With the adoption of the Paris Agreement, a new climate regime is intensifying the global interest in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In the meantime, Korea is preparing to introduce a new renewable energy carbon certification system in order to activate the use of renewable energy and to reduce carbon emissions in the entire life cycle of manufacturing and disposal of renewable energy facilities. Therefore, this study aims to identify the implications for the introduction of the carbon certification system and to establish a theoretical basis for the system design by examining the status of overseas carbon certification, international trade norms and trade disputes. As a result, carbon emissions certification is being implemented in developed countries such as EU, UK, France, USA and Japan, but only France, Germany and EU have adopted carbon certification for renewable energy sector. The analysis of the WTO TBT Agreement and GATT also confirmed the possibility of a violation of the international trade rules of the carbon certification system and derived nine international technical standards related to carbon certification. Finally, by examining the case of trade disputes related to environmental labeling, the minimum requirements to be considered at the institutional design stage were drawn to eliminate the possibility of trade disputes.

It is very important to know the probability distribution of water-quality constituents for water-quality control and management of rivers and reservoirs effectively. The probability distribution of BOD in Anseong Stream was analyzed in this paper using Kolmogorov-Smirnov test which is widely used goodness-of-fit method. It was known that the distribution of BOD in Anseong Stream is closer to Log-normal, Gamma and Weibull distributions than Normal distribution. Normal distribution can be partially applied depending on significance level, but Log-normal, Gamma and Weibull distributions can be used in any significance level. Also the estimated Log-normal distribution of BOD at Jinwi3 station was to be compared with the measured in 2001, 2002 and 2003 years. It was revealed that the estimated probability distribution of BOD at Jinwi3 follows a theoretical distribution very well. The applicable probability distribution of BOD can be used to explain more rigorously and scientifically the achievement or violation of target concentration in TMDL(Total Maximum Daily Load).

This study conducted a comparative analysis on ordinances on landscape composition by local governments, which are a part of the policy to activate landscape composition, by examining the cases of Korea and Japan. For the purpose of specialized landscape compositions according to the own characteristics of Korean local governments, this study suggests factors to consider on the enactment of ordinance on landscape composition as follows. First, in order to compose landscape with an unique figure of the local government, it is required to collect and analyze informations about the local landscape, to provide consistent programs of education and publicity related to the landscape composition and to encourage the involvement of local citizens and reward it. Second, the construction of the ordinance needs to build a plan of landscape composition for each district focused on the landscape composition, to introduce a system which enables self-designation of an ordinance, to establish a detailed guidance, to assign the duty to keep the guidance and regulate punishment in case of a violation of the guidance. It could be done by completing the common or basic elements on the construction of the ordinance on landscape composition.

본 연구에서는 초보운전자의 교통사고 위험성을 줄이고 초보운전자 교육프로그램 개발의 기초자료를 제공하기 위하여 초보운전자에 대한 심리적 특성 및 운전행동에 관한 분석을 실시하였다. 이때 초보운전자의 심리적 부분은 위험인식정도 및 교통상황 이해도를 확인하는 설문조사를 실시하였으며 주 내용은 위험예측 및 예측불허행동에 관한 특성별 범주로 분류하여 파악하였다. 그리고 차량시뮬레이터를 활용하여 초보 및 일반운전자와의 운전행동 특성을 비교 분석하고 통계결과를 토대로 초보운전자의 실제 운전행동에 있어서의 안전진단과 교통안전교육 기초연구의 방향성을 제시 하였다. 본 연구 분석결과, 운전자의 위험예측, 과속, 위반, 정보제공생략, 갑작스러운 변화, 사고건수 모든 부분에서 초보운전자가 일반운전자에 비해 높은 평균값이 나타났다. 또한 초보운전자가 일반운전자에 비해 통계적으로 유의한 위험수준을 보여주었는데 확인된 대상은 위험예측능력, 위반, 갑작스러운 변화, 교통사고건수이었고 그 이외의 과속 수준과 정보제공생략 수준은 초보운전자와 일반운전자 모두 유사한 결과를 보여주었다. 그리고 차량시뮬레이터 실험 결과는 초보운전자가 일반운전자들에 비해 전반적으로 운전 수행능력이 저조한 것으로 나타났다. 특히 충돌횟수에서의 확연한 차이를 보여주었는데 이는 초보운전자들이 일반운전자들에 비해 복잡한 도로교통 상황에서 운전경험과 학습능력이 부족하기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 한편 초보운전자들은 일반운전자들에 비해 속도조절 능력, 위험예측 능력, 도로교통상황에 대한 인식 및 대처능력 등 전반적인 운전기술의 부족으로 인해 주행안정성이 낮은 것으로 분석되었다. 이러한 결과는 초보운전자들이 일반운전자에 비해 안전운전교육 학습기회의 결여와 운전경험 미숙 등에 따른 것으로 판단되며 운전 상황에 대한 위험예측능력이 낮은 것으로 해석할 수 있다. 결론적으로 이러한 분석결과는 실제 운전상황에서 초보운전자 자신뿐만 아니라 타인에게도 위험 요소로서 작용할 가능성이 높으므로 적절한 안전대책이 필요한 것으로 판단된다.

Water quality data from water treatment plants in Korea during 1994-1998 were investigated to find out the characteristics of their non compliance. The number of plants surveyed were approximately 600 and the number of samples were over 30,000. Ten parameters of water quality selected in this study and their non compliance % (inside parenthesis) were as follows: Heterotrophic plate count (0.14%), Total coliforms (0.08%), $NH_3$-N (0.29%), $NO_3$-N (0.14%), THMs (0.02%), Turbidity (0.11%), Residual chlorine (5.5%), $KMnO_4$ consumption (0.04%), Hardness (0.03%), pH (0.07%). These levels of non compliance were compared to those obtained from WIDB (Water Industry Database, 1996) of American Water Works Association. This study strongly supported that small water plants (<10,000 tons/day) were more vulnerable in meeting the regulation criteria of many water quality parameters such as Heterotrophic plate count. Total coliforms, $NO_3$-N, THMs, Turbidity, Residual chlorine, $KMnO_1$ consumption, Hardness and pH. The $NH_3$-N concentration was especially high in winter and its violation was frequently found in the specific areas such as the downstream of major rivers. The average THMs concentration was surprisingly low, indicating $13{\mu}g/L$ which is 43% of US. Accordingly, these characteristics must be reflected in establishing the effective management of water quality policy of drinking water in Korea.

Objectives: Since 1998, the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) has been conducted in order to investigate the health and nutritional status of Koreans. The food intake data of individuals in the KNHANES has also been utilized as source dataset for risk assessment of chemicals via food. To improve the reliability of intake estimation and prevent missing data for less-responded foods, the structure of integrated long-standing datasets is significant. However, it is difficult to merge multi-year survey datasets due to ineffective cleaning processes for handling extensive numbers of codes for each food item along with changes in dietary habits over time. Therefore, this study aims at 1) cleaning the process of abnormal data 2) generation of integrated long-standing raw data, and 3) contributing to the production of consistent dietary exposure factors. Methods: Codebooks, the guideline book, and raw intake data from KNHANES V and VI were used for analysis. The violation of the primary key constraint and the $1^{st}-3rd$ normal form in relational database theory were tested for the codebook and the structure of the raw data, respectively. Afterwards, the cleaning process was executed for the raw data by using these integrated codes. Results: Duplication of key records and abnormality in table structures were observed. However, after adjusting according to the suggested method above, the codes were corrected and integrated codes were newly created. Finally, we were able to clean the raw data provided by respondents to the KNHANES survey. Conclusion: The results of this study will contribute to the integration of the multi-year datasets and help improve the data production system by clarifying, testing, and verifying the primary key, integrity of the code, and primitive data structure according to the database normalization theory in the national health data.

BACKGROUND: The demand for pesticide registration has kept increasing for minor crop cultivation in greenhouse since Positive List System (PLS) has been launched. Thus, much study on the evaluation of pesticide residues in minor crops is required to examine the demand. In this study, we evaluated residues of acetamiprid, boscalid, imidacloprid and pyraclostrobin in the minor crop mustard green to provide the potential data for their registration. METHODS AND RESULTS: Pesticide granule formulations of acetamiprid, boscalid, imidacloprid and pyraclostrobin were incorporated into soil and applied onto field soil surface at rates of 3 kg/10a, 6 kg/10a, 3 kg/10a and 6 kg/10a, respectively. The pesticides were also applied at the two times higher than the rates to compare the residues between the application rates. Mustard green seeds were sown 1 day after pesticide application and cultivated under greenhouse conditions. LC/MS/MS analyses coupled with a modified QuEChERs method were employed for determination of the pesticides in plant samples. The method limits of quantitation (LOQ) of the pesticides were 0.01 mg/kg, and the matrix calibration curves of the pesticides showed linearity with coefficient values of determination (r²) greater than 0.995. The average recovery values of the pesticides fortified in control samples at rates of LOQ and 10LOQ ranged from approximately 77.5% to 101.2% with relative standard deviation values lower than 14%. The pesticides in the mustard green samples cultivated for 53 days after sown were determined to be lower than the LOQ level. CONCLUSION: Acetamiprid, boscalid, imidacloprid and pyraclostrobin were found at a level lower than 0.01 mg/kg in the minor crop mustard green. Thus, their residues in mustard green would not violate PLS under greenhouse conditions.

BACKGROUND: Pesticide uptake by a rotational crop after being used for the primary crop is a potential cause of violation against the pesticide law if the pesticide is not registered in the secondary crop. This study was conducted to investigate the plant back interval (PBI) of fluopyram for the rotational cultivation of radish. METHODS AND RESULTS: Two experimental approaches were performed the evaluation of residues in radish cultivated successively in soil 16 days after treated with fluopyram onto pepper plant (T1) and in radish cultivated in bare soil treated with fluopyram at PBI 30 and PBI 60 days (T2). A modified QuEChERS method coupled with LC/MS/MS analysis showed good linearity of matrix-matched standard calibration of fluopyram with the coefficient values of determination greater than 0.995. Recovery values at levels of 0.01, 0.05, 0.1 and 0.25 mg/kg ranged from average 84.9 to 117.6% with RSD less than 10%. Fluopyram residues in radish harvested from T1 and T2 were found as levels less than maximum residue limit. CONCLUSION: This study suggests 20~30 days as the PBI of fluopyram for the rotational cultivation of radish in the greenhouse soil treated with fluopyram used for pepper as the primary crop.
