발파진동을 계측하여 예측방법의 타당성을 검토하였고, 환경규제 기준으로의 변환방식을 규명하였다. 진동레벨과 진동속도의 환산거리 설계 적용성은 진동속도가 더 좋았다. 따라서 설계나 시공은 진동속도로 관리하고 이를 법적 기준인 진동레벨로 변환할 필요성이 있었다. 기존의 변환식 중에서 충격진동 데이터로만 구성하여 변환식을 구하였고, 동시에 측정된 진동속도와 진동레벨의 상관식에 의한 변환식을 구하였으며, 퓨리에 변환을 하여 각 주파수 별로 감각보정하여 진동레벨을 구하였다. 세 가지 방법을 이용하여 변환한 결과 모두 오차가 있으므로 변환에 의한 피해 보상의 판정에는 무리가 있었으나, 그 중에서 발파시 동시에 측정된 수직방향 성분 PPV와 진동레벨의 변환식이 가장 실용적으로 판단되었다.

The markers for Environmental Tobacco Smoke(ETS) a.e necessary to obtain, to interpretate and to provide the data of quantitative exposure assessment. The purpose of this research is to evaluate Indoor environment using the concentration of ETS and the correlations between markers(RSP, nicotine, 3-EP) and environmental conditions(smoking density, ventilation rate). The mean ACH(air change per hour) in smoking rooms showed non-compliance with ASHRAE standard value. The concentrations of RSP, 3-EP, nicotine showed log-normal distributions, and became different statistically depending on smoking condition(p<0.01). The geometric mean concentration of RSP in smoking room was 441.7 ${\mu}g/m^3$ that is far exceeded environmental standard(150 ${\mu}g/m^3$). The correlation coefficients between RSP and SI, 3-EP and SI, and Nicotine and SI were 0.67, 0.84, 0.74 respectively. The correlation coefficient between nicotine and 3-EP, Nicotine and RSP, and RSP and 3-EP were 0.76, 0.78, 0.57 respectively.

This study investigates the environmental footprint impacts of nuclear energy consumption in the presence of environmental technology and globalization of the ten largest ecological footprint countries from 1990 up to 2017. By considering a set of methods that can help solve the issue of cross-sectional dependence, we employ the Lagrange multiplier bootstrap cointegration method, Driscoll-Kraay standard errors for long-run estimation and feasible generalized least squares (FGLS) and panel-corrected standard errors (PCSE) for robustness. The finding revealed significant negative effects of nuclear energy consumption, environmental-related technology, population density and significant positive effects of globalization and economic growth on ecological footprint. These results are also robust by assessing the long-run impacts of predictors on carbon footprint and CO₂ emissions as alternate ecological measures. These conclusions provide the profound significance of nuclear energy consumption for environmentally sustainable development in the top ten ecological footprint countries and serve as an important reference for ecological security for other countries globally.

중소규모 조선소 주변지역의 입자상 물질, 악취, 소음과 같은 주요 민원 유발성 환경오염 특성을 평가하였다. 측정지점별 미세먼지 농도는 조선소와 근접해있는 측정지점이 조선소로부터 일정한 거리가 떨어진 지점보다 높은 것으로 나타났다. 조선소와 인접한 측정지점에서는 조선소의 조업이 이루어질 때의 평균농도가 휴가기간의 농도보다 높은 농도를 가지는 것으로 관찰되었다. 건성침착량은 조선 사업장에서 이루어지는 작업의 종류에 영향을 받으며 사업장과 가까울수록 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 공기희석관능법에 의한 악취도는 여름철에 높은 것으로 나타나 기온의 영향을 크게 받는 것으로 관찰되었다. 지정악취물질은 모든 측정지점에서 배출허용기준보다 높은 농도를 가지는 악취성분이 존재하였다. 배출허용기준치보다 높은 값을 가지는 화합물은 암모니아, 황화합물, 메틸아민이었으며 알데히드류와 스티렌의 농도는 최소감지값보다 적은 미량인 것으로 나타났다. 측정지점별 주간 소음도는 조선소로부터 일정한 거리가 떨어진 지점은 환경기준치보다 낮은 것으로 나타났으나 조선소와 인접한 지점들에서는 모든 조사기간의 소음도가 환경기준치를 초과하는 것으로 나타났다. 야간 소음도는 3차 조사기간을 제외하면 모든 측정지점에서 환경기준치보다 높은 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과들은 조선소 조업이 사업장 주변지역의 민원유발 환경오염에 영향을 미치며 적절한 대책을 수립할 필요가 있음을 보여준다.

상수용, 농업용 등으로 사용되고 있는 낙동강수계의 30개소 호소를 대상으로 새로운 환경기준인 TOC(총유기탄소, Total organic carbon)의 활용성을 평가하였다. 적극적인 수자원의 이용은 양호한 수질을 확보하는 것으로 시작된다. 이는 사람과 자연에게 질적 안정성을 유지할 수 있게 하므로 양호한 수질 확보를 위해 수질기준은 보다 엄격하게 강화되고 있다. 생활환경 중 호소의 유기물질 오염수준을 개선하는 데에는 적절한 유기물질 지표의 활용성이 중요하다. 대상호소에서는 새로 도입된 TOC와 기존에 사용하던 COD(화학적산소요구량, Chemical oxygen demand)간의 상호성이 양의 관계로 나타났는데 이는 TOC의 COD 대체가능성을 의미한다. 그러나 TOC를 활용한 환경기준의 등급이 COD를 활용한 환경기준의 등급보다 더 양호한 것으로 나타나 TOC를 유기물질인자로 이용한 수질등급 수준이 완화된 것과 동일한 효과를 지니게 된다. 이것은 호소의 유기물질 지표를 활용하여 질적 수준을 판단하거나 개선하고자 할 때에 기존의 COD에 직접적으로 대체하기에 TOC의 한계를 나타내는 것이다. 따라서 호소의 질적 안전성을 확보하기 위해서는 수질등급 면에서 TOC의 환경기준 강화가 요구된다. 또 호소의 이용특성에 따라 TOC와 COD간의 상관성에도 큰 차이를 나타내고 있다. 이에 대한 명확한 과학적 규명이 필요하며, 이를 위해 호소의 유기물질 지표의 축적에 기존에 사용하던 COD의 지속적인 모니터링이 요구된다.

In this study, various techniques for measurement and analysis of PAHs in the ambient air were verified in order to select a more reliable method. Sampling and analysis of PAHs were done by the EPA TO-13a method. QA/QC of the measurement was conducted to minimize errors in sampling and analyzing processes. The linearity of calibration curve of the PAH standards was good ($R^2{\geq}0.99$). Audit accuracy was evaluated using 5 internal standards of PAHs ($Naphthalene-d_8,\;Acenaphthene-d_{10},\;Phenanthrene-d_{10},\;Chrysene-d_{12},\;Perylene-d_{12}$). Relative standard deviations of the internal standard of the PAHs were ranged from 6.22% for $acenaphthene-d_{10}$ to 8.11% for $chrysene-d_{12}$. To evaluate the surrogate recoveries, two field surrogate standards of PAHs ($fluoranthene-d_{10},\;benzo(a)pyrene-d_{12}$) and two extract surrogate standards of the PAHs ($fluorene-d_{10},\;pyrene-d_{12}$) were spiked into all samples before field sampling and sample extraction, respectively. Recoveries of field the surrogate standards ranged from $80.4{\pm}12.2%$ for $fluoranthene-d_{10}$ to $66.2{\pm}12.8%$ for $benzo(a)pyrene-d_{12}$. Extraction recoveries of the surrogate standards ranged from $70.4{\pm}10.2%$ for $fluorene-d_{10}$ to $77.6{\pm}10.8%$ for $pyrene-d_{10}$. The detection limit of benzo(a)pyrene among 16 PAHs standards for quantitation was 20 pg.

An artificial neural network is applied to the prediction of compressive strength, slump value of concrete. Standard mixed tables arc trained and estimated, and the results are compared with those of experiments. To consider the varieties of material properties, the standard mixed tables of two companies of Ready Mixed Concrete are used. And they are trained with the neural network. In this paper, standard back propagation network is used. For the arrangement on the approval of prediction of compressive strength and slump value, the standard compressive strength of 210, $240kgf/cm^2$ and target slump value of 12, 15cm are used because the amount of production of that range arc the most at ordinary companies. In results, in the prediction of compressive strength and slump value, the predicted values are converged well to those of standard mixed tables at the target error of 0.10, 0.05, 0.001 regardless of two companies.

This experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of heavy metals (copper, cadmium, lead and chrome) on the growth of plant and seed germination of Arabidopsis thaliana treated with various concentrations of heavy metals. Cadmium and chrome among the 4 heavy metals had no effect on the growth of stem even in the concentration fifty times higher than the official standard concentration of pollutant exhaust notified by the Ministry of Environment. The official standard concentration of cadmium, however, stimulated the growth of stem in general, increasing leaf size and surface area, although it had no effect on the length of stem. But the growth of stem was decreased about 18% in the official standard concentration of pollutant exhaust of lead and copper. There was no growth of root in the concentration of lead and copper ten times higher than the official standard concentration. Cadmium and chrome had no effect on the seed germination, but lead and copper decreased the rate of seed germination. Seeds were not germinated in the concentration of copper ten times higher than the official standard concentration and in the concentration of lead fifty times higher than the official standard concentration. From this research three peculiar results were obtained. Chrome in the soil did not have much effect on the plant growth and seed germination of Arabidopsis thaliana. Cadmium stimulated the stem growth in an optimum concentration. But lead and copper reduced the plant growth and seed germination even in a small concentration, especially copper had the worse effect.

In this study, total organic carbon (TOC) and potassium permanganate ($KMnO_4$) demand were examined for raw and finished tap water and the range of $KMnO_4$ demand in drinking water was investigated. By analyzing the relationship between TOC and $KMnO_4$ demand, the applicability of TOC as a drinking water standard and its regulation level was proposed. The average $KMnO_4$ demand was 1.3 mg/L in 4,638 samples from finished drinking water, tap water and finished water from small facilities. $KMnO_4$ demand of 95% of samples was 2.9 mg/L which was 29% of the drinking water standard (10 mg/L). At 12 major drinking water treatment plants, the average $KMnO_4$ demand in July and August was 8.1 and 2.4 mg/L for raw and finished water, respectively. TOC in July and August was 2.0 and 1.15 mg/L for raw and finished water, respectively. The correlation coefficient between $KMnO_4$ demand and TOC was as high as 0.8 in both raw and finished water and $KMnO_4$ demand was twice of TOC in finished water. Because the correlation coefficient and ratio between $KMnO_4$ demand and TOC varied according to season and the characteristics of raw water, it would be difficult to establish TOC standard just from the ratio of $KMnO_4$ demand to TOC. However, it is possible to set the TOC range based on the accumulated $KMnO_4$ demand data or from the satisfactory correlation results. Then, it would be reasonable to establish TOC standard level as 4 ~ 5 mg/L.
