This study is to evaluate the risk perception of noise of the ground-crews in the Korean airbases who exposed to noise of jet plane. 1148 ground-crews and 231 pilots of 2 airbases participated in this study. The questionnaires of risk perception with visual analogue scale were completed by the participants. For comparison, the perception of other risks such as beef contaminated with dioxin, AIDS, lung cancer, otitis media, shigellosis, driving, drinking, and smoking were also included in the questionnaire of risk perception. The results of this study suggested the necessity of risk communication about noise and activation of effective hearing conservation program in the Korean air-force.

Recently the ozone generation system is well used for cleaning the contaminated water by using the strong oxidization effects of ozone. Ozone generation system is composed of ozone generation device, air or oxygen supply device and high voltage apply device. In this paper, commercial frequency was applied to the wire typed conductor. The ozone concentration was measured with air or oxygen as a supplied gas, which can be used as basic data for the development of ozonizer system.

The several water resources are showed recently the various pollution types due to the industrialization and the disarranged district development. The living waste water, plant waste water and so are contaminated continuously and the recycling water is concerned highly to save the cost and to improve the environment as the general people. The dust and the heavy metal in the air and the acid rain are contaminating the river water and the underground water. The clean environment is on the rise to the general people and is to be the social problems. There is going to complement and repair the water supplying and fire extinguishing pipeline to save the construction cost and improve the environment in the construction facilities parts. Therefore, in this paper the recycling water treatment/supply apparatus using the living waste water is considerated technically and is raised on the practical uses.

A simple and sensitive method of determining trace amounts of benzene hexachloride (BHC) in air has been investigated. The sample is passed through the n-hexane solution and the absorbance of it was measured at 245nm spectrophotometrically and the concentration of benzene hexachloride was calculated using a working curve obtained from the vaporized standard benzene hexachloride passed into n-hexane.

The effect of air pollution on the distribution facilities was investigated. In order to evaluate the pollution level in the metropolitan area, contaminated specimens were analyzed with various technique such as ICP-AES, EA, and so on. The contaminants on the surface of the distribution line or insulators were combined with approximately 10 percent of organic and 90 percent of inorganic materials. We found out that the electric facilities were affected by the contaminants on the surface of the facilities.

To detect dust-loaded air-mass over land and ocean, we propose an index, which is essentially the difference in Rayleigh-corrected reflectance between 412 and 443 nm bands of SeaWiFS. Radiative transfer simulations are conducted to show that the index is linearly related to the optical thickness of modeled dust-contaminated aerosol while showing insensitivity against non-absorbing model aerosols. Asian SeaWiFS data set of 2001 spring is used to produce daily composite imagery of the index, which compares well with TOMS Aerosol Index and with predicted aerosol optical thickness predicted by CFORS chemical weather forecast.

This is to supply the basic data for saving energy and the appropriate way of waste disposal. The amount of waste disposed and its heat after burning is guessed to get conclusions. 1. The amount of disposable waste in 1990 in Seoul area is expected to be 2.2kg per man/day, coal ashes (YONTAN) 0.7kg, non-coal ashes 1.5kg. 2. The amount of waste combustible and heat after burning will be increased, and it is useful when the waste has Less than $70\%$ of water. 3. The method to collect waste should be specially organized, because most of the waste collected In Korea Is wet. 4. As the heat emitted from mass burning is $4\times10^{12}kcal/y$ in 1985, it is considered to be in senses of energy saving and the rationnal way of waste disposal. 5. Special concern is needed because the environment contaminated will be polluted in result of burning.

Recently, there are many cases in the roadway design for successive tunnel with small distance between two tunnels. In this case, the degree of interference for successive tunnels is a significant consideration in the design of ventilation systems. Also, Re-inflows of contaminated air in successive tunnel make serious ventilation problems in case of fire accident in the tunnel. In this study, for successive tunnels in Donghae highway project, the concentration of contaminant such as CO, NOx and Smoke were calculated by numerical analysis using 1D and 3D-CFD analysis. And, the rate of re-inflow at the portals of successive tunnel according to the direction of wind were analysed.

Environmental impact by proposed pump and treatment remediation of groundwater contaminated with TCE over 0.6 mg/L down to 0.005 mg/L was assessed for 30 years operation in an industrial park. Total amount of groundwater treated was $2.96{\times}10^7m^3$ and the amount of TCE removed was 17.6 kg at most. The life cycle assessment was used to estimate the environmental cost and environmental benefit and their effects on the environment could be analyzed. Most of the environmental cost was accrued from electricity generation for 30 years pump operation, which includes energy consumption, resources consumption such as coal, crude oil, emission of global warming gas and acid gas into air, waste water production, and waste generation. Environmental impact could be quantified with a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) model for soil and groundwater remediation and normalized based upon consumption and emission quantities per capita in the world. Among the normalized values, acidification material release was the most significant.

The ability to measure groundwater contaminant flux is increasingly being recognized as crucial in order to prioritize contaminated site cleanups, estimate the efficiency of remediation technologies, measure rates of natural attenuation, and apply proper source terms to model groundwater contaminant transport. Recently, a number of methods have been developed and subsequently applied to measure contaminant mass flux in groundwater in the field. Flux measurement methods can be categorized as either point methods or integral methods. As the name suggests, point methods measure flux at a specific point or points in the subsurface. To increase confidence in the accuracy of the measurement, it is necessary to increase the number of points (and therefore, the cost) of the sampling network. Integral methods avoid this disadvantage by using pumping wells to interrogate large volumes of the subsurface. Unfortunately, integral methods are expensive because they require that large volumes of contaminated water be extracted and managed. Recent work has investigated the development of an integral method that does not require extraction of contaminated water from the subsurface. We begin with a review of the significance and importance of measuring groundwater contaminant mass flux. We then review groundwater contaminant flux measurement methods that are either currently in use or under development. Finally, we conclude with a qualitative comparison of the various flux measurement methods.
