Results from study on physiological responses to $SO_2$ of Quercus spp. selected for restoration of vegetation damaged by air pollution in the field study were as follows. Tolerance of Quercus aliena, Q. acutissima and Q. mongolica used in this study to $SO_2$ was higher in that order and tolerance of these plants to $SO_2$ was high comparatively among trees composing of major forest vegetation of Korea including natural forests and plantations. Stomatal resistance of these plants was increased after exposure to $SO_2$ and range of increase was different among species. From discrepancy between order of tolerance to $SO_2$ and range of increase in stomatal resistance, we were estimated that resistance mechanisms of Quercus spp. were different among species as mechanism originated in avoidance and resistance, respectively. Water potential of plant leaves reduced after exposure to $SO_2$, degree of reduction accorded with order of tolerance to $SO_2$. Reduction of water potential of plants after exposure to $SO_2$ was initiated before appearance of visible damage in plant leaves and water potential of plants exposed to $SO_2$ of low concentration, in which plants were not showed viaible damage was also reduced.

It is more likely that the degree of air quality degradation that we have faced would be much lessen, if integrated management of air pollution control and assessment had been fully enforced by the local administrations, not by the centralized environmental agency in the first place. As the selfgoverning local administrations have been established since 1995, the need for air quality control by the local administration or local agency is getting the ground. However, in practice, air quality control by the local administration rarely put into effect due to lack of basic data which cover the present trends of air quality in each local city or county and are necessary for decision making. The emissions of SO$_2$ in each city and county of Korea in 1993 were calculated in this study, based on energy consumptions and emission factors. The ambient concentrations of SO$_2$ also were estimated by applying modified Miller-Holtzworth model. Observed and estimated concentrations of SO$_2$ showed that about 17.5 percents of cities and counties in the country were more polluted than the target value, 20ppb/year. The emissions and ambient concentrations of SO$_2$ in each city and county in 2000, 2005, and 2010 were also forecasted, assumed business as usual senario. It was shown that, in 2010, the emissions of SO$_2$ will be 2.8 times more than those of 1993 and much of them are from industrial sector. Also shown that 38.3 percents of cities and counties will be more polluted than the target value and most of them are polluted areas in 1993. The methods and results of this study could be used in developing the efficient reduction strategies in each city and county.

The pollution characteristics of groundwaters in Taegu City and correlation coefficients(r) between water pollution indicators were investigated for two years from January 1996 to December 1997. Volatile organic compounds such as TCE(tri-chloroethylene), PCE(tetrachloroethylene), l,l,l-trichloroethane, THM(trihalo-methane), dichloromethane, pesticides such as diazinon, parathion, malathion, and toxic inoganic matters such as As, Hg, Se, Pb, Cd, $Cr_6^+,$ CN were not detected in the groundwaters. Mean values of groundwater pollution indicators were below drinking-water standards, but hardness, $KMnO_4-C(potassium$ permanganate consumption), evaporate residues, $SO_4^{-2},\;Fe,\;NO_3^{-}-N,$ color and turbidity exceeded a little in some samples. As groundwater became deeper, hardness and evaporate residues remarkably increased, but $KMnO_4-C,\;NO_3^{-}-N,\;Cl-,$ color, turbity and bacteria decreased. $KMnO_4-C,$ evaporate residues, $Cl^-\;and\;SO_4^{-2}$ were very high at industrial and commercial areas, and $NO_3^--N$ and $NH_4^+-N$ were very high at agricultural and forest areas. It showed high positive significances in the relationships between hardness and each of evaporate residues, $SO_4^{-2}$, Zn and Mn, $KMnO_4-C$ and each of color, turbidity and Zn, color and each of turbidity, Cu, Zn and Mn, turbidity and each of Fe, Cu, Zn and Mn, and evaporate residues and each of $Cl^-,\;SO_4^{-2}$ and Zn.

China is suffering from severe air pollution especially fine $PM_{2.5}$ pollution. In 2015, the annual average $PM_{2.5}$ concentration of the 338 municipal cities was $50{\mu}g/m^3$, 78% cities at or above the prefectural level failed to comply with the $PM_{2.5}$ concentration standards. The $13^{th}$ Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development set the goal that the annual average concentration of $PM_{2.5}$ in the municipal cities which failed to attain the ambient air quality standards shall be decreased by 18% by 2020 (CCCPC, 2016). In this study, an air pollution control scenario during the $13^{th}$ Five-Year Plan period was proposed and the $SO_2$, $NO_x$ and PM emission reductions in response to different measures in 31 provincial-level regions mainland China by 2020 were estimated. The air quality in the target year (2020) was simulated using the WRF-CMAQ model. The results showed that by 2020, the emissions of $SO_2$, $NO_x$ and primary PM in mainland China will be reduced by 4.19 million tons, 3.94 million tons and 4.41 million tons, a drop of 23%, 21% and 25% respectively compared with that in 2015, and the annual average concentration of $PM_{2.5}$ will decrease by 19%. Coal-fired power plant contributes the most pollutant emission reduction.

The International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ship, 1973, as modified by the Proto-col of 1978 relating thereto, well known as MARPOL 73/78, is probably the most important international agreement on the subject of marine pollution. The main purpose of the Convention is to reduce the total oil remaining on board vessel to minimum. MARPOL is a combination of different sets of rules on oil, chemicals, noxious substances in package forms, sewage and garbage as shown on each Annex. Since the Convention has globally set forth in 1973, it has amended so often whenever reasonable articles are requi-red by contracting states under guidelines of IMO. The amendments, for instance, have continuously perfo-rmed more than 8 times regarding articles, protocols, and five annexes because the original text was badly drafted as the control measures were expressed in general way. This paper, therefore, is intend to summa-rize a main point relating to each amendment, so that persons who have an interest in the Convention would be completely understand for practical implementation. Especially, for legislative purpose or annen-dement of domestic law, it could timely be contributable if specific consolidation and unified interpretations are followed with this paper. Consequently it is much more worth to study for preventing marine pollution from ship with tracing every moment whenever the Convention formally adopted through amending up-to-data.

Recently as people's values are changing from development phase into running stage after quality of life, so that the needs of environmentally friendly construction are gradually increasing. Also populace discontent about the pollution during construction process such as the noise and vibration caused by construction machinery is increasing. Even though it is impossible to eliminate the construction pollution fully, it is necessary to make efforts to reduce construction pollution to a minimum. In terms of construction site operating, the first possible step for solving these matters directly is that the necessary sum of expenses must be secured as the environmental management costs in the conceptual phase. However, in fact, the environmental management costs have not been secured in the budget. Generally it is the major reason not arising proper activities to prevent the pollution in the construction site. The purpose of this research is to suggest the efficient budgeting method regarding Environmental management costs to ensure the necessary sum of environmental management expenses. To provide an efficient budgeting method, interviews with the person in charge of environment management was conducted. 78 construction sites was surveyed and environmental management costs were analyzed through their historical data from the survey. According to the results of analysis, the ratio of environmental management costs is revealed 0.45% of construction cost as average comparing 0.2% of legal limit. And usually the environmental management cost was appropriated into the safety management budget. So it is needed to isolate environmental management budget securely and modify the ratio of Environmental conservation Costs in Construction Technology Management Act.

이 연구는 오염원이 산재해 있는 농촌지역으로 아산지역을, 그리고 공업단지와 주거지역이 위치한 공단지역으로 구로구지역을 연구대상지역으로 선정하여 공단지역과 농촌지역 지하수의 물리.화학적 특성과 오염 양상을 조사하였다. 또한 지하수의 효율적인 이용과 적절한 관리를 위해 지리정보시스템을 구축하고 이를 이용하여 지하수오염과 잠재점오염원의 공간적인 관련성을 규명하였다. 아산지역 지하수는 Ca-HCO$_3$유형의 지하수이며 SiO$_2$와 HCO$_3$함량비가 높은 특징을 보여 물-암석 반응이 지하수 성분을 지배하는 가장 큰 요인임을 보여준다. 구로구지역 지하수는 Ca-HCO$_3$유형의 지하수이며 Cl, NO$_3$및 SO$_4$등 오염물질이 부화되고 SiO$_2$에 비해 Ca 함량비가 더 높게 나타나는 등 다양한 오염원에 의한 영향을 반영하고있다. 아산지역에서는 37.5%(총 40개 중 15개)의 지하수 시료에서 NO$_3$,SO$_4$및 Zn의 함량이 먹는 물 수질 기준을 초과하는 오염현상이 조사되었으며, 대부분이 NO$_3$의 오염이었다. 축산농가 및 공장에 대해 오염영향범위를 조사하기 위해 버퍼링 분석을 실시한 결과 l00 m 거리에 걸쳐 오염의 영향이 미치고 있어 공장 및 축산농가가 지하수 오염의 직접적인 원인임을 확인하였다. 구로구지역에서는 64.7%(총 51개 중 33개)의 지하수 시료에서 NO$_3$, Cl, SO$_4$, Fe 및 Zn의 함량이 음용수 수질기준을 초과하는 오염현상이 확인되었다. NO$_3$오염은 50 m 이상의 심부지하수에서도 관찰되어 이미 심각한 오염현상이 진행되었음을 보여주었다. Cl 오염은 구로동 지역의 50 m 이하 천부지하수에서 관찰되었으나 구로동의 구로공단지역에서는 먹는 물 수질기준 이하의 낮은 함량을 보였다. 구로동지역은 70%, 고척동지역은 42%, 궁동지역은 14%의 지하수 시료에서 오염물질이 먹는 물 수질기준을 초과하는 오염현상이 조사되었다.
