Information on the lists of pollutants from industrial wastewater discharge are essential not only to specify the key pollutants to be managed in permission process but to design the treatment facilities by the dischargers. In this study, wastewater quality analysis was conducted for three industrial categories including the specified hazardous water pollutants. The general description of the wastewater occurrence, major sources, treatment facilities are also investigated to obtain integrated database on the pollutant inventories for the industrial categories. In addition Based on the analysis of raw wastewater and final effluent, the detected pollutant items are confirmed by analyzing their presence in the raw or supplement materials, the potential of formation as byproducts, and the possibility of inclusion as impurities. The three industrial categories include petrochemical basic compounds, basic organic compounds, and thermal power generation. The water pollutants emitted from petrochemical basic compound manufacturing facilities are 31 items including 16 specified hazardous water pollutants. Basic organic compound manufacturing facilities discharge 30 kinds of pollutants including 14 specified hazardous water pollutants. Thermal power generation facilities emit 20 pollutants, 8 specified hazardous water pollutants among them. These substances were decided as emission inventories of water pollutants finally through the probability evaluation. The compounds detected for each categories are screened through investigation on the possible causes of their occurrence and confirmed as the final water pollutant inventories.

Sampling campaigns were conducted for hazardous chemicals and heavy metals in influents and effluents of industrial wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in Korea for best management practices (BMPs) of those pollutants through the plants and the receiving water bodies. Twenty seven WWTPs, receiving wastewater from industrial complexes and treating more than $2,000m^3/day$, were selected for the sampling campaign. Influents and effluents of each WWTPs were sampled once a month (total three times per plant) between July and September, 2012, and analyzed for 22 hazardous water pollutants among 28 regulated for effluents limits in Korea. Concentrations of mercury, arsenic, 1,1-dichloroethylene, and benzene in the influents were relatively higher; concentrations of mercury and arsenic in effluents were relatively higher than those of other pollutants. Most of the hazardous chemicals and heavy metals were removed (including phase transfer) more than 60% through the treatment processes except for selenium (30% removal) and 1,4-dioxane (18% removal).

There is a need to establish systematic procedure of groundwater quality standards, however, there were no specified basis for establishing substances and values in Korean groundwater quality standards for non-drinking water. In this study, we reviewed basis for deriving groundwater quality standard in the developed countries, considering carcinogenic and non-carciongenic risk via inhalation and dermal contact exposure pathways. Also, we reviewed the prior systematic procedure of standards related to water quality (e.g. drinking water, surface water, and wastewater). USEPA RAGS, ASTM RBCA, and Massachusettes presented the formulas for deriving groundwater concentrations of chemicals and there were similarity and differences. We suggests systematic procedure of groundwater quality standards, as follows. (1) Selection of groundwater pollutants population, (2) Possibility of risk assessment, (3) Selection of monitoring priority substances, (4) Monitoring, (5) Risk assessment, (6) Selection of groundwater quality standard candidates, (7) Selection of new substances and values for groundwater quality standards. Especially, groundwater concentration of hazardous material were presented according to revised risk formulas via inhalation and dermal contact.

To learn about the discharge facility management of industrial complexes and the discharge characteristics of water pollutants in drainage, 11 sites were selected, including 16 discharge companies of Hanam Industrial Complex and High-Tech Scientific Industrial Complex and 4 drainages of the industrial complexes. Through the analysis, it was found that 12(75 %) of the 16 discharge companies had specific hazardous substances other than those registered at the time of installation and registration of the wastewater discharge facilities. In terms of other pollutants, 11 of the 16 companies(about 69 %) were found to have pollution items that differed from those included in approved and reported items lists. In addition, Formaldehyde, Mn, Zn, and Ba were discharged from 11 out of the 16 companies. Significantly, one of the specific hazardous water pollutants, Cu, was detected in all discharge facilities at levels from 0.029 to 0.929 mg/L. Even in major complexes drainages and the main stream of the Yeongsangang. As, Dichloromethane, and Chloroform were detected. However, it cannot be conclusively claimed that it is probable that these substances were actually discharged from the above facilities because research was only done in a limited range(Class 1 to Class 3), and therefore, further research is required. In the future, it will be necessary to expand the research scope of the discharge companies in order to establish a database of water pollutants, and to improve permits and reported items based on discharged substances.

최근의 환경부의 환경관리정책은 기존의 BOD나 COD로 대표되는 이화학적인 분석으로 수질항목을 측정 분석하여 환경규제로 활용되고 있는 상황에서 환경용량 기반의 수용체 중심의 통합관리방안을 추가하여 규제하는 방법으로 이루어지고 있다. 또한 수질관리부분에서도 2006년 "물환경관리 기본계획('06-'09)"을 수립하여, 생태적으로 건강하고 유해물질로부터 안전한 물환경조성 목표하에 오염원 중심에서 수용체 중심 즉, 통합적인 수질관리 방향으로 추진되고 있다. 하지만 하 폐수에 함유된 모든 유해화학물질에 대하여 배출허용기준을 설정하는 것이 현실적으로 불가능하기 때문에 환경부에서는 "생태독성 통합관리제도(WET : Whole Effluent Toxicity)"를 도입, 2007년 상기법의 시행규칙 개정을 통하여 배출허용기준에 생태독성기준을 추가하여 관리하고 있다. 생태독성을 평가하는 생물군에는 박테리아, 조류, 물벼룩, 어류 등 다양한 생물종이 있으며 국내에는 물벼룩을 이용하여 TU라는 생태독성단위를 이용하여 규제 및 관리를 시행하고 있으나 단일 생물종으로만 관리할 경우 생물의 내성 및 특정 유해물질에만 반응하는 특성을 지니고 있어 여러 가지 복합적인 화합물에 적용하기 위해서는 복수종에 대한 관리 및 규제가 필요한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 반달말(조류)를 이용한 WEMS(Water Enviroment Monitoring System)를 이용하여 하천 호소 및 정수장, 하 폐수처리장등 다양한 현장에 적용하여 화학물질군에 대한 독성의 특성을 파악과 더불어 통계학적 처리를 이용하여 수질관리에 대한 방법을 제시하고 과학적이고 현장 특성에 맞는 경보 수준을 통해 수생태관리에 관리에 기여 할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This study was conducted to estimate the water quality of agricultural groundwater well located in Buan-gun, Jinan-gun, Sunchang-gun, and Jangsu-gun of Jeollabuk-do. The groundwater samples were collected at 328 sites (Buan-gun: 158, Jansu-gun: 45, Sunchang-gun: 32, Jinan-gun: 93, respectively). We measured 4 kinds of general contaminants (pH, $NO_3-N$, $Cl^-$, and COD) and 10 kinds of specific contaminants (Cd, As, $CN^-$, Hg, phenol, Pb, $Cr^{+6}$, organophosphorus, trichloroethylene, and tetrachloroethylene). Generally, the level of general contaminants and specific contaminants in the agricultural groundwater was suitable for water quality standard in all sites for agricultural irrigation water. Exceptionally, chloride concentrations were exceeded water quality standard of agricultural groundwater at some sites in western coast area of Jeollabuk-do. Although water quality standards in agricultural groundwater have been suitable, the water contaminants of agricultural groundwater in western coast area were gradually increased than eastern mountain area.

다이옥산, 페놀 등의 오염물질 유출로 인한 수질오염사고 발생시 사건 유형에 따라 단수로 인하여 국민들이 불편 겪거나 및 유해물질에 노출되는 등 안전성에 대한 우려가 있다. 본 연구는 수질 오염사고 발생시 댐 추가방류를 통해 위와 같은 문제를 해소하는데 기여하여 단수 등으로 인해 소비자들이 겪을 수 있는 불편을 방지하여 소비자효용의 감소를 줄이고, 안전성측면에서 수자원에 대한 소비자효용을 증가시키는 편익을 추정하고자 한다. 본 연구는 제주도 제외 전국 1,000 가구를 대상으로 한 일대일 개별면접 방식의 설문조사 수행하여 자료를 얻었고, 이 자료를 바탕으로 가구당 WTP의 대푯값을 추정하기 위해 KDI의 CVM 분석지침(2012)을 적용하였다. 수질오염사고 발생시 댐 추가방류에 대한 대푯값 WTP는 2,132.7(원/년/가구)로 추정되었다. 또한 추정결과 상수항 및 제시금액 항의 추정계수는 1.1451(t-값 5.83)와 -0.7286(t-값-5.54)로 모두 유의수준 1%에서 통계적으로 유의하여 설문조사가 제대로 수행되었음을 확인하였다. 국내에는 수질개선과 관련된 다양한 연구들이 존재하지만 댐 추가방류를 통한 수질오염사고 해소 편익 등과 특정사안에 대한 연구들은 존재하고 있지 않다. 따라서 본 연구의 분석결과는 수질 오염 사고로 인한 댐 추가방류의 가치에 대한 선제적인 연구로서 방법론적인 지침과 향후 수자원 개발 및 활용을 위한 정량적인 정보로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

The priorities of siting restriction was derived from quantification of environmental hazard according to industrial classification based on 'Chemical Ranking and Scoring System(CRS)' which is handling the discharge characteristics of 31 industrial classifications regulated from locating at 'Industrial Complex in Rural Area(ICRA)'. CRS that is utilizing the data of 'Pollutant Release and Transfer Registers(PRTR)' is applied to determine human health risk and ecological risk which are calculated by discharged amount and materials $LC_{50}$ according to water, soil and air media based on industrial classification. From this process, exposure assessment and toxicity assessment for integrating the adverse environmental impact and the mitigation effect of environmental risk according to the development of environmental technologies into establishing the rational landuse management method for the 31 industrial classifications regulated from locating at ICRA was analyzed. From the assessment result of the siting restriction removal at ICRA for 31 industrial classifications, based on 2012 year reference 6 industries that includes Manufacture of Guilt Coloration Surface Processing Steel Materials, Manufacture of Biological Product, Manufacture of Smelting Refining and Alloys of Copper, Dyeing and Finishing of Fibers and Yarns, Manufacture of Other Basic Iron and Steel n.e.c., Rolling Drawing and Extruding of Non-ferrous Metals n.e.c. are calculated as having relatively lower environmental hazards, thus it is judged that the siting restriction mitigation at ICRA is possible for the 6 industrial classifications that are not discharging the specific hazardous water contaminants during manufacturing process.
