The purpose of this study is to estimate the movement of microbial contaminant caused by bio-attack using bio-agent such as bacillus anthracis for preventing contaminant diffusion. multizone simulation was carried out in the case of three types of bio-attack scenario in the government building. Simulation results show that severe contaminant diffusion is brought about in all cases of bio-attack scenario in one hour, though pollution boundaries have different mode according to bio-attack scenarios. Simulation results also show that immune building technology such as filter and UVGI technology gives us powerful alternatives to meet the emergent situation caused by unexpected bio-attack.

While most of regulatory communities in abroad recognize ' 'natural attenuation " to include degradation, dispersion, dilution, sorption (including precipitation and transformation), and volatilization as governing Processes, regulators prefer "degradation" because this mechanism destroys the contaminant of concern. Unfortunately, true degradation only applies to organic contaminants and short- lived radionuclides, and leaves most metals and long-lived radionuclides. The natural attenuation Processes may reduce the potential risk Posed by site contaminants in three ways: (i)contaminants could be converted to a less toxic form througy destructive processes such as biodegradation or abiotic transformations; (ii) potential exposure levels may be reduced by lowering concentrations (dilution and dispersion); and (iii) contaminant mobility and bioavailability may be reduced by sorption to geomedia. In this review, authors will focus will focul on "sorption" among the natural attenuation processes of hazardous inorganic contaminants including radionuclides. Note though that sorption and transformation processes of inorganic contaminants in the natural setting could be influenced by biotic activities but our discussion would limit only to geochemical reactions involved in the natural attenuation. All of the geochemical reactions have been studied in-depth by numerous researchers for many years to understand "retardation" process of contaminants in the geomedia. The most common approach for estimating retardation is the determination of distrubution coefficiendts ($K_{d}$) of contaminants using parametric or mechanistic models. As typocally used in fate and contaminant transport calculations such as predictive models of the natural attenuation, the $K_{d}$ is defined as the ratio of the contaminant concentration in the surrounding aqueous solution when the system is at equilibrium. Unfortunately, generic or default $K_{d}$ values can result in significant error when used to predict contaminant migration rate and to select a site remediation alternative. Thus, to input the best $K_{d}$ value in the contaminant transport model, it is essential that important geochemical processes affecting the transport should be identified and understood. Precipitation/dissolution and adsorption/desorption are considered the most important geochemical processes affecting the interaction of inorganic and radionuclide contaminants with geomedia at the near and far field, respectively. Most of contaminants to be discussed in this presentation are relatively immobile, i.e., have very high $K_{d}$ values under natural geochemical environments. Unfortunately, the obvious containment in a source area may not be good enough to qualify as monitored natural attenuation site unless owner demonstrate the efficacy if institutional controls that were put in place to protect potential receptors. In this view, natural attenuation as a remedial alternative for some of sites contaminated by hazardous-inorganic components is regulatory and public acceptance issues rather than scientific issue.

Recently, waste landfills built on seashores have been increased because of the easy availability of broad area near the urban communities. To evaluate the performance of the marine clay landfill liner numerical contaminant transport analyses are performed by selecting the typical section of a waste landfill built on seashores and using hydraulic conductivity data obtained from the site. Also, the laboratory electrical resistivity test and the in-situ corrosion test are performed in order to analyze the influence of the soil and leachates composing the landfills on the construct ion materials. From the results of contaminant transport analyses, it is shown that the leachates can be migrated faster through narrow pervious channels than the wide homogeneous pervious tedium and the importance of good quality barriers to prevent the contaminant migration is recognized. In the laboratory electrical resistivity test all the earth materials except the cover soils saturated with distilled water have small resistivities, which shows a high potential of corrosivity of soils composing landfills. However, the degree of corrosion of specimens buried in the landfills was not so severe except the zinc and carbon steel specimens. This apparently conflict results present the necessity of the investigation of other major factors and the long term in-situ corrosion test.

본 연구에서는 중금속으로 오염된 토양이나 자갈을 댐 축조 재료로 사용할 경우 주변 환경에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위하여 댐 침투수와 오염물 거동에 대한 수치 모의를 실시하였다 두 가지 상용 프로그램(SEEP2D 와 FEMWATER)을 이용하여 침투수 분석을 수행하였으며, 결과를 상호 비교 분석함으로써 수치 모의의 신뢰성을 획득하였다. 특히 오염된 댐 축조재료로 인한 환경적 안정성을 검토하기 위하여 세 가지 시나리오, 즉 댐체에 균열이 없는 경우(시나리오 1), 댐의 차수벽 역할을 하는 표면 콘크리트 슬래브 상부에 균열이 발생하는 경우(시나리오 2), 댐체 하부 즉 프린스와 콘크리트 슬래브와 접촉부에 균열이 발생하는 경우(시나리오 3)에 대하여 각각 수치 모의를 실시하였다. 침투수 해석 결과, 슬래브 상부에 균열이 있는 경우, 즉 시나리오 2에서 계산된 단위폭당 침투수량은 $14.311\sim14.924m^3/day$으로 다른 경우에 비해 약 1,000배 큰 값을 보였다. 또한 FEMWATER프로그램을 사용하여 오염물 거동을 수치모의하였다. 오염물질이 지속적으로 침출되어 나오는 상황을 고려하여 주축조구역은 농도 13ppb가 지속적으로 유지되도록 초기조건을 설정하였다. 오염물 거동분석 결과 시나리오 1에서 2ppb 정도의 오염물이 댐체 하류 부분에 도달하는데 걸리는 시간은 최소 55,000년이었으며, 시나리오 2의 경우 약 50년 정도, 마지막으로 시나리오 3의 경우 27,000년이였다. 댐체 상부에 균열이 발생한 경우는 댐에 균열이 발생하지 않은 경우보다 약 500배 이상 빠른 유속이 나타나기 때문에 오염물도 균열이 발생하지 않은 경우에 비해 상당히 빠르게 퍼져나가는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 결론적으로 슬래브 상부에 균열이 발생한 경우 100년 이내에 댐체 하부천 2ppb 이상의 오염물이 전달될 가능성이 있음을 확인하였지만, 균열이 없거나 슬래브 하부에 균열이 발생한 경우에는 오염물이 외부로 이동될 가능성이 거의 없었다. 따라서 콘크리트 슬래브에 대한 지속적인 유지 관리로 균열 발생을 적절히 제어할 수 있다면, 본 연구에서 제안한 오염된 사력재의 CFRD 내부 축조재료로의 활용은 고려 가능한 대안이 될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Migration of leachate generated through embankment of construction waste soil (CWS) in low-lying areas was studied through physical and chemical analysis. A leachate solution containing soluble cations from CWS was found to have a pH above 9.0. To determine the distribution coefficients in the alkali solution, column and migration tests were conducted in the laboratory. The physical and chemical properties of CWS satisfied environmental soil criteria; however, the pH was high. The effective diffusion coefficients for CWS ions fell within the range of $0.725-3.3{\times}10^{-6}cm^2/s$. Properties of pore water and the amount of undissolved gas in pore water influenced advection-diffusion behavior. Contaminants migrating from CWS exhibited time-dependent concentration profiles and an advective component of transport. Thus, the transport equations for CWS contaminant concentrations satisfied the differential equations in accordance with Fick's 2nd law. Therefore, the migration of the contaminant plume when the landfilling CWS reaches water table can be predicted based on pH using the effective diffusion coefficient determined in a laboratory test.

We evaluated natural attenuation of petroleum hydrocarbons in a shallow aquifer using a modeling study. The studied shallow aquifer was severely contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons, especially toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes (i.e, TEX). The exact spill history was not known. Therefor we used a contaminant level in May 1999 (the first sampling date of our integrated study) as an initial contaminant concentration. we calibrated required transport parameters using the contamination levels obtained from groundwater analyses in September of 1999. For fate and transport of the petroleum contaminants, five case 2 with sorption and degradation. case 3 with sorption and degradation (half decay constant compared with case 2), case 4 with degradation but no sorption, and case 5 with sorption but no degradation. For sorption and degradation, a linear sorption isotherm and first order irreversible decay was assumed, respectively and no additional contamination source to groundwater is also assumed.

균열암반에서 콜로이드를 동반한 방사성 핵종의 이동을 핵종붕괴사슬과 주변암반으로제한적 분자확산을 고려하여 모사하였다. 암반 내 핵종 이동을 모사하기 위한 핵종이동 시스템과 지배 방정식 및 초기/경계 조건을 설정하여 반 해석해를 도출하였으며, 수치적 라플라스 역변환을통하여 반해석해의 검증을 실시하였다. 유사콜로이드의 반응상수가 균열 내에 미치는 영향과 콜로이드의 여과작용이 핵종이동에 미치는 영향 그리고 주변 암반으로 제한적 확산이 핵종이동에 미치는 영향에 대하여 알아보았다. 지하수 내에 존재하는 유사 콜로이드의 양이 많아질수록 균열 내 방사성 핵종이동의 가속현상이 크게 나타났으며 여과 계수가 모든 핵종에 대하여 $10^{-3}$ (m$^{-1}$)보다 클 경우 여과에 의한 핵종 지연을 무시할 수 없었다. 콜로이드 존재로 인한 핵종가속과 더불어, 주변암반으로 방사성핵종의 분자확산이 제한적일 경우에 예측된 핵종가속현상은 확산깊이가 적을수록 더 커지는 것을 알 수 있었고, 이때 가속에 영향을 주는 유효확산깊이가 존재하는 것을 발견할 수 있었다. 또한 주변암반의 저지계수가 클수록 제한적 확산깊이에 따른 핵종들의 가속범위의 증가를 볼 수 있었다.
