Environmental pollution from abandoned metal mines has been awarded as serious problem and many techniques have been applied to remediate pollutants. Main objective of this research was to evaluate efficiency of heavy metal sorption capacity of spent mushroom media (SMM) in aqueous and soil matrix. Laboratory batch experiment was conducted and 4 different heavy metals (Cd, Pb, Cu, Zn) were evaluated. In aqueous phase, all 4 heavy metals showed high reduction efficiency ranged from 60-99% and Pb showed the highest sorption efficiency. In case of soil phase, much lower sorption efficiency was observed compared to aqueous phase. The highest reduction efficiency was observed in Cd (average of 38%). With scanning electron microscopy energy dispersive detector (SED-EDS) analysis, we confirmed sorption of heavy metals at the surface of SMM. Overall, SMM can be used as sorption materials for heavy metals in both aqueous and soil matrix and more research should be conducted to increase sorption efficiency of SMM in soil.

In recent years, national and local government's air quality management and climate change adaptation policy has been significantly strengthened. The measures in the two policies may be in a relationship of trade-off or synergy to each other. Greenhouse gases and air pollutants are mostly emitted from the same sources of using considerable amounts of fossil fuels. Co-benefits, in which either measure has a positive effect on the other, may be maximized by reducing the social costs and by consolidating the objectives of the various policies. In this study, the co-benefits were examined by empirically analyzing the effects of air pollutants and greenhouse gas emission reduction, social cost, and cost effectiveness between the two policies. Of the total 80 projects, the next 12 projects generated co-benefits. They are 1) extend restriction area of solid fuel use, 2) expand subsidy of low-$NO_x$ burner, 3) supply hybrid-vehicles, 4) supply electric-vehicles, 5) supply hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, 6) engine retrofit, 7) scrappage of old car, 8) low emission zone, 9) transportation demand management, 10) supply land-based electric of ship, 11) switching anthracite to clean fuel in private sector, 12) expand regional combined-energy supply. The benefits of air pollutants and greenhouse gas-related measures were an annual average of KRW 2,705.4 billion. The social benefits of the transportation demand management were the highest at an annual average of KRW 890.7 billion, and followed by scrappage of old cars and expand regional combined-energy supply. When the social benefits and the annual investment budgets are compared, the cost effectiveness ratio is estimated to be about 3.8. Overall, the reduction of air pollutants caused by the air quality management policy of Gyeonggi-do resulted in an annual average of KRW 4,790.2 billion. In the point sources management sector, the added value of $CO_2$ reduction increased by 4.8% to KRW 1,062.8 billion, while the mobile sources management sector increased by 3.6% to KRW 3,414.1 billion. If social benefits from $CO_2$ reduction are added, the annual average will increase by 7.2% to KRW 5,135.4 billion. The urban and energy management sectors have shown that social benefits increase more than twice as much as the benefits of $CO_2$ reduction. This result implies that more intensive promotion of these measures are needed. This study has significance in that it presents the results of the empirical analysis of the co-benefits generated between the similar policies in the air quality management and the climate change policy which are currently being promoted in Gyeonggi-do. This study suggested that the method of analyzing the policy effect among the main policies in the climate atmospheric policy is established and the effectiveness and priority of the major policies can be evaluated through the policy correlation analysis based on the co-benefits. It is expected that it could be a basis for evaluation the efficiency of the climate change adaptation and air quality management policies implemented by the national and local governments in the future.

Application of bioretention systems in Korea is highly considered due to its minimal space requirements, appropriateness as small landscape areas and good pollutant removal and peak hydraulic flow reduction efficiency. In this study, the efficiency of two lab-scale bioretention types having different physical properties, media configuration and planted with different shrubs and perennials was investigated in reducing heavy metal pollutants in stormwater runoff. Type A bioretention systems were planted with shrubs whereas type B were planted with perennials. Chrysanthemum zawadskii var. latilobum (A-CL) and Aquilegia flabellata var. pumila (A-AP) respectively were planted in each type A bioretention reactors while Rhododendron indicum linnaeus (B-RL) and Spiraea japonica (B-SJ), respectively were planted in each type B bioretention reactors. Results revealed that the four lab-scale bioretention reactors significantly reduced the influent total suspended load by about 89 to 94% (p<0.01). Type B-RL and B-SJ reactors reduced soluble Cr, Cu, Zn, and Pb by 28 to 45% that were 15 to 35% greater than the soluble metal reduction of type A-CL and A-AP reactors, respectively. Among the pollutants, total Cr attained the greatest discharged fraction of 0.52-0.81. Excluding the effect of soil media, total Pb attained the greatest retention fraction in the bioretention systems amounting to 0.15-0.34. Considering the least discharge fraction of heavy metal in the bioretention system, it was observed that the bioretention systems achieved effectual reduction in terms of total Cu, Zn and Pb. These findings were associated with the poor adsorption capacity of the soil used in each bioretention system. The results of this study may be used for estimating the maintenance requirements of bioretention systems.

축산 지역 하류에 위치한 농업용 저수지의 강우시 유입, 유출수 분석을 통해 축산지역의 강우 유출 특성과 저류지에 의한 축산계 비점 오염물질의 저류형 시설에 의한 유출 저감 효율을 분석하였다. 급경사지에 위치한 한우 축산 지역의 비점 오염물질 유출은 주로 초기세척현상에 의해 발생됨을 알 수 있었으며 강우시의 유입수 농도는 비강우시에 비해 SS농도가 가장 높게 발생하고 있으며 T-P도 4배 이상 증가하는 양상을 보인다. 반면 총질소는 평균 30% 증가하는 것으로 나타나는데 질소항목으로 보면 질산성 질소는 거의 변화가 없는 반면에 암모니아성 질소가 2배 이상 증가하고 있다. 저류형 비점 제거시설 효율 분석 결과 비강우시 총인 제거효율이 53%로 가장 높고 부유물질은 37% 제거되고 있다. 유기물질은 10% 내외, 총질소는 5% 이내로 제거되며 부영양화로 녹조가 번성하는 하절기에는 오히려 유출수의 질소농도가 더 높아지는 경우도 빈번히 발생하고 있다. 강우시의 유입수 농도는 비강우시에 비해 SS농도가 가장 높게 발생하고 있으며 T-P도 4배 이상 증가하는 양상을 보인다. 강우시 부유물질의 제거효율은 60%로 나타나고 있으며 총인은 22% 제거되어 비강우시에 비해 제거효율은 감소하고 있다. 환경부의 비점제거시설 기준보다 9배 이상의 용량을 지니고 있지만 비점 전용 시설로 활용되지 못하는 탓에 장마철에 거의 만수 상태로 담수하여 비점제거 효율에 있어서는 충분한 효과를 보이지 못하고 있는 것으로 나타나 저수지의 용량 뿐 아니라 수문관리 등 유지관리도 비점 제거효율에 영향을 미치는 중요 인자로 분석되었다.

비점오염원은 도시, 도로, 농지, 산지, 공사장 등 불특정장소에서 불특정하게 수계에 오염물질을 배출하는 배출원으로, 오염물질의 유출경로가 명확하게 구분되지 않는다. 또한 수집이 어렵고 배출량이 강수량 등 기상조건에 크게 좌우되기 때문에 저감시설의 설계 및 유지관리가 어려운 측면이 있다. 한국의 경우 2006년 이후 비점오염원 처리에 대한 중요성이 심화되어 설치의무는 강화되고 있으나, 설치기준 및 효율에 대한 명확한 기준이 제시되지 못하여 단순히 저렴하며 유지관리가 필요치 않은 처리기술을 선호하고 있는 실정이었다. 본 연구는 발포고분자여재(Expended Polypropylene Media, EPP)를 이용한 여과형 비점오염원 저감시설에 대하여 처리능과 역세척에 의한 처리능의 유지에 대한 연구를 진행하였다. 여재층 높이가 증가할수록 처리효율의 변화폭은 줄었으며, 처리효율은 상승하는 것으로 나타났다. 60 cm의 여재층 높이에서 10 m/hr의 선속도의 경우 평균 처리효율은 94%로 나타났으며, 20 m/hr의 선속도의 경우 평균 처리효율이 90%로 나타났다. 여과 선속도 10 m/hr와 20 m/hr에서 180분 동안 운전 결과, 손실수두의 변화는 여재층 높이에 따른 차이가 조금 다른 양상으로 나타났다. 총 3회 반복한 역세척 실험 동안 여과시간이 경과함에 따라 처리효율은 여재가 폐색됨에 따라 감소하는 경향을 나타났다. 그러나 역세척 과정 이후에는 이전 여과과정의 초기 시점의 처리효율과 거의 유사하게 회복하는 것으로 확인하였다.

Automotive manufacturers are applying technologies for greenhouse gas reduction such as vehicle weight reduction, engine downsizing, direct injection technology, variable valves and transmission performance improvement to achieve the targets for enhanced greenhouse gas and fuel consumption efficiency. In this paper, compared and analyzed greenhouse emissions according to engine capacity, engine displacement, curb weight and sales volume of hybrid and internal combustion engine passenger vehicles. Hybrid emit 32~39% less greenhouse gas than internal combustion engines through the combined mode test method. Hybrid electric vehicle's curb weight was about 7% heavier on average for the same engine displacement, while greenhouse gas was about 36% lower. It was confirmed that in order to reduce the emission of pollutants of greenhouse gases as well as the air pollutants, it is necessary to expand the supply of eco-friendly vehicles.

Storage method is one of major measures for reduction of CSOs pollutant loads and several projects have been done nationwide. But systematic analysis of intercepting capacity has not been studied to determine optimum size of storage facility. In this research, not only storage volume but also intercepting capacity which means flow capacity from intercepting facility to CSOs storage facility was studied and optimum sizing method for storage facility was proposed. The result shows that pollutants reduction efficiency can be increased significantly by increasing intercepting capacity and it might reduce storage volume and total construction costs. Intercepting capacity for the study area was evaluated and it was shown as equivalent to 83 % probability rainfall intensity.

With the significant growth of the number of vehicles environmental problems is raised. NOx SOx, and PM emissions in diesel powered vehicles are larger than that in gasoline because the development of pollutants reduction techniques has not been yet achieved. So it is need to develop after-tratment or to convert into alternative fuel to satisfy emission regula-tion. Among the after-treatment systems to reduce the diesel emissions studies with diesel oxidation catalyst(DOC) are done greatly. In this study using DOC reduction efficiency with the change of temperature and catalyst loading was calculated through measurements of CO, HC, PM. and SOX.

Changes in land uses at urbanizing areas are causing flooding, increase in NPS pollutants. Thus, Low Impact Development (LID) concept is now being employed in urban planning for sustainable development. Compared with the conventional BMPs, the LID is a new concept in urban planning to minimize the impacts of urbanization for site-specific LID IMPs. The objective of this study is to analyze the efficiency of LID adoption in study watershed in peak rate runoff and runoff volume reduction perspectives. The analysis revealed that the peak rate runoff and runoff volume decreased significantly with the LID adoption. This indicates that the Bimodal tram route with grass installed at the center of the road will contribute reduction in surface runoff and peak rate runoff, and also in NPS pollutant generation from the Bimodal tram route.
