In order to estimate the uranium flux from seawater to sediments, we took pore water samples and deployed benthic chambers on seafloor of Chonsu Bay, Korea. The uranium flux across the sediment-water interface was estimated from the pore water to be 0.112-0.566 mg/$m^2yr$, corresponding to a removal flux of $4.3-21.5{\times}10^7$ gU/yr for the entire Yellow Sea. Nutrient fluxes from sediment to bottom water were estimated to be 135.6 mmol/$m^2yr$ for ammonia, 228.2 mmol/$m^2yr$ for nitrate, 36.8 mmol/$m^2yr$ for phosphate and 23.9 mmol/$m^2yr$ for silicate. The redox boundary, based on the distribution of pore water nitrate and solid phase manganese, was located at 3-5 cm below the sediment surface. Phosphate flux obtained by benthic chambers was 28.S mmol/$m^2yr$. On the other hand, estimates of uranium and silicate fluxes were orders of magnitude greater than those based on pore water profiles. Flux estimates on the basis of pore water concentration is believed to have greater reliability than those obtained from benthic chamber data.

The relationship between bacteria and anaerobic archaea, sludge yield coefficient and nitrogen removal rate were investigated in intermittent aeration systems(I/A) with added archaea, I/A and conventional activated sludge system. As the archaea solution was added to the I/A reactor, organic removal rate as well as nitrogen removal rate increased. Also, sludge production rate in I/A system added the archaea was maintained lower than other systems because sludge yield coefficient was decreased due to the role of anaerobic archaea such as anaerobic degradation of organics. The experimental data supported the possibility of symbiotic activated sludge system with anaerobic archaea under intermittent aeration, leading to the enhanced nitrogen removal. Crucial results to be presented are: 1) specific oxygen utilization rate(SOUR) of the I/A-arch system was $2.9\;mg-O_2/(g-VSS{\cdot}min)$. SOUR and nitrification rate of the sludge from the I/A-arch system was higher than those from the I/A and A/S reactors. 2) Removal efficiencies of $TCOD_{Cr}$ in the I/A-arch, I/A and A/S reactors were 93, 90 and 87%, respectively. 3) Nitrification occurred successfully in each reactor, while denitrification rate was much higher in the I/A-arch reactor. Efficiencies of TN removal in the I/A-arch, I/A and A/S reactors were 75, 63 and 33%, respectively.

A total of 31 commercial dried marine food products, consisting of 14 fishes, 2 shellfishes and 2 seaweeds species were analyzed for their contents of precusors of N-nitrosamine such as dimethylamine(DMA), trimethylamine(TMA), trimethylamine oxide (TMAO), betaine and nitrate and nitrite nitrogen as factors of N-nitrosamine formation. Carcinogenic N-nitrosamines were extracted by a steam distillation apparatus and were analyzed for their components using a gas chromatography-thermal energy analyzer. N-nitrosodimethylamine(NDMA) was confirmed by a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The contents of betaine nitrogen in samples were in the range of $5.2{\sim}373.8mg\%$ and were significantly higher than tertiary amines such as TMA and TMAO. DMA nitrogen in those samples was in the range of trace-31.2ppm and was high, in the dried shark(31.2ppm), alaska pollack($22.9{\sim}24.3ppm$) and octopus($17.9{\sim}18.4ppm$). In dried laver and sea mustard, however, amines were not detected at all. The levels of nitrate nitrogen in the dried marine samples ranged from zero to 16.8ppm and were high in the dried stingray(16.8ppm), alaska pollack(16.3ppm) and squid($2.2{\sim}12.4ppm$), but were less than 1.0 ppm in other samples. The levels of nitrite nitrogen were lower than those of nitrate nitrogen and it was not detected in dried sea cucumber, laver and sea mustard. Twenty eight of 31 samples contained NDMA($range=1.2{\sim}86.0ppb$), which was the only volatile N-nitroso compound found. The NDMA levels of dried stingray($2.8{\sim}86.0ppb$), alaska pollack($8.2{\sim}55.5ppb$), squid($3.3{\sim}53.2ppb$), yellow corvenia($45.9ppb$) and plain dried shrimp($15.4{\sim}17.9ppb$) were high. However, it was not detected in dried sea cucumber, laver and sea mustard. Samples, containing high levels of NDMA, also contained high nitrate and nitrite nitrogen. From above results, it can be concluded that nitrate and nitrite were major factors for the formation of NDMA in dried marine food products.

To examine effects of drying methods on the formation of N-nitrosamine(NA) in squid during its drying. Three different types of dried products, which were made by sun, hot-air and traditional drying of squid after removal of intestines, were utilized. NA was analyzed by a gas chromatography-thermal energy analyzer. The contents of nitrate and nitrite nitrogen in dried products were in the range of 0 to 5.2mg/kg and 0 to 2.7mg/kg, respectively. The contents of TMAO and betain nitrogen in squid during its drying decreased, while those of TMA and DMA nitrogen increased. The contents in dried products were 27.8~29.2mg% and 10.4~12.3mg/kg, respectively. N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) was only detected in squid during its drying, recovery from raw sample and its dried pro- ducts spiked with 10$\mu\textrm{g}$/kg for NDPA was 81.0~ 100.0%. NDMA in raw samples was found to be below 0.05$\mu\textrm{g}$/kg. The levels of NDMA in squid increased remarkably during its drying and those in dried products were ranged from 2.7 to 42.7$\mu\textrm{g}$/kg. The effects of drying methods in squid were found to be quite different. the levels of NDMA in traditionally dried products were 11~16 and 3~4 times higher than those in sun dried and hot-air dried products, respectively It is believed that high levels of NDMA were detected in traditionally dried products because NDMA was formed from reaction between various amines and nitrogen oxide produced by combustion of briquet during drying of squid.

Atmospheric Acid Deposition: Nitrogen Saturation of Forests: Volume weighted annual average wet deposition of nitroge at 33 sites in Korea during 1999-2004 ranged 7.28 to $21.05kgN{\cdot}ha^{-1}{\cdot}yr^{-1}$ with average $12.78kgN{\cdot}ha^{-1}{\cdot}yr^{-1}$, which values are similar level with nitrogen deposition of Europe and North America. The temperate forests that suffered long-term high atmospheric nitrogen deposition are gradually saturated with nitrogen. Such nitrogen saturated forest watersheds usually leach nitrate ion ($NO_3^-$) in stream water and soil solution. It may be likely that Korean forest ecosystems are saturated by much nitrogen deposition. In leaves with nitrogen saturation ratios of N/P, N/K and N/Mg are so enhanced that mineral nutrient system is disturbed, suffered easily frost damage and blight disease, reduced fine-root vitality and mycorrhizal activity. Consequently nitrogen saturated forests decrease primary productivity and finally become forest decline. Futhermore understory species are replaced the nitrophobous species by the nitrophilous one. In soil with nitrogen saturation uptake of methane ($CH_4$) is reduced and emission of nitrogen monoxide (NO) and nitrous oxide ($N_{2}O$) are increased, which gases are greenhouse gas accelerating global warming.

축산물의 수요가 증가함에 따라 가축의 사육규모 및 두수도 증가하여 가축분뇨의 발생량이 증가한다. 가축분뇨는 일반하수에 비해 고농도의 유기물, 질소, 인 등의 오염물질이 포함되어 있다. 적절한 처리 없이 하수처리장 및 수계로 유입될 경우 하수처리장 처리 효율에 영향을 미치거나 부영양화 등 다양한 문제를 야기 시킬 수 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 아질산화 반응을 이용하는 다양한 공정들이 연구되고 있다. 아질산화 반응은 완전 질산화 반응에 비해 질산화 단계에서 약 25%의 산소요구량이 절감되고, 탈질 단계에서 약 40%의 탄소원이 절감되는 경제적 장점이 있기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 부피 8L의 실험실 규모 아질산화 반응조 원통형 아크릴로 제작되었고, 서울 A하수처리장 미생물을 채취하여 사용했다. 또한 SRT의 영향을 살펴보기 위하여 35℃ 동일 온도를 유지했다. 반응조 슬러지 반송 및 폐기가 없는 완전 혼합 반응조로 SRT와 HRT가 동일하게 운전하는 방법을 사용하여 SRT를 조절하는 방식으로 운전했다. SRT의 경우 8일, 6일, 4일, 2일의 변경조건을 통해서 차이를 살펴보았다. Ammonia Removal Rate(%)의 경우 각각 86%, 86%, 87%, 24%의 효율을 보였고, Nitrite Conversion Rate(%)의 경우 각각 10%, 45%, 80%, 41%의 효율을 보였다. 35℃ 실험실 규모 반응조에서 가축분뇨 유입 원수의 아질산화 반응을 유도하기 위해서는 SRT운전 조건은 4~8일, 고효율의 아질산화 반응을 유도하기 위해서는 SRT 4일 조건이 적합하다고 판단된다. 본 연구는 실제 가축분뇨 처리 효율 상승을 위해서 아질산화 공법을 도입할 경우 중요한 자료로 이용 가능할 것으로 판단된다.
