안전 및 품질 평가시스템은 유해물질 재난을 예방하기 위해 유해물질의 생산 저장 수송 취급에 매우 중요하다. 현재 유해물질은 플라스틱, 가정의 세척제, 비료 또는 석유관련제품으로 우리의 일상생활 어디에서든지 존재하고 있다. 그러나 유해물질은 인간이나 환경에 누출되었을 때 매우 위험한 물질이다. 유해물질은 석유기반 경제시대에 매우 폭넓게 사용되고 있다. 우리나라의 환경부는 전세계적으로 유해물질의 유형이 약 십만개가 넘을 것으로 추산하고 있다. 또한 매년 4백개 이상의 새로운 물질이 개발되고 있다. 따라서 유해물질 관리측면에서 우리는 유해물질 사고로부터 안전한가에 대해 의문이 제기될 수 있다. 1984년에 발생해 6,400명이 넘는 사망자와 3만명 이상의 부상자를 낸 인도 보팔사고는 이러한 우리의 유해물질 안전에 대한 불안을 증폭시키는 대표적인 사례이다. 우리나라는 최근 산업의 고도화로 각종 유해물질 사고가 빈번하게 발생하고 있다. 따라서 낙후된 유해물질 관리시스템을 자기관리가 가능한 안전시스템으로 전환하기 위한 위험평가시스템의 구축이 우리사회에 요구되고 있다. 본 연구는 유해물질 위험평가시스템 구축을 위한 기반을 제공하기 위해 지난 10년동안 유해물질 관련시설에서 발생한 사고사례들을 연구의 대상으로 하여 유해물질 시설사고의 특성을 빈도분석, 교차분석 등의 통계기법을 적용하여 분석하였다. 분석결과 사고시설 유형과 연도, 계절, 발생지역, 사망자 발생간 관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Hydraulic excavators are the representative of field robot and have been used in various fields of construction. Since the excavator operates in the hazardous working environment, operators of excavator are exposed in harmful environment. Therefore, the hydraulic excavator automation and remote operation system has been investigated to protect from the hazardous working environment. In this paper, remote operation excavator system is developed using the mini hydraulic excavator and the tracking control system of each links of excavator is designed. To apply the tracking control system, the adaptive sliding mode control algorithm is proposed. It is found that the performance of the proposed control system is improved through experimental results of using the remote operation excavator system.

In many cases, rescue robots work under harsh conditions such as the presence of various obstacles, high temperature, and limited visibility, etc. These robots are required to have tough mechanical structure, good sensing and control capability, and reliable communication capability for receiving operator's command and sending information on the state of the robot and environment. In this study, a rescue robot that can investigate hazardous or disastrous sites with these capabilities is designed and implemented. The performance of the proposed rescue robot is tested under simulated disastrous environment.

산업의 발달 및 도시화의 증가로 인해 위험물질을 포함한 물류 수송량은 날로 증가하는 추세이고 위험물질 수송차량들의 사고발생 위험도 따라서 증대되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 위험물 운송이 점차 증가하고 있는 철도수송에 있어 기존 선행 연구의 피해규모 분석모형을 적용하고, 위험물 물류 표준화 연구에서 정의된 물질별 사고노출량을 기준으로 하여 위험물 물질별 인구 및 환경 노출규모를 GIS(Geographic Information System)의 버퍼링 분석 기 법을 통하여 일반적으로 분석이 어려운 피해규모산정을 자동으로 도출하는 방안을 제시하였다. 각 링크별 인구 및 노출규모 산출 모형을 적용하기 위해서는 Network(철도망), Zone(행정구역), 철도사고 Data, 철도화물 통행량, 하천 및 강 등을 GIS Database로 구축하였고, 최종적으로 Buffering 분석과 함께, 중첩분석의 Clip 기법과 Special Join 기법을 함께 사용하여 본연구의 제시한 위험물 물질별 피해규모 자동 추출 방안을 제시해 보았다.

This study aimed to inventory the water pollutant discharge of wastewater from two facilities, one primary steel manufacturing facility and one petroleum refinery, both of which are located in Korea, and to identify ways to improve the wastewater treatment process through field investigation. Probability evaluation was used to inventory the substances in polluted water. The samples collected in this study included original wastewater, on processing wastewater, and treated water. The general description of wastewater occurrence, major sources, and treatment facilities were also investigated to obtain an integrated database of the pollutants created by different industrial categories. Based on our analysis of raw wastewater and final effluent, the detected pollutants were confirmed by analyzing their presence in the raw or supplemental materials, the potential of formation as byproducts, and the possibility of inclusion as impurities. The compounds detected for each category were screened via investigation of their possible sources and confirmed as the final water pollutant inventories. Thirty kinds of water pollutants were emitted by the primary steel manufacturing facility (reference in case A), including 14 specified hazardous water pollutants. The petroleum refinery (reference in case B) emitted 36 water pollutants, including 16 specified hazardous water pollutants.

Ministry of Environment developed ‘Emergency Response Information System (ERIS)’ in 2001, which is in operation. As a next step, currently National Emergency Response Information System (NERIS) is being developed. The main difference among ERIS and NERIS is to enhance the system in the national level, including transportation of hazardous materials. This paper introduces concepts and methods applied to NERIS, especially HAZMAT, and the information system, operating strategies. Based on GIS and transportation-network data, the best route can be offered using Risk Analysis. Strategies for reporting and first-response information systems are also designed for emergencies in the paper.

Hazardous air pollutants emitted from the oil refinery plant were surveyed from 1993 US and 2005 Korean TRI data. Toluene, xylene, methanol, MTBE and n-hexane, relatively large in amount of fugitive emission, are considered as candidates of newly designated HAPs in Korea. The sealed oil pump, one of equipments among fugitive sources in the crude oil distillation tower was examined for the estimation of amounts of annual HAPs emissions according to several calculation methods using registered emission factors. Emission rates showed to be decreased with following calculation factors; average emission factor>pegged emission factor>concentration emission factor>correlation equation. Annual emission amounts of benzene, toluene, xylene. ethyl benzene and nhexane from the distillation tower were estimated and amounts of these HAPs calculated with TVOC concentrations obtained from LDAR program and correlation equations showed only 6% of those from using concentration factors.

Recently, because of the worse of the air pollution, the excessive airtught of building and the inferiority of air conditioning system, the development of high efficiency air purification technology was enlarged to the environmental improvement of an indoor or a harmful working condition. The air purification technology has used chemical filters or charcoal filters or charcoal to remove hazardouse gaseous pollutants (SO$_{x}$, NO$_{x}$, NH$_{3}$, etc.) by air pollutant control technology, but they have many problems of high pressure loss, short life, wide space possession, and treatment of secondary wastes. For these reason, the object of reasearch shall be hazardous gaseous pollutants removal by the surface discharge induced plasma chemical process that is A.C. discharge of multistreams applied A.C. voltage and frequency between plane induced eletrode and line discharge eletrode of tungsten, platinum or titanium with a high purified alumina sheet having a film-like plane. As a result, the control performance for hazardous gaseous pollutants showed very high efficiency in the normal temperature and pressure. Also, after comtact oxidation decomposition of harmful gaseous pollutants, the remainded ozone concentration was found much lower than that of ACGIH or air pollution criteria in Korea.rea.

In the industrial field, various type of fuel have been used for product processing facilities. Recent for 10 years, the usage of natural gas (NG) was gradually increased. Because it has many merits; clean fuel, no transportation, storage facility and so on. There are common safety concept that strict explosion protection approaches are needed for facilities where explosive materials such as flammable liquid, vapor and gases exist. But some has an optimistic point of view that the lighter than air gases such as NG disperse rapidly, hence do not form explosion environment upon release into the atmosphere, many parts has a conventional safety point of view that those gases are also inflammable gases, hence can form explosion environment although the extent is limited and present. In this paper, the heating equipments (Hot Oil Heater) was reviewed and some risk management measures were proposed. These measures include hazardous area classification and explosion-proof provisions of electric apparatus, an early gas leak detection and isolation, ventilation system reliability, emergency response plan and training and so on. This study calculates Hazardous Area Classification using the hypothetical volume in the KS C IEC code.
