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.

해상으로 운송되는 위험유해물질(HNS, Hazardous and Noxious Substance)은 6,000여종 이상으로 많은 종류를 포함하고 있으므로, 유출시 대응전략 수립을 위한 HNS 거동 및 위험반경 예측을 결정론적으로 제시하기 어렵다. HNS 거동예측에서는 예측의 신속성과 효율성을 고려하여 차이가 미미한 모든 종류의 HNS 특성을 모두 고려하는 대신에 거동에 크게 영향을 미칠 수 있는 특성들에 초점을 맞쳐 대표적인 거동예측 모델을 개발하여 적용할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 HNS를 기체상, 액체상, 고체상 등 크게 3분류로 구분하고, 각각의 분류별 거동특성 모델링을 연구하였다. 물질 특성별 거동특성은 증기압, 용해도, 밀도 등을 고려하였으며, 각각의 변수에 따른 증발, 혼?, 침강 등의 거동을 모델링하였다. 물질의 거동특성 모델링은 대기 해양 확산모델의 계산에서 대기중 확산, 수중 확산, 해저면 침적 등을 결정하는 과정으로 활용된다.

In this study we collected various substance codes, physical and chemical properties, and hazard level of the 545 HNS which was determined earlier, and constructed the Korean HNS database including International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) codes,, informations of explosive and corrosive characteristics of HNS after reviewing of US, Japan and European Database. And also problems of present HNS Database which focused mainly on land-based environment and an absence of information for chemical and physical properties of mixed substance HNS are reported. For the efficient implementation of comprehensive HNS management system, we constructed the basic model for the HNS database in marine environment and made suggestions for improvement for the future development of HNS Database to be prepared for the marine spill accidents.

Reviewing the statistics of harbor shipment of hazardous and noxious substance and the past spill accidents of HNS enabled us to assess the potential risks of transportation of HNS through the major harbors in Korea. Ulsan, Yeosu, Daesan port are relatively evaluated high risk in fire, health and environment disaster. Through the analysis of domestic preparedness to HNS accidents, the supplement of expertise resource to respond the vulnerability of the explosion, the fire and the physiological hazard, is required. Based on this risk assessment and review of the advanced case of Japan in building up HNS response system, a resource model at a national level was proposed which differentiates the sea areas for the proper allocation of resources to respond effectively to HNS accidents in the future.

The types of hazardous and noxious substances (HNS) being transported by sea in Korea are at about 6,000, HNS transport volume accounts for 19% of total tonnage shipped in Korea, and the increase rate of seaborne HNS trade in Korea is 2.5 times higher than the average increase rate of the world seaborne HNS trade. Reflecting this trend, HNS spill incidents have been frequently reported in Korean waters, and there are increasing social demands to develop HNS management technology for the preparedness, response, post-treatment and restoration in relation to HNS spill incidents at sea. In this study, a risk-based HNS prioritization system was developed and an HNS risk database was built with evaluation indices such as sea transport volume, physicochemical properties, toxicities, persistency, and bioaccumulation. Risk scores for human health and marine environments were calculated by multiplying scores for toxicity and exposure. The top-20 substances in the list of HNS were tabulated, and Aniline was ranked first place, but it needs to be managed not by individuals but by HNS groups with similar score levels. Limitations were identified in obtaining data of chronic toxicity and marine ecotoxicity due to lack of testing data. It is necessary to study on marine ecotoxicological test in the near future. Moreover, the priority list of HNS is expected to be utilized in the development of HNS management technology and the relevant technologies, after the expert's review process and making up for the lack of test data in the current research results.

해양 HNS(Hazardous and Noxious Substances)의 유출 사고 시, 막대한 인명 피해와 환경 훼손을 피하기 위해 유출 사고 조기 예측과 정확한 확산 경로를 예측하는 것이 필수적이다. 본 연구의 최종목적은 전산유체역학을 이용하여 HNS사고가 발생하였을 때 위험구역을 적절히 예측할 수 있는 수치해석기법을 개발하고, 다양한 해양사고조건과 환경영향을 고려하여 근접역에서의 2차원 확산 특성을 고찰하고 확산 현상을 예측하기 위한 모델을 개발하는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 상용코드인 ANSYS FLUENT(V. 17.2)을 사용하여 근접역에서의 2차원 확산특성을 모사하고 분석하였다. 특히, 누출된 HNS의 위치별 농도를 예측하기 위해 종수송방정식(Species Transport Equation)을 이용하였으며 RANS(Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes) 방정식과 표준 $k-{\varepsilon}$ 모델을 이용하여 난류유동을 모사하였다. 해석된 결과는 문헌에서 얻어진 실험데이터와 상호비교하였으며 해수의 유속, HNS의 밀도에 따른 유층 두께, 해수면 HNS 평균 농도 그리고 HNS 전파 속도를 분석하였다. 유층 두께는 해류 유속에 따라 변화하며 변화 경향에 따라 두 구간으로 나눌 수 있다. 해류 전파 속도는 대체로 해류 유속과 선형적 비례관계를 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 해수면 평균 HNS 농도는 해류 유속에 선형적으로 비례하여 감소하며, HNS 밀도가 큰 경우 해수면 평균 HNS 체적 농도는 더 빠르게 감소하게 된다. 이러한 결과는 HNS 확산 특성을 분석하고 관련된 예측모델을 개발하는 데에 기여할 수 있다.

Accidents associated with hazardous materials, including oil and HNS, in maritime transportation show increasing trend. Therefore, preventive countermeasures for such accidents should be provided. The purpose of this study is to analyze level of risk on human loss and potential damage to environment, using data on domestic marine accidents carrying hazardous materials (2002~2014), and identify high-risk accident types for urgent risk management which needs findings of accident causes and proper mitigation measures. High-risks on human loss are explosion and suffocation, occurred in process of ship maintenance and tank cleaning. On the other hand, high-risk on environmental damage is spill caused by ship accidents (collision, grounding and etc.). Especially, spill occurs during loading operation of oil and HNS onboard a ship. Strict operation supervision/management and safety education/training on a regular basis could prevent accidents, because human factors such as not wearing safety gear and careless cargo handling cause most of the marine accidents.

As the volume of marine hazardous and noxious substances (HNSs) transported in domestic and overseas seas increases, the risk of HNS spill accidents is gradually increasing. HNS leaked into the sea causes destruction of marine ecosystems, pollution of the marine environment, and human casualties. Secondary accidents accompanied by fire and explosion are possible. Therefore, various types of HNSs must be rapidly detected, and a control strategy suitable for the characteristics of each substance must be established. In this study, the ground HNS spill experiment process and application result of detection algorithms were presented based on hyperspectral remote sensing. For this, styrene was spilled in an outdoor pool in Brest, France, and simultaneous observation was performed through a hyperspectral sensor. Pure styrene and seawater spectra were extracted by applying principal component analysis (PCA) and the N-Findr method. In addition, pixels in hyperspectral image were classified with styrene and seawater by applying spectral matching techniques such as spectral distance similarity (SDS), spectral correlation similarity (SCS), spectral similarity value (SSV), and spectral angle mapper (SAM). As a result, the SDS and SSV techniques showed good styrene detection results, and the total extent of styrene was estimated to be approximately 1.03 m². The study is expected to play a major role in marine HNS monitoring.

With an entry into force of OPRC-HNS on June 14th 2007, response system against any large scale accidents related to HNS is required to respond rapidly and effectively in a national scale, US national response system and national contingency plan for any chemicals in operation were analyzed to understand the characteristics of management system and response system for any HNS driven accidents in the Us. Main characteristics of the US system were well described as an unified information window and an integrated incident command system supported by response facilities, manpower and technical support from other response organizations through good cooperation. In general, response activities are conducted by private sectors, however, the government will take over response activities in case large scale accidents occur in the Us. Expected expenses for response activities are covered by a type of Superfund in the Us. Several applicable ways are proposed to enable NGO to participate in and reorganize response system in ROK, and are feasible in collaboration with other response organizations and private sectors in the aspects of equipment, technology and manpower, Based upon the above activities, it is desirable to reorganize domestic rules and/or regulations related to response measures in ROK.
