Laboratory-scale experiments were conducted to assess the effect of oxidative decomposition of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in field soil using peroxy-acid. The study soil texture is sandy soil containing 19.2 % of organic matter at pH 6.8. Among polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the study soil, the concentration of benzo(a)pyrene is 2.23 mg/kg which is three times higherthan the Korea standard level. Therefore benzo(a)pyrene was selected as the target study PAH for the treatment by peroxy-acid oxidation using peroxy-acid coupled with hydrogen peroxide, and the efficiency of the oxidative decomposition of benzo(a)pyrene was assessed for the different organic acids and dosages of an organic acid and hydrogen peroxide. Propionic acid among the tested organic acids showed the highest efficiency of benzo(a)pyrene reduction in the peroxyacid oxidation treatment and finally satisfied the Korea standard level.

Though polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon compounds (PAHs) in marine sediment has been produced by many colleges and institution in Korea, it is difficult to compare PAHs data in a study area with those in other areas due to the lack of confidence for the quality of data from the other organization. Therefore, we suggested the protocol for PAHs analysis in marine sediment through examining the method of PAHs analysis described in over twenty scientific papers and reports. When a known amount of 23 PAHs were spiked into a sediment and anlyzed following this new protocol, very good recoveries were obtained. In addition, for college and institution with their own method to analyze PAHs can keep producing PAHs data without exchanging to this new PAHs protocol, the method to get a full confidence through the QA/QC for the PAHs data produced by these organization is included to the protocol.

대기 중 다환 방향족 탄화수소(Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons)는 주로 화석연료 등과 같은 유기물의 불완전 연소과정에서 발생하며, PAHs 화합물들 중 일부는 강한 발암성 혹은 돌연변이원성을 가지고 있는 것으로 알려져 있을 뿐만 아니라, 실내와 실외의 대기 환경 어디에나 널리 분포되어 있을 가능성이 높으므로 다른 물질들에 비해 더 많은 연구와 관심의 대상이 되어 왔다. (IRAC, 1983 ; WHO, 1987). 일반적으로 PAHs는 대부분 부유물질에 흡착되어 있지만, 분자량이 작은2~3개의 벤젠링을 가지고 있는 것들은 가스 상태로 존재하는 것으로 알려져 있다. (중략)

The fate and behavior of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs) and heavy metals in the environment are mainly controlled by their interactions with various components of soils and sediments. Due to their large surface area and abundance in many soils, smectites may greatly influence the fate and transport of the contaminants. In our experiment, PAH sorption by hexadecyltimethylammonium(HDTMA)-modified smectite linearly increased in proportion to the amount of HDTMA added on the clay. However, trimethylammonium(TMA)-modified smectite did not show superiority in its sorption of PAH compared with the HDTMA-smectite or dodecyltrimethylammonium(DTMA)- smectite. Meanwhile, the smectites modified with the same cationic surfactants adsorbed Cd$^{2＋}$(heavy metal) significantly from water at low surfactant loading level, but the Cd$^{2＋}$ adsorption linearly decreased as the loading of surfactant increased. The result shows that the sorption tendency of organoclays for organic or inorganic contaminants was significantly influenced by the amount and size of the surfactants added on the clay. This reveals that the stabilization and configuration of cationic surfactant formed on the clay interlayer of different sizes may be an important factor in controlling the sorptive capacity of each pollutant in the environment.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(다환방향족 탄화수소류: 이하 PAHs)는 여러 가지 오염원에서 배출되어 환경계에서 이동하는 중요한 화합물질 그룹중의 하나이다. 대부분의 PAHs는 발암물질이라고 의심이 가는 물질로써 여러 가지 형태의 배열로 연결되어 있는 두개 혹은 그 이상의 방향족 고리로 구성되어 있다 PAHs의 대기에서의 침적은 가스상과 입자상 물질의 비나 눈에 의한 제거, 입자상 물질의 건식침적 및 가스상 물질의 대기-수체간 교환에 의하여 이루어진다. (중략)

Effect of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) on the community structure of indigenous microorganisms in Gwangyang Bay sediments was investigated in Mar. & Aug.,2000. Microbial community structure was analyzed using 5'-terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) method. Microbial community structure based on T-RFLP method revealed that community differentiated by sampling period except station 1 located near the stream discharge site from Yeosu Industrial Complex. Even, microbial diversity was higher at stations showed relatively high concentrations of PAHs. The microbial community structure was severely changed during the enrichment culture with 1,000 ppm of PAHs mixture. It was also different between cultivated at 8$^{\circ}C$ and 30$^{\circ}C$. The results implied that temperature, poyosity, organic content and etc were more responsible than PAHs on the microbial community structure.
