  • Attempts were made to analyze the national policy of soil contamination prevention and management of inactive or abandoned metal (IAM) mines in Korea. This approach focused on legal systems and legislation, remediation technology development, and the arrangement or distribution of budgets pertaining to national policy since the mid 1990's. Prevention of Mining Damage and Recovery Act enacted. Defines the roles, responsibility and budget of the government when recovering mine damages. However, in 2005 there still remains to improve the national policy of soil contamination prevention and management of IAM mines. Analysis of national and industrialized foreign countries including the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands suggest the following improvements: i) arranging distinct regulations between strict and non-strict liability criteria for potentially responsible parties; limiting innocent and non-strict liability depending on the period of incurred mining activity, ii) enhancing participation of local communities by enforcing law and legislation, iii) establishing a national database system of (potentially) IAM contaminated sites based on the Website-Geographic Information System, iv) carrying out site-specific risk assessments and remediation of IAM contaminated sites, v) preparation and distribution of clean-up fund at mine sites adequately, and vi) technology development for the cleaning of IAM contaminated sites; awarding positive incentives of a legal nature for participants applying newly developed technology in IAM mines.

  • The practices of the construction and management of the petroleum and hazardous chemical compound storage facilities in Korea were investigated extensively, and the problems were identified. The advanced technologies in the U.S.A were comparatively studied. Considering the effectiveness of leak prevention and applicability, the following measures were suggested. To prevent corrosion of a tank, a clad tank, an interior lining tank, or a double-wall tank were thought to be the most cost effective. For piping. use of non-metalic materials was suggested. A catchment basin seemed to be effective for preventing spills. For monitoring of leaks, constructions of more than one of detection systems, such as an automatic leak detection device. a vapor detection system, a groundwater monitoring system, or a double-wall monitoring system, were recommended.

  • Domestic laws such as Korea Marine Pollution Prevention Law which has been made and amended according to the conclusions and amendments of various international conventions, especially by MARPOL 73/78, were reviewed and compared with major contents of international conventions, and several alternative measures for legislating new laws or amending existing laws such as Korea Marine Pollution Prevention Law in accordance with new contents and recent amendments of existing and new international conventions were proposed. Annex VI of MARPOL 73/78 has been recently accepted in Korea Marine Pollution Prevention Law which should be applied to ships which are the moving point sources of air pollution at Sea rather than in Korea Air Environment Conservation Law which should be applied to automobiles and industrial installations which are the line and/or point sources of air pollution in land. International Convention for Ship's Ballast Water/Sediment Management should be accepted in Korea Marine Pollution Prevention Law or by a new law in order to prevent domes marine ecosystem and costal environment from the invasion of harmful exotic species through the discharge of ship's ballast water. International Convention for the Control of Harmful Anti-Fouling Systems on the Ships should be accepted in Korea Marine Pollution Prevention Law which should be applied to ships which are navigating in open sea and coastal waters rather than in Korea Noxious Chemicals Management Law. Basel Convention which shall regulate and prohibit inter-nations movements of noxious chemical substances should be accepted in Korea Marine Pollution Prevention Law in order to prevent the movement and transfer of scrap-purpose tanker ships containing bilge water of oil/water mixtures and chemicals remained on board from advanced countries to developing and/or underdeveloped countries and to conserve global marine environment after all.

  • 중국은 급속한 경제성장으로 인해서 에너지의 소비량이 급증하였으며 이는 석탄의 급증을 동시에 유발하였다 이러한 석탄 사용의 증가는 국내적으로는 대기오염의 악화를 초래하고 있으며, 국외적으로는 산성비의 원인이 되고 있다. 한편 수질오염도 심각하며 주원인으로는 도시폐기물이 약 40%, 산업폐기물로 인한 수질오염이 60% (1981 - 1995)을 차지하고 있으며 폐수처리물은 산업폐수가 77%이나 도시의 폐수처리는 7%에 불과한 것으로 알려져 있다. 이러한 환경오염으로 인한 총 사회적 비용은 1995년도의 경우 GDP의 8%로 추정되고 있으나 중국의 경제 성장이 현재와 같이 지속되고 청정생산, 에너지 효율 향상이 되면 2020년에 '95년의 사회적 비용의 75% 수준까지 저감시킬 것으로 세계은행은 예상하고 있다. (세계은행, 1998) 중국이 환경문제를 해결하기 위해서는 우선 에너지 효율 향상과 에너지 공급원의 다양화를 추진하는 것이며, 산업 보일러와 로에서 발생하는 배출량에 대한 저감에 대해서 노력해야 한다. 특히 수질오염의 방지를 위해서도 거의 무방지 지대인 중소기업에 대한 폐수처리 시설의 확충도 시급한 실정이며 자동차와 관련한 대기오염의 방지도 중요하다. 특히 시장 기능의 활성화를 유도하기 위해서는 공기업에게도 철저한 환경규제를 적용시켜야 하며, 환경비용의 내부화를 기하기 위해서 가격제도의 도입과 국제 무역의 자유화를 조기에 추진함으로서 환경기반산업을 육성할 수 있을 것이며 최소한 GDP의 1% 정도 되는 환경투자가 필요하다고 본다.
