In this study, four inorganic pollutants (cadmium, chromium, manganese, lead), that could cause contamination events in drinking water distribution system, were selected and batch tests were carried out to determine the "minimum response concentration (MRC)", a part of Korean Contamination Warning system establishment. As the results, the minimum response concentration of cadmium was found to be 0.05 to 0.08 mg/L (0.005 mg/L : water quality standard) and that of chrome was 0.03 mg/L (0.05 mg/L). And the minimum reaction concentration was 0.005 mg/L for manganese (0.05 mg / L for water quality) and 0.02~0.08 mg/L for lead (0.01 mg/L).

This study evaluated the behavior of pollutants based on the seasonal change by selecting the branch river's factors that influence the outflow of pollutants in Soyang lake basin. The analysis method was the factor analysis that classified the factors of the drainage area influencing the outflow of pollutants, and evaluated selected representative factors. As a result of the study, SS and T-P factors should be classified as similar factors to the storm water runoff, and the improvement of water must be strived through managing source of pollution at the time of no rain. Second, as the result of the influence from the factors, spring and winter seasons usually exert 36% influence and summer and fall exert over 90% significant influence that the improvement of water through managing source of water seems possible. At last, the prediction about delivery pollution load considering the outflow characteristic of pollutants at the drainage area based on seasonal change by regarding selected factors as independent variables is possible.

비점오염원은 기상조건과 토지이용에 따라 시간에 따른 오염부하량의 변동폭이 크게 발생하며, 강우초기에 오염물질의 농도가 크게 나타난다. MFFn은 강우지속시간에 따라 다양하게 변화하는 오염물질의 부하량과 유출량을 특정시점에서 강우유출율과 오염물질 유출율을 계산할 수 있으며, 강우가 시작될 때 0, 종료될 때 1의 값을 나타내며, 1보다 크면 초기세척이 있음을 나타낸다. 예를 들면 MFF20에서 평균값이 2.5이면 초기우수유출수의 부피 20%에 오염물질 부하량의 부피 50%를 포함하는 것을 의미한다. 본 연구에서는 논에서의 초기세척비율 정량화하기 위해 영산강수계 논지역(이하, 학야지구)과 섬진강수계 논지역(이하, 적성지구) 각 1개유역을 선정하여 2009년부터 2012년까지 수문 및 수질 모니터링을 수행하였다. 유역면적은 학야지구는 13.69 ha 이며, 적성지구는 8.06ha 이다. 두 지역 모두 외부유입이 없으며, 배수로가 구조물화 되어 있어 관측이 용이한 지점이다. 논에서 강우시유출되는 오염물질을 산정하기 위해서 배수로 말단에 압력식 수위계와 자동채수기를 설치하여 일정간격으로 관측하였으며, 수위별 유량관측을 통해 수위-유량관계곡선식을 산정 후 유량으로 환산하였다. 채취된 수질은 수질공정시험법을 통해 BOD, COD, TOC, T-N, T-P, SS를 분석하였으며, 관측된 유량과 수질자료를 이용하여 부하량을 산정하고, MFFn을 이용하여 초기세척비율을 정량화 하였다. BOD COD, TOC, T-N, T-P, SS 의 논 초기세척비율은 n 값이 10% 때 중앙값이 각각 1.3, 1.18, 1.13, 1.2, 1.13, 1.1 였으며, 13%, 11.8%, 11.3%, 12%, 11.3%, 11% 가 유출되는 것으로 나타났으며, n 값이 20%일 때 1.3, 1.1, 1.1, 1.25, 1.2, 1.2 이였으며, 26%, 22%, 22%, 25%, 24%. 24%가 유출되는 것으로 나타났다. n 값이 30%일 때 1.25, 1.0, 1.0, 1.25, 1.13, 1.3 였으며, 37.5%, 30%, 30%, 37.5%, 33.9%, 39%가 유출되는 것으로 나타났다.

Outgassing from such sources as paints, coatings, adhesives and other non-metallic surfaces can contaminate satellites, especially second surface mirror and optical lens, it cause satellite to fail in own missions. The vacuum bake-out test using high temperature(more than $85 ^{\circ}C$)and high vacuum(less than $5.0{\times}1-^{-3}$ Pa) certify that the components of satellite work properly and can survive and operate in space environment like high vacuum. In the bake-out chamber installed at SITC of KARI, Rotary vacuum pump and Booster pump produce low vacuum of 5.0 Pa, and then two cryopumps produce high vacuum of below $5.0{\times}10^{-3}$ Pa. Also 48 ceramic heaters were provided to simulate high temperature. During the vacuum bake-out test, we detected contaminants using RGA(Residual Gas Analyzer) and measure the outgassing rate of the contaminant using the TQCM(Thermoelectric Quartz Crystal Microbalance). Also, IR/UV Spectrometer and witness plate be used to certify that the components were suitable for the spacecraft. This paper includes the preparation and procedures of the bake-out test for SAR(Solar Array Regulator) and MLI(Multi Layer Insulator), which were the components of the spacecraft. Especially, we discussed the methods and results of the contamination measurement. In the bake-out for SAR, the contamination was measured continuously although it was on the decrease from TQCM results. And RCA established that it is a highly polymerized compound. In the MLI bake-out using RGA and witness plate, we didn't detect any contamination materials.

현대인들은 하루 중 80∼90％ 이상의 많은 시간을 실내에서 생활하고 있어 실내에서의 발생되는 오염물질에 대한 특성파악은 무엇보다도 중요하다. 실내오염물질의 종류와 발생원은 매우 다양하며, 최근에는 산업발달과 더불어 수 많은 종류의 새로운 복합화합물질들이 발생되고 있다. 신축건물에 사용되는 건축자재는 휘발성유기화합물(VOCs)과 포름알데히드(HCHO)등의 다양한 유해화학물질들을 방출하고 실내공기질을 악화시키는 것으로 조사되고 있다. (중략)

잔류성 유기오염물질(POPs; Persistent Organic Pollutants)은 환경 내에서 분해가 느려 잔류성이 높고, 생체 지질에 축적되는 독성이 강한 특성이 있다. 따라서 스톡홀름 협약(2001년 5월 23일)에서 12종의 POPs 물질에 대해 국제적 사용금지 및 관리가 결정되었다. POPs는 대부분 반휘발성(semi-volatile) 이어서 대기 중 장거리 이동되어 배출지와 다른 곳에 침적되는 것이 보고되어있다. 이러한 물질들의 대기 중 잔류량과 기체상과 입자상의 분포 특성을 살펴서 환경 내 이동성을 파악하는 것은 인체위해성 수준을 알아내는데 중요한 자료이다. (중략)

A lot of particulate matter and an offensive odor are emitted during the operations of an industrial waste incinerator (IWI), especially pre_treatment and waste input processes. These pollutants affect the labor efficiency of an operator. Therefore, in this study. we have studied the improvement of working surroundings in the industrial waste incinerator by designing a new control system. A computational fluid dynamics has been used to find the diffusion flows of air pollutants (mainly particles and odor) to the working surroundings of the waste treatment complexes. The results obtained from the simulation analysis applied to the basic design on the points (and/or site) and types of pollution control devices. When pollutant control devices are constructed, the concentration of each pollutant at site 1 and 2 decreased about 83-97% for toluene, 48-72% for styrene, 75-87% for xylene, and 23-36% for ammonia, respectively. In addition, the PM-10 and TSP were decreased about 87% and 86% at site 3 (lower part of the waste input), 87% and 85% at site 4 (side part of the waste input), respectively. These indicated that the new control system had an excellent performance of particulate matter and odor removal and it could be applied to other waste treatment plant in place of an industrial waste incinerator.

The National Environmental Specimen Bank (NESB) has been collecting broad leave samples to monitor environmental pollution from five different designated sampling areas. In order to ensure the reproducibility and comparability of the results, all the procedures from selecting trees and pooling leaves to make the representative sample are defined in the standard operation procedures(the SOP). The representative samples were subjected to the chemical analyses for some heavy minerals and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons(PAHs). The uncertainty levels involved in each step of the SOP, that is, the sampling and the chemical analysis, were derived using the Robust ANOVA, which enables the relative comparison among the different levels of pollutants concentrations with confidence. Furthermore, the effect of the varying degrees of precipitation on the pollutants concentration of the leaves was also examined. Overall, the biological difference estimated from the duplicate samples was found to exceed the variation across the site, implying even aerial deposition over site. Samples from Gwanak Mt. showed highest heavy metal concentrations than the other sites. Washing off effect of the pollutants adhering in the form of particles on the leaf surface was found to be affected by the cumulative precipitation.

Phytoremediation is an economical and environmentally friendly bioremediation technique using plants which can increase the microbial population in soil. Unlike other pollutants such as heavy metals, poly-chlorinated biphenyl, trichloroethylene, perchloroethylene and so on, petroleum hydrocarbons are relatively easily degradable by soil microbes. For successful phytoremediation of soil contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons, it is important to select plants with high removal efficiency through microbial degradation. In this study, we clarified the roles of plants and rhizobacteria and identified their species effective on phytore-mediation by reviewing the papers previously reported. Plants and rhizobacteria can degrade and remove the petroleum hydrocarbons directly and indirectly by stimulating each other's degradation activity. The preferred plant species are alfalfa, ryegrass, tall fescue, poplar, corn, etc. The microorganisms with a potential to degrade hydrocarbons mostly belong to Pseudomonas spp., Bacillus spp., and Alcaligenes spp. It has been reported that the elimination efficiency of hydrocarbons by soil microorganisms can be improved when plants were simultaneously applied. For more efficient restoration, it's necessary to understand the plant-rhizobacteria interaction and to select the suitable plant and microorganism species.
