Abstract As a toxic element, excessive amounts of fluoride in environment can be harmful because of its antimicrobial activity, however little is known about the relationship between fluoride and the bacterial community in groundwater systems. Here, we use samples from a typical fluorosis area to test the hypothesis that fluoride concentration is a fundamental structuring […]
The Greenhouse Gas Inventory and Research Center of the Ministry of Environment announced on Oct. 7 that South Korea’s greenhouse gas emissions totaled a record high of 709.14 million tons in 2017, up 2.4 percent from a year earlier. The previous high was 696.7 million tons in 2013. Specifically, greenhouse gas emissions for electricity and […]

Sixty-four percent of semiconductor photoresist-related patent applications with the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO) belong to Japanese companies, an analysis shows. Rates of 22% and 16% were also found for fluorine polyimides and high-purity hydrogen fluoride. The three items, which were subject to intensified export controls by Japan last July, are key materials in the […]
Highlights The brines in PG ponds are extremely enriched in F, Na, Cl, Ni, Cd, Mn, Cu, Zn, and U. Brine composition is strongly seasonal and spatial dependent. The enrichment in aged brines is caused by precipitation and re-dissolution processes. Brine evaporation produces multi-layered trace-element rich precipitates. Abstract The present study focuses on the geochemistry […]
