유류로 오염될 위험성이 있는 지역에서 유류의 누출을 미리 감지하여 오염의 확산을 막기 위한 시스템을 개발하기 위하여, 유류에 상당량이 함유되어 있는 벤젠, 톨루엔, 에틸벤젠, 자일렌의 농도별 형광세기를 측정하였다. 이것은 단일방향족 탄화수소계 물질이 260nm대의 자외선영역의 빛을 흡수하여 290nm 파장 영역의 형광을 낸다는 원리를 이용한 것이었으나 실제 토양 시료의 형광을 측정할 때는 300-600nm파장 영역에서 형광이 나왔다 이것은 토양이 입자 물질로 구성되어 있기 때문에 나타나는 경향이라 사료된다. 흡광 영역이 비슷한 이 네 가지 단일 방향족 탄화수소계 물질들은 그 형광을 내는 파장 영역도 비슷하였으며, 토양시료의 형광세기는 오염시킨 농도가 증가함에 따라 증가하였다. 또한 이러한 경향은 토양 입자가 미세한 토양에서 더 뚜렷하게 나타났다. 따라서 본 측정 기술은 기존의 방법에 비하여 신뢰도가 높은 데이터를 얻을 수 있고, 간편하고 단순하여 한번의 설치로 주기적인 측정이 가능하므로 유류 오염의 위험이 있는 지역에서의 상시 측정장치로서 효과적일 것으로 판단된다.

The pilot scale biopile system was designed and operated for evaluation of bioremediation efficiency for petroleum contaminated soil. The pilot scale biopile consisted of biopile dome, aeration system and monitoring system and two biopiles were operated with nutrients and inoculum for more 100 days. The test pile A and B were analyzed with regard to pH, total carbon contents, water contents, nutrients (N, P) and TPH. The initial TPH concentrations for pile A and pile B were about 10,000 mg/kg and 2,300 mg/kg, respectively. After 100 days, the TPH contents decreased about 70% in the pile A and 30% in the pile B. Also, n-$C_{17}$/pristane and n-$C_{18}$/phytane ratios in all pile were significantly changed. The microbial densities in the pile A was increased by approximately $10^7$ CFU/g-soil~$10^8$ CFU/g-soil, but there was almost no changed in the pile B. The average biodegradation rates were calculated about 66.8 mg/kg-day in the pile A and 10.9 mg/kg-day in the pile B. Over the course of operation period, pile temperature was considered the major limiting factor for the efficiency of all biopiles.

Beryllium (Be), cobalt (Co), thallium (Tl) and vanadium (V) are candidates of 21 priority soil pollutants in Korea. The distribution of their concentration in soils from three contamination sources including industrial, roadside and mining areas was investigated. Concentrations of the metals were evaluated quantitatively using pollution indices and the fractionation of metals was conducted using modified SM&T (Standards Measurements and Testing programme) sequential extraction. Concentrations of the metals for all samples from industrial and roadside soils were within the range of natural background levels, while some of Be in soils from abandoned mines exceeded that the range. Enrichment Factor (EF) and Nemerow Integrated Pollution Index (NIPI) for Be, Co, Tl and V showed that there are effects or possibilities of anthropogenic activities. Pollution Load Index (PLI) analyses indicated all investigated sites needed further monitoring. The results of sequential extractions indicated mobile fractions (F1+F2) of Be, Tl and V were below 30% except some of Co in soil, which implies their low mobility to neighboring environment media. Variable tools like sequential extraction, comparison with background/actual concentration and pollution indices, as well as aqua regia extraction should be considered when evaluating Be, Co, Tl, V in soil.

제초제는 현대 농업에서 필수적인 농자재이나 생리활성을 갖기에 비목적대상생물에 대한 위해성을 배제할 수 없다. 제초제의 문제점중 잔류문제는 가장 중요한 부분이며 그중 인간생활과 밀접한 관계를 갖는 토양, 농작물중의 잔류는 더욱 중요하다. 토양과 통작물중 제초제의 잔류유해성은 토양, 기상, 제초제의 사용 및 작물재배 등의 조건에 따라 현저히 변화되나, 현 시점에서 토양중 제초제의 잔류에 대한 문제점은 후작물에 대한 영향과 같은 국부적인 것을 제외하고는 거의 없으며 농작물중 난류 또한 큰 문제가 없는 것으로 사료된다. 그러나 국민건강, 토양생태계를 비롯 환경에 대한 더 높은 안전성 확보를 위하여 제초제에 대한 모니터링실험과 같은 잔류성 조사가 더 많이 요구되며 사용자는 안전사용기준을 준수해야 하겠으며 제초제개발측면에서는 보다 저독성 약제를 개발하는데 최선을 다해야 하겠다.

Pot experiments were conducted to assess the applicability of ferric chloride ($FeCl_3$) as a washing agent for laboratory scale in-situ soil washing of paddy soil contaminated with Pb. During the monitoring period for nearly 90 days, the concentrations of Fe and Mn in the soil solution were lower than that of control soil due to lime ($Ca(OH)_2$) amendment for pH recovery. Lime amendment also affected solubility and fractionation of Pb into soil matrix. The result showed that Pb concentrations of soil solution were consistently lower than that of control soil, and the concentration in the exchangeable fraction in washed soil decreased from 13 to 2 mg/kg. There was no significant difference of biomass yield of rice plant in each pots, and Pb contents in rice roots and grains in washed soil decreased to 50 and 78%, respectively, of the control soil. Therefore, $FeCl_3$ could be used as an acceptable in-situ washing agent for agricultural paddy soil if appropriate soil pH management is subsequently practiced.

A distributed watershed model CAMEL (Chemicals, Agricultural Management and Erosion Losses) was applied to a small rural watershed where intensive livestock farming sites are located to estimate nitrate leaching rates from soil to groundwater. The model was calibrated against the stream flows, and T-N and $NO_3-N$ concentrations were observed at the watershed outlet for three rainfall events in 2014. The simulation results showed good agreement with the observed stream flows ($R^2=0.67{\sim}0.93$), T-N concentrations ($R^2=0.40{\sim}0.58$) and $NO_3-N$ concentrations ($R^2=0.43{\sim}0.65$). The estimated annual nitrate leaching rate of the watershed was 33.0 kg N/ha/yr. The contributing proportions of individual activities to the total nitrate leaching rate of the watershed were estimated for livestock farming, applications of chemical fertilizer, and manure. The simulation results showed that the highest contributor to the nitrate leaching rate of the watershed was chemical fertilizer applications. The simulation period was for one year only, however, and results may vary depending on different conditions. Gathering input data over a longer period of time and monitoring data for calibration is needed. When this has been accomplished, it is expected that this model can be applied to small rural watersheds for evaluating temporal and spatial variations of nitrogen transformations and transport processes.

Oxygen sensitivity and substrate requirement have been known as possible reasons for the intricate growth of Dehalococcoides spp. and limiting factors of for routinely applying bioaugmentation using anaerobic Dehalococcoides-containing microbes for remediating chlorinated organic compounds. To explore the effect of the short-term exposure of the short-term exposure of oxygen on Dehalococcoides capability, dechlorination performance, and hydrogen production fermentation from formate, an anaerobic reductive dechlorination mixed-culture (Evanite culture) including dehalococcoides spp. was in this study. In the results, once the mixed-culture were exposed to oxygen, trichloroethylene (TCE) degradation rate decreased and it was not fully recovered even addition of excess formate for 40 days. In contrast, hydrogen was continuously produced by hydrogen-fermentation process even under oxygen presence. The results indicate that although the oxygen-exposed cells cannot completely dechlorinate TCE to ethylene (ETH), hydrogen fermentation process was not affected by oxygen presence. These results suggest that dechlorinating microbes may more sensitive to oxygen than fermenting microbes, and monitoring dechlorinators activity may be critical to achieve an successful remediation of a TCE contaminated-aquifer through bioaugmentation using Dehalococcoides spp..

Hot air sparging is a groundwater remediation technique, in which organic contaminants volatilized into hot air from the saturated to vadose zone. In the laboratory diesel (10,000 mg TPH/kg) was spiked in contaminated saturated aquifer soil. The hot air ($34.9{\pm}2.7^{\circ}C$) was injected in intermittent (Q=1,500 mL/min, 10 minute injection and 10 minute idle) modes. We performed microcosm tests using the groundwater samples to assess TPH reductive remediation activity. For Terminal-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (T-RFLP) analysis of eubacterial communities in sludge of wastewater treatment plants and soil of experiment site, the 16S rDNA was amplified by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) from the sludge and the soil. The obtained 16S rDNA fragments were digested with Msp I and separated by electrophoresis gel. We found various sequence types for hot air sparging experiment with sludge soil samples that were closely related to Bacillus (149 bp, Firmicutes), Methlobacterium (149 bp, Euryarchaeotes), Pseudomonas (492 bp, ${\gamma}$-Proteobacteria), etc., in the clone library. In this study we find that TPH-water was reduced to 78.9% of the initial value in this experiment aquifer. The results of the present study suggests that T-RFLP method may be applied as a useful tool for the monitoring in the TPH contaminated soil fate of microorganisms in natural microbial community.

Several drinking water treatment plants (DWTPs) produce the bottled tap waters (BTWs) as pilot production and provide them for noncommercial use. In 2008, acetaldehyde and chloral hydrate were detected in some BTWs and the public worry over the safety of the water. In this study, the BTWs produced from 7 DWTPs were tested for 13 chemicals including disinfection byproducts (DBPs). The level of four trihalomethanes (THMs) were increased up to 15 days. The average concentration of them was 0.0075 mg/L at the time of bottling and it was increased to 0.0214 mg/L after 15 days. The average acetaldehyde concentration was 0.0406 mg/L at the time of bottling but it was went up to 0.2251 mg/L after 11 days and then decreased. Although the initial concentrations of DBPs were below the drinking water standard, we also traced them at different storage conditions. Temperature affected the formations of THMs and acetaldehyde concentrations significantly. While the average concentration of THMs ranged from 0.0113 to 0.0182 mg/L at $25^{\circ}C$, it was increased to 0.0132 ~ 0.0256 mg/L at $50^{\circ}C$. In case of acetaldehyde, concentration ranged from 0.0901 to 0.2251 mg/L at $25^{\circ}C$, it was increased to 0.3394 ~ 1.0591 mg/L at $50^{\circ}C$. Throughout the tests with 7 BTWs samples, none of the chemicals was exceeded the drinking water standard of Korea. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid the exposure of BTWs to sunlight or high temperature during distribution and storage.

간단한 모형시추공을 이용한 전기전도도 측정실험을 실시하고 이로부터 시추공에서의 수리상수 결정에 관련된 제반기초 환경을 검증하고 실험에 의한 모델방정식을 유도하였다. 실험은 상대적으로 높은 염도를 공내수로 하고 증류수를 지하수를 사용하여, 지하수의 유입과 유출되는 유량을 일정하게 유지한 상태에서 전기전도도를 측정하는 것으로 이루어졌다. 관찰의 주 대상은 지하수의 유량, 공내수와 지하수 사이의 염도차 및 밀도차에 따른 공내에서의 전기전도도 변화 양상에 있었다. 실험결과, 공내에서의 시간에 따른 전기전도도 변화가 매우 일정한 양상으로 나타남을 보였으며, 유량과 전기전도도 변화율 사이에 양호한 상관관계가 얻어졌다. 이 결과는 향후 추가될 일반적인 수리상수와 검층수리 상수들의 비교연구로 모델방정식에 대한 검증이 이루어진다면, 희석모델에 근거한 전기전도도검층 기법이 수리 상수 결정을 위한 효과적인 방법이 될 수 있음을 보여 주었다.
