동아시아지역의 산업발달로 인하여 증가한 대기중의 에어로솔들은 도시지역 시정장애의 주요 요인으로 작용하며 강우의 산도를 증가시켜 토양의 산성화를 야기하고 또한 장거리 이동하여 청정지역의 대기오염농도에 주된 요인으로 작용하고 있다. 동아시아지역의 대표적인 오염물질 장거리 이동현상인 황사는 중국에서 발생한 dust storm이 주변 산업지역의 오염된 공기와 이동, 인접국가의 대기오염농도에 직접적인 영향을 끼치는 현상으로 발생빈도는 년간 3-5회 정도 발생한다. (중략)

In this Study, application of ${H_2}{O_2}$/$Fe^0 oxidation System (Fenton-like oxidation) for the oxidative treatment of high-level soil contamination with hydrocarbon was suggested. The characteristics of Fenton-like oxidation of diesel-contaminated fine soil was experimentally probed in a batch system varying initial pH, zero valent iron and hydrogen peroxide levels, and initial diesel concentration. Contaminant degradation was identified by total petroleum hydrocarbon(TPH) concentration with gas chromatography. The batch experiments showed that the optimal ${H_2}{O_2}$and $Fe^0 dosage, 10% ${H_2}{O_2}$+ 20% $Fe^0 removed 65% of initial TPH concentration (10,000mg/kg) at a retention time of 24h. And the TPH removal in the ${H_2}{O_2}$/$Fe^0 system effectively proceeded only within a limited pH range of 3-4. The zero valent iron-catalyzed Fenton-like oxidation of diesel-contaminated soil was more competitive to the $FeSO_4-catalyzed system (Fenton oxidation) in removal efficiency and cost especially for the treatment of high level contamination.

밭에서 발생하는 비점오염물질은 강우량, 강우강도, 경사도, 토양, 시비량 등에 영향을 받는다. 따라서 효율적인 비점오염물질의 관리를 위해서는 영향인자에 대한 자세한 분석이 선행되어야 한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 강원도 평창군 대관령면의 경사도가 다른 고랭지 밭 두 지점을 선정하여 비점오염물질의 유출특성을 파악하고, 향후 비점오염원의 효율적인 관리를 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 연구기간은 2011년 4월부터 11월까지 유출이 발생한 8회의 강우사상에 대해 모니터링을 수행하였다. 연구결과 경사도 4.9% 밭에서의 유출율은 0.05~0.48이었으며, 16.8% 경사에서는 0.31~0.57로 나타났다. 유량과 채취된 수질 시료를 이용해 EMC를 산정한 결과 경사도 4.9%인 밭에서는 SS 762.1~2422.7 mg/L $BOD_5$ 4.5~14.9 mg/L, $COD_{Cr}$ 16.1~62.0 mg/L, $COD_{Mn}$ 7.5~43.2 mg/L, TN 9.602~21.021 mg/L, TP 2.544~6.763 mg/L의 범위로 나타났다. 반면 16.8%의 경사밭에서는 SS 116.0~2015.5 mg/L $BOD_5$ 6.0~9.5 mg/L, $COD_{Cr}$ 21.9~75.4 mg/L, $COD_{Mn}$ 4.3~33.1 mg/L, TN 10.937~46.295mg/L, TP 2.611~11.197 mg/L의 범위로 나타났다. 두 지점의 유출률과 EMC를 비교한 결과, 경사가 증가함에 따라 유출율이 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며, SS를 제외한 모든 수질항목의 EMC가 증가한 것으로 나타났다. SS의 경우 경사가 큰 고랭지 밭에서 낮은 값을 보였는데, 이는 16.8%의 경사밭에서 등고선 방향으로 경운을 하여 흙 입자의 유실이 적었기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구의 결과와 같이 밭에서 발생하는 비점오염물질의 유출특성은 강우조건(강우강도, 선행무강우일수), 시비량, 토양, 지표의 피복상태 등에 따라 다르기 때문에 장기적인 모니터링을 통해 기초자료를 축적하는 것이 중요하다고 판단된다.

Many studies have been conducted to accurately predict the correlations between As and heavy metals content in contaminated soil and cultivated crops; however, due to the low correlation between the two, few clear results were obtained to date. This study aimed to create statistical models that predict the As content transferred from soil to polished rice, considering the physicochemical properties of the soil, as well as the total content and the single-extracted content of As in the soil. Predictive models were derived through regression analysis while sequentially classifying soil samples according to pH, soluble As content by single extraction, and organic matter content of the soil. The correlation coefficients between the As content in 80 polished rice and total As content and Mehlich soluble As content in the soil were low, 0.533 and 0.493, respectively. However, the models derived after sequential classification of the soil by pH, a ratio of total As content to Mehlich soluble As content, and organic matter content greatly increased the predictive power; ① 0.963 for 13 soils with a pH higher than 6.5, ② 0.849 for 15 soils with pH lower than 6.5 and a high ratio of As_Tot/As_Mehlich, ③ 0.935 for 30 soils with pH lower than 6.5, a high ratio of As_Tot/As_Mehlich, and organic matter content lower than 8.5%. The suggested prediction model of As transfer from soil to polished rice derived by soil classification may serve as a statistically significant methodology in establishing a rice cultivation standard for arsenic-contaminated soil.

A long-term field demonstration experiment on selected stabilization methods to reduce the heavy metal mobility in farmland soil contaminated by heavy metals was conducted. The field demonstration experiment was established on the contaminated farmland with wooden plates (thickness = 1 cm), of which the dimension were width = 200 cm, Length = 200 cm, height = 80 cm, filled with treated soil, which was mixed with lime stone and steel refining slag except on control plot. Soil samples in the plots were collected and analyzed during the experiment period (6 months) after the installation of the plots. The field demonstration experiment results showed that the application lime stone at the ratio of 5% was effective for immobilizing heavy metal components in contaminated farmland soil.

The role of soil microorganisms, specifically rhizobacteria, in the development of rhizoremediation techniques is important to speed up the process and to increase the rate of mobilization or absorption of heavy metals to the plant. In this study, Methylobacterium sp. SY-NiR1 was isolated from the rhizosphere soils of plants in oil and heavy metal-contaminated soil. Based on its pink pigmented colony, rod-shape cells, and belonging in $\alpha-Proteobacteria$, Methylobacterium sp. SY-NiR1 is considered a pink-pigmented facultative methylotroph. SY-NiR1 had the ability to produce indole acetic acid which is one of phytohormones. This bacterium showed resistance against multiple heavy metals such as Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb, Ni, Zn, and the order of its resistance based on $EC_{50}$ was Zn > Ni > Cu > Pb > Cd > Cr. Therefore, Methylobacterium sp. SY-NiR1 can stimulate seed germination and plant growth in soil contaminated with heavy metals.

In this study, a novel bioreactor system using a diffuser type hollow fiber membranes (hollow fiber membrane diffuser, HFMD) was applied to investigate the feasibility and biodegradation capacity for the treatment of a gaseous mixture consisting of benzene, toluene and p-xylene(BTX). First, A mixed culture pre-acclimated to toluene effectively biodegraded the BTX mixture at an overall removal efficiency of approximately 70% for a 20-day operational period. It was found that the biodegradation of toluene was slightly inhibited because of the presence of benzene and p-xylene. Second, the elimination capacity (EC) of total BTX increased up to 360 $g/m^3/hr$, which was substantially higher than maximum ECs for BTEX reported in the biofiltration literature. Consequently, the hollow fiber membrane diffuser was considered as an alternative method over other conventional VOC-treating technologies such as biofilters.

A number of industrial zones in South Korea were reported contaminated by heavy metals. Such contamination could cause severe damage to the subsurface environment including soil and groundwater. The treatment of zeolite mixing with soil at the bottom of such industrial zones might prevent, or at least reduce the damage of contamination by adsorption of the heavy metals from the leakage. However, such mixtures should maintain the proper bearing capacity as a foundation fill material from the geotechnical point of view at the same time. To investigate the effect of mixtures of zeolite with local soils for the adsorption of heavy metals (Zn, Pb) and sustainability of bearing capacity, adsorption isotherm tests and direct shear test with compaction tests were performed. Results showed that the mixing zeolite with local soils effectively reduces the spreading of the heavy metal contamination when maintaining its proper geotechnical properties as a fill material of industrial zones.
