농경지의 잔류비료나 농약 등의 비점오염원은 강수 또는 관개를 함에 따라 지표 및 지하 유출과 함께 거동함으로써 토양 내에 집적됨과 동시에 지하수 수질에도 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 특히, 최근 고부가가치 농산물 수요의 증가로 전국적으로 확대되고 있는 시설재배의 경우 노지재배와는 상이한 유출 및 침투 특성을 가지고 있음과 동시에 과다시비로 인한 오염원의 토양 내 집적이 심각한 수준이나, 이에 대한 연구가 미흡한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 시설재배지와 관행재배 지역의 토양 내 비점오염원 오염부하량을 평가하고 지하침투 과정을 평가하기 위하여 시설재배지와 관행재배지의 비교 평가가 가능한 포장 및 광역단위 시험포장을 연구대상지역으로 선정하였다. 모니터링 대상지역에서 토양수, 토양수분, 관개량, 기상조건 등을 측정하기 위한 장비를 설치하여 비점 모니터링 시스템을 구축하였고, 한달에 두 번 모니터링을 통하여 자료 수집 체계를 확립하였다. 시설재배지 및 관행재배지 토양 및 토양수 수질 분석 결과, 시설재배지 내 영양물질 농도가 관행재배지와 비교하여 전반적으로 높았으며, 특히, 하부토층으로 내려갈수록 영양물질의 농도 및 편차가 크게 나타났다. 향후 본 시험포장에서의 지속적인 모니터링 및 샘플링을 통하여 시설재배지 토양내 비점오염원의 침투 과정을 분석할 수 있을 것으로 판단되며, 지하침투 영향 및 오염부하량 모델링 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The significance of soil environment has been gradually increased because of petroleum leak accidents. Comparing with wastewater clean treatments and air pollutant controls, the soil purification requires a long-term process and it is very expensive. In this study, we analyzed the physicochemical properties of total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) contaminated in soil. This could be applied to deciding the source of petroleum when a soil contamination accident occurs.

For the purpose of development of bioremediation technology for soil contaminated by chlorinated phenols, this study was focused on the isolation and characterization of bacteria capable of degrading chlorinated phenols, the establishment of analytical methods for chlorinated phenols, and the investigation of the contaminated sites. One site near the Incheon Industrial Complex was identified as a pentachlorophenol (PCP)-contaminated spot. The soil brought from the PCP-contaminated site contained 10-100$mu\textrm{g}$/g wet soil of PCP. Many bacterial strains capable of growing on a minimal medium containing PCP were isolated from 15 soil samples collected throughout the land, and among them, 10 active isolates were finally selected for the further studies on the biodegradability and for the use in in situ bioremediation of contaminated soil. These isolates showed species-specific pattern in PCP-decrease and cell growth in a minimal medium containing 500-1,000mg/ιPCP. Strain Bul degraded 90% of PCP at 216 hrs after incubation. Expecially, strain Bu34 was capable of degrading 4,000mg/ι PCP and was identified as Pseudomonas putida Bu34. It is seemed that the isolated active bacteria could be effectively used for the bioremediation of PCP-contaminated sites.

The objectives of soil investigation in risk assessment of contaminated sites are to characterize the level and area of contamination, and provide the important physical and chemical properties of contaminated sites for later exposure assessment. This study suggests two soil investigation strategies to be considered in the soil risk assessment in Korea. First, soil investigation for characterizing soil properties is additionally required to the current investigation method that has focused on chemical analysis. Second, application of statistical concepts to soil investigation plan and soil data analysis are required for confidential decison-making on contamination and determining the exposure soil concentration. This study provides a practical soil investigation strategy to involve the current Korean soil analysis guidance with the minimum sample number required for satisfying statistical limits.

본 연구는 호소내 오염된 퇴적물 처리를 위한 전처리 장치로 Hydrocyclone의 이용가능 성을 평가하는 실험이다. 외국의 선행 연구자인 Rietema의 표준 규격을 참고하여 제작된 Hydrocyclone을 이용하여 기흥저수지 퇴적물로 실험을 실시하였다. 실험결과 입자에 따른 오염 도 평가에서는 입자가 작을수록 포함된 오염물의 농도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 퇴적물을 이용한 장치특성 및 운전조건 변화에 따른 실험에서 공급속도가 빠르고, 공급시료의 농도가 낮으며, 장치의 크기가 작을수록 입자별 분리효율이 높았다.

Dissolution properties for the 6 inorganic pollutants (As, Cd, Cu, Pb, Zn, Cr) in soils have been studied. These 6 inorganic pollutants were spiked to 3 kinds of fresh soils which were sand, clay, and loam. The dissolution properties of the prepared samples were investigated under the various extracting conditions such as extracting time, acid concentration, particle size, etc. in order to obtain basic information about the process of extraction test and improvement of related analytical methods. As the results, dissolution properties were affected mainly by acid concentration in extracting procedure and mineral composition of soils. On the other hand, extracting time, sort of acids and particle size of soils had a little influence on the dissolution properties. Cd revealed very high dissolving efficiency and As was very low in whole extracting test.

A total of 112 soil samples collected from polluted and unpolluted areas in Korea were investigated for physical properities (such as soil moisture, organic matter and soil pH) and biological properties (such as microbial numbers). The results of organic matter and soil pH showed a great variation(p=0.01) in the four areas, whereas soil moisture and organic matter were similar among three plant vegetations. There was a significant relationship(p=0.01 or 0.05) between soil pH and microbial number These results imply some variations in soil environment and may lead to unfavorable changes of plant vegetation in soil. Presumably, the above results appear to be resulted from soil acidification caused by an acidic rain.

The contamination characteristics of BTEX and TPH components in silty soils with the oil leakage event from point source were studied. The over ratios of three soil pollution standard for TPH component were $1.5{\sim}1.7$ times higher than that of BTEX component. The mean and maximum values of BTEX and TPH components with sample points were B-zone > A-zone > C-zone, and the highest concentrations were measured at $1{\sim}2m$ depth below surface. BTEX and TPH components were increased with linear distance in zone within 120 m and 80 m from point source. For the zone more than 120 m, BTEX and TPH concentrations were under soil pollution standard. The cutoff values of indicator kriging using BTEX and TPH components were defined as confirmative limit, warn- ing limit and counterplan limit. The variograms of indicator-transformed data were selected linear model. The contamination ranges of BTEX and TPH components using confirmative limit and warning limit were estimated similar, but the contamination range of those using counterplan limit was much reduced. The maximum contamination probabilities were estimated by probability maps usinB confirmative limit, warning limit and counterplan limit. The maximum contamination probabilities with three soil pollution standard were estimated 26%, 26% and 13% for BTEX component, and 44%, 38% and 26% for TPH component.

Soil contamination in Korea has been accelerated every year. Because of their persistence and cumulative tendency in the environment, soil contaminants have potential long-term environmental and health concerns and it is estimated to cost enormous expense for clean-up. Korea government has legislated the law on conservation of soil environment in mid 1990s, and managed and treated hazardous wastes in contaminated sites as a remediation policy since then. Soil remediation technologies are classified into in-situ/ex-situ or biological/physico-chemical/thermal processes according to applied places or treatment methods, respectively. In Korea, clean-up of polluted sites has been mostly carried out at military areas, railroad-related sites and small-scale oil spilt sites. For these cases, in-situ remediation technologies such as soil vapor extraction (SVE) and bioventing were mainly used. In recent days, an environmental-friendly soil remediation emerged as a new concept - for example, a new soil remediation process using nanotechnology or molecular biological study and an integrated process which can overcome the limitation of individual process. To have better applicability of remediation technologies, comprehensive understandings about the pollutants and soil characteristics and the suitable techniques are required to be investigated. Above all, development of environmental technologies based on the sustainability accompanied by public attention can improve soil environment in Korea.
