The regulation of HNS has been intensified by the international trends including OPRC-HNS Protocol and '96 Convention which was driven by the high amounts of cargo. Due to the characteristics of HNS that would possibly bring potential damage with personnel and assets, effective management and prompt actions are required definitely. In order to respond effectively against HNS accidents, Korea Coast Guard (KCG) is in the process q development of HNS accident response manual and information system which allows On-Scene Coordinator(OSC) and personnels for rescue including an information for hazardous materials, sensitive area to be affected, solution methods and more. Furthermore, KCG is also building up establishment of national and local contingency plans for HNS in accordance with OPRC-HNS Protocol. It is also advised to proceed for the government to solve the anticipated obstacles that include protection equipments to get close to the site, experts allowing to manage accidents and organizations specialized for overall HNS related matters. The proposed issues described above are planned to conducted on basis of government.

Since 2015, small and medium domestic enterprises that treat more than a certain quantity of chemical substances in accordance with the Chemical Substance Control Act are obliged to submit an off-site impact assessment and risk management plan. In order to reduce the administrative and economic burden of the risk assessment, its impact was determined. Toxic leaks of nitric acid, methanol, and acetic acid were estimated and the correlations (between them?) were calculated. In addition, the correlations of this study were used to compare the KORA results according to the accident scenarios of the actual workplace and the extent of the damage as a function of distance in the case of toxic leaks. In this study, the correlation formula of the materials can be used to quickly determine the damage distance in the event of the accidental leakage of materials in the road or workplace, and to prepare emergency plans and respond to emergencies more quickly.

This study analyzed chemical accidents each year according to the status, type of accident, accident place, business size, and chemical substance. The results of the chemical accident investigation were 16 cases in 2013, 27 cases in 2014, 46 cases in 2015, and 23 cases in 2016. According to the type of chemical accident, number of accidents, and casualty accidents, leakage was found to be the major cause. As a result of accidents and casualties caused by chemical accidents, workplaces had the highest numbers in all survey items. An examination of the top 10 accident materials revealed 9 substances to be hazardous chemicals. These materials were accident preparedness substances, and toxic substances.

물은 보다 나은 삶을 살아가는데 있어 매우 중요한 자원이며, 안전하고 깨끗한 물을 공급받는 것은 국민 생활 영위에 반드시 필요한 부분이다. 국내 주요 수자원은 하천수를 통해 확보하고 있으며, 안전한 수자원 공급을 위해서는 하천관리를 통한 수질오염사고에 대비한 대책 수립이 필요하다. 국내에서는 페놀, 황산 등 독성오염물질 유출로 인한 수질오염사고가 발생한 바 있고, 그 피해액이 수백억에 달한다. 이러한 수질오염사고로 인한 피해액을 감소시키고 안전한 수자원 공급을 유지하기 위해서는 오염물질의 거동을 이해하고 예측하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 국내하천의 경우, 대부분 하폭 대비 수심비가 크기 때문에 오염물질이 2차원 혼합특성을 나타낸다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 하천 내 오염물질의 2차원적 혼합거동을 해석할 수 있는 수치모형을 개발하고자 하며, 현장에 적합한 해석기법을 검토하고 모형 개발 방향을 결정하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 하천 내 수질오염사고 발생 시 신속하고 정확한 수질 분석 및 예측을 목표로 오염물질 혼합해석에 주로 활용되는 격자기반 모형과 입자추적 기반 모형의 프로토타입을 개발했다. 용존성 오염물질을 대상으로 격자 기반 및 입자 기반 혼합해석 모형을 개발했으며, 오염물질의 주입형태와 하천 내 유속 분포를 가정해 혼합해석을 수행했다. 격자 기반 모형의 경우, 경계조건과 분산계수의 결정이 필요하고 수렴/발산 문제로 인해 모형의 안정적 실행을 위한 조건 수립이 필요하다. 입자 기반 모형의 경우에도 입자 수에 따른 계산시간 개선이 필요하지만, 입력조건 결정이 간편하고 분산계수 입력이 필요 없어 신속한 모의조건 설정이 가능하다. 오염물질 혼합해석 모형 개발을 위한 해석기법 검토 결과, 신속한 수질 분석 및 예측 결과를 제공하기 위해서는 계산시간 개선을 전제로 모의조건 설정이 용이한 입자 기반 모형이 가장 적합한 것으로 판단된다.

This study prioritizes Noxious Liquid Substances (NLS) transported by sea via a risk-based database containing 596 chemicals to prepare against NLS incidents. There were 158 chemicals transported in Korean waters during 2014 and 2015, which were prioritized, and then chemicals were grouped into four categories (with rankings of 0-3) based on measures for preparedness against incident. In order to establish an effective preparedness system against NLS spill incidents on a national scale, a compiling process for NLS chemicals ranked 2~3 should be carried out and managed together with an initiative for NLS chemicals ranked 0-1. Also, it is advisable to manage NLS chemicals ranked 0-1 after considering the characteristics of NLS specifically transported through a given port since the types and characteristics of NLS chemicals relevant differ depending on the port. In addition, three designated regions are suggested: 1) the southern sector of the East Sea (Ulsan and Busan); 2) the central sector of the South Sea (Gwangyang and Yeosu); and 3) the northern sector of the West Sea (Pyeongtaek, Daesan and Incheon). These regions should be considered special management sectors, with strengthened surveillance and the equipment, materials and chemicals used for pollution response management schemes prepared in advance at NLS spill incident response facilities. In the near future, the risk database should be supplemented with specific information on chronic toxicity and updated on a regular basis. Furthermore, scientific ecotoxicological data for marine organisms should be collated and expanded in a systematic way. A system allowing for the identification Hazardous and Noxious Substances (HNS) should also be established, noting the relevant volumes transported in Korean waters as soon as possible to allow for better management of HNS spill incidents at sea.

위험 유해물질(Hazardous and Noxious Substances) 과 유출에 및 그 대응 기술에 관한 연구는 활발히 이루어졌지만 HNS 선박 승무원 안전 관리 연구는 미흡한 면이 있다. 승무원은 HNS 사고를 미연에 예방하고, 대비할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 사고의 초등 대응 책임자로서 재해 감소에 큰 역할을 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 승무원 재해를 분류 및 구조화하고 Risk 평가하였다. 현 HNS 선박의 방제자원을 분석하여 승무원 Risk를 기반으로 사고 초기 대비 대응력 강화를 위한 방안을 제시하였다. 연구결과를 바탕으로 HNS 선박의 방제자원 모델 개발을 위한 연구를 수행해 나갈 예정이다.

If an accident occurs at work places that handle 'the accident preparedness substances', it causes more property damage and casualties than accidents of normal chemical substances. Even though various systems and regulations have been operated in order to prevent accidents, techniques for reducing and removing human error, which is one of the main reasons of accidents, are still inadequate. In this paper, hazardous work digitization, potential hazard verification, and work evaluation based on domestic technical guidelines have been performed through a case study of the accident of hydrofluoric acid leakage in Gumi in September 2012, and development of a new risk mapping method has been studied to supplement existing systems.

This study attempted to derive an equation for calculating the damage impact distance using CARIS so that local governments can quickly determine evacuation and notification of residents in the event of an ammonia-release accident. Ammonia is an accident-causing substance and one of 16 substances to prepare for resident evacuation. It is the most frequently occurring chemical with 58 chemical accidents from 2014~2019. The study derives an equation for calculating the damage impact distance according to the exposure time of ammonia based on AEGL, an acute exposure standard applicable to the general population, which is includes vulnerable groups such as infants, children and the elderly and designated by the EPA. The calculation formulas for each concentration and exposure time to classify the hazardous area according to AEGL-3 and the semi-dangerous area according to AEGL-2 were derived. A comparison of the relative standard deviation between the damage impact distance values of CARIS revealed that is was in the range of 0~2%. Local governments should consider the actual accident situation and apply the appropriate damage-affected distance calculation formula derived from the study to evacuate residents near the origin of the accident or use for protective measures such as indoor evacuation notification.

중국의 텐진항 시안화나트륨 폭발과 같이 적절치 않은 대응은 추가 폭발 및 막대한 피해로 이어지게 된다. HNS물질은 600여가지 이상으로 그 종류는 매우 다양하며, 물질마다의 특성이 제각각이다. HNS 물질의 특성을 정확히 분석하지 않고 대응작업을 수행하는 경우 텐진항의 사고와 같은 대형재난을 야기시킬 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 HNS 물질을 IMDG 코드의 기준에 따라 물질의 특성을 구분하고, 종류별 대응방법을 분석하였다. 그리고 분석된 대응방법을 토대로 물질 유형별 필요/필수 방제자원을 Matrix화하여 제시하였다.
