This study presents O/D based emission estimation model and methodology under cold- and hot-start conditions. Contrasting with existing link-based model, new model is able to estimate cold-start emissions with actual traffic characteristics. The results of the case study with new model show similar amount of emission with existing model under hot-start conditions, but five times much more than existing model under cold-start conditions. The annual social benefit estimated by this model is 56.2 hundred million won, which is 48% higher than the result from existing model. It means current green transportation policies are undervalued in terms of air quality improvement. Therefore, New model is expected to improve the objectivity of air quality evaluation results regarding green transportation policies and be applied in various transportation-environment policies.

오염원과 취수원이 인접한 위치에 존재하는 국내 하천 같은 경우 취수 시설의 안전한 관리를 위하여 오염물의 2차원 혼합 거동에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 하천에서의 오염물 혼합 거동을 분석하기 위하여 일반적으로 농도와 분산 정보 수집을 위한 추적자 실험을 수행해왔다. 기존에 수행된 추적자 실험들은 형광염료, 방사선 물질, 고형 물질 등과 같은 추적자를 인위적으로 주입하여 사용하였다. 그러나 수온, 전기전도도(electrical conductivity), 이온화 물질 등과 같은 자연 추적자(natural tracers)를 이용하는 추적자 실험은 인공추적자 물질을 대체할 수 있는 방안으로서, 기존 추적자 실험과 비교하여 경제적, 환경적인 효과와 하폭이 넓은 중규모 이상의 하천에서도 수행할 수 있다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 진천천과 금호강이 합류하는 낙동강 중류 구간에서 횡혼합 연구를 위하여 전기 전도도 추적 실험을 수행하였다. 강정고령보 직하류에서 낙동강 좌안쪽에서 합류하는 금호강과 진천천의 경우 인근 공업단지와 하폐수처리장으로부터 많은 비점오염원과 점오염원이 유입된다. 두곳의 지류에서 모두 높게 측정되었던 전기전도도를 자연 추적자로 선택하였다. 지류의 경우 전기전도도를 측정할 수 있는 센서를 측정 지점에 설치하여 측정하였으며, 본류인 낙동강의 경우 정해진 측선을 따라 센서가 고정된 보트를 이동하며 데이터를 취득하였다. 지류인 금호강과 진천천의 경우, 합류 전 전기전도도의 농도의 횡분포는 균일한 분포를 나타냈으며 농도의 평균값은 합류 전 낙동강 본류의 기저농도 보다 더 높은 값을 나타내었다. 지류 합류 이후의 낙동강 본류에서는 지류로부터 유입된 오염물질로 인하여 횡방향으로 불균등한 전기전도도 농도 분포를 나타내었으며 오염물질이 점점 하류 쪽으로 이동하면서, 횡방향 농도경사의 크기가 줄어들었다. 유관모멘트법을 농도곡선에 적용하여 횡방향 분산계수를 산정하였다. 산정된 횡분산계수의 값은 Rutherford (1994)가 제안한 분산계수의 범위에 포함되는 것으로 나타났다.

현재 우리 나라에서는 수송분야 중 항공기, 선박, 건설기계 농기계 등과 같은 비토로 이동오염원에 의한 대기오염에 대해서는 연구가 부진한 실정이다. 2001년 김포공항을 이용하던 국제선 항공기는 인천국제공항의 개항에 따라 이전하게 되었다. 이에 따라 항공기 이착륙에 의한 대기오염 배출이 상당 부분 김포지역에서 인천 영종도지역으로 이전되었을 것으로 예상된다. 본 연구에서는 미국 FAA에서 공항의 대기오염배출량 산출 및 주변지역의 농도예측에 선정모델로 추천하고 있는 EDMS (Emission and Dispersion Modeling System)을 사용하여 국제선 이전에 따른 김포공항 주변지역의 NOx 오염도 변화를 예측하고 이를 실측치와 비교 평가하고자 한다.

최근 심화되고 있는 대도시 오존오염의 저감 실현시키기 위한 가장 중요한 과제로 오존의 생성과 관련 있는 전구물질(precursor)에 대한 제어과정이 대두되고 있다. 따라서 오존전구물질의 주요 배출원인 자동차배출 VOCs에 대해 정확한 총 배출량을 파악하고, VOCs의 각 성분별 배출구성비를 파악하는 것은 오존생성반응을 모사ㆍ예측하고 대기중 오존 오염을 제어하는데 있어서 필수적이라 하겠다. 그러나 국내에서는 자동차등 이동오염원에 대한 배출실태조사가 이루어지지 않아 배출원 관리에 어려움이 있는 실정이다. (중략)

In the present study, space allocation methods of pollutant emission from area and mobile sources are assessed by the actual application to air quality modeling of Pohang area. It is found that the TM-based modeling which allocates emission onto the 1km x 1km sized TM-grid system predicts almost the same mean ground-level concentration as that by the GIS-based modeling which uses geographical information of area and mobile sources directly, while maximum ground-level concentration by the TM-based modeling is predicted considerably lower than that by the GIS-based modeling. Moreover, the problem is found that the TM-based modeling causes deviation of mobile roads. In conclusion, it is anticipated to applying GIS-based modeling for a more accurate assessment of air quality in local scale.

In meteorology Korea has 2/3 of rain of annual total rainfall at the month of Jun through Sept and it has possibility to have serious flood damage because geographically it is composed of mountainous area with steep slope which account for 70% of its country. Also, the increase of impervious layer due to industrialization and urbanization causes direct runoff, which deteriorates contamination of rivers by moving the contaminated material on the surface at the beginning of rain. In particular, the area of leisure facilities needs the management of water quality absolutely because dense population requires space of park function and place to relax and increases moving capability of non-point pollution source. For disposition of rainfall & runoff, the standard of initial rainfall, which is to be used for the computation of disposition volume, is significant factors for the runoff study of non-point pollution source, Until now, a great deal of study has been done by many researchers. However, it is the current reality that the characteristics of runoff varies according to land protection comprising river basin and the standard of initial rainfall by each researcher is not clearly defined yet. Therefore, in this research, it is suggested that, with the introduction of SOM (Self-Organizing Map), the standard of initial rainfall be determined after analyzing each sectional data by executing pattern classification about runoff and water quality data measured at the test river basin for this research.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the current status of automatic measuring systems for air pollution emissions in Seoul and to suggest an improvement method using GIS and GPS. In Korea, there have been very few critical researches and managements for mobile and area sources regarding moving subjects such as automobiles. In order to control or to make a plan for reducing air pollutions, air pollution emission data based on tim and location, emission inventory systems and emission models should be implemented. Using digital maps and MS Visual Basic, we developed a visualized interface for air pollution emission data from automatic emission measurement systems in Seoul.

Three dimensional Monte-Carlo simulations of non-ergodic transport of a lion-reactive solute plume by steady-state groundwater flow under a uniform mean velocity in isotropic heterogeneous aquifers were conducted. The log-normally distributed hydraulic conductivity, K(x), is modeled as a random field. Significant efforts are made to reduce tile simulation uncertainties. Ensemble averages of the second spatial moments of the plume and plume centroid variances were simulated with 1600 Monte Carlo runs for three variances of log K, ${\sigma}_Y^2=0.09,\;0.23$, and 0.46, and three dimensionless lengths of line plume sources normal to the mean velocity. The simulated second spatial moment and the plume centroid variance in longitudinal direction fit well to the first order theoretical results while the simulated transverse moments are generally larger than the first order results. The first order theoretical results significantly underestimated the simulated dimensionless transverse moments for the aquifers of large ${\sigma}_Y^2$ and large dimensionless time. The ergodic condition for the second spatial moments is far from reaching in all cases simulated, and transport In transverse directions may reach ergodic condition much slower than that in longitudinal direction. The evolution of the contaminant transported in a heterogeneous aquifer is not affected by the shape of the initial plume but affected mainly by the degree of the heterogeneity and the size of the initial plume.

Concerns on the air pollution problem caused by ambient fine particles have become a big social issue in Korea. Important factors that should be addressed to develop effective and efficient air quality management policy, especially, against fine particles are discussed and research and policy directions to address these factors are suggested. It is suggested that two factors are in high priority; one is scientific understanding of the major formation mechanisms of fine particles and the other is the process of policy decision and implementation. For the scientific understanding, smog chamber measurement, intensive field study, and chemical transport model development that can simulate the characteristics of Northeast Asia are considered to be important. For the policy directions, priority setting of the proposed policies and development and implement of effective communication sytem are considered to be important.

An artificial rainwater reservoir installed in urban areas for recycling rainwater is an eco-friendly facility for reducing storm water effluence. However, in order to recycle the rainwater directly, the artificial rainwater reservoir requires an auxiliary system that can remove non-point source pollutants included in the initial rainfall of urban area. Therefore, the conventional soil filtration technology is adopted to capture non-point source pollutants in an economical and efficient way in the purification system of artificial rainwater reservoirs. In order to satisfy such a demand, clogging characteristics of the sand filter layers with different grain-size distributions were studied with real non-point source pollutants. For this, a series of lab-scale chamber tests were conducted to make a prediction model for removal of non-point source pollutants, based on the clogging theory. The laboratory chamber experiments were carried out by permeating two types of artificially contaminated water through five different types of sand filter layers with different grain-size distributions. The two artificial contaminated waters were made by fine marine-clay particles and real non-point source pollutants collected from motorcar roads of Seoul, Korea. In the laboratory chamber experiments, the concentrations of the artificial contaminated water were measured in terms of TSS (Total Suspended Solids) and COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) and compared with each other to evaluate the performance of sand filter layers. In addition, the accumulated weight of pollutant particles clogged in the sand filter layers was estimated. This paper suggests a prediction model for removal of non-point source pollutants with theoretical consideration of the physical characteristics such as the grain-size distribution and composition, and change in the hydraulic conductivity and porosity of sand filter layers. The lumped parameter ${\theta}$ related with the clogging property was estimated by comparing the accumulated weight of pollutant particles obtained from the laboratory chamber experiments and calculated from the prediction model based on the clogging theory. It is found that the lumped parameter ${\theta}$ has a significant influence on the amount of the pollutant particles clogged in the pores of sand filter layers. In conclusion, according to the clogging prediction model, a double-sand-filter layer consisting of two separate layers: the upper sand-filter layer with the effective particle size of 1.49 mm and the lower sand-filter layer with the effective particle size of 0.93 mm, is proposed as the optimum system for removing non-point source pollutants in the field-sized artificial rainwater reservoir.
