There have been frequent chemical leaks over the past 10 years. Particularly, inorganic acids like sulfuric acid, nitric acid, and hydrogen chloride take up 37 % of the total chemical accidents which took place for the past 10 years. When an acid chemical leak happens, fume is generated, diffusing into the air, which might cause serious damage to health of local residents and the environment. However, most of the acid-based chemicals, detecting and analysis methods have not been settled considering the frequency of accidents. In this study, we investigated detection and analysis methods to quickly analyze accident sites and evaluate the impacts on environments. Reviewing local and international test analysis methods of acids suggested that nitric acid, sulfuric acid, hydrogen chloride and hydrogen fluoride can be analyzed with IC. It was also found that UV is better for the analysis of hydrogen fluoride and GC/MS for acrylic acid. The analytical methods suggested in the official test methods basically have limitations of consuming much time at stages of preparation and analysis. Considering prompt responses to chemical accidents, further studies should be done to compare the applicability of rapid monitoring methods such as FT-IR, IMR-MS and SIFT-MS.

Objectives : We evaluated the health effects of exposure to BTEX(Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene, m,p-Xylene, o-Xylene) in the Taean area after the Hebei Spirit oil spill. Methods : We used a questionnaire survey to look for health effects among 80 pregnant women 2 to 3 months following the Hebei Spirit oil spill. Their BTEX exposures were estimated using the CALPUFF method. We then used a multiple logistic regression analysis to evaluate the effects of BTEX exposure on the women s health effets. Results : Pregnant women who lived near the accident site reported more symptoms of eye irritation and headache than those who lived farther from the site. There was a trend of decreasing symptoms with an increase in distance from the spill site. Pregnant women exposed to higher ambient cumulative levels of Xylene were significantly more likely to report symptoms of the skin(OR 8.01 95% CI=1.74-36.76) in the first day after the accident and significantly more likely to report abdominal pain(OR 3.86 95% CI=1.02-14.59 for Ethylbenzene, OR 6.70 95% CI=1.82-24.62 for Xylene) during the 1st through 4th days following the accident. Conclusions : This study suggests that exposure to BTEX from an oil spill is correlated with an increased risk of health effects among pregnant women. This implies the need to take proper measures, including the development of a national policy for environmental health emergencies and a plan for studying the short- and long-term chronic health effects associated with such spills.

한국 남쪽 해역에서 획득한 SAR 영상들로부터 해양 표면에 나타난 물리 현상등이 관측되었다. 1994년 10월 11일 제주도 남서쪽 연안에서의 ERS-1 SAR 영상에서는 남쪽으로부터의 너울 형태의 파랑이 관측되었으며 변도 전달함수를 적용하여 영상으로부터 파랑 스펙트럼을 구하였다. 1996년 8월 15일 제주도 북쪽 연안의 RADARSAT SAR 영상에서 관측된 내부파는 여름철의 성층화된 해수에서 조류 전류시 조류가 해저 지형과의 상호 작용에 의하여 발생한 것으로 추측되며 솔리톤의 형태를 띠고 있다. 1997년 4월 3일 거제도 부근에서 발생한 유류오염 사고 3일 후에 획득한 RADARSAT SAR 영상에서는 사고 당시 유출된 기름들이 잘 나타났으나 복잡한 해안 지형과 생화학적 요인에 의한 다른 Slicks들도 함께 나타났다.

We reviewed literature focusing on the amounts of domestic production, distribution, and consumption of strong acids and their spill cases. In particular, we investigated the chemistry and toxicity of four strong acids classified as "accident preparedness substances," including hydrochloric, nitric, sulfuric, and hydrofluoric acid. We recommend sulfuric and hydrofluoric acid as the chemicals of priority control based on the amounts used and toxicity. An advanced prevention/response system needs to be established along with an improved human and social infrastructure to prevent and efficiently respond to chemical accidents. Understanding the behavior and transport of spilled strong acids in the soil and groundwater environments requires a multi-disciplinary approach since they go through a variety of chemical and biogeochemical reactions with complex geomedia. However, no such research has been done in this area in Korea to the best of our knowledge. We expect the results of this study to contribute as basic data to future research.

This study presents a technical perspective to the fate characteristics of phenol and m-cresol, which represent some of the most common organic chemicals found in chemical spill accidents, and likely to persist in soil and groundwater due to their highly stable physicochemical properties. Some cases of domestic and foreign chemical accidents linked to phenol and m-cresol contamination were compiled. Due to their low organic carbon-water partitioning coefficient (Koc), phenol and m-cresol tend to migrate into groundwater and remained as dissolved phase. On the other hands, phenol and m-cresol can be readily decomposed by microbes in soil and groundwater under appropriate conditions. Therefore, the fate characteristics of these chemicals are highly contingent on environmental conditions. Thus, if a great quantity of leakage is occurred by chemical accidents, the up-to-date and correct information about fate characteristics taking into account both the chemical and environmental conditions is greatly needed to minimized the potential hazards from these chemicals.

The Han River serves as an important water resource for the city of Seoul, Korea and in the neighboring metropolitan areas. From the Paldang dam to the Jamsil submerged weir, the 4 water intake stations that are located for the Seoul metropolitan population were under review in this study. Therefore the water quality management in this section is very important to monitor, analyze and review to rule out any safety concerns. In this study, a 3-D hydrodynamic model, EFDC (Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code), was applied to the downstream of the Paldang Dam in the Han River, which is about 23 km in length, to determine issues related to water resource management. The 3-D grid was composed of 2,168 horizontal grids and three vertical layers. In this case, the hydrodynamic model was calibrated and verified with an observed average daily water surface elevation, water temperature and flow rate data for 3 years (2013~2015). The developed EFDC model proved to reproduce the hydrodynamics of the Han River well. The composition ratios of the noted incoming flows at the monitored intake stations for 3 years and their flow patterns in the river were analyzed using the validated model. It was found that the flow of the Wangsuk Stream depended on the Paldnag dam discharge, and it was noted that the composition ratios of the stream at the intake stations changed accordingly. In a word, the Wangsuk Stream moved mainly along the right bank of the Han River under the condition of a normal dam flow. As can be seen, when the dam discharge rate was low, the incidence of lateral mixing was often seen. The scenario analyses were also conducted to predict the transport of conservative pollutants as in the case of a chemical spill accident. Generally speaking, when scenarios were applied, the arrival time and concentration of pollutants at each intake station was thus predicted.

우리나라에서는 연간 250건 이상의 해양 기름유출사고가 발생하고 있으며, 이는 지역 사회 및 환경에 큰 영향을 미친다. 국제협약 및 국내법에서는 오염자부담의 원칙을 바탕으로 기름유출에 대한 피해 배상을 유출 당사자에게 책임지도록 하고 있으며, 민·형사적 책임 규명을 위해 유출 행위자에 대한 적극적인 조사가 이루어지고 있다. 기름 유출사고의 행위자 조사의 중요성 확대에 따라서 CEN 15522-2, ASTM D 3248 등의 표준을 이용해 기름 시료 간의 유사성 판정을 하고 있다. 이 중 가장 활발히 활용되고 있는 유럽표준인 CEN 15522-2가 2023년 EN 15522-2로 3차 개정되었다. 본 연구는 EN 15522-2를 이용하여 국내 발생한 해양 기름유출사고 시료를 분석하고, 적용성에 대하여 확인하였다. 그 결과 경질유 유출사고가 40% 이상을 차지하는 국내 유출사고의 특징을 비춰볼 때 Adamamtanes와 같은 저비점의 물질이 추가된 EN 15522-2의 적용은 효용성이 높은 것으로 확인되었다.

최근 기후변화와 여름철 고온 등으로 인한 녹조현상, 사고발생으로 인한 화학물질 및 유류 유출 등 수질오염과 관련된 사회적 관심이 높아지고 있다. 수질오염 사례 중 화학사고로 인한 유해화학물질 유출은 인체에 접촉시 인체에 악영향을 끼치며, 대기·수질·토양을 오염시키고 주변 농작물의 변색이나 괴사를 유발하는 등 생태환경에 직접적인 피해가 발생한다. 하천으로 유출가능성이 있는 화학물질은 무색의 수용성인 경우가 많아 육안으로 유출 사실을 확인하기가 어렵다. 화학사고 발생시 화학물질의 탐지는 간이접촉식탐지장비를 이용하거나 화학물질의 유출이 우려되는 곳에 검출센서를 설치해 사고를 감시하고 있다. 이러한 접촉식 센서는 현장인력에 의존적이고, 설치식 검출센서 또한 제한적으로 설치되어 미설치 지역에 대한 능동적 탐지가 어렵다는 한계가 있다. 한편 최근 초분광 영상을 활용하여 물질 고유의 분광특성을 분석함으로써 토지피복, 식생, 수질 등의 식별에 활용되고 있다. 따라서 초분광 센서를 활용한 화학물질 감지 가능성도 보여주고 있지만 연구는 미비한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 수계로 유출되는 유해화학물질을 식별하기 위하여 접촉식 탐지 기술의 한계를 극복할 수 있는 원격탐사기법과 최신 센서기술을 활용하였다. 유해화학물질 18종을 대상으로 초분광 영상을 이용한 상호 구분이 가능한 지 확인하고자 해당 유해화학물질의 초분광 영상을 촬영하여 분광라이브러리를 구축하였다. 향후 연구를 통해 유해화학물질 분광라이브러리 데이터베이스를 확대하고, 하천 적용에 대한 검증을 실시한 후 실시간 모니터링에 적용할 경우 신속한 화학사고 발생여부 감지 및 대응에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
