This study was carried out to investigate the effects of aging and soil texture on composting of diesel-contaminated soil. The soils used for this study were silt loam and sand. Target contaminant, diesel oil, was spiked at 10,000mgTPH/kg of dry soil. Aging times of diesel-contaminated soils were 15days and 60days, respectively. Fresh diesel-contaminated soil was also investigated. Moisture content was controlled to 70% of soil field capacity. Mix ratio of soil to sludge was 1:0.3 as wet weight basis. Temperature was maintained at $20^{\circ}C$ Volatilization loss of TPH was below 2% of initial concentration. n-Alkanes lost by volatilization were mainly by the compounds of C10 to C17. Diesel in contaminated soil was mainly removed by biodegradation mechanism. First order degradation rate constant of TPH in sandy soil was ranged from 0.081 to 0.094/day, which is higher than that in silt loam(0.056-0.061/day). From fresh to 60day-aged soils, there was little difference of TPH biodegradation rate between the soils. Carbon recovery ranged from 0.61 to 0.89. TPH degradation rate was highly correlated with $CO_2$ production rate.

미생물 활성도와 그에 따른 유기물의 분해율은 미생물의 호흡률과 직접적인 관계가 있다. 본 연구는 매립종료후 경과기간이 1년인 Y 매립지와 10년인 C 매립지의 오염특성을 조사하였고, 오염토양 미생물의 산소소비속도를 이용하여 매립종료기간에 따른 오염토양의 산소소비율을 비교 평가 하고자 하였다. C 매립지의 오염토양에 대한 SCO $D_{cr}$ TOC는 Y 매립지에 비해 낮은 함량으로 나타났으나 T-N, N $H_3$-N의 함량은 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. TOC/T-N비로 보았을 때 Y 매립지에 비해 C 매립지가 낮은 것으로 나타나 연령이 많은 경우 분해성 유기물의 함량은 적은 것으로 판단된다. 산소소비율 실험결과 Y 매립지가 산소소비율이 높은 것으로 나타났으며, C 매립지도 대조토양에 비해 높은 산소소비율을 보였다. 따라서 매립종료 후 경과기간이 10년인 매립지의 미생물의 산소소비율을 보았을 때 여전히 생물학적 안정화가 종료되지 않은 것을 알 수 있었다.

TOC(total organic carbon)분석은 폐수 및 강수의 오염특성을 평가하기 위한 도구로서 BOD(biochemical oxygen demand), COD(chemical oxygen demand) 와 함께 사용되어 왔다. TOC 측정시간은 10분 정도로 BOD(5～6일), COD(2～3시간)에 비해 아주 짧은 시간에 측정할 수가 있으며, 전처리과정이 단순하고 정확도도 높은 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구는 지하수의 잠재오염성을 밝혀내기 위한 도구로 TOC를 활용하여 신뢰성 있는 분석 값을 얻기 위해서 시료의 채취, 보관, 측정까지의 최적 조건을 도출하는데 목적을 두었다. 아울러 시료 채취 후 일정 경과 시간에 따른 TOC의 변화를 관찰하였다. 시료채취 용기, 채취 후 산성화, 보관방법 및 기간에 대한 실험 결과, 대상 변수에 따라서 TOC의 농도변화에 커다란 차이점을 볼 수 있었다. TOC 농도가 낮은 지하수시료의 측정에서는 빛을 차단시킨 불투명 유리병을 사용해야만 하고 채취 즉시 산도를 높여(pH<2)주며 4$^{\circ}C$ 이하에서 보관하여야 한다. 지하수중 TOC 측정시료는 가능한 보관 기간에 있어서 채수 후 24시간 이내에 측정하는 것이 좋으나 1) 본 연구에서는 채취현장과의 거리를 고려하면 현실적으로 불가능하므로 기간에 따른 TOC 변화를 30일까지 측정, 조사하였다.

In an accidental release of radioactive materials to the environment the contaminative influence of animal products due to the inhalation of air and the ingestion of soil of livestock, both of which are dealt with as minor contaminative pathways in most radioecological models but may not be neglected, was investigated with the improvement of the Korean dynamic food chain model DYNACON Although mathematical models for both contaminative pathways have been established for considering all animal products and incorporated into the model, investigation was limited to milk. As a result, it was found that both pathways are influential in the contamination of milk in the case of an accidental release during the non-grazing period of dairy cows. In the case of an accidental release during the non-grazing period, the inhalation of air was more influential than the ingestion of soil in the early days following an accidental release. While, it was the opposite with the lapse of time. If precipitation is encountered during an accidental release, contaminative influence due to the ingestion of soil was greater compared with the cases of no precipitation, in general, because of a stealer deposition of radionuclides onto the ground. Precipitation during an accidental release was a less influential factor in $^{131}I$ (elemental iodine) contamination compared with the $^{137}Cs\;and\;^{90}Sr$ contaminations. In the case of an accidental release during the grazing period of dairy cows, the contaminative influence due to the inhalation of air was negligible.

This study was carried out to investigate the characteristic change of piggery slurry during the storage time and depth. The Piggery slurry was settled in a 10.0m diameter$\times$3.0m high storage tank for 6 months and then divided into three layers according to the storage time. The pollutants concentration, BODs(Biochemical Oxygen demand), CO $D_{Mn}$ (Chemical Oxygen demand) and SS(Suspended Solids) of the piggery slurry used in this study were 25,134, 15,840, 23,800mg/$\ell$, respectively. The initial fertilizer content of piggery slurry, N(Nitrogen), $P_2$ $O_{5}$(Phosphoric acid) and $K_2$O(Potassium oxide), were 0.69, 0.33, 0.40%, respectively. 6 months later, BO $D_{5}$, CO $D_{Mn}$ and SS of the Piggery slurry were 16,040, 8,098, 3,300mg/$\ell$ in top layer, 15,806, 8,309, 5,900mg/$\ell$ in middle layer and 39,530, 23,958, 51,000mg/$\ell$ in bottom layer, respectively. The fertilizer content of piggery slurry after 6 months, N, $P_2$ $O_{5}$ and $K_2$O, were 0.47, 0.07, 0.46% in top layer, 0.43, 0.08, 0.47% in middle layer and 0.60, 0.44, 0.40% in bottom layer, respectively. Consequently, in course of storage time, the pollutant concentration and fertilizer content were the highest in the bottom layer compared with the top and middle layer.

The bioreactor system for the large-scale plant tissue culture was developed to control the pH concentration and DO (dissolved oxygen), and air flowrate. The system controlling the proper air flow rate for each bulblet growth stage and monitoring the contamination of bioreactor using the pH change was controled by computer program. For the uniform bulblet distribution in bioreactor, the proper air flow rate was 300 cc/min at the beginning of bulblet culture, 400 cc/min after 20 days, 500 cc/min after 40 days, 600 cc/min after 60days, and 700 cc/min after 80 days. It was possible to maintain the pH concentration within 5.5$\pm$0.5 during the culture by control system of bioreactor.

해수침투는 대수층의 염분 농도를 증가시켜 지하수 염분화에 의한 용수의 부족 등을 야기시키며 다른 지하수 오염과 마찬가지로 회복에 대한 막대한 비용과 시간이 소모되어 피해지역에 대한 정확한 현황파악이 어려워 피해방지대책의 수립이 필요한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 흐름과 이송을 모의할 수 있는 GMS-FEMWATER 모델을 이용하여 대상지역의 지층구조를 구분하고 실제 대상지역의 지층과 동일하게 모델링하여 해안지역의 해수침투에 대한 특성을 규명하였다. 분석결과 양수기간이 길어 질수록 지하수두강하 폭이 양수기간 30일, 60일, 90일 및 180일 경과 시 초기 수위에서 점차 4.25m (1.36%), 3.5m (1.13%), 2.96m (0.97%), 1.97m (0.65%)으로 감소하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 양수량이 많은 관정일수록 해수 침투가 큰 것을 알 수 있다. 양수기간 30일 0.59mg/l, 채수 60일 1.65mg/l, 채수 90일 3.14mg/l, 180일 5.55mg/l으로 분석되었다. 이결과로 볼 때 양수기간 초기에서 기간이 지날 수록 해수침투가 큰영향을 주는 것을 알 수 있었다.

This paper analyzes the map of soil contamination in years of 2009 by actual survey in Incheon. South-east national industrial complex and the US Army base in Bu-Pyung are turned out to be high polluted area because spilling of oil storage facilities, vehicle and glass industries. So, the soil contamination in Incheon Metropolitan area will be getting more attention. To solve this problem, the soil contamination has been predicted by using the visual Sufer and visual Modflow which are analysis program in geotechnique and water flow. The result of analysis is that F and TPH will be retarded after 5 years. However, the contamination diffusion will be increased if there is no proper management of soil contamination.

Meat is a perishable product since it offers favorable conditions for microbial contamination and multiplication. Besides, undercooked and raw meat has been linked to outbreaks of hemorrhagic diarrhea due to the presence of microbial pathogens. Therefore, this study was conducted to find out the effect of the use of gamma-irradiation in order to improve preservation and eliminate this microorganisms. The Initial level of microbial contamination in pork was 1.1$\times$10$^3$ CFU/g (aerobic bacteria), 5.3$\times$10$^3$CFU/g (psychrophile), 3.1$\times$10$^3$ CFU/g (coliforms) and 3.2$\times$10$^3$ CFU/g(Listeria), All kinds of contaminated microorgnisms were sterilized by gamma irradiation at 3 kGy. The proximate composition of pork was not significantly changed by irradiation dose and storage period. The pH was slightly increased during storage period and titratable acidity decreased. However, no significant changes in pH and acidity were observed by gamma irradiation. There was no difference in total amino acid content regardless of irradiation dose and storage period. Glutamic acid was detected at high levels throughout the storage period. The major mineral compositions of pork were potassium, phosphorus, sodium, magnesium. No significant difference in the components of minerals were observed by gamma irradiation.
