That occur in the ocean and the efficient management of marine litter on marine pollution oil spill response one step further strategies are needed. Marine pollution accidents occurred in 2011, a total of 287 and was found in runoff 369 kL, respectively compared to the previous year decreased by 13% and 39%. Average amount of marine materials during 5-years represent the oil flow of 310.5 kL (heavy fuel oil of 106.0 kL, diesel of 178.9 kL, oily bilge water of 22.3 kL, other oil of 7.7 kL) and the waste of 62.3 tons, the hazardous and noxious substances (HNS) was 510.6 kL. Marine emissions in 2011 by type of waste that a total amount of dumping 3,972 $m^3$, and livestock manure 795 $m^3$(20%), waste water 1,431 $m^3$(36%), sewage sludge 887 $m^3$(22%), wastewater sludge, 813 $m^3$(21%), manure 5 $m^3$(0.1%), other 41 $m^3$(0.9%), respectively. The concept of marine waste and needs to be more clearly defined. Integrated management of hazardous chemicals according to the incident management system should be established. To remove of coastal pollution, response officer needs korean coast response system. Like the marine pollution response, coastal pollution response systems also require step response.

Environmental impact of waste tires as gound-reinforcing material is studied. Analysis for chemical compounds and toxic effect were performed on effluents from twelve lysimeters in which waste tires were mixed with sand and three initially different environmental solutions of acidic, neutral, and basic circulated through the mixture. The test results of effluents collected from the lysimeters provided that the contaminant concentrations were lower than those of Korean drinking water standards for all the selected and tested metal elements. While iron concentration increased slightly with the exposure period, other metal concentrations decreased with the number of circulation times. From the comparison with previous investigations, the contaminant concentration decreased with the increase of tire size, i.e. increases with the increase of the exposed surface of tire metals. From the toxicity tests, no deteriorative effect was observed and it could be concluded that waste tires are not biologically hostile materials.

Located mostly inside the megacity of Busan, the Busan Southern Port is a multifunctional port with various nearby industry activities, including a joint fish market, ship repair facilities, and fishing boat facilities. If toxic chemicals generated by the industrial activities continue to flow into and accumulate in the sediment of the port, they can affect aquatic ecosystems and humans. Therefore, in this study, distribution levels and potential influent sources of organic pollutants, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and butyltin compounds (BTs), in the sediment were investigated. The sediment samples were collected from eight sampling sites in November 2013 (first phase) and November 2014 (second phase). The mean concentrations of PAHs, PCBs, and BTs in the first and second sampling phages were 4174.0 ng/g-dry wt. and 1919.0 ng/g-dry wt., 166.3 ng/g-dry wt. and 21 ng/g-dry wt., and 50.9 ng/g-dry wt. and 30.8 ng/g-dry wt., respectively. The concentrations of the organic pollutants detected in the seabed sediments were lower in the second phase than in the first phase. In this study, the inflow sources of PAHs, PCBs, and BTs were found to be combustion, land, and municipal sewage or industrial wastewater, respectively.

1997년 EPA는 현재의 대기환경기준(NAAQS: National Ambient Air Quality Standard)인 $PM_{10}$과 병행하여 $PM_{2.5}$($d_p$＜$2.5\mu\textrm{m}$)에 대한 새로운 기준을 설정하므로서 미세입자의 중요성에 대한 인식이 증대되고 있다. 특히 조대입자의 배출원이 대부분 자연적인 배출원인데 비하여 미세입자(fine particle)의 대부분이 자동차 등의 이동배출원과 화학적 공정등과 같은 고정배출원에서 인위적으로 배출되기 때문에 각종 중금속과 유해 대기오염물질을 포함하고 있으며 금속중에는 미량으로도 인체에 심각한 영향을 나타낼 수 있는 중금속이 다수 포함되어 있다(Cr, Cu, Zn, Pb, Hg, Cd and As).(중략)

Post-spill monitoring of hazardous noxious substances accidents is essential in the event of a spillage of significant quantities of pollutants and for the management of the marine environment resulting from the long-term effects of the persistent toxic substances. The accidental introduction of a sinker into the marine environment can create harmful anaerobic conditions in the benthic ecosystem and spread over the seafloor by the topography and currents. Through case studies, most post-spill monitoring includes modeling, remote sensing, and chemical analyses of the sediment and benthic organisms. The monitoring also evaluates the effectiveness of restoration and recovery activities and assesses damages and compensation.

Toxicity of $Ni^{2+}$ and Tebuconazole were investigated via FETAX (Frog Embryo Teratogenesis Assay-Xenopus) protocol using domestic frog embryos. Embryos of Black-spotted pond frog, Rana nigromaculata, were incubated and toxic effects of $Ni^{2+}$ and Tebuconazole were investigated by probit analysis. As a result, mortality and malformation rates were increased and larval body length was decreased in a dose dependant manner of $Ni^{2+}$ and Tebuconazole. The half maximal effective concentration ($EC_{50}$) of $Ni^{2+}$ and Tebuconazole were 0.07, $12.7mg\;L^{-1}$, respectively and the half maximal lethal concentration ($LC_{50}$) of $Ni^{2+}$ and Tebuconazole were 4.2, 39.1, respectively. The teratogenic index (TI) were 61.4 in $Ni^{2+}$ and 3.1 in Tebuconazole, respectively. These results reveals that $Ni^{2+}$ and Tebuconazole suppress the development of Black-spotted pond frog embryos at the low concentration as showing teratogenic effects in other assay system. Therefore, teratogen assay system using the Rana nigromaculata embryos could be useful as a tool to evaluate the toxicity of the pollutants in environment.

The concrete structure is being considered for the main engineered barrier of low and intermediate level radwaste disposal facility. Concrete of low permeability can minimize infiltration of water and effectively prevent release of nuclide to ecosystem. But if concrete degrades, structural stability of disposal structure will decrease while permeability increase, resulting in increased possibility of nuclide release due to water infiltration. Therefore disposal concrete structure degradation shall be minimized to maintain capacity of nuclide isolation. The typical causes of concrete structure degradation are sulfide attack, reinforcement corrosion due to chloride attack, leaching of calcium hydroxide, alkali-aggregate reaction and repeated freezing-thawing. The common cause of these degradation processes is infiltration of water or adverse chemicals into concrete. Based on the study of these degradation characteristics and mechanisms of concrete structure, the methodology of design and service life evaluation of concrete structure as an engineered barrier are reviewed to ensure its long-term durability.

곰팡이에 의한 감염과 바이오 필름 형성이 우리 인간에게 매우 유해하다는 것은 익히 알려진 바이다. 일례로, 이는 우리가 먹는 음식을 오염시키고 치아를 상하게 하며 수도관을 부식시키고 또 우리 몸속에 집어넣는 의료기기에서 자라 심각한 질병을 유발시키는 등 여러가지 문제를 일으킨다. 곰팡이 감염과 바이오 필름 형성을 막기 위해 항생제 및 화학물질 등을 이용하는 방법들이 있으나 저항성이 증가된 균주의 출현, 환경오염 등의 문제점을 유발시키고 있다. 따라서 좀더 지속적이고 환경친화적인 기술개발이 요구되어지고 있다. 강한 살균력이 있다고 알려져 있는 대기압 플라즈마는 이러한 기술개발에 적용해볼 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 상온 대기압 플라즈마를 만들어 내는 여러 타입의 장치를 이용하여 곰팡이 살균과 이스트 바이오필름 형성 저해에 대한 조사를 하였고 플라즈마 처리에 따른 곰팡이 세포들의 세포학적 분자생물학적 영향에 대해 조사해 보았다. 대기압 상온 플라즈마 제트는 대기중에서 방안의 온도로 플라즈마가 생성되며 이를 페트리디쉬위에 접종된 이스트(Saccharomyces cerevisiae) 위 10 mm에서 조사한 결과 2분 이상의 처리를 했을 때 바이오 필름형성을 하지 못함을 보였고 곰팡이(Neurospora crassa)포자에 처리했을 때는 처리시간에 비례하여 발아하는 포자수가 감소하고 포자의 모양도 수축되는 것으로 관찰되었다. 대기압 플라즈마 제트는 대면적이 아닌 국부적 살균으로 살균력은 보이나 그 효율성이 낮아 이를 보완하기위해 DBD 형식의 플라즈마 장치를 만들었으며 이는 페트리디쉬의 모든 면을 동시에 조사할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 다만 제트와는 달리 플라즈마의 생성구간이 넓고 얇아 시료와 2~3 mm 간격을 띄우고 조사하였다. 제트와 마찬가지로 살균의 효과를 보였으며 기존의 단점을 극복하여 동시에 더 많은 면적을 조사 할 수 있게 되었다. 이를 통해 플라즈마의 살균능력을 직접 확인하였고 앞으로 더 많은 실험과 연구를 통해 일련의 과정들에 대한 원인을 규명하고자 한다.

Geochemical investigations based on measurements of water parameters and sampling of stream sediments have been carried out, in the Okdongcheon stream and its tributaries in the Sangdong area of South Korea. There are two main problems occurring in the Okdongcheon stream: an acid mine drainage in the upper reaches and toxic trace metal contamination of the stream sediments mainly in the lower reaches. Acid mine water originating from coal mining was neutralized at the confluence of the Cheonpyongcheon stream whilst suspended solids due to flocculation of iron in water caused turbidity which was undesirable. Sediments in the Okdongcheon stream have been contaminated by mining activites. Iron was heavily concentrated in sediments in the upper Okdongcheon whilst toxic trace metals including Pb, Cu, Zn, Co, Cd, As and Bi were accumulated in sediments at stations draining metallic mining areas and near the tailings dam. There is now a requrement to neutralise the acid mine drainage and to use site-specific analysis of biological communities to ensure the conservation and preservation of aquatic organisms.
