1,4-Dioxane is used as a solvent for lacquers, paints, varnish removers, dye baths and printing compositions. And it is also used for detergent preparations, cosmetics, deodorants and fumigants. A method is described for the determination of 1,4-dioxane in water samples by GC/MS. The extraction recoveries were studied for some solvents and solvent volume ratio were investigated using r-butyl methyl ether (MTBE). Optimum condition was obtained by the liquid-liquid extraction using the 10 mL of MTBE for 10 mL of water. Method detection limit of 1,4-dioxane in the 20 mL of water samples was 0.05 ng/mL. It could be determined in the range of 0.24∼240 ng/mL in treated water, and in the range of 0.69∼81.9 ng/mL in raw water, respectively. Risk assessments with 1,4-dioxane exposure by drinking water ingestion were carried out. Based on the results of analysis, chronic daily intake of 1,4-dioxane was 2.22${\times}$10$\^$-4/ mg/kg/day and excess cancer risk was calcu-lated to be 2.44${\times}$10$\^$-6/.

A solid phase microextraction (SPME) method in combination with gas chromatography/mass spectrometric techniques was used for the extraction and quantification of 12 selected agrochemical residues in tobacco. The parameters such as the type of SPME fiber, adsorption/desorption time and the extraction temperature affecting the precision and accuracy of the SPME method were investigated and optimized. Among three types of fibers investigated, polyacrylate (PA), polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and polydimethylsiloxane-divinylbenzene (PDMS-DVB), PDMS fiber was selected for the extractions of the agrochemicals. The SPME device was automated and on-line coupled to a gas chromatograph with a mass spectrometer. Mass spectrometry (MS) was used and two different instruments, a quadrupole MS and triple quadrupole MS-MS mode, were compared. The performances of the two GC-MS instruments were comparable in terms of linearity (in the range of 0.01$\sim$0.5 $\mu$g/mL) and sensitivity (limits of detection were in the low ng/mL range). The triple quadrupole MS-MS instrument gave better precision than that of quadrupole MS system, but generally the relative standard deviations for replicates were acceptable for both instruments (< 15%). The LODs was fully satisfied the requirements of the CORESTA GRL. Recoveries of 12 selected agrochemicals in tobacco yielded more than 80% and reproducibility was found to be better than 10% RSD so that SPME procedure could be applied to the quantitative analysis of agrochemical residues in tobacco.

대기 중 휘발성유기물(VOC) 분석을 위해 가스시료 채취 용기로서 고분자 재질의 유연한 백(bag)이나 금속재질의 캐니스터 또는 유리병 등을 사용하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 가스시료 용기에 시료 채취 후 분석 시까지 단기 보관에 따른 휘발성시료의 농도 안정성을 다양한 용기에 대해 비교하였다. 시료용기로 폴리비닐플로라이드(polyvinyl fluoride, PVF), 폴리프로필렌(polypropylene, PP), 폴리에스터-알미늄(polyester aluminum, PE-Al) 재질의 폴리머백과 스테인레스 재질의 캐니스터 그리고 2종의 갈색유리병을 사용하였으며 VOC 시료로 100 nmol/mol의 벤젠, 톨루엔, 에틸벤젠, 자일렌, 스타이렌 표준가스를 사용하였다. 열탈착-가스크로마토그래프-불꽃이온화검출기(TD-GC-FID)를 사용하여 용기 종류별로 10~20일 동안 보관된 시료의 농도변화를 측정하였다. 캐니스터와 갈색병은 1주일 동안 큰 농도의 변화가 없었으며 2주까지도 처음 농도의 80 %이상 농도를 유지하였다. 폴리머재질의 모든 백(bag)형 용기의 경우는 벤젠과 톨루엔을 제외한 모든 성분이 1일 후에 처음 농도의 70 % 미만으로 큰 농도 변화를 보였다. 특히 에틸벤젠, 자일렌, 스티렌의 경우 처음 농도의 30 % 미만이 남아 매우 큰 농도 변화를 보였다.

공기분위기에서 PVC와 PS의 혼합 분해시 ZnO의 영향에 관한 연구를 혼합비율 및 반응온도를 변화시키며 TG와 GC-MS를 이용하여 수행하였다. 본 연구로부터 혼합물에 있어서 PS의 양이 증가할수록 액상 생성물은 증가하였으며 기상 생성물은 감소함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 혼합물에 있어서 ZnO의 첨가량이 증가할수록 가스 생성물과 염화수소의 발생량은 감소하였으며 ZnO/Mixture = 0.5인 경우 ZnO의 영향에 의하여 염화수소가 거의 생성되지 않음을 확인할 수 있었다.

The present study was designed to examine the concentrations, emission rates, and source characteristics of a variety of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in 30 newly-constructed apartment buildings by measuring indoor and outdoor VOC concentrations over a 2-year period. For comparison, seven villa-type houses were also surveyed for indoor and outdoor VOC concentrations over a 3-month period. Indoor and outdoor air samples were collected on Tenax-TA adsorbent and analyzed using a gas chromatograph (GC)/mass spectrometer system or a GC/flame ionization detector system coupled to a thermal desorption system. The long-term change in indoor VOC concentrations depended on the type of VOCs. Generally, aromatic (except for naphthalene), aliphatic, and terpene compounds exhibited a gradual deceasing trend over the 2-year follow-up period. However, the indoor concentrations of the six halogenated VOCs did not significantly vary with time changes. Similar to these halogenated VOCs, the indoor naphthalene concentrations did not vary significantly with time changes over the 2-year period. Unlike the halogenated VOCs, the indoor naphthalene concentrations were much higher than the outdoor concentrations. The indoor concentrations of aliphatic and aromatic compounds were higher for the villa-type houses when compared to those of apartment buildings. In addition, four source groups (floor coverings and interior painting, household products, wood paneling and furniture, moth repellents) and three source groups (floor coverings and interior painting, household products, and moth repellents) were considered as potential VOC sources inside apartment buildings for the first- and second-year post-occupancy stages, respectively.

The aim of this study was to analyze the chemical composition of 14 kinds of citrus oils and to test their biological activities. Citrus essential oils were obtained by steam distillation from immature fruits collected from Jeju Island and were analyzed using gas chromatograph (GC)-flame ionization detectors (FID) and GC-MS. Limonene (55.4% to 91.7%), myrcene (2.1% to 32.1%), ${\alpha}$-pinene (0.6% to 1.6%) and linalool (0.4% to 6.9%) were the major components in most citrus species. To evaluate in vitro antibacterial activity, all essential oils were tested against Propionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus epidermidis. Nine out of fourteen citrus oils exhibited antibacterial activity against P. acnes, but not against S. epidermidis. The effects of the citrus oils on DPPH radical scavenging, superoxide radical anion scavenging, nitric oxide radical, and cytotoxicity were also assessed. Three essential citrus oils, Joadeung, Dongjunggyul, and Bujiwha, exhibited potent inhibitory effects on nitric oxide production. Two essential oils, Dongjunggyul and Joadeung, showed potent free radical scavenging activities in the DPPH assay. For future applications in cosmetic products, we also performed MTT assays in a human dermal fibroblast cell line. The majority of the essential oils showed no cytotoxicity. The results indicate that citrus essential oils can be useful natural agents for cosmetic application.

This study was designed to analyze the chemical composition of essential oil in 'Shiranuhi' immature fruit and to test their biological activities. 'Shiranuhi' immature essential oils (SIEO) were obtained by steam distillation from fruits collected from Jeju Island and were analyzed using gas chromatograph (GC)-flame ionization detectors (FID) and GC-MS. Fourteen components were identified in the essential oil. Limonene (75.21%) and terpineol (8.68%) were the major components in SIEO. Since acne vulgaris is the combined result of a bacterial infection and the inflammatory response to that infection, we examined whether SIEO possessed antibacterial against skin pathogens. As a result, SIEO showed excellent antibacterial activities against drug-susceptible and -resistant Propionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus epidermidis, which are acne-causing bacteria. In this study, SIEO was examined on DPPH radical scavenging activities, which showed moderate antioxidant activity ($SC_{50}$, $15.36{\mu}L/mL$). In order to determined whether SIEO can be safely applied to human skin, the cytotoxicity effects of SIEO were determined by colorimetric MTT assays in normal human fibroblasts and keratinocyte HaCaT cells. They exhibited low cytotoxicity at $0.5{\mu}L/mL$ in both celllines. Based on these results, we suggest the possibility that essential oil of 'Shiranuhi' maybe considered as an antibacterial and antioxidant agent.

가소제는 딱딱한 특성을 지닌 플라스틱에 유연성 및 탄성을 주어 제품으로서의 부드러운 특성을 갖출 수 있도록 첨가되는 물질로서, 주로 고분자 물질에 첨가되어 유연성을 부여함으로써 가공성을 개선하고, 내한성, 내휘발성, 전기적 특성을 강화할 목적으로 이용되고 있다. 대부분의 가소제는 비활성 액체로서 용매의 기능과 유사한 역할을 하지만 분자량이 크고 휘발성이 없다. 또한, 석유화학제품에 용해되어 있는 경우, 다른 화합물과의 중첩효과(matrix effect)에 의해 가소제만을 분리하여 정성 및 정량분석하기에 어려움이 있다. 본 연구에서는 석유화학제품에서 검출될 수 있는 가소제의 대표적 성분인 DOA와 DOP에 대해 MD-GC/MS를 활용하여 정성 및 정량분석을 실시하여 최적의 가소제 분석 방법을 개발하고자 하였다.

PVC 및 PVDC 재질의 식품포장에 잔류할 수 있는 원료물질인 VC 및 VDC를 PLOT Q 컬럼이 장착된 headspace-GC/MS를 이용하여 분석하였다. VC 및 VDC 각각에 대하여 m/z=61, 62, 64 및 m/z=61, 96, 98 이온을 선택 이온으로 하여 분석하였으며, 내부표준 물질로는 1-CP를 사용하였다. 분석법 검증결과 본 연구에서 도입한 분석법은 유럽연합의 재질규격 시험에 적합하였으며, 국내유통 PVC 및 PVDC 재질의 식품 포장 103 품목에 대한 분석 결과, PVDC 식품포장 1건에서 재질 중 VDC가 검출되었으나, 이는 유럽연합에서 설정하고 있는 재질규격 이내에 드는 미미한 수준이었으며, 나머지 모든 시료에서는 VC 및 VDC가 검출되지 않았다.
