To assess a various of workplace noise environment in the tunnel construction site, the measurement is performed while tunnel constructing work. This study focuses on the sound attenuation according to the sound frequency characteristics and the distance from various works in the tunnel. Also, the noise distribution while blasting work is measured according to distance in this study. In addition, the boring processing, muck treatment, and tunnel lining by distance are measured for the noise distributions.

In the NATM tunnel construction method for urban subway and underpass construction, various causes of disaster exist. In this study, in order to analyze the importance of disaster influencing factors during NATM tunnel excavation, the possible risk factors were analyzed through prior research such as drilling, charging and blasting, It was divided into the work items of wrinkle treatment, pumice cleanup, and support materials. Next, the final 21 detailed measurement indicators were selected through the FGI survey of related experts, and AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) analysis were conducted. As a result, it was found that the workers involved in the tunnel construction were the most influential disaster influencing factor.

In order to ruduce traffic-jam, it is requested to extend road. As a result, the construction of tunnels is inevitable considering our mountatinous topography. In tunnel construction work, major contamination materials occur from rock drilling, blasting rock, rock transporting, and short-creat. After rock blasting, a very high concentration of particles over $5000{\mu}g/m^3$ is maintained for 4 h when air is supplied by pans, by which the construction work has to be delayed at least 30 min. Although dry dust collectors are used, the effective operation time span is limited to 3 h. In this work, the behavior of particles in air and use of particle removal instruments are investigated. As a result, it was important to compare efficiencies of dry and hydro dust collectors.

Friar Tuck, an Abandoned Mine Lands (AML) site, is located on the Greene-Sullivan county line in southwest Indiana. Prior to the on-going reclamation, Friar Tuck was one of the Indiana's largest and most environmentally adverse abandoned mine lands. The direct vegetation method was used to reclaim tailing ponds. Grading, capping, and revegetalon using agricultural limestone, fertilizer, mulch and seed were applied to the gob piles to abate acid mine drainage (AMD) and off-side sedimentaion. Erosion control structures such as terrace, diversion ditch, and gabion structures were also constructed to minimize erosion at slopes. A new method for treatment of AMD using apatite was tested in the laboratory and field. Apatite effectively removed iron, aluminum and sulfate while maintaining an almost constant pH. Apparently, this method can be applied to control AMD from mining refuse materials, even those containing high concentrations of iron and aluminum ions.
