A potable oil skimmer is in need to remove spilt oils before they spread, which is applicable to various situations of oil viscosity, spill location, current, tides, waves and wind. An air suction skimmer was selected to be developed because of its advantages such as simple structure, excellent transportability, and easy deployment. A prototype operating by a commercial vacuum cleaner was fabricated. Tests of the skimmer showed good performance : the maximum suction rate of water and suction head were 18㎥/h and 2.7m, respectively.

We reviewed various oil-spill models and condensed the integrated information into a prediction model, “Green Sea Ranger”which is applicable to Korean coastal area. The developed software consists of pre- and post-modules for environment setup and display of results and main module for the prediction of oil\`s fate. In the pre-module target areas can be selected from the included geographic information system and various environmental and optional numerical data for the prediction can be input through easy GUI or imported from the database we established. For the fate of the spilt oil we included effects of spreading, advection, evaporation, and emulsification. Preliminary numerical experiment has proved that the developed oil-spill prediction system can be easily utilized in on-site oil recovery operations which usually require a quick and reasonable prediction.

본 논문은 조류와 파랑중에서의 유벽의 성능에 관하여 저자들이 지난 수년간 수행한 연구 견과론 요약하여 수록하고 있다. 유벽의 성능 파악을 위해서 조류중 유벽의 누출개시 속도 예측, 파랑중 운동, 조류중 스커트의 변형에 관한 연구를 수행 하였다. 그 결과 해상 조건에서 유벽이 효과적인 보유 장비로서 활용되기 위해서는 그 보유 성능의 향상이 절대적으로 필요하다는 결론을 얻었다. 유벽의 보유 성능을 향상시키기 위한 한 방편으로 유벽을 이중으로 설치하는 방식의 효용성을 검토하였다. 연구를 통하여 동일한 형상의 유벽을 이중으로 적절히 설치함으로써 유벽의 보유 성능을 현격히 증대시킬 수 있다는 것을 입증하였다.

A digital image processing technique which is able to get the velocity vector distribution of a surface of the spilled oil in the ocean without contacting the flow itself. This technique is based upon the PIV(Particle Imaging Velocimetry) technique and its system mainly consists of a high sensitive camera, a CCD camera, an image grabber, and a host computer in which an image processing algorithm is adopted for velocity vector acquisition. For the acquisition of the advective velocity vector of floating matters on the ocean, a new multi-frame tracking algorithm is proposed, and for the acquisition of the diffusion velocity vector distribution of the spilt oil onto the water surface, a high sensitive gray-level cross-correlation algorithm is proposed.

An air suction skimmer was selected as a potable skimmer to be developed among the many reviewed skimmers because of its advantages such as simple structure, excellent transportability, and easy deployment. A prototype of the skimmer was fabricated. It was shown that the skimmer operated by a commercial vacuum cleaner has good performance. The maximum suction rate of water and the maximum suction head were 18$m^3$/hr and 2.7m, respectively.

Using dispersants is known to be an effective solution to accelerate the natural dispersion and being an appropriate oil spill response strategy. By breaking up large oil chunks into small droplets, dispersants are generally intended to help reducing further oil exposures and slicks. Collecting property data of circulating crude oil in South Korea and understanding the interaction between crude oils and dispersions need to be preceded for the effective dispersant use. This paper provides an property analysis of three selected oils which have the same composition of spilt oils from the Herbei Spirit Incident and conducts an emulsification and toxicity experiment with selected domestic and foreign dispersants. Results will present a direction of future domestic dispersants' development which aimed at eco-friendly and safety.

최근의 선박은 설계 단계부터 그 수명을 다할 때 까지 여러 가지 환경적인 측면이 중요하게 고려되어 제작되고 있다. 이 중 유조선의 좌초충돌에 의한 기름 유출사고는 심각한 해양오염의 일으키는 주요한 원인이 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 선박의 층돌해석코드를 이용한 시뮬레이션을 수행하여 선박이 어떠한 손상을 입게 되는지 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 위해서 105k 탱커모델을 구성하고 일련의 시리즈해석을 LS-Dyna3D로 해석을 수행하였다. 연구수행은 먼저, 요소크기의 수렴성을 확인하여 요소크기를 결정하였고, 좌초시나리오를 구성하여 해석한 후, 결과를 분석하여 나타내었다.

Objectives : This study presents a scientific basis for the establishment of an environmental health contingency plan for dealing with accidental coastal oil spills and suggests some strategies for use in an environmental health emergency. Methods : We reviewed the existing literature, and analyzed the various fundamental factors involved in response strategies for oil spill. Our analysis included data derived from Hebei Spirit oil spill and used air dispersion modeling. Results : Spill amounts of more than 1,000 kl can affect the health of residents along the coast, especially those who belong to vulnerable groups. Almost 30% of South Korean population lives in the vicinity of the coast. The area that is at the highest risk for a spill and that has the greatest number of people at risk is the stretch of coastline from Busan to Tongyeong. The most prevalent types of oil spilt in Korean waters have been crude oil and bunker-C oil, both of which have relatively high specific gravity and contain volatile organic compounds, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and metals. In the case of a spill of more than 1,000 kl, it may be necessary to evacuate vulnerable and sensitive groups. Conclusions : The government should establish environmental health planning that considers the spill amount, the types of oil, and the distance between the spot of the accident and the coast, and should assemble a response team that includes environmental health specialists to prepare for the future oil spill.

Objectives: We aimed to assess the risk of metabolic syndrome one year after the 2007 Hebei Spirit oil spill in Taean, Korea among people exposed to spilt oil during clean-up work. Methods: A total of 6,923 adults, including 3,019 males and 3,904 females, participated in the study. Health examinations and blood tests (total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, fasting blood sugar) were performed. A logistic regression model adjusting for age, gender, smoking history, drinking history, income, education, and marital status was used to estimate the risk of metabolic syndrome associated with the level of oil spill exposure. Results: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 24.9% among males and 18% among females. Compared with people living within 20 km of the coastline, the risk of metabolic syndrome among people living within 0.8 km of the coastline was significantly higher (male OR=1.696, 95% CI=1.320-2.178, female OR=1.992, 95% CI=1.549-2.561), including a significant dose-response relationship for distance from early contaminate coastline (p<0.001). The risk of metabolic syndrome was higher according to the increase of duration of cleaning work. The risk of metabolic syndrome among people who participated in the clean-up work for more than 116 days, compared with people who participated in the cleaning work for or less 14 days, was significantly higher (male OR=1.845, 95% CI=1.448-2.353, female OR=1.752, CI=1.378-2.228), with a significant dose-response relationship for days of clean-up work (p<0.001). Conclusion: This study showed that there is a significant association between exposure to the oil spill during the clean-up work, distance from early contaminate coastline and the risk of metabolic syndrome in a doseresponse manner.

태안해안국립공원의 곤충상에 관한 연구는 1996년 1차 자연자원조사를 시작으로 2005년부터 2014년까지 조사되었다. 조사된 지점은 대부분 해안지역, 사구, 배후초지 등이었다. 채집방법은 포충망을 이용한 채어잡기(Sweeping), 흡충관(Suction), 함정트랩(Pitfall trap), 야간조사(Light trap), 말레이즈트랩(Malaise trap)을 사용하였다. 총 17목, 215과 1,540종의 곤충상이 확인되었다. 나비목이 가장 큰 점유율을 가진 분류군으로 나타났고(34.2%), 그 뒤를 이어 딱정벌레목(28.3%), 노린재목(12.7%), 파리목(8.5%), 벌목(7.1%), 메뚜기목(4.7%), 잠자리목(2.0%), 기타목의 순으로 나타났다. 2007년 12월에 발생한 허베이스피리트호 태안 유류유출 사고 전 후로 사질성 곤충상의 변화를 비교한 결과, 전체 조사기간 동안 대부분 딱정벌레목에 속하는 45종의 사질성 곤충이 조사되었고, 유류오염이 사질성 곤충 출현 종 수에 미치는 영향은 적은 것으로 나타났다.
