Page 1 of 2 http://e-eht.org/ It has been long time since I participated in the annual meeting of the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC), which was held near the Pentagon at the Hyatt Hotel, Crystal City, Virginia in 1983 when I was studying for my Ph.D. in the Department of Environmental Toxicology, U.C. Davis. I might have been the first Korean at that conference and I vaguely remember that so many scientists working on Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry were not only from academia, but also from government and industry, even from NGOs. Many papers—I do not recall how many, but it was many more than I have ever seen in Korea–were presented covering many fields of expertise which I had never known of. Later, I heard that the SETAC had been separated from the Society of Toxicology. Years later, I met Dr. Byoung Han Chin of the U.S. EPA and Dr. Namkung Eun of Procter & Gamble at several SETAC conferences. After I came back to Korea in 1985, I participated in the inaugural annual conference of the Korean Society of Environmental Toxicology (KSET) in 1986. I later heard that KSET had been separated from the Korean Society of Toxicology. I remember I presented a paper and had a heated discussion with Professor Byung Moo Lee of Sungkyunkwan University. Afterwards, he and I always exchanged heated debate on various issues at numerous scientific meetings as scientists. I feel I am lucky to have had that kind of relationship with him. We were always critical and came from different scientific points of view, even if we did not have any closer personal or social friendship at all. I think we had been interestingly educated and trained that way. Through my 25-year service at the Korea Institute of Toxicology (KIT) from 1985 to 2009, I had the opportunity to cooperate with experts in various academic disciplines: veterinary medicine, biology, toxicology, chemistry, and ecotoxicology. During my service at KIT, I was given two opportunities to work abroad: one for the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) in 1995-1998 in Vienna, Austria, and the other for the U.S. EPA at the Office of Pesticide Program (OPP) in 2004-2005 in Washington, D.C., U.S.A. The role at the former organization was to disseminate knowledge and technology for environmental toxicology established in Korea to neighboring developing countries. The mission at the latter organization was learning the method of risk assessment for the registration of pesticides in the U.S.A. During these periods, I was able to learn the practical application of the discipline of environmental toxicology to both developing and developed countries.

The study used an ecological design with secondary data. A spatial scan statistic, based on a Poisson regression model, was employed to identify spatial clusters of unintentional pesticide-related poison center exposures. Next, logistic regression models were constructed to identify potential demographic and environmental factors associated with unintentional pesticide-related poison center exposures. There were 59,477 unintentional pesticide-related poison center exposures from 2000 to 2013. The spatial scan statistic found a change in the number of counties in the identified clusters (e.g. , aggregation of counties with higher than expected exposures) for two time periods (2000-2006; 2007-2013). Based on the logistic regression models, factors associated with unintentional pesticide-related poison center exposures were percent black or African American population, year structure built, and percent moved in the past 12 months. In conclusion, this study found certain demographic and environmental factors may be associated with unintentional pesticide-related poison center exposures. Through understanding trends and associated factors, public health professionals can design interventions for populations at higher risk of pesticide exposures.

However, this growth was accompanied by health problems due to the pollutants released from the industrial complexes inevitably located near residential areas, given the limited land area available in South Korea. This study was conducted to evaluate the exposure to each pollutant emanating from industrial complexes for residents living in nearby areas, and to determine the substances requiring priority attention in future surveys. Pollutants were comprehensively categorized according to their emission and exposure levels based on data previously collected from the study areas. The emission, ambient concentration, and biomarker concentration levels of major pollutants emitted from eight national industrial complexes (Ulsan, Pohang, Gwangyang, Yeosu, Chungju, Daesan, Sihwa, and Banwol) were determined and tabulated. Each of the values was compared with the national/local average values, reference values, or control area concentrations depending on availability. Substances with completed exposure pathways and with high values for emissions, ambient concentrations, and biomarker concentrations were considered the substances posing exposure risks to the residents living near the corresponding industrial complex. The substances requiring continuous monitoring or supplementary exposure investigation were also categorized and presented. Lead and benzene had higher values for emissions, ambient concentrations, and biomarker concentrations in the Ulsan Industrial Complex area; thus, they were most likely to pose exposure risks to residents living in the area's neighborhoods. In other areas, styrene, xylene, cadmium, nitrogen oxide, trichloroethylene, nickel, manganese, and chromium required continuous monitoring, and arsenic, nickel, manganese, and chromium required biomarker measurements.
