A large amount 2.1×106 ㎥ of the polluted sediment was dredged from the Masan Bay and deposited in Gapo confined area, Masan. The dissolved metal concentrations of seawater in the dumping site (Gapo area) were observed during one tidal cycle and compared with those of seawater obtained from Jinhae Bay. The sediment was evaluated as from Non polluted to Moderately polluted by USEPA standards. It was judged that toxicological effects of sediment analyzed ranged from ERL to ERM with copper and zinc, and ERL with cadmium, chrome, lead, and nickel by the Adverse Biological Effects. The pollutant concentration was low in surface sediment compared to deeper sediment since the sediments with relatively low concentrations of pollutant were dumped to the surface. The pollutant concentration was low in surface sediment compared to deeper sediment since the sediments with relatively low concentrations of pollutant were dumped to the surface. The benthic organisms in Gapo area had higher concentrations of trace metals (Oyster: Zn 238.96, Cu 5.29 ㎍/g wet wt., Clam: Zn 17.71, Cu 1.00 ㎍/g wet wt., Mussel. Zn 187.98, Pb 0.28, Cr 0.15, Mn 4.23, Sr 1.45 and Fe 100.33 ㎍/g wet wt.) compared to outside of dumping site. However, the trace metal level in the bivalves was less than the NFPQIS (National Fisheries Products Quality Inspection Service) standard.

본 연구에서는 농업용 저수지의 수질을 악화시키는 원인으로 판단되는 퇴적물의 현황을 파악하기 위하여 저수지의 퇴적물에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 물리성 및 오염원 특성에 따라 유형 분류를 실시하여 각 유형별 대상 저수지를 선정하여 현장 모니터링을 통해 기초자료를 확보하였고, 이를 국내외 자료 및 수질자료와 비교 분석을 통해 총체적인 오염도를 평가하였다. 연구 대상 저수지의 분류 기준은 저수지 퇴적물의 성상 및 특성에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 주요 요소인 저수지 오염원과 설치년도로 하였다. 이에 따라, 현장 답사 및 사전조사 결과를 토대로 가장 적합한 조사대상 저수지를 선별하였다. 최종적으로 선정된 연구 대상 저수지는 생활계의 인평(1960년대 이전), 업성 저수지(1960년대 이후)와 축산계의 이담(1960년대 이전), 공리 저수지(1960년대 이후)이다. 내부 오염 부하량이 수체에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위해 실시한 용출량 실험 결과, 호기 조건의 경우에는 축산계의 T-P를 제외하고 생활계, 축산계 모두 용출이 일어나지 않는 것으로 조사되었다. 반면에 혐기 조건의 경우에는 생활계 보다는 축산계가, 1960년대 이후보다는 1960년대 이전에 축조된 저수지의 용출이 보다 활발한 것으로 나타났다. 조건별 용출량이 수체에 미치는 영향은 호기 조건에서 생활계 및 1960년대 이후의 경우 음의 값을 보여 수질이 개선되는 것으로 나타났다. 반면, 혐기 조건에서는 T-N의 경우 생활계와 1960년대 이후 저수지에서는 용출이 일어나지 않았으나 그 외의 항목에서는 모두 용출이 일어나는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 혐기조건은 T-P의 용출에 영향을 크게 미치는 것으로 나타났는데, 수질에 미치는 영향을 기여율로 환산할 경우 생활계에서 11%, 축산계에서 13.7%, 1960년대 이전에서 18.3%, 1960년대 이후에서 6.39% 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

Extractable concentrations (0.1 N & 1.0 N HCI) of heavy metals in roadside sediments are lower than guidelines for soil recommended by Ministry of Environment. Heavy traffic areas (such as No. 7 national road) show high contents of heavy metals, especially, at curved areas, gully pot, crackdown areas on overspeed, pedestrian crossing etc. Fine fractions $(<63\;{\mu}m)$ of roadside sediments have the highest concentrations of heavy metals, but mass loadings of heavy metal are determined by coarse fractions $(>100{\mu}m)$, due to washing out of fine fraction sediment by runoff water. Proper treatment facilities are needed to control the inflow of fine roadside sediments from No. 7 national road and bridge such as Hanmul bridge.

In this study, a heavy-metal stabilization treatment using stabilizing agents derived from waste resources was utilized on Incheon North Port range sediment contaminated with Pb, Zn, and Cu. Both calcined red mud (5%, 10%, and 15% w/w) and oyster shell (5%, 10%, and 15% w/w) were applied for a wet-curing duration of 15 days. From the sequential extraction results, the oxide and organic fraction of heavy metals (Pb, Zn, and Cu) were observed strongly in the contaminated sediment. However, the fraction of heavy metal in the stabilized sediment was higher than the organic and residual fraction, in comparison to the contaminated sediment. Moreover, the leaching of heavy metals was reduced in the stabilized sediment, compared with the contaminated sediment. From these results, red mud and oyster shell were shown to be potential stabilizers of heavy metals in contaminated sediment.

We carried out basic research to evaluate covering material for improving and managing contaminated benthic environments in coastal areas. Changes in nutrient concentration such as phosphate, hydrogen sulfide of contaminated sediment, and pH, Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP) were investigated through mesocosm experiments for 6 months by covering contaminated sediment with granulated coal ash. Calcium oxide eluted from the granulated coal ash was confirmed to neutralize acidified sediment by increasing pH through hydrolysis. Also, calcium oxide and silica eluted from the granulated coal ash adsorbed and precipitated with phosphate in the sediment. The concentration of phosphate in the sediment investigated decreased by ca. 84.31 %. Similarly, the concentration of hydrogen sulfide decreased by 133.5 mg/L in one month. The hydrogen sulfide is considered to have reacted with substances such as manganese oxide which were eluted from the granulated coal ash and precipitated. Also, it was concluded that the hydrogen sulfide was reduced since anaerobic conditions in the sediment weakened. According to the results of these mesocosm experiments, granulated coal ash was found to be effective to remediate and manage benthic environments by covering the surface layer of sediment.

This study presents a numerical model that can simulate changes of particle size distribution (PSD) of PCB-contaminated coastal sediments. The developed model has one spatial dimension including sedimentation and vortical dispersion as well as coagulation. The reason for considering the vortical transport mechanisms is to calculate residence time of the particles. Using the model and Initial PSD data based on actual coastal sediments contaminated with PCBs, this study shows results of model simulations. Within 48 hours of the simulation time, the PSD changed significantly and the particles were removed from water in different rates between different particle sizes. It also shows that coagulation can act an important role in this process. The model may be useful in assessing the range of resuspended sediments that can pollute neighboring areas during environmental remediation projects such as dredging.

강우유출수의 오염기원별 기여도를 파악하고자 홍제천 유역의 구기 배수분구를 대상으로 강우시 유량 및 오염물질 발생경향 및 오염기원별 오염도 분석 등에 대하여 살펴보았다. 강우시 발생초기의 오염물질의 농도는 강우에 의한 초기세척현상(First Flush)에 의해 상당히 높게 나타났으며, 강우초기의 높은 오염물질의 농도는 강우에 의해 희석되어 일시적으로 낮아졌다가 높은 강우강도에 의하여 급격히 상승하였으며, 이후 오염물질의 농도는 유량의 감소에 따라 점차적으로 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 물질수지식을 이용한 근사적인 오염부하의 오염원별 기여도 분석에서 관거 퇴적물에 의한 오염도가 COD $27.7\%$, SS $47.5\%$로 나타났으며 지역에 따라서는 건기 하수보다도 더 높은 기여도를 보이고 있어 월류수 오염부하의 제어측면에서 정기적인 관거내 퇴적물의 준설과 세정을 통하여 상당량의 오염부하를 저감시킬 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

This study was carried out to investigated changes in sediments in the eight weir sections of Nakdong River. Sediments were collected and analyzed for Grain Size, Ignition loss, Total Organic Carbon, Total Nitrogen, Total Phosphorus, and Meta. The upstream of the weir was found that fine-grained sediments have repeated increases and decreases. It was found that coarse-grained sediments were being maintained in the downstream part of the weir. The sediments Ignition Loss, Total Organic Carbon, Total Nitrogen, Total Phosphorus are strongly correlated with Grain Size, and these increased at the point where sediments are fine. In the case of metal, the concentration increased across the board, and the correlation with Grain Size, Ignition loss, Total Organic Carbon, Total Nitrogen, and Total Phosphorus was weak. Although there were some sections where fine-grained sediments, organic materials, nutrients, metals increased in the Nakdong River, the overall pollution level is considered weak.

호소 수질에 영향을 미치는 대표적 인자로 외부 유입물질과 퇴적물을 들 수 있다. 따라서, 호소 수질 관리를 위해서는 호소로 유입되는 점ㆍ비점 오염원 관리와 함께, 퇴적층 관리도 수반되어야만 한다. 특히, 호소수가 주요 식수원으로 사용되는 경우에는 엄격한 퇴적토질 평가가 이루어져야 할 것이다. 본 연구에서는 소양호 퇴적층에 대한 환경지질학적 조사 연구의 일환으로 다양한 bioassays 기법(the battery of bioassays)을 적용하여 퇴적토의 오염상태를 평가하였다.

The purpose of this study was to understand the pollution level of the surface sediment of Sihwa Lake by assessing its geochemical characteristics and investigating the spatial distribution of trace metals and organic matter. In the surface sediment of Sihwa lake, the mean grain size was between 2.94 and 6.35 Ø and the main type of sediment was sandy silt. The concentrations of As, Co, Cr, Ni, V and Li among the metal elements in the surface sediment were correlated with the mean crust concentration (p<0.05). Based on the strong correlation between the metals (Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn) and organic matter (Ignition Loss), the concentrations of these metal elements seem to be controlled by the organic matter dilution effect. The trace metal pollution level, determined by applying the Republic of Korea Marine environmental standard and the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's sediment quality guidelines, showed the pollution level of As to be either close to or in excess of the above-mentioned standards at almost all levels. The enrichment factor and geoaccumulation index of As showed that there was an incremental increase of pollution by elements other than V, Cr, Co, Fe, Al and Mn. Moreover, the nearby industrial area and dike were more polluted than the other areas, so the surface sediments in Sihwa lake should be monitored by taking into consideration the geological variations.
