  • Arsenic (As) is a ubiquitous element found in several forms in foods and environmental media, such as soil, air, and water. The primary route of human exposure is through ingestion of arsenic-contaminated food and drinking water. The predominant form of arsenic in drinking water is inorganic arsenic, which is both highly toxic and readily bioavailable.(omitted)

  • Hazardous substances produced from industrial sectors have caused serious contamination of soils and groundwater. The hydrophobic organic compounds in the subsurface are hard to be decomposed, and as they soil on the soil or last as a NAPL they might contaminate the groundwater for a long time. Although we recognize the danger of contaminated subsurface, very little was known about the effective remediation technique. This paper focuses on the remediation of the p-Cresol which contaminated subsurface by applying the surfactant-enhanced description technique. Sorption characteristics of soils and organic compounds are studied, and the applications of surfactant solution are studied for effective rededication. The results from this study could be used as some data for surfactant-enhanced rededication. The flexible-wall permeameter tests are performed in which in-situ remediation is simulated. Results show that triton X-100 at 2% solution disrobes p-Cresol 1.7 times as much as water description in the flexible-wall permeameter tests.

  • It has become interested in the concept of permeable barriers for the containment and/or destruction of contaminated groundwater. The purpose of these trench-like barriers is to provide in situ capture and possibly destruction of the contaminant while preserving groundwater flow to uncontaminated zones. For instance, a trichloreethylene(TCE) plume may be contained by a permeable in which reactive iron reduces TCE to ethylene and ethane, compounds which can be easily biodegraded. The objective of this research is to examine the feasibility of using zero-valent iron as a clean-up media in permeable reactive barrier system. A series of laboratory column tests are performed. The concentration of influent and effluent water and the rate of clean up are analysed from these test results. The experimental result shows that the majority of the contamination in groundwater is removed in the reactor. And it shows the corresponding increase in the concentration of chloride ions through the reactor. Results from this study indicate that permeable reactive barrier containing admixtures of zero-valent iron and other materials can effectively clean up groundwater contaminated with organic compounds.

  • For the purpose of improving hygienic quality of health-foods, sterilization effects of ${\gamma}$-ray and ozone on microoganisms associated with food cultured in the media and contaminated in Angelica keiskei powder were investigated. Ozone was immersed in water and sprayed in air, on the concentration of 3 mg liter-1 at an air flow rate of 5 liter min-3. Test strains cultured in the media completely inhibited by ${\gamma}$-ray at irradiation doses of 0.25~2 kGy. In the case of ozone, test bacteria inactivated after treatment of 10~20 minutes, but test mold, Aspergillus flavus was not effective. Strains contaminated in Angelica keiskei powder completely inhibited by ${\gamma}$-ray at irradiation doses of 2.5~7.5 kGy. However, when the powder was sprayed with ozonized air for 10hours, Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus among five strains were eliminated.

  • The objective of this study was to decide the designing factor for remediaton of the contaminated site. The soil and ground-water samples were analyzed and hydro- geological characteristics was assayed for the survey of pollution level. Also air-permeability test and MPN(most probable number) test were conducted for selecting the designing factor. The contaminants were mainly found in north-west part of the site and were expected to move toward the south. Ex-situ technology was expected more useful than in-situ one with the results of air-permeability test saying that air permeability was relatively low. Additional microbes were expected for remediation efficiency because residual microbes were loosely populated. The choosing of the designing factor was requisite for remediation of contaminated site.

  • Leaking underground storage tanks are a major source of groundwater contamination by petroleum hydrocarbons. Aerobic bioremediation has been highly effective in the remediation of many fuel releases. However, Bioremediation of aromatic hydrocarbons in groundwater and sediments is ofen limited by the inability to provide sufficient oxygen to the contaminated zones due to the low water solubility of oxygen. Nitrate can also serve as an electron acceptor and results in anaerobic biodegradation of organic compounds via the processes of nitrate reduction and denitrification. Because nitrate is less expensive and more soluble than oxygen. it may be more economical to restore fuel-contaminated aquifers using nitrate rather than oxygen. And denitrifying bacteria are commonly found in the subsurface and in association with contaminated aquifer materials. These studies have shown that BTEX and MTBE can be degraded by the nitrate-amended microcosms under aerobic and anaerobic conditons. Biodegradation of the toluene and ethylbenzne compounds occurred very quickly under denitrifying conditions. MTBE, benzene and p-xylene were recalcitrant under denitrifying conditions in this study, But finally Biodegradaton was observed for all of the test compounds.

  • The purpose of this study is to see the effect of microbial population and dynamics of the indigeonous microorganisms on hydrocarbon contaminated areas. The microbial structures and activities to determine the microbial capabilities of the contaminated sites are very important for the remedial action technology selection. Throughout microbial studies on different conditions by ETS(Electron Transport System) and microbial activity analysis, it was found that aeration and water contents are the most important factors in this site remediation. According to test results, Burkholderia spp. was dominant species, and acclimation is also an important factor for the accerelated biodegradation.
