A strain of non-sulfur photosynthetic bacteria possessing large amount of ubiquinone-10 in the cell mass, was isolated from waste water collected from the Nakdong River. It was identified as Rhodobacter sp. N-2 by a series of studies on its morphological. cultural and physiological characteristics. The organism appeared to got higher cell mass under circumstances of anaerobic growth conditions than under photosynthetic aerobic cultures. Biotin and thiamin and niacin could be used as good growth factors.

Batch and column tests were performed to investigate the sorption capacity of bottom soils of Kimpo metropolitan waste landfill. Sorption capacity and sorption isotherm from the batch test for inorganic and heavy metal substances and retardation capacity of heavy metals from the column test are obtained. It was recognized from the tests that the samples match well with Freundlich isotherm and marine clay has good sorption capacity for potassium and heavy metals such as lead and cadmium. The soil samples with different geologic origins did not show significant differences in the sorption capacity of tested components.

대기 중 휘발성유기화합물(Volatile Organic Compounds)은 인간에게 직접적으로 위해한 영향을 준다는 보건학적인 측면과 광화학스모그현상의 원인이 되는 산화성물질의 생성에 관여한다는 이유 등으로 많은 주목을 받고있으며, VOCs의 대기 중 농도수준을 평가하기 위한 다양한 방법이 active sampling방법을 중심으로 제안되고 있다. 그러나 active sampling의 경우 장비가 고가이며, 채취유량의 정확한 측정이 필요하고, 전원공급문제 및 장비의 부피로 인하여 시료채취지점의 선정에 한계를 갖고있는 것이 사실이다.

Mobility of pesticides can be occurred by run-off and leachate or soil erosion. It is one of the most important factors for environmental contamination, particularly in steep sloped-land as Gangwon alpine region. In this study, the mobility of seven pesticides in different slopes and soil textures was investigated by simulated rainfall under controlled conditions. Simulated rainfall subjected to 60 mm $hr^{-1}$ was treated using rainfall simulator after 12 hr of pesticide treatment. Amounts of the pesticides were measured in run-off and leachate samples. The soil samples collected after rainfall from upper and lower parts and three different depths of sloped-plot were also analyzed. At result, all pesticides from the un-off samples collected from Taebaek(silty clay loam) and Heongseong(sandy loam) soils were detected maximum 96% within 60 minutes after first collection except carbendazim and cypermethrin which have the lowest water solubilities. From the leachate samples, a similar pattern was shown as run-off samples but amount of pesticides was lower than those of run-off samples. In soil samples, the order of the amount of pesticide residues was $0{\sim}5$ > $5{\sim}10$ > $10{\sim}15$ cm of soil depth and no pattern was shown in upper and lower, and different slopes. Comparing to mobility of pesticides in water and soil samples, pesticides in soil samples were higher than those of water samples in Taebaek soil. However, the results using Heongseong soils were in contrast to those of Taebaek soil. These results revealed that mobility of pesticides can be dependant mainly on soil textures and physicochemical properties of pesticides. Therefore, it can be suggested that selection of pesticides should be considered for soil texture and properties of pesticide in the alpine and sloped-land.

본 논문의 목적은 설마천 시험유역을 대상으로 2005년의 신뢰성 있는 수문 수질자료를 바탕으로 유역의 유출거동에 따른 수질인자와의 상관관계를 분석하는데 있다. 시험유역에서는 10분 단위의 연속적인 우량 및 수위관측과 연간 30회 이상의 유량측정성과를 통하여 수위-유량관계곡선식을 개발하여 유량을 산정하고 있으며, 수질분석을 위한 시료채취는 유량측정시 현장에서 채취하여 실험실에서 분석하였다. 실험실에서 분석한 항목은 DO, BOD, COD, T-N, T-P, F, Cl, $NO_3-N,\;SO_4$, pH, 전기전도도로 총 11개 항목으로 수질측정은 우기가 시작되는 시기인 $6{\sim}9$월에 집중적으로 측정 분석하였으며, 강우가 시작되기 직전과 강우가 시작되어 유량이 증가되는 시기를 선정하여 각각 20회의 시료를 채취하여 분석하였다. 측정된 수질자료를 이용하여 2개 측정지점에 대한 각 항목간의 상관관계를 분석하였으며, 강우가 시작되기 직전과 강우기에 대하여 각 항목간의 상관분석을 수행하였다. 그리고, 선행강우의 일수에 따라 유출의 거동에 따른 BOD, COD, DO, T-N, pH의 농도변화를 비교 검토하였다. 2개 지점의 상관분석 결과는 오염물질간 상관성이 유사한 경향을 나타내었으며, 강우가 시작되기 직전과 강우기에 대한 각 항목간의 상관분석 결과는 유량은 전기전도도 항목과 상관도가 높게 나타났을 뿐 다른 항목은 없었으며, 수질항목간 상관도도 유기물질들 사이에서만 상관성을 나타내었다. 비강우기에는 질소성분의 항목과 전기전도도가 높은 상관도를 나타내었지만 강우기에는 유기물질과 질소성분의 항목간에 상관성이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고, 선행강우의 일수에 따라 유출의 거동에 따른 BOD, COD, DO, T-N, pH의 농도변화를 비교 검토한 결과 선행강우일수가 클수록 전반적으로 DO, COD, BOD의 농도는 수문곡선의 형상과 비슷하게 증가 하였다가 감소하는 결과를 보이고 있으며, T-N은 선행강우일수가 큰 상태에서는 농도가 증가하였으나 선행강우가 작을수록 일정한 경향을 보이고 있다. 그리고, pH는 홍수기의 유량의 변화에 관계없이 일정한 값을 유지를 하고 있는 것으로 나타났다.

This study was performed to evaluate the performance of three passive samplers made in U.S.A. Three passive samplers selected for this study included products made by 3M, Gilian, and SKC in U.S.A. Three organic solvents, such as toluene, trichloroethylene, and n-hexane which are used frequently in Korean industry were selected for the study. Conclusions obtained from this study are summarized as follows. 1. For toluene and trichloroethylene, the overall accuracy of the results from all of three products was within 25 %, which is the criteria recommended by the U.S. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). For n-hexane, the overall accuracy of the results from two products except 3M was exceeding 25 %. Thus 3M product showed the best accuracy among three products. 2. When passive samplers collected organic vapors were exposed to clean air for two hours, there were 12 - 16 % loss of organic vapors due to reverse diffusion in Gilian products. There was no significant loss in results from other two products. 3. Air velocity affected greatly on the performance of passive samplers which did not have permeation membrane. At high velocity, 100 cm/sec, accuracies of results from Gilian and SKC were 57 - 108 and 128 - 164 %, respectively. However, the results from 3M samplers, which contain permeation membrane, indicated accuracy below 25 %. 4. When passive samplers collected organic vapors for eight hours, the accuracy was reduced. Thus, it is recommended that passive samplers be used for less than four hours.

The objective of this study was to understand the content characteristic of polybrominated biphenyl ethers in indoor household dust. Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are widely used as additive brominated flame retardants (BFR) in electrical and electronic equipment, and insulation in the indoor environment, and may be released indoors via volatilization or as dusts. The indoor household dust samples were collected from January to December in 2011 and measured for the concentrations, congener profiles and possible sources of PBDEs. The concentrations of 22 congeners of PBDEs (the sum of PBDEs 47, 49, 66, 71, 77, 85, 99, 100, 119, 126, 138, 153, 154, 156, 183, 184, 191, 196, 197, 206, 207 and 209) were 35.22~575.88 ng/g for apartment dust samples and 524.44 ng/g for laboratory dust sample. The eight congeners of BDE-47, 153, 183, 196, 197, 206, 207, and 209 are detected in the more than 1 ng/g. The three congeners of BDE-206, 207 and 209 in all dust samples were detected.

This study examined microbial community structures (MCSs) according to environmental factors through DGGE analysis and comparison in various soils collected from near army bases and gas stations. As a result, the similarities based on DGGE band profiles showed the closer relationship in regional properties than in pollution characteristics, probably due to the degree of weak contamination. The highly contaminated samples with oil revealed low MCS similarities with others in the same region and very low with all the other samples in the other regions. Thus the microbial community structure would more be affected by region-based natural factors than by contamination factors in case of minor pollution. All the dominant culturable bacterial species were involved in firmicutes or high GC Gram+ in a major portion of soil samples and the highly oil-contaminated samples contained Arthrobacter, Bacillus, Methylobacterium, Clavibacter, Streptomyces and Nocardia as reported genera, and Leifsonia as a unreported genus.

In this study, the spatial and temporal distribution of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in an industrial shipbuilding complex was monitored, and the local characteristics estimated. The major VOC component measured at all of the sampling sites were almost the same as those found at an indoor painting facility, indicating that painting works conducted in the shipyards were a significant source of VOCs in the vicinity of shipbuilding areas. The main parameters affecting the VOCs distribution were the distance between the sampling site and painting work place, and the intensity of the painting works. A quite broad range of VOC concentrations were observed in all of the sampling sites, depending on the intensity of painting works in nearby areas suppressing the typical seasonal and temporal variation trends in VOCs observed in urban areas.
