Objectives: On September 27, 2012, leakage of anhydrous hydrofluoric acid occurred in a chemical plant in the Gumi National Industrial Complex. Following the accident, local factory workers and residents complained of abnormal health conditions. In addition, visual discolorations were widely observed in crops and trees in surrounding areas. The main objectives of the present study were to identify the area that was affected by the spill using data obtained from plants, soil, and water samples after the accident. Methods: Fluoride concentrations were analyzed in pine tree needles, soil, nearby streams, ponds and reservoirs collected from an area within a radius of three kilometers from the plant where the leak occurred. Fluoride concentrations in the air at the time of leakage were then estimated from fluoride concentrations that were measured in the pine tree needles. A Kriged map was developed to describe the spatial distribution of hydrofluoric acid at the time of the leakage and was compared with the area designated as a Special Disaster Zone by the government. Results: The Special Disaster Zone did not include all the affected area that was estimated by the Kriged map. Analytical results of the environmental samples also supported this discrepancy. Conclusion: Using plants, atmospheric concentrations of fluoride at the time of the leakage could be estimated. For the area that was identified as affected, further public health risk assessment and environmental risk assessment should be considered. Also, in the absence of air monitoring at the time of leakage, studies employing plants may be conducted in order to better understand the spatial extent and severity of the contamination.

Geopark refers to a single boundary area consisting of a collection of geosites and geotrails, which includes ecological, historical and cultural elements based on geological and geomorphological resources. To ensure the continued development and conservation of existing listed geoparks, it is necessary to carry out an environmental sensitivity analysis of the geopark components by utilizing spatial information from various scales. The objectives of this study are to analyze the environmental sensitivity in Cheongsong UNESCO global geopark in relation with slope disaster using GIS and to understand its spatial distribution in connection with geosites and geotrails. Two types of spatial database were constructed; geosites and geotrails in Cheongsong UNESCO global geopark and spatial data to perform environmental sensitivity. Potential soil loss and slope stability were analyzed to derive environmental sensitivity related to slope hazard. The results showed relatively high environmental sensitivity along the drainage network of Cheongsong UNESCO global geopark. Zonal statistics analysis was conducted for further detailed distribution of environmental sensitivity based on buffer zones of geosites and geotrails. Majority of geological sites, geological trails, Jeolgol gorge~Jusan Pond section in hiking trails, and Dalgi Mineral Spring Site~Artistic Genius Republic of Korea(Jangnankki gonghwaguk) section in road areas show relatively high slope hazard sensitivity within buffer zones.

대한민국 총 인구에서 50세 이상 준고령자가 차지하는 비율은 2010년 29.2%에서 2015년 34.8%로 증가하였다. 이에 따라 전체 건설근로자 대비 50세 이상 건설근로자의 비율은 2010년 20.1%에서 2015년 27.0%로 증가하였다. 이러한 노령화 시대에 맞추어 건설업계에서는 장년근로자들에 대한 재해예방대책을 주어진 사업목표, 예산집행 등을 절차에 맞게 충실히 수행해왔으나 근본적인 재해예방에 한계가 있었다. 이는 건설재해예방의 대책들이 아직까지 장년근로자보다는 전 연령을 고려하고 있기 때문이라 판단된다. 본 연구에서는 건설현장에서의 장년근로자의 안전보건실태를 조사하고 재해감소방안을 제시하였다. 특히 급격히 증가되고 있는 장년근로자의 재해를 감소시키기 위하여 관련문헌 및 안전규정과 산업재해원인통계, 산업재해현황통계 등을 고찰하고, 전국 건설현장에서 공사활동에 직접 참여하고 있는 근로자 3,549명을 대상으로 한 설문조사를 통해 안전보건 실태를 조사, 그간의 재해예방사업 추진현황 및 문제점 분석 등을 통한 재해감소 종합대책을 제시하였다. 본 논문에서 제시한 대책을 실제 정책에 반영할 수 있다면 점진적으로 증가추세인 건설현장에서의 장년근로자 재해를 줄일 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

최근 한반도를 내습하는 폭풍의 규모가 커지고 이에 대한 피해도 증가하고 있는 실정이어서 외해로 개방된 도서해역이나 연안역에 대한 재해방지를 위한 설계파라메터의 재산정이 필요한 상황이다. 기존의 설계 파라메타는 심해 설계파랑이나 바람자료만을 입력값으로 한 규칙파 모형으로 계산되어, 바람에 의한 파의 성장, 파랑 상호간의 간섭 및 에너지 재분포 등을 다룰 수 없는 문제점에 노출되어 있었다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 이러한 파랑과 바람에 의한 파의 발달 및 상호간섭을 고려할 수 있는 정상상태 스펙트럼 모델의 하나인 SWAn(Simulation WAves Nearshore)모형을 이용하여 파랑변형 수치모의를 수행하였다. 연구 대상영역에 대한 기존의 설계 파라메타의 비교 결과, 기존 결과와 큰 차이를 나타내고 있으며, 특히, 이들 해역에서 도출된 결과는 장래 항만설계 및 방재 분야에서 널리 이용될 것으로 판단된다.

This study was conducted in Ningxia Hui autonomous region, located at southern part of Mu Us sand land in China. To investigate relationships between windbreak effect and installation cost of sand barriers, plastic net is utilized by using four kind of heights (0.2, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5m) and four kind of porosities (20, 30, 50 and 70%). These heights and porosities are measured for estimating distances for effective windbreak. It is shown that porosity and the distance have a positive relationship at same heights and porosity on ground indicates a constant figure when height reaches a certain level, regardless of the porosity. This implies that there is a difference of level of windbreak with different porosities; however, distance of windbreak effect is same at the same height of sand barrier. As a result of comparison between porosity of sand barrier on the ground and installation cost in each sand barrier with various heights and porosities (16 combinations), 0.4m and 0.5m height sand barriers describe highest economical efficiency. Within two variables, we concluded that height has a higher impact on windbreak effect than porosity.

Objectives: Despite recent efforts to prevent suffocation disasters, a number of confined space accidents still happen and each year deaths continue to occur. There have been insufficient studies on the dangers of various potential disaster sites, such as manholes, septic tanks, reactors, and other tanks according to type, characteristics, task-specific disasters, equipment specific disasters, etc. The purpose of this study was to analyze recent suffocation disasters based on place and properties. Methods: In this study, we analyzed confined space accident cases from 2005 to 2015 in Korea and grouped them by type, size, monthly occurrence, continuous service period, accident location, person-specific group, age, employment, structural work and subcontracting work. We studied examples of accidents developed in other countries. Results: (1) We reviewed confined-space accident statistics, compared legal standards and analyzed cases of suffocation accidents in the United States and Japan. (2) Using a case study report from the Korea Occupational Safety & Health Agency, we specified confined-space accident statistics based on place, person-specific group, age, employment, structural work and subcontracting work. As a result we generated some precautions about confined-space accidents for the prevention of such accidents. Conclusions: Conclusions: Statistical analysis of recent suffocation disaster cases was performed to establish improvement measures, compare practices from developed countries, and develop precautionary measures accordingly. In this study, we presented the causes of disaster that occur in a confined space and proposed related preventive measures.

A two-dimensional (2D) reservoir hydrodynamics and water quality model, CE-QUAL-W2, is employed to simulate the hydrothermal behavior and density current regime in Andong Reservoir. Observed data used for model forcing and calibration includes: surface water level, water temperature, dissolved oxygen and suspended solids concentration. The model was calibrated to the year of 2003 and verified with continuous run from 2000 till 2004. Without major adjustments, the model accurately simulated surface water levels including the events of large storm. Deep-water reservoirs, like Andong Reservoir, located in the Asian Monsoon region begin to stratify in summer and overturn in fall. This mixing pattern as well as the descending thermocline, onset and duration of stratification and timing of turnover phenomenon were well reproduced by the Andong Model. The temperature field and distinct thermocline are simulated to within $2^{\circ}C$ of observed data. The model performed well in simulating not only the dissolved oxygen profiles but also the metalimnetic dissolved minima phenomenon, a common1y occurring phenomenon in deep reservoirs of temperate regions. The Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) values of model calibration for surface water elevation, temperature and dissolved oxygen were 0.0095 m, $1.82^{\circ}C$, and $1.13\;mg\;L^{-1}$, respectively. The turbid storm runoff, during the summer monsoon, formed an intermediate layer of about 15 m thickness, moved along the metalimnion until being finally discharged from the dam. This mode of transport of density current, a common characteristic of various other large reservoirs in the Asian summer monsoon region, was well tracked by the model.

The role of geophysics in Environmental Earth Sciences and Engineering is considered. In the developing era since 60's in Japan, geophysics has mainly contributed to investigation of new constructions such as tunnels, dams and high-rise buildings. In the coming sustainable era, geophysics must be used for maintaining the safe and easy human life. Application examples of geophysics to investigations for disaster prevention, maintenance of existing constructions and soil and groundwater pollutions are presented to demonstrate their role in Environmental Geo-engineering. Future subjects in this field for geophysics and geophysicists are also discussed.
