In this study, a formula was derived to calculate the damage impact distance using the Chemical Accident Response Information System (CARIS) so that local governments can decide on the evacuation and notification of 13 types of substances. The National Institute of Chemical Safety selected 16 out of 97 types of accident preparedness substances in 2018 and called them residents' evacuation preparedness substances. In a chemical accident, local governments should prepare for resident notification, such as emergency disaster texts. Using the CARIS in Chungju, this study modeled the damage-affected distances of 13 types of substances for the evacuation of residents. Under all conditions, the coefficient of determination R2 was 0.99 or higher, representing a range of at least 0.9921 to a maximum 0.9999. The relative standard deviation between the damage impact distance obtained using the calculation formula, and the CARIS result was compared. The minimum separation distance was corrected considering the actual chemical accident response situation, and the range was found to be between 0.58 and 5.97%. The damage impact distance can be calculated at the site using the calculation formula derived from the research, and local governments can determine whether to evacuate or notify residents.

The sixty nine accident preparedness substances (APS) having high probability of chemical accident are controlled under the Toxic Chemicals Control Act (TCCA). Around the world, there has been a growing interest in the analysis of chemical warfare agent (CWAs). When a chemical accident occurs, it is generally required to detect and identify APS. However, the quantitative analytical data remain limited in Korea. In this study, an analytical method using GC/MS for volatile organic chemicals was established and a quantitative analysis method was studied. The calibration curve for 25 chemicals were obtained and 21 chemicals showed higher coefficient of determination ($r^2$ >0.998).

In the Chemicals Control Act, a system was implemented to unify off-site risk assessment and risk management plan into the prevention and management system for chemical accidents. Among the hazardous chemicals which have been covered in system, the accident preparation substances are designated as chemical substances that are likely to occur and of which damage scale are likely to be large in the event of chemical accidents. In this study, risks were compared by selecting accident preparation substances with similar regulated quantities. In addition, risk assessment studies were conducted applying the accident scenarios. Four types of materials such as ammonia, hydrogen chloride, carbon disulfide and benzene were selected for the study, and risks were finally analyzed using Safeti 8.0, a quantitative risk assessment program by DNV. As a result, some materials are identified to have high risks comparing to other substances having similar regulated quantities.

The aim of this study is to provide a scientific basis for decision making regarding environmental damage in case of future chemical accidents by evaluating the ecotoxicity of 4 substances requiring preparation for accidents. For this purpose, acute and chronic toxicities of nitric acid, sulfuric acid, hydrogen peroxide, and ammonia solution, which can change the physical and chemical properties of soil to Paronychiurus kimi(Collembola) were investigated. The pH of artificial soil spiked with a series of test chemical concentrations was also measured. The pH of soil spiked with 10,000 mg kg^-1 of soil nitric acid, sulfuric acid, hydrogen peroxide, and ammonia solution were 2.86, 2.72, 7.18 and 9.69, respectively. The 28-d LC₅₀ of nitric acid, sulfuric acid, hydrogen peroxide and ammonia solution were 2,703, 5,414, 3,158 and 859 mg kg^-1 soil dry wt., respectively and 28-d EC₅₀ were 587, 2,148, 1,300 and 216 mg kg^-1 soil dry wt., respectively. These results indicated that the mortality and juvenile production of P. kimi were influenced by not only the soil pH but also by the reduced organic content and products produced by the reaction of soil with the tested chemicals. Given the fact that most substances requiring preparation for accidents can change soil characteristics, assessment and restoration methods that take into account changes in soil properties are needed for accurate decision making after chemical accidents.

하천에서의 화학사고는 자연적 및 인위적인 원인으로 인해 발생할 수 있으며, 대량의 화학물질이 하천으로 유입되는 것을 말한다. 이러한 화학사고는 수환경의 변화를 야기해 생태계나 인간에게 악영향을 초래하여 심각한 문제가 발생 될 수 있다. 하천으로 유입된 화학물질의 정량적 평가에 대한 연구는 활발하게 진행되고 있지만, 화학사고 초기 대응을 위한 하천에서의 화학물질 감지에 대한 연구는 미비한 실정이다. 한국 하천의 주요 지점에는 pH 및 EC 등을 실시간으로 측정하는 자동측정망을 운영하고 있기 때문에 이러한 측정항목들을 활용하여 화학물질을 감지하거나 식별 가능성에 대한 평가 연구는 하천 화학사고 대응을 위한 중요한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있다. 또한 분석된 결과를 바탕으로 미지의 화학물질을 다른 용매에 적용 시켰을 때 변화되는 pH 및 EC 결과와 통계적 수치비교를 통해 미지의 화학물질 식별 가능성을 평가하였다. 이를 통해 본 연구에서 선정한 pH 및 EC 항목이 화학물질 감지 및 식별을 위한 대체지표로써의 활용 가능성을 실험적 연구를 통해 평가하고자 하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 현장에서 쉽고, 신속하게 화학물질 감지 및 식별을 위한 정보를 제공할 수 있다는데 의미가 있으며, 화학사고의 신속한 대응을 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

In 2015, the paradigm of hazardous chemical substance management in Korea shifted from the workplace to the regional level due to the complete revision of the Chemicals Control Act. Although regional chemical accident response plans were established in 2020, there were slight differences in the scope and criteria of each local government. Therefore, this study compared and analyzed chemical accident response plans established in four different regions to provide insights into effective chemical accident response plans. Based on publicly available information, the current status of accident preparedness, chemical accident response systems, and resident evacuation response and education/training were compared and analyzed. The results showed that there were not significant differences in the accident preparedness and response systems between the regions. However, there was a lack of discussion on the preparedness system linked to the characteristics of each workplace in each region. Additionally, there were differences in education and training for residents between regions. In the future, each local government needs to establish a response organization that fits the characteristics of their region and develop strategies for agile and effective accident response through cooperation with relevant agencies.

The concentration of the HNS Accident for each region was confirmed to prepare against an HNS Spill accident by using a Concentration Index which is used to assess industry concentration trend. This is to present the HNS Accident Concentration Index by combining HNS Accident Scale Concentration Index and an HNS Accident Frequency Concentration Index based on the data of marine spill accidents including the HNS accident. Based on the HNS Accident Concentration Index, Ulsan was identified as a top priority region for preparedness, Yeosu, Busan and Taean were identified as priority regions for preparedness, Gunsan, Mokpo, Wando, Incheon, Tongyeong, Pyeongtaek and Pohang were identified as necessary regions for preparedness, Donghae, Boryeong, Buan, Seogwipo, Sokcho, Jeju and Changwon, in which no marine spill accidents occurred, were identified as support regions for preparedness.
