This study was aimed to investigate the changes of chemical composition of the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from red pine needles in the process of needle abscission or senescence. The VOCs in intact, senescent, and litter red pine needle samples were analyzed by headspace-solid phase microextraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC/MS). And then, multivariate statistical interpretation of the processed data sets was conducted to investigate similarities and dissimilarities of the needle samples. Principal component analysis (PCA) and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) were used to investigate the dataset structure and discrimination between samples, respectively. From the data preview, the levels of major components of VOCs from needles were not significantly different between needle samples. By PCA investigation, the data reduction according to classification based on the chlorophyll a / chlorophyll b (Ca/Cb) ratio were found to be ideal for differentiating intact, senescent, and litter needles. The following OPLS-DA taking Ca/Cb ratio as y-variables showed that needle samples were well grouped on score plot and had the significant discriminant compounds, respectively. Several compounds had significantly correlated with Ca/Cb ratio in a bivariate correlation analysis. Notably, the litter needles had a higher content of oxidized compounds than the intact needles. In summary, we found that chemical compositions of VOCs between intact, senescent, and litter needles are different each other and several compounds reflect characteristic of needle.

본 연구는 감꽃의 주요 향기성분을 알아보기 위해서 감나무 수령별로 감꽃의 향기성분을 SPME를 이용하여 분석하고, 기관을 꽃과 꽃받침으로 분류하여 향기성분을 비교하였다. 감나무 수령별 감꽃의 만개율은 15년생 이상, 10-14년생, 5-9년생 순으로 수령이 오래될수록 초기 만개율이 높았다. 감나무 수령에 따른 감꽃 향기성분 분석 시 동정된 주요 향기 성분은 a-pinene, butene, caryophyllene, cubebene, lavandulol, D-limoneneylangene, ylangene 등의 성분을 얻을 수 있었다. 대부분이 green향, fruit계, floral계의 옅은 향도 포함하고 있었다. 감꽃에 존재하는 휘발성 향기성분의 수는 5-9년생은 30종, 10-14년생은 24종, 그리고 15년생 이상에서는 32종으로 수령이 5년 미만과 15년 이상에서 많은 향기성분이 조사되었다. 감꽃을 꽃받침과 나누어 향기성분을 비교하면 단감 '부유' 품종 중 꽃의 향기 성분은 10개이고 상대적인 총 함량은 26.35%이며, 꽃받침은 향기 성분은 14개이고 상대적인 총 함량은 46.28%로 꽃에 비해서 더 다양한 향기성분이 존재하는 것으로 조사되었다. 반면 떫은감 '둥시' 품종은 꽃에서는 6개의 향기성분이 17.58%, 꽃받침에서는 9개의 향기 성분이 50.27%로, '부유' 품종에 좀더 다양한 향기성분이 존재하였다. 본 연구는 감꽃 향기를 이용하고자 하는 향기산업에 기초자료를 제공하는데 기여할 것이다.

VOCs(Volatile Organic Compounds) have been recently enacted by several regulations to the environment since the end of 1990's. So, it need to control emissions of VOCs from industrial cite. VOC controls include all technologies which either collect the VOCs for recovery and reuse or destroy the VOCs. In this study, the VOC control technical trend was searched. Additionally, it was compared to the number of patent along to the year in Korea.

VOCs (Volatile Organic Compound) sensors were fabricated using $SnO_2$nanowires-based thin films and its gas sensing behaviors were studied. The $SnO_2$ nanowires synthesized from a thermal evaporation process were dispersed in a solution and the sensor film was prepared by dropping the slurry on the substrate with the electrodes and an embedded heater. The gas response (Ra/Rg, Ra: resistance in air, Rg: resistance in gas) to $30{\sim}40$ ppm Benzene, Ethyl Benzene, o-xylene were in the range of $39{\sim}42$, which were significantly higher than those to 50 ppm of CO, $CH_4$ and $C_3H_8$ ($12{\sim}19$).

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are a wide range of root-colonizing bacteria with the capacity to enhance plant growth and control plant pathogens. Here we review recent progress that indicate some PGPR strains release a blend of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that promote growth in Arabidopsis seedlings and induce resistance against Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora. In particular, the volatile components 2,3-butanediol and acetoin released exclusively from the PGPR strains triggered the greatest level of growth promotion and induced systemic resistance. Pharmacological applications of 2,3-butanediol promoted the plant growth and induced resistance, while bacterial mutants blocked in 2,3-butanediol and acetoin synthesis was devoid of growth-promotion and induced resistance capacities. The results suggested that the bacterial VOCs play a critical role in the plant growth promotion and induced resistance by PGPR. Using transgenic and mutant lines of Arabidopsis, we provide evidences that the signal pathway activated by volatiles from one PGPR strain is dependent on cyto-kinin activation for growth promotion and dependent on an ethylene-signaling pathway for induced pathogen resistance. This discovery provides new insight into the role of bacterial VOCs as initiators of both plant growth promotion and defense responses in plants.

Biofiltration is a bioprocess treating volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in order to convert the VOCs to harmless products. This review on biofiltration is intended to provide an engineering concept such as removal efficiency, maximum load, elimination capacity and so on. Besides, modeling concept of biofilter is also supplied for designing biofilter system. Quantitative data generated in our research group is shown to explain the engineering concept as well as the modeling idea.

Objectives: The concentrations and distribution characteristics of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in an industrial complex and surrouding affected residential areas were investigated in an effort to support the efficient management of VOCs. Methods: The atmospheric concentrations of VOCs were analyzed at sites around the Sihwa-Banwol complex located in the cities of Siheung and Ansan and in the surrounding affected residential areas. The appearance of VOCs and the characteristics of their temporal and spatial distribution were evaluated. Results: The total VOC concentrations in the industrial complex were detected at 1.9-2.3 times higher than in the affected areas, but the daily VOCs distributions showed similar patterns in both sites. In particular, it was confirmed that the composition ratio of the VOCs and concentration fluctuations over time in the affected areas are similar to those in the adjacent industrial complex. VOC levels in the affected areas were higher than in residential areas in cities without an industrial complex. Conclusions: VOCs in residential areas near an industrial complex were highly distributed due to the influence of continuous pollutant emissions from the industrial complex. Therefore, the management of VOCs in the atmosphere of the affected area is important for identifying and managing the sources of VOCs detected in high concentrations in the industrial complex.

PC/Monitor의 구성 전자부품으로부터 방출되는 휘발성 유기화합물(Volatile Organic Com-pounds,VOCs)를 분석하였다. Mpnitor를 구성하는 전자부품으로부터 연속으로 방출되는 VOCs의 경향을 시료챔버에 직접 연결되어있는 잔류가스 분석기(Residual Gas Analyzer,RG A)로 분석하였으며, 이들 전자부품에서 방출되는 VOCs의 성분을 RGA와 GC-MS로 분석하였다. 정성분석된 VOCs 중 소량으로 방출되거라도 불쾌한냄새와 건강상의 장해를 초래할 수 있는 toluene. xylene, cyclohexanone 및 benzofuran에 대하여 GC-MS로 정량분석하였다. 이러한 분석결과, 전자부품중 PCB(CEM-1)을제외하고 나머지 부품들은 가열시작 후 30분에서 1시간동안 toluene, xylene, cyclohexanone 및 phenol이 다량으로 연속 방출되는 경향을 나타내었으며, 거의 모든 전자부품에서 toluene, xylene, phenol, cyclohexanone 및 benzofuran 등의 물질들이측정시간 범위내에서 가장 빈번하게 방출되었다. 부품들 중 Trans가 가장 높은 VOCs의 방출농도를 보였으며, 전자부품으로부터 정량분석된 VOCs중에는 xylene의 방출농도가 550~2482 ${\mu}g/m^2$로 가장 크게 나타났다.
