Recently the bioremediation technology has been widely used to recover the oil contaminated environments The application of bioremediation agents to oil polluted environments became common and thus many kinds of commercial products were imported into domestic market. In Korea, howcver. the standardization of bioremediation products quality is not yet established and results of efficacy test .ire scarce. In this study five oil spill bioremediation commercial products including microbial inoculants and en'cyme agents are tested for the oil degradation rate. From the results most products shows the strong oil emulsifying phenomena due to the contained chemical oil dispersant and the low oil degradation rate. Product D inhibited the oil degradability of microorganisms even in the natural sea water. From these results it could be concluded that in the near future the laboratory protocol and standardization of products quality for bioremediarion agents should be prepared to activate the effective application of bioremediation technology in Korea.

For the purpose of the quality control of Poria cocos, three major compounds were isolated and identified as pachymic acid (1), $3{\beta}-hydroxylanosta-7,9(11),24-trien-21-oic$ acid (2), and dehydroeburicoic acid (3). The optimal extraction conditions for the quantification of pachymic acid its analogues were the 3 hours of reflux with 15g of P. cocos in 100ml 95% ethanol. HPLC conditions were as follows: Column; ZORBAX Eclipse XDB C18 $(4.6{\times}250\;mm,\;Agillent)$, mobile phase; 1% HOAc in 70% $MeOH{\rightarrow}1%$ HOAc in 100% MeOH for 25 min, then 1% HOAc in 100% MeOH for 15 min, detector, ELSD, flow rate; 1ml/min. The mean contents of 1,2, and 3 in Poria cocos cultivated at 18 different site were $0.65{\pm}0.19,\;0.88{\pm}0.72,\;and\;0.84{\pm}0.54\;mg/g$, respectively, and values might be the guide line for the quality control of P. cocos.

This review surveys the recent literature on the neurodevelopmental impacts of chemical exposures during pregnancy. The review focuses primarily on chemicals of recent concern, including phthalates, bisphenol-A, polybrominated diphenyl ethers, and perfluorinated compounds, but also addresses chemicals with longer histories of investigation, including air pollutants, lead, methylmercury, manganese, arsenic, and organophosphate pesticides. For some chemicals of more recent concern, the available literature does not yet afford strong conclusions about neurodevelopment toxicity. In such cases, points of disagreement among studies are identified and suggestions provided for approaches to resolution of the inconsistencies, including greater standardization of methods for expressing exposure and assessing outcomes.

Objectives: This study has been done to make sure the Gypsum's standardization in medical use. Gypsum has a quality for removing pathogenic heat from the stomach meridian function and headache. Methods: I studied the herbalogical Gypsum and compared its' compositions and character before and after high temperature burning. Results: Gypsum and Lishi(理石) are the sulfate which is made of $CaSO_4{\cdot}2H_2O$, Feldspar is a Calcite, Hanshuishi(寒水石) and Ningshuishi(凝水石) are not a Gypsum but a Magnesium Sulfate($MgSO_4$) and Kalium Sulfate($K_2SO_4$). Conclusion: Real Gypsum is supposed to be Yiong cheng${\setminus}$(應城) Gypsum. Chemical edible Gypsum isn't appropriated to be used in medicine.

Photocatalytic degradation using $TiO_2$ Particles suspended in a reactor was experimentally performed to degrade the formaldehyde of indoor pollutants. Exponential increase of degradation appears to prove light availability due to the scattering of W light by particles themselves. Comparative removal studies of formaldehyde were done in both cases of dipping and spraying immobilized techniques of $TiO_2$ Particles suspended in solution. Experiments were performed under several different experimental conditions such as initial concentration of formaldehyde, UV intensity and concentration of photocatalysts. Optimal conditions to degrade formaldehyde were obtained under the conditions of $30\;mg/cm^2$ concentration of catalyst and UV intensity of 30 Watt at the distance of 30 cm using immobilized technique by dipping coating.

Objectives: This study has been done to compare the Haematite's composition before and after using processing method and to clarify its quality and naming through the historical herbal books. Methods: I studied the Haematite and processed Haematite using physical and chemical methods which contain microscopic analysis, X-ray diffraction analysis, thermal analysis, XRF, ICP, etc, to compare the compositions and its characters. Results: Haematite is a metallic oxide(Hematite, $Fe_2O_3$). Haematite contains a main ingredients of crude Haematite Fe 40.336% - 62.174%, processed Haematite $50.499%{\sim}62.791%$(a theory value is 69.944% the korean pharmacopoeia wants >45%) and small ingredients, also. Conclusion: A radio-element contents of U, Th contain less than average contents of the lithosphere's U 1.8ppm, Th 7.2ppm.

This investigation was carried out to find out the biological contamination, nitrogen compounds, physical and chemical test in fermented sea fishes. 60 species sample were collected from farm village, fishing village and free markets, its hygienical test period is taken about two years. The examined results obtained are as in bollow. 1. $hNO_3,\;HNO_2,\;NH_3-N$ was detected whole samples. 2. Some fermented sea fishes was showed under the exhortation quality. 3. Nitrogen compound really produce N-Nitrosoamine. 4. The amine compounds are caused of cancer and malignant disease. 5. All container, storaged method, processing method and delivery method are must be improve. 6. It is neccessary to do instruction for fermented sea fishes really meaning and attain to a fixed standardization.

This study was conducted to determine the optimum conditions for the preparation of traditional Korean whole cabbage Kimchi with salted shrimp. Sensory, physical and chemical characteristics of Kimchi with various salted shrimp level(1.8, 3.6%), fermentation time(12, 24, 36 hrs) and storage period(1, 4, 7 days) were measured. As the fermentation time and storage day were extended, pH of Kimchis decreased but titratable acidity of Kimchis increased. The more salted shrimp in Kimchi resulted in the higher titratable acidity. The longer fermentation time and the longer storage resulted in the more citric, malic and succinic acid, and the less lactic and acetic acid in Kimchi. The optimum conditions for the preparation of Korean whole cabbage Kimchi were 3.6% salted shrimp level, 12 hours fermentation time and 84 hours(3.5 days) storage period.

In this paper a series of developing process for an insulator which can be employed in overhead distribution lines, using polymeric composite materials, is introduced. In order to design an insulator for heavily polluted area, weathershed of alternating type was adopted, which could have longer leakage distance. Modified EVA was used as surface material which has good electrical and mechanical characteristics as well as superior chemical stability. FRP core was covered with above surface material through heat shrinking process. By standardization of each process, higher productivity and lower production cost could be ensured. The developed insulator has been put under various tests including long-term field test and artificial aging test and satisfactory results were obtained.

Assessment of root weight grade system for the numeral definition in Korea ginseng was tried by investigation of 13 boxes of the 15-root-grade of 4-year-old white ginseng as a model. In this case satisfaction to theoretical value was 58% in root weight and 50% in root number. The coefficient of variation (CV) was high (35%) for individual root weight in package. The CV of tap root weight 1 among package is low (7.1%) even though there was no significant correlation between tap root weight : and lateral root weight among roots. The mean percentage of tap root to root weight in each package ranged 61 to 74% with CV range of 16.5 to 33.2%. The CV was not much different between 1st and 2nd lateral root weight and the means was above 60%. Strict practice of numeral definition of root weight grade system will be prerequisite for chemical standardization of Korea ginseng.
