The geostatistical analyses for the chemical components of pH, TS, KMnO4 Demand, Cl, SO$_4$ and NO$_3$-N are carried out to understand the groundwater contamination in Pusan. The average values of each component are 7.2 for pH, 336.4mg/$\ell$ for TS, 2.3mg/$\ell$ for KMnO$_4$ Demand, 44.3mg/$\ell$ for Cl, 36.0mg/$\ell$ for SO$_4$, and 4.6mg/$\ell$ for NO$_3$-N. The ratios over the drinking standard of each component are 0.34% for pH, 2.27% for TS, 1.55% for KMnO$_4$ Demand, 1.59% for Cl, 0.57% for SO$_4$, and 3.7% for NO$_3$-N. The highest ratio of NO$_3$-N results from the municipal sewage and exhaust gas of vehicles. The isopleth maps of 6 chemical components show that the high values of groundwater contamination come from the inland of Pusan, and that some high values appear at the coastal area. The isopleth maps of Cl and SO$_4$ related with seawater intrusion also show that the high values appear only at the particular coastal area, not at the whole area. On the isopleth maps of Cl and SO$_4$, the anomalies of the concentration contours were compared with the directions of two large fault zones, the Ilkwang Fault and the Dongrae Fault. Apparently, they don't have the particular correlation. Therefore, it is concluded that the main source of groundwater contamination in Pusan is not the seawater, but the municipal sewage and other sources such as the exhaust gas of vehicles, the contaminated surface water, the waste water of factories, and the leachate of waste landfills.

Groundwater and soil contamination by the leak of leachates from the waste disposal site (WDS) is one of the serious environmental problems, and leachates are generally produced by the biogeochmical decomposition and/or precipitation in the WDS. At the Sindae-dong waste disposal site in Taejon, the average Cu, Pb and Zn concentrations in the surrounding soils are higher than those in other Korean soils but these are not high enough to cause any harmful effect to man through the crop plants. Copper, Pb and Zn are not detected in the groundwater samples but the pH of the sample is 5.6 which is not suitable for the drinking water. In contaminated soil samples, the heavy metal concentrations are higher in subsurface soil than in surface soil and it may be influenced by the leachates in groundwater. With the electric resistivity method, the water contains layers are found in contaminated soils and the resistivity values are considerably low because of the dispersion of plume by the leak of leachates. According to the distance from the leak point of leachate, resistivity values increased and heavy metal concentraions in soils decreased due to the reduction of plume.

농촌지역인 공주시 유구읍 명곡리 지역의 천부지하수와 먹는 샘물 공장의 취수정 심부 지하수을 대상으로 지화학적 특성을 밝히고, 물-암석 상호반응과 오염물질 유입에 대해서 토의하였다. 천부 지하수의 화학적 유형은 Ca-HCO$_3$형에서 Ca-Cl(SO$_4$)형으로 전반적으로 약산성화 되어있고, $K^{＋}$, Cl$^{-}$, NO$_3$$^{-}$오염이 상당히 진행되어 70 %이상이 음용수로 불가능한 상태이다. 군집방법에 의하면 신선한 물과 오염된 물사이에 뚜렷한 경향의 차이를 보인다. 천부지하수의 주요 오염원은 각가정에 있는 재래식 화장식, 생활하수, 가축의 축사, 비료등으로 보인다. 심부지하수는 알카리성의 Na-HCO$_3$형에서 Na(Ca)-HCO$_3$형의 화학적 유형이며, 2 TU 이하의 삼중수소 함량으로 1950년대 이전에 함양된 비교적 오랜 물-암석 상호반을 거친 물로 판단된다. 반면 천부형 지하수는 1950년대 이후에 충전된 상당히 젊은 연령의 지하수로 보인다. $^{18}$ O/$^{16}$ O, D/H 환경동위원소 조성값으로 볼 때 심부지하수의 함양지역은 고도의 효과를 보인다. 이 연구결과는 농촌지역의 지하수 수질 오염에 대한 하나의 사례연구로 향후 전국을 대상으로 한 농어촌지역의 지하수 오염연구에 기본방향을 제시하는데 의의 가 있을 것이다.

The purpose of this study is to raise the drinking rate of Arisu, the tap water in Seoul, and to propose new solution for continuous water quality management and raising awareness. The research scope was limited to point-of-use water treatment system, and based on the this contents I proceed this study how this will help to increase direct drinking rate of Arisu. Through research, Korea has provided users with the ability to filter contaminated tap water simply as water to be rinsed through water purification. Therefore, it was predicted that it would be difficult to improve tap water as drinking water. With this study, I expect that the strength of point-of-use system and the reliability of tap water quality will be raised and hope various product will be developed to improve the perception as drinking water and I also expect that this can be applied to whole country even further in the scope of Seoul city.

This study identified key patents on U.S. underground water technology through patent network analysis. As a result, there were many technologies that used the technology to remove heavy metals to prevent contamination of groundwater. While patents between groundwater technology patents were in charge of intermediaries, the connectivity between groundwater technologies is not high. The patented technologies related to groundwater were largely distinguishable by pumping, monitoring, and decontamination. Monitoring includes techniques that enable identification of physical and biological properties, such as the type of contaminants, as well as geographic characteristics for analysis of groundwater flow, flow or water quality. Pollution purification technology refers to the process of physiochemical and biological purification for soil and groundwater. U.S. technology cases showed that the U.S. had high technology in water treatment area. And patent protection were also needed to cope with water shortages caused by climate change.

This paper attempts to incorporate three important factors-perceptions, behavior and valuation-in analysing consumers' responses to health risks from environmental pollutants. Using a survey sample of 500 consumers in the Chonbuk province area, this paper empirically investigated determinants of risk perceptions from using tap water as drinking water. Most consumers were considerably concerned about health risks from drinking tap water. Moreover, those subjective concerns were not random, but were systematically related to individuals' demographic variables such as age, gender, and family size. Those subjective beliefs also influenced respondents' purchase intentions on safer water bottles, in response to a contingent behavior question of presenting two types of water bottles. The technical risk information provided in the survey had significant effects on purchase intentions only when it was interacted with respondents' actual averting practice. In addition, the sample selection effects were present by eliminating respondents who decided not to purchase either of two types of water bottles. The potential selection bias had impacts on the coefficients of the price difference variable, and subsequently the estimates of the price increments for health risk reductions.

Recently, it is increasing that a issue of concern about radiation exposure. It affects soil, water, air, crops, etc., and in the long term, environmental pollution and food pollution occur, and it is considered to cause social problems and economic damage. Radiation exposure causes diseases and health problems, but as a method for diagnosing diseases, nuclear medicine tests such as X-ray imaging, CT, and PET-CT are conducted, and radiation isotopes are exposed for the purpose of cancer treatment. A Hungarian case study on radiation in water, particularly drinking water, following the release of radioactive waste from Fukushima, and an examination of the Larsemann Hills area in Antarctica, found that it was within the prescribed radioactivity limits of drinking water recommended by the World Health Organization. We looked at radioprotective agents, focusing on DNA damage, cell and organ damage, and cancer, and also investigated various literatures on ACE inhibitors, antioxidants, and natural substances among restoration materials. Although exposed to radiation in everyday life, the reason why it can be safe is probably because there is a radiation protection material and a recovery material for radiation exposure, so we are trying to find possible materials.

설상가상이다 지난해 연말 발표된 서울시의 위생검사 결과가 또 다시 자판기 산업계에 악영향을 미쳤다. 원인은 율무차에 있었다. 커피자판기에서 주음료 판매되는 커피는 세균오염으로 인한 위생 문제가 없었다. 반면 구색상품이라 할 수 있는 율무차가 심각한 세균오염으로 음용 부적합 판정을 받은 비율이 높았다. 메인이 아닌 구색음료 하나 때문에 전체 이미지가 흐려지니 억울한 측면이 강하다. 어쨌든 누누히 반복되는 커피자판기 비위생문제를 좌시만하고 있을 수는 없다. 이제 잘못된 부분들은 적극적으로 개선해 나가지 않으면 점점 입지가 좁아질 수밖에 없다. 과연 지난 서울시 위생점검은 커피 자판기 분야에 어떠한 시사점을 남겼을까?

대전광역시에 분포하는 민방위 비상용 지하수 급수시설은 현재 총 225개소가 확보되어 있고 확보된 수량은 약 51,597톤/일이다. 비상용 지하수 중 정부지원시설은 년간 4회에 걸쳐 수질분석을 실시하고 있다. 1996년∼1999년 사이에 수질분석 내용을 보면 약 36% 정도가 음용수 부적합한 것으로 나타났다. 주요 부적합 항목으로 일반세균, 대장균, 질산성질소, 불소 등이다. 수질분석자료를 근거로 보면 동구와 중구의 구도심권의 수질이 나쁜 상태이고, 도시계획도상 녹지지역이 가장 많은 유성구가 가장 좋은 수질특성을 보인다. 대덕구는 공단지역 등을 중심으로 수질이 저하되어 있고, 서구는 신도시보다는 기존도심지의 지하수의 수질이 저하되어 있음을 보이는데, 이는 대전시 지하수의 수질특성이 토지이용 및 도시발달과 밀접한 관계가 있음을 시사한다. 이러한 대전 지하수의 수질 향상을 위하여, 부적합 판정을 받은 급수시설에 대해서는 정밀한 조사를 통하여 오염물질의 종류와 농도변화, 오염의 원인, 오염물의 확산 등에 대한 정밀조사를 실시한 후, 오염정화를 통한 복구나 폐공처리 조치 또는 관측정으로의 전환 등을 모색하여야 할 것이다. 그리고 표본지역에 대한 양수시험결과 기록된 지하수량과 실제치에서 상당한 차이를 보여주어 비상급수시설에 대한 정확한 1일 적정 채수량을 다시 산정할 필요가 있다.
