  • The surveillance programme of work-related diseases (WRD) is based on a network of occupational physicians who notify all WRD diagnosed during a two-week observation period. The aims are mainly to estimate the prevalence of non-compensated WRD in the working population according to socio economic factors; to determine new indicators of occupational health; to update the lists of compensable occupational diseases; to understand and assess under-compensation and under-notification. The participation rate for occupational physicians is around 33% in 2008. The main WRD are the musculoskeletal disorders, followed by the mental disorders. This 2-week protocol, repeated regularly, provides useful data on frequency of pathologies linked to employment as well as an estimate of unreported WRD subject to compensation or non-compensated WRDs, and the trends of WRDs over the time.

  • In order to produce alkaline protease, psychrotrophic Bacterium which have high enzyme activity, was isolated by using enrichment culture from soil samples and identified as genus Bacillus sp. The optimal pH and temperature for the enzyme activity were pH 6 and $40^{\circ}C$. The temperature range of high enzyme activity was $20{\sim}40^{\circ}C$. The optimal initial pH of culture condition for enzyme was pH 6. The most favorable carbon and nitrogen sources for the production of protease by Bacillus sp. WRD-2 were 3% maltose and 4% yeast extract, respectively.

  • In this study, the metastable state diamond thin films have been deposited on Si substrates from methand-hydrogen and oxygen mixture usin gMicrowave Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (MWPCVD) method. effects experimental parameters MWPCVD including methan concentrations, oxygen additions, operating pressure, deposition time on the growth rate and crystallinity were investigated. diamond thin film was synthesized under the following conditions: methane concentration of 0.5%(0.5sccm)∼5%(5sccm). oxygen concentration of 0∼80%(2.4sccm). operating pressure of 30Torr∼ 70Torr, deposition time of 1∼32hr. SEM, WRD, and Raman spectroscopy were employed to analyse the growth rate and morphology, crystallinity and prefered growth direction, and relative amounts of diamond and non=diamond phases respectively.

  • Metal mining district drainage is a well recognized source of environmental contamination. Oxidation of metal sulfides produces acidic and metal-rich waters that contaminate local surface water and ground water in mines, mine dumps, and tailing impoundments. This monitoring study was carried out to investigate the stream water quality and pollution as affected by the Sambo mine drainage in relation to the relative distance from the mine. It obvious that pH values of the mine drainage ranged from 5.8 to 6.9, while the average concentrations of the dissolved chemical constituents for EC, $SO_4^{2-}$, $K^+$, $Ca^{2+}$, and $Mg^{2+}$ were $1.77\;dS\;m^{-1}$, 929, 14.6, 263.3, and 46.9 mg/L in mine drainage discharged from the main waste rock dumps (WRD), respectively. Furthermore, EC values and sulfate concentrations exceeded the critical toxicity levels in agricultural water for rice plant ($1.0\;dS\;m^{-1}$ for EC and 54.0 mg/L for $SO_4^{2-}$). Also, the average of dissolved cadmium concentrations ($0.016{\sim}0.021\;mg/L$) was higher than water quality standard (0.01 mg/L) for agricultural water in Korea, in addition to Zn, Fe and Mn were higher than trace metals maximum concentrations which recommended by FAO for irrigation water. The results indicate that mine drainage discharged from the Sambo mine affected stream water at least to distance of 1 km downstream of the mine water discharge point. EC values, $SO_4^{2-}$ and $Ca^{2+}$ concentrations in discharged water positively correlated with dissolved Cd, Zn, Al and Mn concentrations, while the pH values negatively correlated. In addition, EC values, $SO_4^{2-}$ and $Ca^{2+}$ concentrations were negatively correlated with pH values.
