Hexavalent chromium (CrVI) was fed to one day old chicks of Gallus domesticus in the form of different concentrations (250 and 500 mg/kg feed) of potassium dichromate mixed with the feed, ad libitum, for 32 weeks. After 20 weeks of feeding, the total body weight was higher in the low dose (260 mg/kg (feed) group and lower in the high dose (500 mg/kg feed) group, as compared with the control chicks. After 32 weeks of feeding, however, the total body weight was significantly decreased in both the treated groups. Egg laying was enhanced. Fertility remained unaffected, whereas hatchability was considerably decreased after CrVI-treatment. The egg shell thickness increased significantly (13%). Cr was deposited in a dose dependent manner in the liver and lungs. Some structural derangements in liver were also noted in treated chicks. The results of this study i.e., rapid ageing, excessive Cr deposition, decreased hatchability and hepatotoxicity indicate toxic effects of CrVI.

In Korea, the chemical oxygen demand($COD_{sed}$) in freshwater sediments has been measured by the potassium permanganate method used for marine sediment because of the absence of authorized analytical method. However, this method has not been fully verified for the freshwater sediment. Therefore, the use or modification of the potassium permanganate method or the development of the new $COD_{sed}$ analytical method may be necessary. In this study, two modified $COD_{sed}$ analytical methods such as the modified potassium permanganate method for $COD_{Mn}$ and the modified closed reflux method using potassium dichromate for $COD_{Cr}$ were compared. In the preliminary experiment to estimate the capability of the two oxidants for glucose oxidation, $COD_{Mn}$ and $COD_{Cr}$ were about 70% and 100% of theoretical oxygen demand(ThOD), respectively, indicating that $COD_{Cr}$ was very close to the ThOD. The effective titration ranges in $COD_{Mn}$ and $COD_{Cr}$ were 3.2 to 7.5 mL and 1.0 to 5.0 mL for glucose, 4.3 to 7.5 mL and 1.4 to 4.3 mL for lake sediment, and 2.5 to 5.8 mL and 3.6 to 4.5 mL for river sediment, respectively, within 10% errors. For estimating $COD_{sed}$ recovery(%) in glucose-spiked sediment after aging for 1 day, the mass balances of the $COD_{Mn}$ and $COD_{Cr}$ among glucose, sediments and glucose-spiked sediments were compared. The recoveries of $COD_{Mn}$ and $COD_{Cr}$ were 78% and 78% in glucose-spiked river sediments, 91% and 86% in glucose-spiked lake sediments, 97% and 104% in glucose-spiked sand, and 134% and 107% in glucose-spiked clay, respectively. In conclusion, both methods have high confidence levels in terms of analytical methodology but show significant different $COD_{sed}$ concentrations due to difference in the oxidation powers of the oxidants.

Background: Research on the status of many chemicals used in the semiconductor industry is needed. The purpose of this study was to describe the overall status of chemical use in the semiconductor industry in Korea and to examine it from a health perspective. Methods: Data on the status of chemical use and safety data sheets at 11 of 12 major semiconductor workplaces in Korea were collected. The number of chemical products and chemical constituents, quantities of chemicals, and trade secret ingredients used, as well as the health hazards were examined. Results: On average, 210 chemical products and 135 chemical constituents were used at the surveyed workplaces. Among all chemical products, 33% (range: 16-56%) contained at least one trade secret ingredient. Most of the trade secret ingredients were used in the photolithography process. Several carcinogens, including sulfuric acid, chromic acid, ethylene oxide, crystalline silica, potassium dichromate, and formaldehyde were also used. Only 29% (39 of 135) of the chemical constituents had occupational exposure limits, and more than 60% had no National Fire Protection Association health, safety, and reactivity ratings. Based on the aforementioned results, this study revealed the following. First, many chemical products and constituents are being used in the semiconductor industry and many products contained trade secret ingredients. Second, many products contained significant amounts of carcinogenic, mutagenic, and reproductive toxicant materials. Conclusion: We conclude that protecting workers in the semiconductor industry against harm from chemical substances will be difficult, due to widespread use of trade secret ingredients and a lack of hazard information. The findings of the status of chemical use and the health and safety risks in semiconductor industry will contribute to epidemiological studies, safe workplace, and worker health protection.

Cryptosporidium의 오오시스트를 분변에서 분리해 내는 방법은 많이 알려져 있으나 그러한 방법은 주로 설사변에 함유된 원충을 분리하는 데 적용되었다. 이 실험에서는 송아지와 마우스를 C. parvum으로 감염시키고, 그 분변으로부터 원충을 순수 분리하기 위해 ether extraction(EE)법과 discontinuous sucrose gradients(DSG)법을 병용하여 실시하였다. 먼저 EE법으로 분변 내의 지질이나 지방성분과 함께 큰 이물질을 제거한 후 돈망체를 사용하여 분변내의 이물질을 다시 한번 제거하였다. 동망체에 걸러진 분변 부유액을 2.5% potassium dichromate 현탄액으로 만들어 DSG법으로 원심한 결과 비중 1.103과 1.064의 sucrose gradient 경계부위에 횐 밴드가 관찰되었다. 흰 밴드 부위에서 이물질이 제거된 오오시스트를 회수할 수 있었는데 송아지와 마우스 분변을 트르롭으로 전처리한 부유액에 ml 당 오오시스트의 수가 많을수록 원충의 회수율은 높았다 송아지 분변에서 회수된 원충의 회수율은 EE법으로 처리된 부유액 내에 $3.8{\;}\times{\;}10^7/ml$개의 오오시스트가 함유되었을 때 81.6%였으며, 마우스 분변에서 회수된 원충의 회수율은 EE법으로 처리된 부유액내에 $3.2{\;} \times{\;}10^6/ml$개의 오오시스트가 함유되었을 때 51.6%이었다. 따라서 50% 정도의 원충을 회수하기 위해서는 EE법으로 전처리한 분변 부유액의 ml당 오오시스트의 수가 $2{\;}\times{\;}10^6$개 이상 되어야 할 것으로 나타났다. 또한 이 방법은 송아지의 설사분변은 물론 정상적인 분변이나 마우스 분변에 함유된, 오오시스트를 순수 분리하는데 효과적이었다.

2007년에 천연 염료 관련 자원, 색상, 염색 원단 등 천연 염색 정보를 쉽게 제공 할 수 있도록 모바일 어플리케이션을 설계 한 것으로 알려졌다. 천연 염색과 IoT의 연관성, 응용 등에 대한 연구가 아직 부족한만큼 다양성 천연 염색에 의한 염색 패턴 변화에 관한 정보가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는, 천연 염료, 예를 들어 Lithospermum erythrorhizon가 한국에서 전통적으로 많이 사용되어온 실크에 대하여 염색 정보를 구축하고자 했다. L. erythrorhizon에서 염료의 추출은 pH4에서 수행되었다. L. erythrorhizon의 건조 된 뿌리는 짙은 갈색을 띤 자주색을 보였다. 매염제가 없는 실크 직물은 일반적으로 보라색 염색 패턴을 보였다. 타르타르산 나트륨과 구연산으로 염색 한 실크 직물은 투명한 갈색으로 염색되었다. 흥미롭게도 황산 철 (II)의 매염제 인 실크 직물은 검은 색이 아닌 밝은 회색으로 염색되었다. 알루미늄 포타슘 설페이트의 매염제를 L. erythrorhizon 추출 염료로 처리 한 결과 매염제를 처리하지 않았을 때와 거의 동일했다. 염색도를 수치로 평가 한 결과, 중크롬산 칼륨의 매염제의 처리는 약 50% 어둡고, 황산 철 (II)에 의한 염색은 약 75% 어두웠다. 이러한 결과는 L. erythrorhizon을 이용한 다양한 염색 색 적용 연구에 도움이되며, 염색 정도와 pH 농도, 색도변화라는 염색변수에 의한 염색 컨트롤러와 데이터베이스 시스템 구축에관한 정보를 제공 할 것이다.

Objectives : This study aimed to investigate the toxic effects of chromium (VI) on the placental function and reproduction in rats. For the study, the placental prolactin-growth hormone (PRL-GH) gene expression, placental trophoblast cell differentiation and reproductive data were analyzed. Methods : The pregnancies of F344 Fisher rats were checked by the presence of a copulatory plug or sperm in the vaginal smear, which was defined as day 0 of the pregnancy. Pregnant rats were divided into the three groups. The control group was given tap water (chromium level < 0.001 ppm) and the remaining groups were given 250 or 750 ppm of chromium (VI) [as potassium dichromate], from day 7 to 19 of the pregnancy. Rats were sacrificed at days 11 and 20 of pregnancy. The mRNA levels of PRL-GH and Pit-1a and b isotype genes were analyzed by Northern blot hybridization and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The hormonal concentration was analyzed by radioimmunoassay, and the differentiation of placental trophoblast cells were observed by histochemical studies. Reproductive data, such as placental and fetal weights, pregnancy period, and litter size, were surveyed at day 20 of pregnancy and after birth. A statistical analysis was carried out using the SAS program (version 8.1). Results : The mRNA levels of the prolactin-growth hormone (PRL-GH) family of genes were dose dependently reduced by chromium exposure. The mRNA levels of Pit-1a and b isotype genes that induce the expression of the PRL-GH family of genes were also reduced by chromium exposure. The PRL-GH hormonal concentration in the rat placenta, fetus and maternal blood were decreased by chromium exposure. In the middle stage of pregnancy (day 11), a high dose of chromium suppressed the differentiation of spongiotrophoblast cells that secret the PRLGH hormones. In the last stage of pregnancy (day 20), a high dose of chromium induced apoptosis of placental cells. Reproductive data, such as placental and fetal weights, litter size, were reduced, but the pregnancy period was extended in the group exposed to chromium compared with the controls. Conclusion : Chromium (VI) disrupts the ordered functions of the placenta, which leads to reproductive disorders in rats.
