This study investigated the change of metal contamination levels according to amendment of enforcement regulation of the Soil Environmental Conservation Act in Korea. As an analytical result of 87 samples in abandoned metallic mine area, the extracted amount of As, Pb and Cu with aqua regia was 4.3~29.6 times higher than that with hydrochloric acid extraction and the number of samples, which contamination levels were found to exceed soil contamination standards, was also increased. On the other hand, in case of Cd, Zn, and Ni, the number of samples, which contamination levels were found to exceed soil contamination standards, was decreased or similar. These results can be used as a preliminary material in comparison between the soil pollution data accumulated previously and the data obtained by the revised standard method for the examination of soil pollution.

Nitrogen is an element required to meet optimal plant growth. However, when it was applied (as chemical fertilizer or animal waste) more than the demand of plant and managed it unreasonably can be accumulated in subsoil and leached from soil system. Nitrogen also can be act as an pollutant to soil and water through water contamination if its concentration exceed the critical level. The concentration and downward movement of nitrate in soil is influenced by cultural practices and soil properties. High level of nitrate nitrogen in drinking water is harzadrous for animal and human health, especially for infants and the restoration of the quality of groundwater is impossible by now. Therefore it is the only way to prevent from leaching of nitrate nitrogen to keep the quality of groundwater as vital water resource. The aims of the presentation of this review paper are to understand the relationship between agricultural practices and the concentration of nitrate nitrogen in groundwater and to suggest further informations for the rational management methods to reduce the leaching of nitrate nitrogen in soil.

1993년 지하수법 제정 이후 정책은 지하수 보전관리를 우선하고 보조수원으로 제한적으로 활용하는데 초점을 두어왔으나, 최근 인구 증가, 물 수요 증가, 균등 분배 및 기후 변화 등으로 지하수댐, 강변여과 등의 개발 정책을 중요시 하게 되었다. 인구의 증가, 물 환경의 변화 및 위해성 증가 등은 물 산업이 급격히 증가하는 요인으로 작용하여 왔으며 물 산업의 투자 규모는 지속 증가할 것으로 전망되고 있다. 그 동안 국내 지하수 시장은 일반 개인 관정 개발과 먹는샘물이 주도해 왔으나, 최근에는 지질학 기원의 차별화된 지하수 특성을 활용한 신규 사업 영역(건강, 의학 등)으로 확대되고 있다. 향후 지하수 분야가 물 산업 클러스터 내의 핵심으로 자리 잡고 정보통신기술 및 의학 등과 연계한 연구 및 기술 개발을 적극 추진하여 공공 지하수 개발, 지하수 활용의 다변화 등이 적극 추진되어야 할 것이다.

지하수 오염취약성이란 매질 자체의 고유 오염취약성과 오염 물질의 특성 또는 특정 인간 활동 등에 따른 특정 오염취약성으로 분류되며, 세계적으로 각국의 대수층 수리적 특성 및 사회환경 여건에 따라 오염취약성 평가 기법들이 개발되어 왔다. 국내에서도 지수 방법의 하나로서 지질구조선 등을 고려한 변형 DRASTIC 방법을 개발하였으나, 고유 및 특정 오염취약성에 대한 명확한 이해 및 지하수 환경 여건 등을 고려하여 국내 여건에 맞는 오염취약성 평가 기법을 개발해야 한다. 특히, 지하수법 제정 이후 지하수 기초조사, 각종 연구 프로젝트 등을 통하여 생성된 대용량의 수질자료, 수문특성 자료, 오염원자료, GIS data 등을 종합적으로 활용하여 다양한 기법을 접목, 검증해 본다면 현실성 있는 오염취약성 평가 기법이 가능할 것이다.

The use of colloidal gas aphron (CGA), as an external oxygen carrier, provides a promising alternative to promote aerobic bioremediation of BTEX in the subsurface environment. CGA is a stable bubble supported by three surfactant layers and can supply oxygen below the soil surface uniformly due to its plug-flow characteristic. Since CGA has a hydrophobic layer that can act as a partitioning medium for hydrophobic contaminants it is known to facilitate desorption of soil-sorbed contaminants. In addition, bioaugmentation and biostimulation are possibly achieved by using CGA when generated from a solution containing BTEX-degrading microorganisms and appropriate nutrients. In this study, we presented the physico-chemical characteristics of CGA generated from a solution composed of microorganisms and nutrients. The applicability of CGA as an in situ aerobic bioremediation technology of BTEX will be further evaluated.

Germany as a densely populated and heavily industrialised country has a long and broad experience in handling contaminated sites. With this presentation we want to describe some main aspects of the soil protection policies and the remediation of contaminated sites in Germany. Due to the history of working on contaminated sites in Germany the Federal Soil Protection Act came into force in 1998. A lot of programmes and network in Germany and in Europe, funded by the State or the European Union, helped developing new measures and techniques for remediation and also for implementing regulations for the involved authorities. Questions like 'who is responsible？' and 'who has to pay for measurements and the remediation？' became more and more important. In the near future there will be an official European Soil Protection Policy (is expected in June 2004). Besides the contaminated sites also other soil protection policies as 'Reducing the land consumption' are pursued and an indicator is developed.and an indicator is developed.

This study has focused on investigation on As and heavy metal contamination derived from metalliferous mining activities in the Choongbuk Province in Korea. Soil, mine effluent, surface water and ground water samples were taken in and around 27 abandoned metal mines, and analyzed for As, Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn using AAS and anions in water samples using IC. In general, the heavy metal concentrations in soils decreased with Increasing distance from the each mine audit. Tailings and mine waste soils from several mines contained over the guideline of Soil Conservation Act in Korea. Soil samples from the Seobo, Honga, Daehwa, Jeungjadong, Youngbo and Munbaek mines contained over the action levels of the metals due to intensive mining activities. Therefore, a proper remediation work needs to control the metal dispersion around the mines.

Although a number of chemical accidents have been occurred in South Korea, the effective prevention act for soil contamination has not been established so far. To effectively protect soil contamination from chemical accidents, decision support laws and regulations are absolutely essential. Regarding this situation, this study was aimed at diagnosing problems in current chemical safety management and prevention and response system against chemical accidents through analyzing the domestic and foreign causes of chemical accidents and the accident response procedures and finally suggesting policy measures for solving those problems. In order to clarify management of soil contamination by chemical accident, this study suggests the establishment of chemical accident preparedness, response, and making of local chemical management law and policy. This law needs to be supported by a clear management framework to guide government officials and all other stakeholders in the management of soil contamination by chemical accident.

The stone-dust is an unavoidable by-product of aggregate production, which is produced about 0.8~1.0 million $m^3$ annually. The stone-dust is currently regarded as a hazard material on environment because it is classified as an industrial waste in the Waste Management Law of Korea. At present, the stone-dust is considered as a environmentally hazardous material, and is classified as an industrial waste according to the Waste Management Law of Korea. In this study, we assessed the heavy-metal contamination of the stone-dust on surrounding environments by various leaching tests. Leaching experiments (such as Korea Standard Leaching Procedure (KSLP), Soil Environment Preservation Act of Korea (SEPAK), Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP), and Synthetic Precipitation Leaching Procedure (SPLP)) show that very low heavy metals (As, Cd, Cu, Pb, Zn, Hg) and CN are leached out, or much less than each regulatory thresholds. The resuts of the leaching test with time in acidic solution (initial pH 5 and 3) indicate that pH-buffering minerals are present in the stone-dust. These results suggest that the stone-dust can not potentially affect adverse impact on surrounding environments such as surface water, groundwater and soil etc..

환경오염저감 및 제어기술은 환경/방재 기술분야로 포스트 반도체 주력산업의 고도화분야에 해당되며, 그 중 오염토양 및 지하수 복원기술은 앞으로 많은 수요가 예상되는 핵심기술이라 할 것이다. 국내의 경우 폐금속광산이 다수 존재하며 이로 인한 중금속 및 비소오염문제가 심각해지고 있는 시점에서 이를 복원하기 위한 최신기술의 동향을 알아보는 것이 필요할 것이다. 현재 이 분야의 선진국인 미국 및 유럽각국에서의 기술개발은 2차적인 오염을 유발하지 않을 청정기술의 개발과 개발기술의 현장적용에 초점이 맞추어 지고 있는 추세이다. 여기에 최근에 개발되어진 신기술중에 이러한 장점으로 인해 주목받고 있는 기술인 전기동력학 기술, 투수성 반응벽체기술, 고형화/안정화기술, 박테리아를 이용한 생체흡착기술, 박테리아를 이용한 용출기술, 식물정화기술을 소개하고자 한다.
