This study was carried out to evaluate the status of the groundwater quality for paddy fields irrigation in Korea. Water samples were collected at 130 sites throughout the country. Samples were collected at three seasons - April, July and October - in 2000. According to our survey, the groundwater was found to be suitable for irrigation purpose. Average EC was shown 0.286 dS/m. Nitrate-nitrogen and $Cl^-$ concentration was 5.6 mg/L, 32.95 mg/L which satisfied the Korean Standards for Irrigation Water. Nitrate-nitrogen concentration in each province was shown as following orders: Jeju (11.17 mg/L) > Chungnam (8.16 mg/L) > Gyeongbuk (6.64 mg/L) > Gyounggi (5.91 mg/L) > Chungnam (4.95 mg/L) > Gyeongnam (3.91 mg/L) > Jeonbuk (3.50 mg/L) > Jeonnam (3.27 mg/L) > Gangwon (2.91 mg/L). The concentration by sampling seasons were October (6.62 mg/L) > July (5.88 mg/L) > April (4.78 mg/L). As the soil of Jeju Province is usually derived from volcanic ash soils mainly used for upland drops, it may influence the nitrate-nitrogen concentration of groundwater. The amount of rainfall also influence the water quality. But the $COD_{Cr}$ were shown April (3.17 mg/L) > July (2.91 mg/L) > October (2.40 mg/L), it is highly related in the basal dose of organic matter fertilizers. This study demonstrated that groundwater quality was suitable for irrigation, but continuous monitoring is recommended for agricultural policy and developing OECD agricultural environment indicators.

This study was carried out to elucidate the relation between water quality and structure of the aquatic ecosystem in the agriculture reservoir Otae-ji from January to December in 2009. The proportion of forest was 46.98%, which means that non-point sources are major contributor of water pollution in this area. The annual mean COD(Chemical Oxygen Demand) in Otae-ji was $3.6mgL^{-1}$, indicating, level II of environmental standards and the trophic state was mesotrophic. Although total phosporus concentration in the reservoir was high in August due to large inflow of nutrients from outside the reservoir during monsoon season, there was no break out of significant algal bloom in the summer. The seasonal succession of phytoplankton showed that the dinophyta dominated in the the spring, chlorophyta in the summer, chrysophyta and chlorophyta in the autumn and chrysophyta in the winter. In case of zooplankton, rotifers dominated in the most seasons, but cladoceran(Bosmina longirostris) dominated in June and copepod(Nauplii) in August. The macrophyte plants showed diverse species compositon consisted of 3 varieties, 24 species, 23 genera, 15 families and 14 orders. The macroinvertebrates also showed various FFG(Functional Feeding Groups) such as GC(Gathering-Collector), P(Predator), SH(Shedder), FC(Filter-Collector) and PP(Plant-Piercer). Ecosystem stability analysis using aquatic insects was classified as Group I, which has high resilience and resistance indices. A total of 14 species of fish was collected but exotic species such as Lepomis macrochirus and Micropterus salmoides were not found in Otae-ji. In conclusion, the preservation of healthy food wed in the reservoir ecosystem is closely related to water quality management as well as effective prevention of algal bloom by helping good material circulation in aquatic ecosystems.

As the number of single-person households increases, the consumption of bottled water is increasing. In addition, as the public's interest in radioactivity increases, interest in the field of living radioactivity is also increasing. Since drinking water is an essential element in our daily life, it must be safe from radioactivity. In this study, gamma radiation of drinking spring water was measured and internal exposure dose evaluation was performed to determine its harmfulness. K-40 and uranium-based radioactivity analysis was performed through a high-purity germanium detector, and as a result, drinking water was detected somewhat higher than that of mixing water. Since there is no regulation on the natural radioactivity concentration in Korea, it was compared with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Drinking Water Regulations and World Health Organization standard. As a result, there were some items that exceeded standards. Internal exposure was evaluated according to the effective dose formula of ICRP 119. As the result was derived that a maximum of 1.17 mSv per year could be received. This result means that the dose limit for the general public may be exceeded, and it was judged that it is necessary to set an appropriate standard value and present a recommendation value through continuous monitoring in the future.

Three water treatment plants(WTPs) in Jeju island whose source water have different characteristics from those of the mainland of Korea were investigated. Coefficients of bulk water decay($k_b$) of free chlorine at $5^{\circ}C$ for ES, GJ, NW WTPs were $-0.003hr^{-1}$, $-0.002hr^{-1}$ and $-0.001hr^{-1}$ respectively based on bottle tests. To simulate the free chlorine variations in the distribution system using EPANET, ES WTP was chosen. Free chlorine concentrations of several sites were less than the drinking water quality standards(i.e., 0.1 mg/L); E5(0.03 mg/L), E6(0.02 mg/L), W21(0.02 mg/L) and W25(0.03 mg/L). To maintain more than 0.1 mg/L of free chlorine in the distribution system, at least 1.9 mg/L of chlorine was needed at the WTP, which suggested rechlorination was needed to supply palatable tap water to customers. Two sites, one that diverged into E5 and E6 in the east-line and another located before E21 in the west-line were selected for the appropriate rechlorination locations. The recommended rechlorination dosages were 0.42 mg/L for the east and 0.27 mg/L for the west. The simulated results indicated that the free chlorine could be reduced to 0.4 mg/L at the WTP with rechlorination, and taps with excessive free chlorine could be more stabilized(i.e., 0.1~0.4 mg/L).

현재 건물 부력에 대한 보호조치로 경제성 및 효율성 측면을 고려하여 영구배수 공법의 사용이 증가하고 있다. 영구배수공법은 건축물에 접하는 지하수를 외부로 배수시켜 건축물에 작용하는 부력을 근본적으로 제거하는 공법으로, 영구배수공법 사용시 유출지하수가 발생하게 된다. 또한 우리나라는 국제인구행동연구소(PAI)에서 지정한 물 부족 국가로 지정되어 유출지하수의 활용이 요구되고 있지만 이에 대한 평가프로세스가 아직 충분하지 않다. 따라서 본 연구는 현장 적용 사례를 통해 현장 단위에서 유출되는 지하수의 활용여부를 결정할 수 있는 평가 프로세스를 구축하고 경제성을 분석하였다. 그 결과 상수도와 비교한 10년간 상수절감 비용을 통해 유출지하수의 활용이 가능한 것으로 나타났다.

급속한 산업발전과 인구증가, 생활 수준의 향상으로 영양염류를 포함한 하·폐수 발생량이 매년 증가하고 있다. 증가하는 하·폐수 발생량과 더불어 미처리 연계처리수(분뇨, 가축분뇨, 산업폐수, 침출수, 음폐수)또한 발생량이 증가하고 있고, 연계처리수 상당 수가 인근 하수처리장으로 연계하여 연계처리되고 있다. 연계처리수는 기존 유입하수와 비교했을 때 저유량 고농도의 특징을 가지고 있기때문에 하수처리장에서는 방류수 수질 악화, 처리량 증가, 오염부하 증가, 충격부하 또는 중금속 유입 등과 같은 많은 문제점을 가지게 된다. 이와같은 문제를 해결하기 위해서 하수처리장에 연계 유입되는 연계처리수의 양 및 수질 등의 조사가 필요하고, 하수처리에 미치는 영향등에 관한 연구가 필요하다. 따라서 본 논문은 연계처리수의 영향을 살펴보기 위해 4계절에 따른 수온조건을 고려했을 때 연계처리수의 영향 및 연계처리수 유입 유량 분배 등 영향인자를 고려하여 시나리오를 만들고 최적의 효율을 나타내는 조건을 분석하고자 한다.

우리나라 상수도 기반시설 설비에 관련된 기존의 인증평가는 경제적 측면과 내구성 등 물리적 측면에 초점을 맞추어 사용되어 왔다. 그러나 경제수준이 상승하면서 상수도에 대한 위생, 보건, 안전성, 삶의 질에 대한 국민의식이 향상됨에 따라 상수도 서비스의 위생보건학적 품질향상이 요구되고 있다. 지난 5년간 국내 497개 정수장의 수질분석 자료를 고찰한 결과 pH는 5.8~8.5의 범위로 나타났다. 하지만, 현재 우리나라 수도용 자재 및 제품의 위생안전기준 공정시험방법(위생안전시험법)은 pH 7.0에서만 평가하고 있어, 실제 상수도 pH 조건에서 관내 중금속용출에 대한 기초정보가 부족하다. 이러한 배경으로 본 연구에서는 국내에서 대표적으로 사용되는 관에 대하여 pH변화가 중금속용출에 미치는 영향을 실험적으로 분석연구하였다. 본 연구 결과, pH가 낮아질수록 일부 금속의 용출정도가 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 특히 pH 5.8일 경우, 구리재질의 관에서 Cu가 보정계수(Normalization Factor) 적용 후에도 위생안전기준을 상회하였다. 스테인레스 재질의 관에서는 Cr, Cu가, 구리재질의 이음관에서는 Cd, Pb, Cu, Zn이, 아연재질의 이음관에서는 Zn이 기준치를 각각 상회하였으나 보정계수를 적용하면 기준치를 만족하였다. 본 연구의 결과로 현행 위생안전시험법에서 pH조건을 7.0 이외의 낮은 pH 조건을 포함하는 개정의 필요성이 제안되었다. 추후 상수도관으로 사용되는 다른 종류의 관에 대한 추가 연구의 필요성도 제시되었다. 본 연구는 차후 우리나라 위생안전기준의 개정연구에 필요한 기초자료 제시에 기여를 하였다.

Deuterium (D) is an isotope with one more neutron number than hydrogen (H). Heavy elements rarely change their chemical properties with little effect even if the number of neutrons increases, but low-mass elements change their vibration energy, diffusion rate, and reaction rate because the effect cannot be ignored, which is called an isotope effect. Recently, in the semiconductor and display industries, there is a trend to replace hydrogen gas (H₂) with deuterium gas (D₂) in order to improve process stability and product quality by using the isotope effect. In addition, as the demand for D₂ in industries increases, domestic gas producers are making efforts to produce and supply D₂ on their own. In the case of high purity D₂, most of them are produced by electrolysis of heavy water (D₂O), and among D₂, hydrogen deuteride (HD) molecules are present as isotope impurities. Therefore, in order to maximize the isotope effect of hydrogen in the electronic industry, HD, which is an isotope impurity of D₂ used in the process, should be small amount. To this end, purity analysis of D₂ for industrial processing is essential. In this study, HD quantitative analysis of D₂ for high purity D₂ purity analysis was established and hydrogen isotope RM (Reference material) was developed. Since hydrogen isotopes are difficult to analyze with general gas analysis instrument, they were analyzed using a high-precision mass spectrometer (Gas/MS, Finnigan MAT271). High purity HD gas was injected into Gas/MS, sensitivity was determined by a signal according to pressure, and HD concentrations in two bottles of D₂ were quantified using the corresponding sensitivity. The amount fraction of HD in each D₂ was (4518 ± 275) μmol/mol, (2282 ± 144) μmol/mol. D₂, which quantifies HD amount using the developed quantitative analysis method, will be manufactured with hydrogen isotope RM and distributed for quality management and maintenance of electronic industries and gas producers in the future.

A mass balance method for purity assessment of thermolabile organic reference materials was established by combining several techniques, including liquid chromatography with UV/VIS detector (LC-UV), Karl-Fischer (K-F) Coulometry, and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). This method was applied to three fluoroquinolones like enrofloxacin, norfloxacin and ciprofloxacin. LC-UV was used to analyze structurally related organic impurities based on UV/VIS absorbance spectra obtained in combination with LC separation. For all three organic reference materials, the UV/VIS spectra of the separated impurities were similar to that of the major component of the corresponding materials. This indicates that the impurities are structurally related to the respective reference material sharing common chromophores. Impurities could be quantified by comparing their absorbances at the wavelength of maximum absorbance (${\lambda}_{max}$). The water contents of the reference materials were measured by K-F Coulometry by an oven-drying method. The total inorganic impurities contents were assayed from ash residues in TGA analysis with using air as a reagent gas. The final purities estimated from results of those analytical techniques were assigned as ($99.91{\pm}0.06$), ($97.09{\pm}0.17$) and ($91.85{\pm}0.17$)% (kg/kg) for enrofloxacin, norfloxacin and ciprofloxacin, respectively. The assigned final purities would be applied to the reference materials which will be used as calibrators for the certification of those compounds in matrix CRMs as starting points for the traceability of their certified values to SI units.
