This study was carried out to establish the standardized analysis method in order to decide accurate concentrations of hazardous metals in the air. Acid decomposition method used usually was compared to microwave digestion method. Comparing results of tested background concentration in blank filter, we found that the magnitude of element concentration was Na, Ca, K, Mg, Al and Ba by order. The element concentrations of Glass fiber filter were higher than those of Quartz fiber filter, and the number of undetected components in Glass fiber filter was lower than that in Quartz fiber filter. Thus it is supposed that the concentration of background elements in Glass fiber filter was higher than those in Quartz fiber filter The extraction rate of microwave digestion method was superior to those of acid decomposition method during the test of blank filter as well as SRM of NIST. In case of the SRM of NIST, the average extraction efficiency of acid decomposition Method and microwave pretreatment is 53.8∼82.7％, 81.3∼97.1％, respectively. This result might be caused by the closed system of Microwave, which make outflow and loss of components less. Also microwave digestion method has other merits such as the minimization of time, reagents, and contamination. Furthermore, if the extraction condition, extraction time and used acids are optimized, the better results will be represented.

Background: Medical laboratory workers are frequently exposed to a wide range of chemicals. This exposure can have adverse effects on their health. Furthermore, a knowledge lack of the chemical risk increases the likelihood of exposure. The chemical risk assessment reduces the risk of exposure to hazardous chemicals and therefore, guarantees health and safety of the workers. Method: The chemical risk assessment was conducted using a modified INRS method, according to the new CLP Regulation, of 11 unit laboratories in a Moroccan medical laboratory. Observation of each workstation and analysis of safety data sheets are key tools in this study. Results: A total of 144 substances and reagents that could affect the health of the analytical technicians were identified. Among these products, 17% are concerned by the low priority risk score, with 55% concerned by the average priority risk score and 28% concerned by the high priority risk score. This study also enabled to better identify the chemical agents that have restrictive occupational exposure limit value and controls were conducted to this effect. On the basis of the results obtained, several corrective and preventive measures have been proposed and implemented. Conclusion: Risk assessment is essential to ensure the health and safety of workers and to meet regulatory requirements. It enables to identify all the risky manipulations and to adopt appropriate preventive measures. However, it is not a one-time activity but it must be continuous in order to master the changes and thus ensure the best safety of all.

영산강 수계 광주천, 황룡강, 지석천, 영산강 상류 유역내에 분포된 9개 업종 76개 배출원의 원폐수 및 방류수로부터 20개 유기화학물질 tetrachloroethylene, toluene, ethylbenzene, p-xylene, m-xylene, isopropyl benzene, stylene, bromobenzene, 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene, 2-chlorotoluene 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene, p-isopropyltoluene, 4-chlorotoluene, n-butylbenzene, 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene, naphthalene, tert-butylbenzene, sec-butylbenzene, phenol, isopropyl benzene hydroperoxide를 액체-액체 추출법으로 분리하여 기체 크로마토그래피/질량 분석계(GC/MS)로 분석하였고, 포준품과 비교함으로써 밝혔다. 특히, 화학업종의 원폐수에는 검출되지 않았으나 방류수에는 폐놀과 이소프로필벤젠 하이드로퍼옥사이드가 검출되었다. 중금속 Cr, Mn, Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb, As, Al, Fe은 모든 업종의 원폐수에 대부분 함유되어 있었으며, 이중 Fe와 Al은 다른 중금속에 비행 원폐수에 다소 많이 검출되었다. Cr, Cd, Pb, As은 전기전자, 금속업종의 원폐수에서 다소 많은 양이 함유되었으며, 이러한 9개 중금속들은 폐수처리과정에서 거의 처리가 되어 방류수에는 환경 기준 이하로 검출되거나 불검출되었다.

염색 산업에서 발생하는 염색폐수는 적절한 처리가 필요한 유해 폐수로 분류된다. 파이롯트 규모의 선택적 무촉매 환원반응 (SNCR) 실험 장치에서 염색폐수를 연소 배가스에 포함된 질소산화물을 효과적으로 저감할 수 있는 첨가제로 사용하는 연구를 수행하였다. 염색 산업에서 배출되는 염색폐수는 환원제의 첨가제로 사용되기 위해서는 표준화된 제제 형태이어야 하며 이를 위해 여러 단계의 정제과정을 거쳤다. 엄격하게 처리되어야 할 염색폐수는 적어도 유용성 면에서 약 87%의 NO 저감 효율을 보일 정도로 만족할 만한 효율을 보이나, CO 제거에서는 거의 효과가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 첨가제 첨가효과는 $750-1150^{\circ}C$ 구간에서 처음에는 온도가 증가함에 NO 제거 효율이 증가하다가 그 다음에는 감소하는 형태를 보인다. 최적의 온도조건에서 최대의 NO 제거 효율은 87% 이었다. 염색폐수에 포함된 약 1000ppm의 Na 화합물의 영향으로 NO 저감 효율 면에서 약 10%의 효율 향상이 있었으며, 이와 더불어 첨가제를 첨가하지 않은 경우에 비해 $N_2O$ 저감 효율과 SNCR 반응의 반응온도 확장 면에서 뚜렷한 효율 증진을 얻을 수 있었다.
