폐기물과 오염물질 투기로 인해 발생된 오염지의 복원은 1980년대 초반 미국이 본격적으로 시도하여 현장조사, 위해도 평가, 타당성 검토의 3단계를 거쳐 복원대책을 수립하는 정형이 이루어졌다. 이 정형에서는 먼저 현장조사로 오염상태에 대한 자료를 수집하고 위해도 평가로 오염도가 인체와 환경에 미치는 위해도를 정량화하며 타당성 검토에서 위해도를 제거하기 위한 각종대안을 검토하여 최종안을 선정한다. 이 과정 자체는 합리적이었으나 여러 가지 시행착오를 거치며 과잉대책이 남발되고 사업효과도 미흡하여 점차 예산낭비의 대표적인 사례로 비판이 제기되었다. 시행착오의 가장 큰 기술적 원인은 위해도 평가와 별개로 타당성 검토를 수행하며 비현실적인 완벽복원을 추구한 탓이며 이를 극복하려는 최적화 기법이 90년대 초반에 소개되었다. 이 최적화기법은 타당성 검토단계에서 각 대안의 잔류 위해도를 산정하고 해당대안의 비용과 비교하여 위해도를 허용수준으로 줄이는 최소비용 대안을 발견하는 방법이다. 이 최적화기법을 실제 프로젝트에 적용한 결과 복원대책 수행에 기대 이상의 비용절감을 이루고 정부의 수용도도 높았다. 특히 정비대책에 현장조건의 특성을 활용하는 창의적 대안을 도입하면 효과를 극대화 할 수 있는 바 두 가지 사례를 소개하였다. 앞으로 상당한 투자가 예상되는 폐광오염 문제에도 이 기법을 적용하면 비용과 효과를 최적화할 수 있을 것으로 기대되어 그 모델을 제시하였다.

가축사료가 인간의 건강 위해의 잠재적 원인의 하나라고 생각되지 않았던 것이, 치근 다양한 식품안전 위기로부터 사료도 식품안전과 관련이 있다는 것이 명백하게 되었다. 소해면상뇌증(일명 광우병)의 발생이 반추동물에 포유동물 육골분사료 급여와 관련되어 인간의 CJD 와의 관련가능성, 1998년 citrus pulp의 다이옥신 오염사례, 2001년의 사료의 다이옥신 오염과 농장에 영향을 미친 가축사료의 호르몬(MPA) 오염 등이 가축사료 안전성과 관련된 사례가 유럽 도처에 있었다. 이러한 사건의 모두는 가축사료의 안전에 대한 주의를 필요로 하고 있다. 이러한 특정의 문제 외에 가축사료와 관련하는 잠재적 위해를 주는 것은 마이코톡신(사료원료의 곰팡이 생성으로 인한)을 포함하여 살모넬라균속과 같은 전염성 물질, 제초제, 살균제등의 농약잔류 및 산업/환경 등에 의한 다른 외부 오염물(수은, PCB, 납, 카드뮴) 등이 있다. 가축과 인간의 건강에 잠재적인 영향과 사료품질은 농장에서 사료 원인 작물의 성장에서부터 곡물 수확 시까지 모든 단계에서 좋은 상황에서 이루어져야 하고, 농장에서부터 철저하게 관리하는 사료의 안전한 이용을 위한 가이드라인이 설정되어 있다.

Samples of 13 vegetables were collected, between 14 July and 6 August, 1971, from 15 markets located in 12 different cities and analyzed for Heptachlor residues by gas liquid chromatograph. The residue concentrations of Heptachlor and its epoxide were estimated separately, at a sensitivity level of 0.001 p.p.m., to produce Heptachlor residues on the fresh weight basis. The Heptachlor residues in or on the crops analyzed, including three staple vegetables, potatoe, radish and chinese cabbage, were found fairly low and are far lower than the residue tolerences for respective vegetables recommended jointly by FAO and WHO of the United Nations.

Recently, users' complaints on drinking water quality are increasing according to emerging interest in the drinking water service issues such as pipe aging and various water quality accidents. In the case of drinking water quality complaints, not only the water pollution but also the inconvenience on the chlorine residual for disinfection are included, thus various efforts, such as rechlorination treatment, are being attempted in order to keep the chlorine concentration supplied evenly. In this research, for a more accurate water quality simulation of water distribution network, the water quality reaction coefficients were estimated, and an optimization method of chlorination/ rechlorination scheduling was proposed consideirng satisfaction of water quality standards and chlorine residual equalization. The proposed method was applied to a large-scale real water network, and various chlorination schemes were comparatively analyzed through the grid search algorithm and optimized based on the suitability and uniformity of supplied chlorine residual concentration.

The aim of this study was to determine the residual amounts of PAHs in environmental samples such as crop, soil and water collected from paddy, upland fields and forestlands near industrial zone and/or a thermal power plant in South Korea. All of the samples were analyzed by GC-mass spectrometer. The average contents of total PAHs in soil samples were 140.2 ${\mu}g\;kg^{-1}$ and the range was from 4.3 to $662.9{\mu}g\;kg^{-1}$. The detection of benzo(a)anthracene, chrysene, benzo(b)fluoranthene, benzo(k)fluoranthene, benzo(a)pyrene and dibenzo(a,h) anthracene which have strong carcinogenecity was ranged from 14.2 to 167.8 ${\mu}g\;kg^{-1}$. The residual amounts and detection frequency of PAHs in soil samples from the iron and heavy industrial areas near Pohang and Busan were 3-folds more than those of the other areas. Amounts of PAHs in upland soil samples was 1.5 folds higher than those of paddy soil samples, suggesting that it may be related to the content of organic matter in soil. The average contents of total PAHs in crop samples were 9.7 ${\mu}g\;kg^{-1}$ which ranged from 4.5 to 52.2 ${\mu}g\;kg^{-1}$. However, the residual amounts of PAHs in water samples were not detected. These results showed that soils and crops were slightly contaminated with PAHs. Therefore, the investigation should be continued for evaluating a safety or risk assessment through expansion of regions and crops.

Batch experiments were performed to determine the feasibility of the surfactant-enhanced soil washing process at various washing conditions for the Kuwait soil seriously contaminated with the crude oil. The soil was sampled at a dried oil pond in Kuwait and its average TPH concentration was 223,754 mg/kg, which was too high to apply the conventional remediation process. Nine commercialized non-ionic surfactants were used for the batch experiment to measure the surfactant solubility for the crude oil because it was reported that they have worked for the soil remediation. Among them, three surfactants having high crude oil solubility were used for the soil washing experiment. From the result of batch experiment, 5% TritonX-100 washing solution showed the highest TPH removal efficiency (67%) for the crude oil contaminated soil. However, because the residual TPH concentration in the washed soil was still higher than the clean-up level in Kuwait (10,000 mg/kg), the repeated soil washing was performed. After five washings with 2% surfactant solution, the cumulative TPH removal efficiency was higher than 96% and the residual TPH concentration in the soil went down below the clean-up level. To measure the desorption capacity of TritonX-100 remained in the soil after the soil washing, the silica beads and the soil were washed five times with 2% TritonX-100 surfactant solution and then they were washed again with distilled water to detach the surfactant adsorbed on beads or soil. After five washings with surfactant solution, 7.8% and 19.6% of the surfactant was adsorbed on beads and soil, respectively. When additionally washed with distilled water, most of the residual surfactant were detached from beads and only 4.3% of surfactant was remained in soil. From the results, it was investigated that the surfactant-enhanced soil washing process with TritonX-100, Tergitol S-15-7, and Tergitol S-15-9 has a great capability for the remediation of the Kuwait soil seriously contaminated by crude oil (more than 220,000 mg/kg).

Monitoring of pesticide residues were conducted at three sites in the Southern Area of Seoul, Korea (Gang-nam, Gang-dong and Song-pa). We measured pesticide residues within soil samples using multi-pesticide residues analysis. Samples were collected at the three sites with 60 sampling spots. The amount of pesticide residues in the soil samples were as follows [(minimum-maximum), mg/kg] endosulfan 0.002-0.999, procymidone 0.002-1.200, diazinon 0.003-0.024, metalaxyl 0.012-0.075. In soil treated with 0.445 mg/kg of endosulfan, the pesticide absorbed by chamnamul, was 0.157 mg/kg (Absorption rate : 35.3%). However, in soil treated with 0.358 mg/kg of endosulfan, the pesticide absorbed by lettuce, was 0.004 mg/kg (Absorption rate : 1.1%).

골프장이 농약을 사용하여 환경오염을 일으킨다는 일부의 주장은 전혀 과학적인 자료와 사실적인 결과에 근거하지 않고 막연한 우려와 일부 자료들을 단순 비교하는데서 유발된 오해가 많다. 엄격한 사용규제를 안전장치가 이중삼중이어서 무분별한 사용을 할 수도 없다.
