인류가 산업발전 등으로 인해 석유등 화석연료를 사용함에 따라 대기오염은 날로 악화되어 1952년 런던스모그 같은 참사를 맞이하였고 이에 각국은 이러한 대기 오염물질을 저감하기 위하여 노력한 결과 대기 오염물질은 낮아지고 있으나 이에 반해 이산화탄소 배출량 증가에 따른 지구 온난화 현상과 오존층 파괴는 지역적인 환경문제에서 번세계적인 환경문제로 확산 전개되고 있다. 특히 산업혁명후 화석연료의 급격한 사용증가로 인한 이산화탄소 배출량 증가는 지구를 온나화시키고 수십년 후에는 환경에 심각한 영향을 주게 되는 것은 의심할 여지가 없는 것으로 이는 지구환경문제 중에서 금회 최대의 과제로 대두되게 되었다. 이에 따라 1985년 UNEP 관리 이사회를 필두로 "지구환경보전에 관한 동경회의", "대기오염 및 기후변동에 관한 노드윅 회의", "백악관회의", "휴스톤 Summit" 등에서 이 문제가 거론되기 시작하여 '90. 8월에는 스웨덴에서 온난화에 대한 과학적 인식과 대책의 메카니즘을 정하기 위한 IPCC 4차 회의가 각국 대표들이 참석한 가운데 정치, 경제, 과학의 문제로 등장하여 우리생활의 근본을 좌우할 다각적인 논의가 진행된 바 있다. 또한 미국, 영국, 일본 등 선진국들의 정상이 모이는 G7 회담 등에서 논의되고 있는 것들 중 정치적인 문제를 제외하고는 환경문제를 가장 많이 다룬다는 외신보도를 우리는 여러번 접한바 있다. 현재 국제적 환경문제로 가장 관심이 집중되고 있는 문제 중 몇가지를 소개하면 우선 <몬트리올의 정서에 의한 오존층 보호>를 들 수 있겠고, 최근 국제 협약 제정을 추진하고 있는 "지구온난화 방지에 관한 기후협약" 그리고 유해폐기물의 국제교역에 관한 "바젤협약"과 함께 새로이 제기된 "생물학적 다양성 협약"등이 거론되고 있으며, 이에 덧붙여 미국의 "자동차배출가스 규제"도 우리나라 산업에 큰 영향을 미칠 것으로 판단된다. 본 논문은 이중 대기와 관련된 오존층 보호와 지구온난화 대책에 대한 국제회의 등에서 현재까지 논의되었거나 토의될 내용에 대하여 기술하고 특히 금년부터 집중적으로 국제협상이 진행될 지구온난화 문제에 대한 최근의 국제동향 우리나라의 입장을 기술하고자 한다.

$SF_6$ gas는 반도체 및 디스플레이 제조공정 중 Dry etch과정에서 널리 사용되는 gas로 자연적으로 존재하는 것이 아닌 사용 목적에 맞춰 인위적으로 제조된 gas이다. 디스플레이 산업에서 $SF_6$ gas가 사용되는 Dry etch 공정은 주로 ${\alpha}$-Si, $Si_3N_4$ 등 Si계열의 박막을 etch하는데 사용된다. 이러한 Si 계열의 박막을 식각하기 위해서는 fluorine, Chlorine 등이 사용된다. fluorine계열의 gas로는 $SF_6$ gas가 대표적이다. 하지만 $SF_6$ gas는 대표적인 온실가스로 지구 온난화의 주범으로 주목받고 있다. 세계적으로 온실가스의 규제에 대한 움직임이 활발하고, 대한민국은 2020년까지 온실가스 감축목표를 '배출전망치(BAU)대비 30% 감축으로' 발표하였다. 따라서 디스플레이 및 반도체 공정에는 GWP (Global warming Potential)에 적용 가능한 대체 가스의 연구가 필요한 상황이다. 온실가스인 $SF_6$를 대체하기 위한 방법으로 GWP가 낮은 $C_3F_6$가스를 이용하여 $Si_3N_4$를 Dry etching 방법인 RIE (Reactive Ion Etching)공정을 한 후 배출되는 가스를 측정하였다. 4인치 P-type 웨이퍼 위에 PECVD (Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition)장비를 이용하여 $Si_3N_4$를 200 nm 증착하였고, Photolithography공정을 통해 Patterning을 한 후 RIE공정을 수행하였다. RIE는 Power : 300 W, Flow rate : 30 sccm, Time : 15 min, Temperature : $15^{\circ}C$, Pressure : Open과 같은 조건으로 공정을 수행하였다. 그리고 SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope)장비를 이용하여 Etching된 단면을 관찰하여 단차를 확인하였다. 또한 Etching 전후 배출가스를 포집하여 GC-MS (Gas Chromatograph-Mass Spectrophotometry)를 측정 및 비교하였다. Etching 전의 경우에는 $N_2$, $O_2$ 등의 가스가 검출되었고, $C_3F_6$ 가스를 이용해 etching 한 후의 경우에는 $C_3F_6$ 계열의 가스가 검출되었다.

This paper constructs the two-part tax-a combined form of output tax and entrance fee-for polluting oligopolists under endogenous entry. In the presence of external damage that varies exogenously with aggregate output, we show that the two-part tax produces the ex post Pigouvian rule and thus achieves the first-best optimum. We also examine a detailed analysis of the impact of the two-part tax on social welfare and government revenues. Finally, when estimation errors exist in the process of regulation, we identify the incentive conflicts between interest groups and analyze the effects of estimation errors on determining optimal tax. In particular, we show that if the regulator takes care of both welfare loss and revenue gain under the proposed two-part tax, not only over-estimation on the slope of external damage but also under-estimation on the slope of market demand should be taken into the policy consideration.

Sulfur hexafloride($SF_6$) emission to atmosphere is lower than $CO_2$, but $SF_6$ GWP is 22,800 times lager than $CO_2$. In recent years as restriction of $non-CO_2$ gas has been greatly reinforced, development of environment-friendly technology with $SF_6$ removal is becoming to main issue. This study shows that $SF_6$ used insulator electrical equipment has emission characteristics during the each phase(maintenance, use, diposal), and analyzed $SF_6$ emission reduction technology related phase. The major technology applies maintenance and disposal step is that improvment of gas recovery rate($85{\rightarrow}99%$), manufacturing catalysts, internal inspection of circuit breaker using endoscopy. Using those technolgies can reduce $SF_6$ emission in atmosphere.

Regulations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from ships are gradually being strengthened. EEXI (Energy Efficiency Existing Index) has been introduced in existing ships, and various studies are aimed at achieving the greenhouse gas emission reduction target are currently underway. In this study, we proposed a method to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through reducing fuel oil consumption by applying a solar power generation system to a pure and truck carrier among existing ships engaged in international voyages. The proposed photovoltaic power generation system consists of a photovoltaic module, an energy storage system, and a power conversion device. To confirm applicability, the system was modeled through a power electronics program, and a simulation was performed. In addition, economic analysis was conducted to check the feasibility of application to real ships, and it was confirmed that significant results were derived in the economical aspect after about 11 years had elapsed.

하천 및 호소수역에 대한 수질오염원이 지속적으로 증가하는 경우에는 일반적인 농도규제 방식으로는 수질개선에 한계가 나타난다. 이를 해결하기 위해 목표 수질 한도 내에서 유역 배출원의 오염물질총량 관리를 목적으로 하는 수질오염총량관리제 개념이 도입되어 단위유역 지자체별 배출부하량을 관리하고 있지만, 지역의 오염원 배출 특성을 고려하지 않은 저감계획은 오히려 유역 내 새로운 오염원으로 전락하여 수질 개선 효과가 나타나지 않을 수 있다. 따라서 효율적인 총량 관리를 위해서는 수계 내 오염원 파악이 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 수질오염총량제 대상 하천인 굴포천의 수질 오염원 분석을 위해 2016년, 2017년 굴포천 유역 토지이용 자료를 활용하여 수질항목과의 상관성을 파악하고 2016년부터 2020년까지 최근 5년 동안 총량측정망을 통해 측정된 유량 및 수질 자료를 이용해 상류, 중류, 하류 각각의 유량-부하량 관계식을 도출하여 지점별 수질 오염원 특성을 분석하였다. 상관분석 결과, 강우 시 밭과 BOD, SS, T-P는 양의 상관성을 보였고, T-N은 강우, 비 강우 시 관계없이 밭, 논에서 높은 양의 상관성을 보였다. 유량-부하량 관계식 도출 결과, 상류의 경우 BOD, COD, T-P, TOC, SS는 유량이 증가함에 따라 농도가 감소하는 특성을 나타내었는데 이는 2019년 4월 이후 오존처리 재이용수 방류에 따른 유량 증가의 영향이라고 사료 된다. 반면 T-N은 유량이 증가함에 따라 농도가 증가하는 특성을 나타내었는데 이는 오존처리 재이용수의 T-N 농도가 하천의 T-N 농도 보다 높아 발생한 것으로 보인다. 중류와 하류의 경우 BOD, COD, T-P, TOC, SS는 유량이 증가함에 따라 농도가 증가하는 특성을 나타내어 강우 시 비점오염원의 영향이 있는 것으로 보인다. 특히, 하류의 경우 유량이 증가함에 따라 수질 농도가 급격히 증가하여 중류에 비해 비점오염원 영향이 더 큰 것으로 나타났다.

Noise and air pollution, which accompany the development of industry and the increase of population, contribute to the deterioration of urban environment. The air pollution level of Seoul has gradually increased and the city residents are suffering from a high pollution of noise. If no measures were taken against pollution, the amount of emission of pollutant into air would be 36.7 thousand tons per year per square kilometer in 1975, three times more than that of 1970, and it would be the same level as that of United States in 1968. The main sources of air pollution in Seoul are the exhaust has from vehicles and the combustion of bunker-C oil for heating purpose. Thus, it is urgent that an exhaust gas cleaner should be instaled to every car and the fuel substituted by less sulfur-contained-oil to prevent the pollution. Transportation noise (vehicular noise and train noise) is the main component of urban noise problem. The average noise level in downtown area is about 75㏈ with maximum of 85㏈ and the vehicular homing was checked 100㏈ up and down. Therefore, the reduction of the number of bus-stop the strict regulation of homing in downtown area and a better maintenance of car should be an effective measures against noise pollution in urban areas. Within the distance of 200 metres from railroad, the train noise exceeds the limit specified by the pollution control law in Korea. Especially, the level of noise and steam-whistle of train as measured by the ISO evaluation can adversely affect the community activities of residents. To prevent environmental destruction, many developed countries have taken more positive action against worsening pollution and such an action is now urgently required in this country.

In view of the numerous discussions on global environmental issues, policies have been implemented to limit emissions in the field of marine transport, which accounts for a major part of international trade. In this study, a ship's emissions were calculated by applying the engine load factor to determine the total quantity of emissions based on the ship's speed reduction. For ships entering and leaving the Busan North Port from 1 January to 31 December 2017, emissions were calculated and analyzed based on the ship's type and its speed in the reduced speed zone (RSZ), which was set to 20 nautical miles. The comparison of the total amount of emissions under all situations, such as cruising, maneuvering, and hotelling modes revealed that the vessels that generated the most emissions were container ships at 76.1 %, general cargo ships at 7.2 %, and passenger ships at 6.8 %. In the cruising and maneuvering modes, general cargo ships discharged a lesser amount of emission in comparison with passenger ships; however, in the hotelling mode, the general cargo ships discharged a larger amount of emission than passenger ships. The total emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulphur oxides (SOx), particulate matter (PM), and volatile organic compounds (VOC), were 49.4 %, 45 %, 4 %, and 1.6 %, respectively. Furthermore, the amounts of emission were compared when ships navigated at their average service speed, 12, 10, and 8 knots in the RSZ, respectively. At 12 knots, the reduction in emissions was more than that of the ships navigating at their average service speed by 39 % in NOx, 40 % in VOC, 42 % in PM, and 38 % in Sox. At 10 knots, the emission reductions were 52 %, 54 %, 56 %, and 50 % in NOx, VOC, PM, and Sox, respectively. At 8 knots, the emission reductions were 62 %, 64 %, 67 %, and 59 % in NOx, VOC, PM, and Sox, respectively. As a result, the emissions were ef ectively reduced when there was a reduction in the ship's speed. Therefore, it is necessary to consider limiting the speed of ships entering and leaving the port to decrease the total quantity of emissions.

This study was executed for utilizing it as basic data in appropriate recycling way and design by examining and analyzing various characteristics of food waste which is being discharged from various restaurant and apartment house. In general, there were differences in restaurants classification and Japanese restaurant showed big differences as compared to other restaurants. Vegetable had the highest composition and its contents had big difference according to seasons. In alien substances, oyster shells were the highest and restaurants showed high rate of alien substances than apartments, therefore it was required to divide them in advance. Salinity was the highest in Japanese restaurants and most restaurants had rate of up to 1%, so it was not appropriate for recycling. However, it was considered that if there is cleaning operation in the whole process, there might not be a problem. Feed Ingredient had 28% of fiber, 25% of protein, and 11% of fats. We analyzed noxious germs and heavy metal too. However microorganisms of etiological cause were not detected and each harmful material showed less values of control concentration. In the result of analysis of each characteristic, it is required to consider collection rate from restaurants and apartments and seasonal cause into design regarding recycling. And apartments are compatible to compost than feed and food waste from Chinese, flour restaurant and collective feeding facilities are compatible for feed, as it is evaluated.

This study was performed to investigate the contents characteristics of hazardous oil wastes and wastes of liquid fuels from different industrial process. In order to establish a hazardous waste list, samples of various industrial discharge have been analyzed for 16 non-regulated inorganic hazardous substances (i.e., Cu, Pb, Cd, CN, Hg, As, T-Cr, $Cr^{6+}$, Sb, Ni, F, V, Ba, Zn, Be, Se). In more detail, hazardous waste samples including waste hydraulic oils, waste engine, gear and lubricating oils, waste insulating and heat transmission oils, bilge oils, oil/water separator contents processing were collected from 37 workplaces and analyzed. We observed that the most of the inorganic substances exceeded the proposed criteria in many samples. Especially the concentration of Sb in heat transmission oil, bilge oil and gear & lubricating oils were ranged from 6 to 419 mg/kg whereas the proposed criteria is 50 mg/kg. The assessment result of hazardous waste in Korea according to the EWC showed that the out of 24 processes, 16 belongs to absolute entry and 8 belongs to mirror entry. In conclusion, we expect the outcome of this study to align the classification system of hazardous waste management in South Korea with international legislations, and consequently contribute to reduce environmental pollution as well as health risks by toxic wastes.
