도, 토지이용 인자를 추가한 수정 DRASTIC 모델을 개발하여 경기도 화남2지구의 지하수오염 가능성을 예측하고자 하였다. 우리나라의 수리지질 환경에서 대수층은 대부분 암반 대수층인 점을 고려했을 때, 구조선밀도는 지하수 및 오염물질 유동에 직접적인 영향을 미치고, 토지이용은 점오염원 혹은 비점오염원의 영향을 간접적으로 반영할 수 있기 때문이다. 통계분석을 위하여 각 인자별 격자 레이어를 생성하고, 각각의 상관계수를 분석함으로써 신뢰도 여부를 판단하였다. 최종 결과물인 종합오염현황도는 수정 DRASTIC Potential과 여러 가지 오염원의 발생 부하량 값을 논리비교함으로써 수리지질학적인 측면에서의 오염가능성 지역과 수질측면에서의 오염가능성 지역을 예측할 수 있는 방안을 제시할 수 있었다.

  • 본 연구는 순환골재에서 발생하는 오염물질의 특성과 오염가능성을 평가하기 위해 생산제품 순환골재의 용출시험을 실시하였다. 순환골재에 포함된 pH, 전기전도도, 탁도, TN, TP, COD 그리고 중금속 농도는 입경이 작을수록 높은 농도를 나타냈다. pH 농도는 9.9~11.4 범위로 토양보다는 높았으나 중금속 농도는 토양오염우려기준의 1지역 기준치 이내로 조사되었다. 용출시험 결과, 오염가능성은 입자크기가 작을수록 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 전기전도도와 탁도는 잠재적인 수질오염원이며, 10mm 이하의 순환골재는 용존성과 입자성 오염물질을 발생시킬 수 있기 때문에 잠재적인 오염원으로 평가되었지만, 현재 적절한 관리기준은 없다. 순환골재로 부터 수질오염 가능성을 평가한 결과, 오염가능성이 가장 높은 항목으로는 pH, 오염가능성이 낮은 항목으로는 TN, TP, 오염가능성이 가장 낮은 항목으로는 중금속으로 나타났다.

  • 본 연구는 GIS를 활용하여 미국 EPA에서 개발한 DRASTIC 모델에 구조선 밀도, 토지이용을 추가한 변형된 DRASTIC 모델을 개발하고 경기도 평택군 지역의 지하수 오염 가능성을 평가하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서 부가적인 인자를 사용한 이유는 구조선 밀도의 경우 우리 나라의 수리지질 환경에서 대수층은 대부분 암반 대수층인 점을 고려했을 때, 지하수 및 오염 물질 유동에 있어서 구조선의 역할이 매우 중요하기 때문이며, 토지 이용은 점오염원 혹은 비점오염원의 영향을 간접적으로 연구지역에 적용할 수 있기 때문이다. 통계적인 분석을 위하여 각각의 인자별 벡터 레이어를 격자 레이어로 전환하고 각 인자별 상관계수. 3 방향의 주성분 분석에 의한 공분산. 고유치, 고유벡터 등을 구하여 인자들간의 상관관계를 비교 분석하였다. 또한 일반적인 DRASTIC 레이어와 구조선 밀도 레이어, 토지이용 레이어간의 상관계수를 각각 구하고, 이를 각각의 가중치로 적용하여 최종적인 변형된 DRASTIC 모델을 구축하였다. 변형된 DRASTIC 모델을 사용한 결과 일반적인 DRASTIC 모델에 비해 오염 가능 지역이 많이 세분화되었고. 그 결과 오염 가능성이 높은 취약 지역을 구체적으로 구분할 수 있었다.

  • This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the present status of several environmental problems caused by emerging toxic substances such as persistent organic pollutants (POPs), endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), and arsenic in various environmental media in Vietnam. Monitoring data reported during the 1990s demonstrated elevated contamination of DDTs in most of these compartments in Vietnam. Studies in frame of the Asia-Pacific Mussel Watch Program revealed that fish, mussels and resident birds from Vietnam contained higher concentrations of DDTs as compared to other countries in region, suggesting the role of Vietnamese environment as a significant emission source of DDT in the Southeast Asian region. The estimated dietary intakes of PCBs and DDTs for Vietnamese were relatively high among Asian developing countries, suggesting potential risk for humans posed by thesechemicals. Widespread contamination of some endocrine active compounds such as alkylphenols and phthalates was observed at various sites along the coasts of northern and middle Vietnam. The presence of significant source of bisphenol-A along Red River estuary was revealed with the concentrations comparable to those reported for developed nations. A case study on seasonal variation of alkylphenols and phthalates in surface water of river delta and estuary of north and middle Vietnam indicated the differences in distribution of these compounds between dry and rainy seasons. Higher concentrations of alkylphenols and phthalates were found in dry season in estuary; while the contrasting pattern was observed in the river delta, showing elevated residues in rainy season. This result suggests the different behavior of alkylphenols and phthalates in river delta and coastal environment. From ecotoxicological perspectives, concentrations of bis-phenol A and di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalates [DEHP] in surface water from some locations in Vietnam exceeded the guideline values for Ecotoxicological Effects and the Environmental Risk Limit, respectively, suggesting potential for toxic implications on aquatic wildlife. Widespread and elevated arsenic contamination was discovered inour recent surveys in groundwater in a large area of suburban areas of Hanoi city, the capital of Vietnam. The most recent investigation in 4 villages showed about more than 50 % of groundwater samples contained As concentrations exceeding 50 g/L (the WHO and Vietnamese standard). In particular, in Son Dong villages, 58 % of samples analyzed contained As concentrations higher than 200 g/L. Good correlations were found in As concentrations in water and hair and urine of peoples in corresponding families, suggesting the chronic exposure to As by people living in As-contaminated ground water areas. In Son Dong village, As levels in hair (mean: 1.7 mg/kg dry wt) and urine (g/g creatinine) exceeding the reference values recommended by WHO, suggesting potential for human risk posed by long term accumulation of As in human body. Future studies should be focused on the time trends of POPs and EDCs in biota in Vietnam in order to predict future trend of contamination and to reveal new clues for understanding possible toxic impacts on aquatic organisms. The issues of arsenic contamination in groundwater and their chronic toxic implications on human health should be systematically investigated in the future.

  • In this research potential liquation of contaminants from surrounding soil to a reservoir in an island was studied to investigate the cause and route of contamination of Baengyeong-myeon reservoir. Soil of Baengyeong-myeon reservoir consists of $SiO_2$ and has a high iron content because of geological characteristics of its country rock. From the field investigation and simulation study it was found that highly accumulated carbon content in the reservoir sediment was incurred from ground water, which provides a good habitat for microbes. And the liquation, the cause of organics growth, occurs mainly on the bottom of the reservoir consisting marine clay layer once used as farmland. So dredging of the sediment of reservoir and replacing with valley soil is suggested to prevent continuous contamination of a reservoir in an island due to COD production.

  • Background: Storage reservoirs of radioactive waste could be the source of atmospheric pollution due to the efflux of aqueous aerosol from their water areas. The main mechanism of formation of aqueous aerosols is the collapse of gas bubbles at the water surface. In this paper, we discuss the potential influence of biological factors on gas ebullition in the water areas of the radioactively contaminated industrial reservoirs R-9 (Lake Karachay) and R-4 (Metlinsky pond) of the Mayak PA. The emission of the released non-dissolved gases captured with gas traps in reservoir R-9 was (88-290) ml/m2 per day (2015) and in reservoir R-4 (270-460) ml/m2 per day (2016). The analysis of gas composition in reservoir R-4 (60% methane, 35% nitrogen, 2.4% oxygen, 1.5% carbon dioxide) confirms their biological origin. It is associated with the processes of organic matter destruction in bottom sediments. The major source of organic matter in bottom sediments is the dying phytoplankton developing in these reservoirs. Conclusion: The obtained results form the basis to set a task to quantify the relationship between the phytoplankton development, gases ebullition and radioactive atmosphere contamination.

  • Soybean curd residue (SCR), known as a major waste product of soybean processing, is the water-insoluble fraction which is removed by filtration during soymilk production. For these reasons, SCR was usually considered as food waste. SCR might have a good potential as a functional food material, value-added processing and utilization. SCR contains high-quality protein and consists of a good source of nutrients, including protein, oil, dietary fiber, minerals, along with un-specified monosaccharides and oligosaccharides. Also, SCR might be a potential source of low cost protein for human consumption. However, SCR could be a source of bacterial contamination when during food processing. This study was aimed to investigate antibacterial capacity of natural product through detecting relationship between SCR and microbial. We isolated five bacterial strains from SCR and elucidated antibacterial activity of nature medicines to extend storage capacity of food made with SCR. Thus, the extract which showed antibacterial effects in Corynebacterium calloonae and Raoultella amithinolytica is a combination of seven kinds of extracts: Glycyrrhiza uralensis, Cudrania tricuspidata, Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge, blueberry, Acorus gramineus, Ginkgo biloba L., Camellia sinensis. This study suggested that antibacterial activities of natural medicines could be used for extension of storage capacity in SCR-contained food.

  • Spilling of petroleum hydrocarbons such as gasoline, motor oils, and diesel fuel from underground storage tanks (USTs) is a major source of contamination to ground water and soils. In response to the need of developing an effective and economical cleanup technique, this study investigates the effectiveness of using sonication to enhance the soil flushing method. The study involves laboratory testing, and the testing was conducted using a specially designed and fabricated device to determine the effect of sonication on contaminant removal. The sonication was applied at 20 kHz frequency under different power levels. Test soil was Joomoonjin Sand, and diesel fuel was used as a contaminant of soil flushing test. The results of the investigation show that sonication enhanced the contaminant removal from soils significantly, and the degree of enhancement varied with power levels of sonication. Based on the results of the study, it is concluded that the flushing method with sonication has a great potential to become an effective method for removing petroleum hydrocarbons from the contaminated ground.
