Fishery products play an important role in Korean food culture, and awareness of the safety of fishery products is increasing in the seafood market. Against this backdrop, Japan has announced a plan to release radioactive water to the sea from 2023. In the case of Korea, it is adjacent to the area to be discharged, so there are concerns about securing the safety of marine products. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the change in perception and impact of marine product consumers due to the discharge of contaminated water and to study appropriate countermeasures when discharging contaminated water from nuclear power plants. In this study, the current status of radioactive contaminated water discharge in Japan was summarized, and a survey was conducted on the change in the consumption perception of marine products according to the discharge of contaminated water to analyze the factors affecting the consumption change of domestic consumers. According to the survey, 85.3% of the respondents said that it will affect the purchase of domestic marine products if Japan starts discharging contaminated water from nuclear power plants. Moreover, 85.5% of the respondents said it will affect the purchase of imported marine products.

When rivers and lakes are contaminated with numerous contaminants, usually the contaminants are finally deposited on the sediments of the waterbody. Many clean up technologies have been developed for the contaminated sediments. Among several technologies dredging is one of the best methods because dredging removes all the contaminated sediments from the water and the contaminated sediments can be completely treated with physical and chemical methods. However the most worried phenomenon is suspension of fine particles during the dredging process. The suspended particle can release contaminants into water and resulted in spread of the contaminants and the increase of risk due to the resuspension of the precipitated contaminants such as heavy metals and toxic organic compounds. Therefore the success of the dredging process depends on the prevention of resuspension of fine particles. Advanced dredging processes employ pumping the sediment with water onto a ship and release the turbid water pumped with sediment into waterbody after collection of sediment solids. Before release of the turbid water into lake or river, just a few minutes allowed to precipitate the suspended particle due to the limited area on a dredging ship. However the fine particle cannot be removed by the gravitational settling over a few minutes. Environmental technology such as coagulation and precipitation could be applied for the settling of fine particles. However, the process needs coagulants and big settling tanks. For the quick settling of the fine particles suspended during dredging process magnetic separation has been tested in current study. Magnetic force increased the settling velocity and the increased settling process can reduce the volume of settling tank usually located in a ship for dredging. The magnetic assisted settling also decreased the heavy metal release through the turbid water by precipitating highly contaminated particles with magnetic force.

Peroxide is used frequently to provide electron acceptors to aerobes for the purpose of in situ bioremediation of contaminated soil/sediment. In this study, oxygen release rate of peroxides and factors affecting on dissolution and diffusion of oxygen into pore water were evaluated. Peroxides studied in this study were magnesium peroxide ($MgO_2$), calcium peroxide ($CaO_2$), and sodium percarbonate ($Na_2CO_3{\cdot}1.5H_2O_2$). $Na_2CO_3{\cdot}1.5H_2O_2$ showed the highest oxygen release rate per unit mass and the shortest release duration time among three peroxides. A simple first-order decay model for predicting the release rate of oxygen from peroxide into pore water was presented and used to fit the experimental data. The first order oxygen release rate constants k for $MgO_2$, $CaO_2$ and $Na_2CO_3{\cdot}1.5H_2O_2$ were 0.45 /hr, 3.22 /hr and 134 /hr, respectively. If $MgO_2$ was mixed with clay, oxygen release rate was lowered significantly mainly due to limitation of contact area and diffusion, implying that oxygen can be provided to the indigenous aerobes for the extended period of time.

중금속으로 오염된 부지는 다양한 공법으로 복원이 가능하나 오염부지가 비교적 넓은 경우 중금속을 부지로부터 제거하는 적극적 공법은 기술적 어려움과 비용의 문제로 쉽게 사용할 수 없다. 그러므로 토양에서 중금속의 용출을 차단 및 지연하는 안정화 공법이 보다 현실적이라 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 국내의 비교적 큰 규모의 중금속 오염토양인 제련소 오염토양을 대상으로 magnetite, hematite, zeolite-A, zeolite-X, zeolite-Y, zinc oxide, calcium oxide, carbon trioxide, manganese oxide, manganese dioxide, fish bone, sodium phosphate 등의 다양한 안정화제의 적용성실험을 수행하였다. 비소, 납, 구리, 니켈, 아연 등의 다중 중금속으로 오염된 토양의 경우 1종의 안정화제로 안정화가 어려우며 기존 연구에서 보고된 특정 중금속의 안정화에 우수한 성능을 갖는 안정화제의 경우에도 다른 중금속의 안정화에 기여하지 못하거나 용출을 촉진하는 경향을 보였다. 시간이 경과함에 따라 안정화 효율이 증가하였다. 니켈과 납의 경우 calcium oxide, carbon trioxide, manganese oxide 등의 안정화제가 효과가 있으며 특히 연속추출에서 물에 의한 추출부분에서 안정화 효율이 높았다. 구리의 경우 manganese oxide, zeolite 등이 효과가 크며 연속추출에서 exchangeable 추출부분에서 안정화 효율이 높았다. 비소의 경우 magnetite에 의한 안정화 효과를 보이며 대부분의 metal oxide와 phosphate 에 의해 용출이 촉진되는 부작용을 보였다. 그러므로 다양한 중금속으로 오염된 토양의 경우 2종 이상의 안정화제를 사용하여야 하며 역효과를 일으키는 안정화제의 사용을 배제하고 중금속의 농도에 따라 사용량 및 안정화 기간을 달리하여야 할 것으로 판단된다.

후쿠시마 원전 사고가 일어난 지 10년이 지난 지금까지도 일본은 매일 생성되는 원전 오염수 문제를 해결하지 못하고 있다. 그들은 오염수 저장탱크가 한계에 다다를 것으로 예상되자, 안전성에 관한 한국의 우려에도 일방적으로 원전 오염수를 해양에 방출하기로 했다. 문제는 한국의 대응에도 불구하고, 여전히 일본이 『유엔해양법협약』상 의무를 성실히 이행하지 않은 채 해양 방출을 준비하고 있다는 데 있다. 원전 오염수의 방사성물질로 인한 해양오염은 물론, 한국의 해양주권 침탈까지도 우려되는 상황이다. 특히 한번 환경이 오염되기 시작하면 본래의 상태로 되돌리기 어렵기에, 당장 안전성이 보장되지 않는 한 원전 오염수의 해양 방출은 반드시 막아야 한다. 본 논문은 일본과 한국이 원전 오염수 해양 방출 사안으로 빚은 갈등을 해결하기 위한 한국의 대응 전략을 제안한다. 한국은 일본과의 협력, 잠정조치, 주변국과의 공조를 통해 다양한 측면에서 일본의 원전 오염수 해양 방출에 대응해야 할 것이다.

인위적 중금속 오염 토양은 중금속용액과 토양 간 흡착평형, 여과 또는 원심분리, 건조과정을 거쳐 완성되어 토양세척 및 토양독성 실험에 널리 이용되고 있다. 그러나 많은 문헌에서 실험에 사용한 오염토양이 건조과정 이후 충분한 세척을 마친 후 사용되었는지 불분명하다. 본 연구는 중금속 오염 토양 제조 과정에서 최종 세척과정이 중금속 오염 농도에 미치는 영향을 파악하고자 하였다. 3가지 대표적 중금속 오염 토양 제조방법(슬러리 건조법, 평형 후 건조법, 여과 후 건조법)에 의한 중금속(Cd, Pb) 오염 농도 차이를 파악하고 이후 최종 세척과정이 제조 중금속 오염 토양 농도에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 중금속용액과 토양을 흡착평형 시킨 후 건조과정만을 거쳐 제조한 오염토양 내 중금속은 이후 단순 세척과정에서 50% 이상 용탈되는 것으로 나타났다. 중금속용액과 토양 간 흡착평형을 거쳐 중금속 오염 토양을 제조한 경우 실험 전 충분한 세척을 거치지 않는다면 이후 토양세척 및 토양독성 실험 결과에 지대한 영향을 미칠 것으로 예상된다. 그러므로 제조오염토양을 이용한 실험에서는 초기 중금속 농도 결정 시점을 중금속 흡착 완료 단계가 아닌, 흡착 후 충분한 세척이 완료된 이후 초기 토양중금속 농도로 결정하는 것이 바람직하다.

Contaminated marine sediment is a secondary pollution source in the coastal areas, which can result in increased nutrients concentrations in the overlying water. We analyzed the nutrients release characteristics into overlying water from sediments and the interaction among benthic circulation of nitrogen, phosphorus, iron, and sulfur were investigated in a preset sediment/water column. Profiles of pH, ORP, sulfur, iron, nitrogen, phosphorus pools were determined in the sediment and three different layers of overlying water. Variety types of sulfur in the sediments plays a significant role on nutrients transfer into overlying water. Dissimilatory nitrate reduction and various sulfur species interaction are predominantly embodied by the enhancing effects of sulfide on nitrogen reduction. Contaminant sediment take on high organic matter, which is decomposed by bacteria, as a result promote bacterial sulfate reduction and generate sulfide in the sediment. The sulfur and iron interactions had also influence on phosphorus cycling and released from sediment into overlying water may ensue over the dissolution of ferric iron intercede by iron-reducing bacteria. The nutrients release rate was calculated followed by release rate equation. The results showed that the sediments released large-scale quantity of ammonium nitrogen and phosphate, which are main inner source of overlying water pollution. A mechanical migration of key nutrients such as ammonia and inorganic phosphate was depicted numerically with Fick's diffusion law, which showed a fair agreement to most of the experimental data.

Several chemical washing procedures were applied to Parathion and Diazinon contaminated soil. Batch and column tests were performed to determine the insecticides extraction efficiency as a function of pH. Washing efficiency of methanol is more higher than that of water and HCl when washed parathion and diazinon are. Those are completely miscible with most organic solvents. For parathion, release trend is increased as pH is increased because it is hydrolyzed easily at the condition of alkali. But diazinon shows reverse because diazinon is decomposed rapidly at the condition of acidic So, diazinon is more released than parathion is because this experiment is peformed in acidic and weak acidic conditions. Generally, parathion and diazinon are classified as having low mobility, so they can be easily controlled if the proper washing process are applied.

We evaluated the performance of in-situ capping to prevent the release of phenol, one of hazardous chemicals of concern for their impact on sediment. Sediment near the estuary of Hyeongsan River, Korea, and commercially-available sand were collected to evaluate their physical properties and phenol sorption characteristics. Biodegradation kinetics of phenol spiked into the sediment was evaluated under freshwater and estuarine salinity conditions. These experimental measurements were parameterized and used as input parameters for executing CapSim, a software predicting the performance of in-situ capping. The CapSim simulation demonstrated that capping with 50-cm sand reduced the phenol release by several orders of magnitude over 0.25- and 1-year duration for almost all simulation scenarios. The variables tested, i.e., cap thickness, pore-water movement, and biodegradation rate, showed high correlation to each other to influence the extent of phenol release from sediment to the water column. The findings and the framework employed to evaluate the performance of in-situ capping in this study can be adopted to determine whether in-situ capping is appropriate remedial approach at sediment sites impacted by hazardous chemicals due to accidental spills.
