To use chlorine residual as an surrogate parameter of the water quality change during the transportation in the water distribution system(WDS), the correct prediction model of chlorine residual must be established in advance. This paper shows the procedure and the result of applying the water quality model to the field WDS. To begin with, hydraulic model was calibrated and verified using fluoride as an tracer. And chlorine residual was predicted through simulation of water quality model. This predicted value was compared with the observed value. With adjusting the bulk decay coefficient(kb) and the wall decay coefficient(kw) according to the pipewall environment, the predicted chlorine residual can represent the observed value relatively well.

수돗물의 염소소독 과정에서 부식질의 초기 분해생성물인 MX(Mutagen X)는 수돗물의 전체 돌연변이유발성의 최고 60%까지 차지하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 존재하는 농도는 수 ng/L로 정량분석을 위해서는 resin을 사용하여 10 ~ 20L의 물을 농축하여야 한다. 이 연구에서 MX의 농축에 사용된 resin은 XAD-4와 XAD-7HP의 1:1 mixture이었으며, 사용 전에 Soxhlet extractor를 사용하여 ethyl acetate와 methanol로 각각 12시간씩 세척하였다. 15L의 물 시료는 37%의 염산으로 pH 2에 맞춘 후 직경 2cm의 유리관에 15cm의 높이로 채워진 resin을 40mL/min의 유속으로 통과시켰다. 유리관에 잔류하는 물은 질소가스로 대부분 불어 제거한 후 ethyl acetate 200mL를 가해 1mL/min의 유속으로 흘려주어 MX를 용출시킨 후 회전증발기로 5mL의 부피까지 농축시키고 10% H$_2$SO$_4$ in MeOH 0.1mL를 가하여 6$0^{\circ}C$에서 methyl ester화하였다. 과포화된 $Na_2$SO$_4$ 수용액 0.3ml를 가한 후 MTBE 0.3mL로 추출하고 GC/ECD로 분석하였다. MX의 회수율은 60% 이상이었으며 일부수돗물 시료에 대해 분석하였다.

Wastewater discharged by industrial activities of metal finishing and electroplating units is often contaminated by a variety of toxic or otherwise harmful substances which have a negative effects on the water environment. The treatment method of heavy metal-cyanide complexes wastewater by alkaline chlorination have already well-known($1^{st}$ Oxidation: pH 10, reaction time 30 min, ORP 350 mV, $2^{nd}$ Oxidation: ORP 650 mV). In this case, the efficiency for the removal of ferro/ferri cyanide by this general alkaline chlorination is very high as 99%. But the permissible limit of Korean waste-water discharge couldn't be satisfied. The initial concentration of cyanide was 374 mg/L(the Korean permissible limit of cyanide is 1.0 mg/L max.). So a particular focus was given to the treatment of heavy metal-cyanide complexes wastewater by $Zn^{+2}/Fe^{+2}$ ion and coprecipitation after alkaline chlorination. And we could meet the Korean permissible limit of cyanide(the final concentration of cyanide: 0.30 mg/L) by $Zn^{+2}/Fe^{+2}$ ion and coprecipitation(reaction time: 30 min, pH: 8.0, rpm: 240). The removal of Chromium ion by reduction(pH: 2.0 max, ORP: 250 mV) and the precipitation of metal hydroxide(pH: 9.5) is treated as 99% of removal efficiency. The removal of Copper and Nickel ion has been treated by $Na_2S$ coagulation-flocculation as 99% min of the efficiency(pH: $9.09\sim10.0$, dosage of $Na_2S:0.5\sim3.0$ mol). It is important to note that the removal of ferro/ferri cyanide of heavy metal-cyanide complexes wastewater should be employed by $Zn^{+2}/Fe^{+2}$ ion and coprecipitation as well as the alkaline chlorination for the Korean permissible limit of waste-water discharge.

This study aimed to investigate the concentration distributions and formation characteristics of trihalomethanes (THMs) in drinking water supplies to rural communities. Water samples were collected twice from 40 rural households located on the outskirts of Chuncheon city of Gangwon Province in the summers of 2010 and 2011, and urban drinking water samples were collected from 20 faucets during the same period in 2011 for comparison purpose. Water temperature, pH, and residual chlorine (total and free) concentrations were measured in the field, and samples were analyzed for dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and THM concentrations in the laboratory. The average DOC concentrations in rural water samples were not greatly different between groundwater (n = 20) and surface water (n = 20) which were used as sources for drinking water (1.81 vs. 1.91 mg/L). However, the average concentrations of total THMs (TTHMs) in groundwater ($9.77{\mu}g/L$) were much higher than those in surface water ($2.85{\mu}g/L$) and similar to those in urban drinking water samples ($10.8{\mu}g/L$). Unlike urban water supply, rural water (particularly groundwater) contained more brominated THM species such as dibromochloromethane (DBCM), suggesting its relatively high content of bromide ion (Br-). This study showed that rural water supplies have different THM formation characteristics from urban water supplies, probably due to their differences in source water quality properties.

From July to November 1999, air samples were collected from Ansung, Korea, to identify the seasonal variation in organochlorine pesticides(OCPs). OCPs maximum(mean) concentrations were as follows: heptachlor, $14.0\;pg/m^3(3.6\;pg/m^3)$; heptachlor epoxide, $28.7\;pg/m^3(11.7\;pg/m^3)$; DDE, $40.6\;pg/m^3(20.6\;pg/m^3)$; endosulfan sulfate, $98.9\;pg/m^3(36.6\;pg/m^3)$. The higher concentration of the locally and seasonally used pesticide endosulfan[1759.2 $pg/m^3(453.4\;pg/m^3)$] was found. The concentrations of all OCPs were higher in summer than those in fall. This pattern suggests that the concentrations may be increased by evaporation from surfaces(soil, water, vegetation, etc) with increasing the temperature and by much usage in growing season, particularly in summer, for endosulfan.

Usage and residue of pesticide were sureyed for five years from three golf courses which have morethan eighteenholes inKangwon-do from 1992 to 1996. A total of 186 samples(soils, lawns, effluents) were collected from these courses and residual levels of four kinds of organochlorines and twelve kinds of organophosphorus pesticides in each samples were determined by GC-ECD and GC-NPD. The amount of pesticide used in each golf course was 1, 635.6kg a year on the average, and that of pesticide to the green and the fairway were 33g/$\textrm{m}^2$ and 3g/$\textrm{m}^2$, respectively. The pesticide which was not permitted for the management of golf course was detected in 24 of 186 samples and its detection rate was 12.9%. The average pesticide residue in soils was 0.208 ppm for captan, 0.031 ppm for daconil, respectively. Detection rate of the prohibited pesticides has decreased every year since 1992, and there were no residues all the tested samples in 1996.Based on these results, it might be judged investigation methods of pesticide residue should be changed with current using pesticide from the prohibited pesticides and the criteria of residual pesticides in effluents of golf course also should be established.

대기압 플라즈마는 공기중에서 방전이 가능하고, 이때 생성되는 활성산소종(ROS)과 활성질소종(RNS)을 적절히 이용하면 살균은 물론 제독이 가능하다. 특히 신경작용제나 수포작용제 등의 화학물질은 박테리아 포자, 세균, 바이러스 등의 생물작용제에 비해 더 많은 에너지와 시간이 요구된다. 현재 군이나 의료 시설에서는 과산화수소를 이용한 제독이나 염소계 표백제 성분으로 구성된 수용성 제독제를 이용하지만, 플라즈마의 경우는 단순히 기체를 방전하여 제독에 이용할 수 있으므로 보다 제독 시스템을 간단하게 구성할 수 있다. 하지만 대기압 방전시 방전전압을 낮추기 위해 헬륨과 알곤등의 기체를 공급하여 사용할 경우 부가적인 시스템의 규모가 커져 활용에 제한이 따른다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 대기중에 존재하는 질소, 산소 등을 이온화시키기 위해 10-25kHz의 주파수에서 4.5kV의 8us 펄스전원을 인가하여 공기 플라즈마를 얻고, 열에 의한 분해효과를 제거하기 위해 플라즈마의 기체온도를 20도로 유지시켰다. 플라즈마의 특성은 방출광 분석법을 이용하여 떨림온도를 계산하였고, 질소와 오존의 농도를 동시에 관찰하였다. 분해된 화학작용제는 기체분석기(Gas Chromatography)를 통해 표준 오염농도대비 잔류한 양을 측정함으로써 제독효율을 계산하였다.

Langelier Index (LI) is used as a tap water corrosiveness index. Residual chlorine in tap water induces corrosion inside water pipes. This study takes a deeper look into the effect of residual chlorine in water pipes. Comparison between tap waters of Y and K water treatment plant (WTP) shows that the LI index of K WTP is lower than that of Y. However, the corrosion rate of Y WTP is higher than that of K WTP. This means that the higher the concentration of residual chlorine in tap water, the higher the corrosion rate of pipe materials. When calcium hydroxide was added to tap water, the corrosiveness index was improved and thus the corrosion rate reduced. It is possible to increase the disinfection efficiency by increasing the duration of residual chlorine and suppressing the rust generation of water pipes and to supply minerals. A guideline for corrosion control with residual chlorine should be set up. The effects of residual chlorine should be included in the corrosiveness index of tap water.

This study was conducted to estimate the effects of residual chlorine dioxide ($CIO_2$) in chlorinated seawater on survival and physiological responses (hematocrit: Ht, hemoglobin: Hb, serum electrolyte and glucose levels, and osmolality) of olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus. All the flounders were exposed for 10 min to different concentrations of residual $CIO_2$ just after chlorination for 1 min in each experimental aquarium (EA). ClO$_2$-free seawater was continuously supplied to each EA after 10 min exposure to $CIO_2$. By means of probit analysis, the median lethal times (LT$_{50}$, min) of flounder exposed to 0.43 and 0.51 ppm $CIO_2$, were at 103 and 32 min, respectively. In the range from 0.34 to 0.51 ppm $CIO_2$, the values of Ht, Hb, electrolytes and osmolality of fish exposed to $CIO_2$ were significantly elevated as elapsed time and residual concentrations of $CIO_2$ increased after chlorination. The levels of Ht, Hb, electrolytes and osmolality in flounder exposed to 0.27 ppm $CIO_2$ were not significantly different compared to control fish, which were maintained in $CIO_2$-free seawater; however, the levels of serum glucose were significantly increased with elapse times.

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are ubiquitous environmental contaminants, found in the many environments. PCBs exerts various toxicological effects, including endocrine-disrupting activity. Most researches with these toxicants performed with soil matrix with mixtures of congeners, namely Aroclor, while the biological activities have been tested with animals. However, studies with pure congeners are limited. In this study, 5 congeners were synthesized and their fates (bioaccumulation, degradation, kinetics) were studied in carrot-soil system. The soil half-lives of biphenyl, PCB-1, PCB-3, PCB-77, and PCB-126 were 20.2, 16.0, 11.6, 46.5, 198.0 days, respectively. In general, the longer half-lives were observed with the higher hydrophoicity of PCBs. Times, required for maxium accumulation of PCBs in carrot (Tmax) were 10-20 days for most congeners and the concentrations were 0.4-2.6 mg/kg. The concentrations of PCBs in carrot were kept as constant after Tmax, except PCB-126. The concentration ratio between carrot and soil after 90 days of treatment were 1.7, 8.1, 1.9, 1.8, and 5.9 for biphenyl, PCB-1, PCB-3, PCB-77, and PCB-126. Because of the increase of biomass, the total residual amount of PCBs in carrots however, increased till the end of experiment. The portions of PCB-126 in carrot were 1.1% of the soil residues at 90 days after planting.
