The goal of this study was to estimate the possible scattering distance of deicer from the highway and the impact range of deicer on soil quality in terms of plant growth. Among the major elements (Ca²⁺, Cl^- and Na⁺) of deicer, Ca²⁺and Cl^- are usually applied as fertilizer to soil. Therefore both elements (Ca²⁺and Cl^-) were not appropriate for a tracer of deicer at the agricultural area. In this study, SAR (sodium adsorption ratio) of soil was proposed as an alternative tracer to confirm the distribution of the deicer around the highway areas. Because deicer is the main anthropogenic source of Na⁺ around the highway areas and does harm to the physical properties of soil and plant growth through the destruction of soil aggregate, SAR would be an recommendable tracer to access the distribution of deicer as well as adverse effect on soil quality at highway areas. The influence range of deicer based on SAR of soil was estimated to be less than 20 m distance from the highway even though the possible flying distance of deicer was found to be more than 100 m from the highway. However the deicer seriously deposited within 10 m from the highway.

Statistical- based, principal component analysis (PCA) was applied to chemical data from two underground storage systems containing LPG to assess the usefulness of such technique at the initial stage (Pyeongtaek) or middle stage (Ulsan) of hydrochemical studies. For the first case, both natural and anthropogenic contamination characterize regional groundwater. Saline water buffered by Namyang lake affects as a natural factor, whereas cement grouting influence as an artificial factor. For the second study area, contaminations due to operation of LPG caverns, such as disinfection activity and cement grouting effect, deteriorate groundwater quality. This study indicates that principal component analysis would be particularly useful for summarizing large data set for the purpose of subsurface characterization, assessing their vulnerability to contamination and protecting recharge zones.

Four types of land use were selected for sampling and study with different characteristics of heavy metal contamination during the period from August 1998 to June 2000. A series of studies have been carried out concerning the physicochemical characteristics of the sediments settling down in a gully pot to evaluate the contamination of Pb, Zn, Cd, Co, Cr and Cu. An examination of six elements indicated that Zn, Cu and Pb were the heavy metals severely impacted by anthropogenic input in Seoul. An assessment of 60 volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in urban runoff and ground water was conducted based on samples collected from 31 sites and 12 wells, respectively, in Seoul City. The higher levels of alkyl benzenes in urban runoff indicated that Seoul areas were mainly contaminated through traffic sources.

Groundwater has been a very precious resource for human life and economic development in the world. With increasing population and food demand, the groundwater use especially for agriculture is largely elevated worldwide. The very much large groundwater use results in depletion of major aquifers, land subsidences in many large cities, anthropogenic groundwater contamination, seawater intrusion in coastal areas and accompanying severe conflicts for water security. Furthermore, with the advent of changing climate, securing freshwater supply including groundwater becomes a pressing and critical issue for sustainable societal development in every country because prediction of precipitation is more difficult, its uneven distribution is aggravating, weather extremes are more frequent, and rising sea level is also threatening the freshwater resource. Under these difficulties, can groundwater be sustaining its role as essential element for human and society in the near future? We have to focus our efforts and wisdom on answering the question. Korean government should increase its investment in securing groundwater resources for changing climate.

Anthropogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are formed by the incomplete combustion of fuels and industrial waste. PAHs can be widely exposed to the environment (water, soil and groundwater). PAHs are potentially toxic, mutagenic and/or carcinogenic. Fundamental studies such as biota uptake (e.g., earthworm and plant) of PAHs are highly needed. It is necessary to develop alternative ways to evaluate bioavailability of PAHs instead of using living organisms because it is time-consuming, difficult to apply in the field, and also exaction method is tedious and time-consuming. In this study, sorption behaviors of phenanthrene were evaluated to predict the fate of PAHs in soils. Moreover, bioaccumulation of PAHs in an artificially contaminated soil was evaluated using pea plant (Pisum sativum) as a bioindicator. A novel passive sampler, organic-diffusive gradient in thin-film (o-DGT) for PAHs was newly synthesized, tested as a biomimic surrogate and compared with plant accumulation. Sorption partitioning coefficient (K_P) and sorption capacity (K_F) were in the order of natural soil > loess corresponding to the increase in organic carbon content (f_oc). Biota-to-soil accumulation factor (BSAF) and DGT-to-soil accumulation factor (DSAF) were evaluated. o-DGT uptake was linearly correlated with pea plant uptake of phenanthrene in contaminated soil (R²=0.863). The Tenax TA based o-DGT as a biomimic surrogate can be used for the prediction of pea plant uptake of phenanthrene in contaminated soil.

이 연구는 부여 정동리 꿩바윗골 유적에서 출토된 백제시대 경작토양의 광물학적 및 지구화학적 특정을 조사하고, 이를 사용하여 제작한 것으로 추정되는 무령왕릉 및 송산리 전(벽돌)과 토양을 비교하여 태토로서의 가능성을 검토하였다. 연구대상 토양시료들은 모두 미사질 양토로 가장 하부층을 제외하고는 모두 유사한 토양입도를 가지고 있다. 토양은 산성으로 일부 시료에서 유기물, P, S 등의 집적현상이 나타났다. 또한 지구화학적 원소 분포경향이 유사하며 석영, 사장석, 정장석, 질석, 운모, 고령석 등으로 구성되어 동일한 광물조성을 보인다. 부분적으로 붉은 철산화물의 농집이 관찰되는데, 강의 범람과 배수에 따른 산화와 환원환경이 반복되었던 환경이 토양 내 철산화물의 농집을 일으킨것으로 보인다. 이는 자연현상과 인간의 경작활동에 의한 풍화양상으로 볼 수 있다. 특히 무령왕릉과 송산리고분군 출토 전에서 발견되는 철산화물의 농집현상은 연구지역 토양이 전의 태도로 추정될 수 있는 추가적인 증거로 판단된다.

Numerous studies on urban groundwater have been carried out in many other countries. Urban groundwater shows a unique hydrologic system because of complex urban characteristics such as road pavement, sewers and public water supply systems. These urban facilities may change the characteristics of groundwater recharge but contaminate its quality as well. There have been several researches on urban groundwater in Seoul. Seoul has been industrialized very rapidly so that the city has large population. The recent population in Seoul amounts to more than ten millions, corresponding to a very high density of about 17, 000 people/km$^2$. Therefore, many factors affect the groundwater quality and quantity in Seoul. Nowadays, groundwater in Seoul is being extracted for construction, industrial use, and drinking and so on. There are 15, 714 wells in Seoul and its annual usage is 41, 425, 977m$^3$(in 2001). Therefore, systematic studies are needed to properly manage and use the groundwater in Seoul. The purposes of this study in progress are to identify geochemical characteristics of groundwater in Seoul and to determine the extent of groundwater contamination and its relationship with urban characteristics. For this study, groundwater was sampled from more than 400 preexisting wells that were randomly selected throughout the Seoul area. For all samples, major cations together with Si, Al, Fe, Pb, Hg For 200 samples among them, TCE, PCE, BTEX were also analyzed by GC. Our study shows that groundwater types of Seoul are distributed broadly from Ca-HCO$_3$ type to Ca-Cl＋NO$_3$ type. The latter type indicates anthropogenic contamination. Among cations, Ca is generally high in most samples. In some samples, Na and K are dominant. The dominant anions change widely from HCO$_3$ to Cl＋NO$_3$. The anion composition is considered to effectively indicate the contribution of distinct anthropogenic sources. In addition, major ions are positively proportional to total dissolved solid (TDS) except K and NO$_3$. Thus, we consider that TDS may be used as an effective indicator of the extent of pollution. However, the increase of TDS may result from increased water-rock interaction. To determine the extent of groundwater contamination, it is needed to figure out the baseline water quality in Seoul. Furthermore, detailed geochemical studies are required to find out pollution sources and their corresponding hydrochemical parameters.

Beryllium (Be), cobalt (Co), thallium (Tl) and vanadium (V) are candidates of 21 priority soil pollutants in Korea. The distribution of their concentration in soils from three contamination sources including industrial, roadside and mining areas was investigated. Concentrations of the metals were evaluated quantitatively using pollution indices and the fractionation of metals was conducted using modified SM&T (Standards Measurements and Testing programme) sequential extraction. Concentrations of the metals for all samples from industrial and roadside soils were within the range of natural background levels, while some of Be in soils from abandoned mines exceeded that the range. Enrichment Factor (EF) and Nemerow Integrated Pollution Index (NIPI) for Be, Co, Tl and V showed that there are effects or possibilities of anthropogenic activities. Pollution Load Index (PLI) analyses indicated all investigated sites needed further monitoring. The results of sequential extractions indicated mobile fractions (F1+F2) of Be, Tl and V were below 30% except some of Co in soil, which implies their low mobility to neighboring environment media. Variable tools like sequential extraction, comparison with background/actual concentration and pollution indices, as well as aqua regia extraction should be considered when evaluating Be, Co, Tl, V in soil.

본 연구는 대구획으로 경지정리된 후 5년차인 1 ha의 논 및 4대강 주변의 리모델링 농경지 밭을 대상으로 하여 그에 따른 화학적 특성들을 조사하여 그 포장내의 공간변이를 파악하고 각 성분들간의 상호관련성을 비교하고자 수행되었다. 5년차인 1 ha의 논에서 5 m 간격으로 총 $20{\times}20=400$점의 시료를 채취하여 분석에 이용하였으며 매립적토형 인위토양은 10 m 간격으로 $6{\times}9=54$점의 시료를 채취하였다. 화학성분 중 pH, 유효인산, 유기물함량 등을 분석하여 그 결과를 해석하였다. pH는 구미지역에서 7.1로 높게 나타났으며, 유효인산 및 유기물함량의 경우 모두 변이계수가 높았으며 이는 한 포장 내에서도 상당히 불균일하다고 볼 수 있었다. 왜도(skewness)와 첨도(kurtosis) 등은 그 절대값으로 볼 때 거의 정규분포에 가까운 형태로 보이고 있다. 안성의 논에서는 유효인산 (72.8) ${\fallingdotseq}$ pH(73.8) < 유기물(159.3)의 순, 구미의 밭에서는 유기물(6.5) < 유효인산(33.5) < pH(46.6)의 순으로 Range값이 높아졌다. 이는 상대적으로 5년된 토양에서보다 0년차의 토양에서 시료채취를 많이 해야 한다는 의미로 해석할 수 있었다.

Agriculture activities account for 58% of total anthropogenic emissions of nitrous oxide ($N_2O$) with global warming potential of 298 times as compared to carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) on molecule to molecule basis. Quantifying $N_2O$ from managed soil is essential to develop national inventories of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The objective of the study was to compare $N_2O$ emission from livestock compost applied arable land with that for fertilizer treatment. The study was conducted for two years by cultivating Chinese cabbage (Brassica campestris L.) in Chuncheon, Gangwon-do. Accumulated $N_2O$ emission during cultivation of Chinese cabbage after applying livestock compost was slightly greater than that for chemical fertilizer. Slightly greater $N_2O$ emission factor for livestock compost was observed than that for chemical fertilizer possibly due to lump application of livestock compost before crop cultivation compared with split application of chemical fertilizers and enhanced denitrification activity through increased carbon availability by organic matter in livestock compost.
