지구상의 대기환경 중에 가스상의 형태로 존재하는 황화합물은 크게 두 가지 유형으로 분류된다. 인류의 산업활동과 같은 여러 유형의 인위적 배출원을 통해 배출되는 황화합물의 절대적인 부분을 차지하며 가스상 산화물의 형태로 존재하는 이산화황과 같은 성분은 인위적 기원의 황성분을 대표한다 (Spiro et al., 1992). 그런데 이들과 달리 자연적인 조건에서 생물활동의 결과로 지구의 대기환경 중으로 유입되는 황화합물들은 그 종류가 다양할 뿐 아니라, 산화도가 낮은 환원황화합물 (reduced sulfur compounds)의 형태로 존재한다.

매립지 내부에서 진행되는 혐기성 분해로 인한 폐기물의 부패현상은 일반적으로 악취와 관련한 직접적인 대기오염문제에서부터 메탄과 이산화탄소와 같은 온실기체의 발생 등과 같이 기후환경변화와 관련된 문제에 이르기까지 매우 심각한 오염원으로 인식되고 있다. 특히 매립지 내부의 가스상 오염물질들의 누적을 억제하기 위하여 설치하는 배출공에서는 이산화탄소나 메탄과 같은 온실기체 이외에도 약 80여 종에 이르는 다양한 휘발성유기화합물질 (Volatile Organic Compound, 이하 VOC) 성분들이 검출되기도 하였다 (Young and Parker, 1983).

In this study, to investigate the feasibility of malodorous substance and organic matter removal by digest sludge in sewage treatment plants, ammonia, methyl mercaptan(MMC), and hydrogen sulfide($H_2S$) in a reactor submerged with BIO-CLOD(BIO-CLOD) and a reactor not submerged with BIO-CLOD(Non BIO-CLOD) were measured at 24 hours, 48 hours, and 72 hours after the submergence of BIO-CLOD. Whereas the reactor in which BIO-CLOD was submerged showed an ammonia removal rate of 48% and high $H_2S$ and MMC removal rates exceeding 98% in 24 hours, the reactor in which BIO-CLOD was not submerged showed an ammonia removal rate of 45%, an $H_2S$ removal rate of 71%, and an MMC removal rate of 84% in 24 hours indicating the possibility of removal of malodor using BIO-CLOD. A nitrification was shown in which ammonia concentrations decreased over time while nitrate nitrogen concentrations increased and sulfur based malodor components were oxidation decomposed indicating that BIO-CLOD had effects to increase sulfate concentrations in the solution and that sulfate concentration increases and atmospheric $H_2S$ removal rates were correlated with each other. With regard to decreases in organic matter in reactor effluents, BIO-CLOD did not affect in a short period of time and when reactors were operated with HRT 12 hours and HRT 24 hours, HRT 12 hours was considered desirable in terms of economy.

In this study, we investigated the emission concentrations of 31 odorous compounds from various emission sources of 37 individual companies located within the Ban Wal industrial complex of Ansan city, Korea. In the course of our study, we attempted to evaluate emission characteristics of different industrial activities and relative significance of different odorous components . Based on our measurements of odorous compounds, we were able to find a line of evidence to draw a conclusion that a number of odorous compounds can be used as indices to specifically point out the influence of certain industrial activities. It was found that hydrogen sulfide and trimethyl amine record the highest contribution from leather industry. Likewise, acetaldehyde showed its maximum contribution from food-beverage sector, while ammonia for paper-mill, pulp production sector. On the other hand, the results of styrene and most YOC including BTEX were not useful, as their concentrations were not significantly high enough to judge from such respect.

A biofertilizer, having been deordorized and showing promotive effect on plant growth, was manufactured from the rice straw and hen feces by use of Thermoactinomycetes vulgaris. This strain grew vigorously on rice straw mixed with unsterilized hen feces at $50^{\circ}C,\;pH\;8.0{\sim}8.5$ and moisture content of 60% and got rid hen feces of malodour during treatment. The growth of plant(Brassica raga var. previdis) was experimented on humic volcanic ash soil, using pot in thermostatically controlled greenhouse. The biofertilizer was applied as N-fertilizer and air-dried lien feces or ammonium sulfate were used for comparison with the biofertilizer. The effect on. plant growth was evaluated on the basis of the amount of nitrogen as fertilizer, under a loading of 0.1g N/pot, all samples showed a promotion effect of plant growth. But ammonium sulfate and air-dried hen feces inhibited plant growth at the nitrogen content over 0.2 and 0.4g N/pot, respectively, whereas the biofertilizer showed a good promotion effect on plant growth without growth inhibition even at nitrogen content of 0.8g N/pot.

Animals produce important co-products such as meat, milk, and egg. Higher consumption and urbanization asked for more animal products and the demand was so strong that lager livestocks are now being raised densely in small farm. Large production of excreta and maldor is an inevitable consequence of condensed breeding. If this malodor couldn't be controlled, it could be chief obstacle to development of both livestock industry and environment of future. Major odor produced from livestock environments could be subdivided into four major sections: volatile fatty acids, ammonia and volatile amine, indole and phenols, and sulfur compounds. More than half of nitrogen excreted urea, so low protein feeding, synthetic amino acid feeding and supplementing with digestive enzyme, microbial agents and/or probiotics are methods for reducing nitrogen excretion. A lot of studies about feeding and probiotics, co-feed have been researched to improve environment and/or productivity in livestock industry.

폐수거품은 전 세계의 폐수처리장에서 악취생산과 BOD의 증가 및 부유고형물의 원인과 같은 수많은 문제들을 야기시킨다. Actinomycetes가 폐수거품에 존재하는 주요 미 생물군으로 알려져있다. Hexadecane은 폐수, 토양, 바닷물과 같은 자연환경에서 오염물질로 고려되는 복잡한 기름 성분의 대표적인 구성성분이다. Hexadecane은 폐수로부터 얻어진 폐수거품에 의한 분해가능성을 평가하기 위한 대표적인 모델 화합물로서 사용되었다. Gas chromatography (GC)/mass (MS)가 시료중에 있는 hexadecane의 분석을 위해 사용되었다. 본 연구를 통해서, hexadecane은 폐수거품에 의해 분해될 수 있는 것으로 사료된다. 멸균시킨 폐수거품시료를 포함하고 있는 control시료에서, hexadecane은 거의 분해되지 않았다. 반면에, 같은 방법에 의해 멸균되지 않은 폐수시료에서, hexadecane은 급속히 분해되었다. 덧붙여서, 농축폐수거품이 들어있는 시료는 3주 동안 건조된 폐수거품의 시료보다 hexadecane을 분해하는 데 더욱 효과가 높았다. 그러나, 3주 후에는 농축폐수거품의 시료에 남아있는 hexadecane의 농도는 건조된 폐수거품시료의 농도와 유사하였다. 요약컨대, 농축된 폐수거품시료와 건조된 폐수거품시료는 control시료와 비교했을 때, hexadecane의 급속한 분해를 보여주었다. 그러므로 본 연구의 실험결과를 통해서 건조된 폐수거품시료가 hexadecane을 비롯한 다른 chemical들로 오염된 장소를 정화하는 데 실제적으로 적용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

In this study, a number of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) including benzene, toluene, p-xylene, styrene, and methyl ethyl ketone were analyzed from samples collected in ambient air and under the field conditions. These samples were analyzed independently by two different set-ups for VOC analyses, i.e., between [1] gas chromatography/flame ionization detector with tube sampling - (F-T system) and [2] gas chromatography/mass spectrometer with bag sampling (M-B system). The analytical results derived by both systems showed fairly similar patterns in relative sense but with moderately large differences in absolute sense. The results of M-B system were high relative to F-T system with the F-T/M-B ratio below 1. If the relative biases of the two measurement techniques are derived in terms of percent difference (PD) in concentration values, the results were generally above 35% on average. A student t-test was applied to investigate the statistical significance of those differences between the systems. The results of both analytical systems were different at 95% confidence level for toluene, p-xylene, styrene, and methyl ethyl ketone (P < 0.043). However, F-T and M-B systems showed strong correlations for toluene and p-xylene. The observed bias is explained in large part by such factors as the differences in standard phases used for each system and the chemical loss inside the bag sampler.

In this study, we have evaluated the effect of efficient microorganisms on odor-removal efficiency and early stabilization of the burial sites. We have developed an efficient microorganism designated as 'KEM' which have the ability to degrade organic compounds and remove odor effectively. Other efficient microorganisms already used on site, such as EM and Bacillus sp., were also compared. We preceded these experiment using lab-scale reactors under three conditions (control, only media and only body) and comparing the effect of with or without the application of tree efficient microorganisms separately. Analysis was focused on eight components (ammonia, TMA, $H_2S$, methyl mercaptan, dimethyl sulfide, dimethyl disulfide, $CO_2$ and $CH_4$), and as a result, efficient microorganisms were shown efficiency in the removal of ammonia and methyl mercaptan. The applied KEM decayed up to 71.2% of the buried meat. We were unable to observe significant differences in microbial communities between efficient microorganisms-treated and non-treated reactors due to the large presence of microorganisms in both soil and carcasses. However, it was possible to observe the effect on odor control and decay rate through the application of efficient microorganisms.
