  • 본 연구는 지하수 내 질산염 오염관리를 위한 유럽연합(EU)의 정책 동향을 분석하고, 한국에서의 지속가능한 지하수 관리정책에의 시사점을 도출하고자 수행되었다. EU의 지하수 질산염 관리 정책은 1991년 질산염 지침 도입으로 구체화되었다. 이 지침에서는 농업활동에서 발생하는 질산염 오염 감소를 목표로 하여 회원국들에게 지속가능한 농법 적용, 질산염 농도 모니터링, 그리고 기준치 초과 지역에 대한 질산염 취약 지역 지정을 요구하였다. 2000년 수질 프레임워크 지침(WFD)은 이를 확장, 모든 수역의 좋은 상태 달성 목표를 설정했으며, 2006년 지하수 지침(GWD)은 질산염 지침을 보완하여 지하수 보호를 위한 포괄적 접근 제공과 함께 오염물질 문턱값(threshold) 설정 등을 명시하였다. 2019년에는 그린딜(Green Deal) 발표와 함께 환경 및 기후변화 대응 목표에 부합하기 위해 질산염과 관련한 조치는 더욱 강화되었다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 변천사를 살펴봄으로써 질산염 오염 감소를 위한 주요 전략과 동향을 확인하고 현재 당면한 문제를 해결하기 위해 EU는 어떠한 노력을 기울이고 있는지 파악하고자 하였다. 연구는 EU의 동향을 기반으로 국내의 질산염 오염 문제의 현황과 이를 해결하기 위한 통합 관리 방식, 규제 체계, 농업 교육 프로그램 등 주요 시사점을 도출하고자 하였다. 본 연구 결과는 예방적 조치의 강화와 이해관계자 간 협력 증진이 한국 지하수의 질산염 오염문제를 해결하고 지하수 품질을 향상시키는 단서가 될 수 있음을 제시한다.

  • The Shiheung mine was closed in 1972 and has been abandoned since then. Although some restoration work has been done, there still remain mine failings in and around the mine, posing a potential environmental hazard. Mine tailings and the porewater extracted from the tailing were investigated to see any evidence of elemental release and migration to adjacent groundwater and soil in the field. The pHs of the tailing range from 6.24 to 7.23. Calcite in the studied area seems to influence on such neutral pH range. Depth profile of mine tailing demonstrate elements have been leached and removed as a consequence of weathering during disposal. This is also supported by the findings from porewater analysis, corresponding the trends in the mine tailings. The concentrations of Cu, Cd, Pb, Zn in the tailing porewater exceed the standard value of EPA for drinking water and this implies groundwater can be contaminated through infiltration of the porewaters, which ultimately will be discharged as leachate from the mine tailing. Groundwater samples collected near the mine area do not show high metal concentrations, except for Fe, which were detected over drinking water standard.

  • The aim of this study was to evaluate the occurrence of vanadium in Jeju Island groundwater, focusing on the spatio-temporal patterns and geochemical controlling factors of vanadium. For this, we collected two sets of groundwater data: 1) concentrations of major constituents of 2,595 groundwater samples between 2008 and 2014 and 2) 258 groundwater samples between December 2006 and June 2008. The concentrations of groundwater vanadium were in the range of $0.2{\sim}71.0{\mu}g/L$ (average, $12.0{\mu}g/L$) and showed local enrichments without temporal/seasonal variation. This indicated that vanadium distribution was controlled by 1) the geochemical/mineralogical composition and dissolution processes of original materials (i.e., volcanic rock) and 2) the flow and chemical properties of groundwater. Vanadium concentration was significantly positively correlated with that of major ions ($Cl^-$, $Na^+$, and $K^+$) and trace metals (As, Cr, and Al), and with pH, but was negatively correlated with $NO_3-N$ concentration. The high concentrations of vanadium (>$15{\mu}g/L$) occurred in typically alkaline groundwater with high pH (${\geq}8.0$), indicating that a higher degree of water-rock interaction resulted in vanadium enrichment. Thus, higher concentrations of vanadium occurred in groundwater of $Na-Ca-HCO_3$, $Na-Mg-HCO_3$ and $Na-HCO_3$ types and were remarkably lower in groundwater of $Na-Ca-NO_3$(Cl) type that represented the influences from anthropogenic pollution.

  • We observed the concentrations of Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC) and Colored Dissolved Organic Matter (CDOM) in coastal seawater and groundwater around a volcanic island, Jeju, Korea. The sampling of surface seawater and coastal groundwater was conducted in Woljeongri, Pyoseon, and Kwakgi beaches, in three sampling campaigns (June, July, and October 2016). The concentrations of DOC in groundwater were relatively higher in June and October than in July. Salinity and DOC concentrations in the coastal groundwater of Woljeongri and Pyoseon beaches did not show a marked relationship, whereas those in Kwakgi beach showed a good positive correlation (July: $R^2=0.64$, P < 0.01; October: $R^2=0.95$, P < 0.01). In addition, the concentrations of CDOM (C and M peaks) in the groundwater of Woljeongri and Pyoseon beaches, where saline groundwater discharge dominates, were relatively higher than those of Kwakgi beach, where fresh groundwater discharge dominates. The relatively higher DOC concentrations in the coastal groundwater of Woljeongri and Pyoseon, with higher CDOM concentrations, seem to be mainly from anthropogenic sources such as local pollution sources (i.e., aquaculture wastewater or domestic sewage). In order to understand the behavior of DOC in the coastal groundwater of a volcanic island, extensive studies are necessary in the future over a larger-area and greater time-scales using various isotopic tracers.

  • This study was performed to provide the basic information on characteristics of groundwater pollution in Gyeongsan city. Forty two groundwater samples were collected, and pH, DO, COD, $NH_3-N,\;NO_3^--N$, T-N, $PO_4^{3-}-P$, Cl, Ca, Mg, hardness, evaporate residues and others were investigated. And, ANOVA analyses were carried out to reveal the differences in water pollution indicator values of by industry, commerce/residence and agriculture areas. The results were as follows. 1. The mean values of pH, DO, COD, $NH_3-N,\;NO_3^--N$, T-N, $PO_4^{3-}-P$, Cl, evaporate residues, Ca and hardness were 6.9, $7.9mg/\ell,\;0.4mg/\ell,\;2.44mg/\ell,\;2.73mg/\ell,\;6.06mg/\ell,\;0.82mg/\ell,\;32.72mg/\ell,\;381.67mg/\ell,\;41.53mg/\ell,\;177.17mg/\ell$, respectively. 2. As groundwater became deeper, the values of Cl, Ca, Mg, Na, hardness and evaporate residues remarkably increased, but those of COD, $NH_3^--N,\;NO_3^--N,\;NO_2^-N$, T-N decreased. 3. The values of COD, Cl, Ca, Mg, Na, hardness and evaporate residues were very high in industrial area, and those of $NH_3-N,\;NO_2^--N$, T-N were very high in commercial/residential area, and those of $NO_3^--N$ were a little high in agricultural area. 4. The correlations between depth and each value of Mg, Na, Fe, hardness and evaporate residues were highly positive, and those between DO and each value of Mg, Cu, Fe, hardness and evaporate residues were highly negative. 5. According to ANOVA analyses, the differences in three area groups (industry, commerce/residence and agriculture) on the values of $NH_3-N$, T-N, evaporate residues, hardness, Ca, Mg, K and Fe were significant at 1% level.

  • Risk based pollution level of Pb and Cd in metal contaminated soils depending on physicochemical properties of soil in a target site was assessed using biotic ligand model. Heavy metal activity in soil solution defined as exposure activity (EA) was assumed to be toxic to Vibrio fischeri and soil organisms. Predicted effective activity (PEA) determined by biotic ligand model was compared to EA value to calculate risk quotient. Field contaminated soils (n = 10) were collected from a formes area and their risk based pollution levels were assessed in the present study using the calculated risk quotient. Concentrations of Pb determined by aqua regia were 295, 258, and 268 mg/kg in B, H and J points and concentrations of Cd were 4.73 and 6.36 mg/kg in G and I points, respectively. These points exceeded the current soil conservation standards. However, risk based pollution levels of the ten points were not able to be calculated because concentrations of Pb and Cd in soil solution were smaller than detection limits or one (i.e., non toxic). It was because heavy metal activity in soil solution was dominant toxicological form to organisms, not a total heavy metal concentration in soil. In addition, heavy metal toxicity was decreased by competition effect of major cations and formation of complex with dissolved organic carbon in soil solution. Therefore, it is essential to consider site-specific factors affecting bioavailability and toxicity for estimating reliable risk of Pb and Cd.

  • Beryllium (Be), cobalt (Co), thallium (Tl) and vanadium (V) are candidates of 21 priority soil pollutants in Korea. The distribution of their concentration in soils from three contamination sources including industrial, roadside and mining areas was investigated. Concentrations of the metals were evaluated quantitatively using pollution indices and the fractionation of metals was conducted using modified SM&T (Standards Measurements and Testing programme) sequential extraction. Concentrations of the metals for all samples from industrial and roadside soils were within the range of natural background levels, while some of Be in soils from abandoned mines exceeded that the range. Enrichment Factor (EF) and Nemerow Integrated Pollution Index (NIPI) for Be, Co, Tl and V showed that there are effects or possibilities of anthropogenic activities. Pollution Load Index (PLI) analyses indicated all investigated sites needed further monitoring. The results of sequential extractions indicated mobile fractions (F1+F2) of Be, Tl and V were below 30% except some of Co in soil, which implies their low mobility to neighboring environment media. Variable tools like sequential extraction, comparison with background/actual concentration and pollution indices, as well as aqua regia extraction should be considered when evaluating Be, Co, Tl, V in soil.

  • 도시지역에서 지하수오염은 도시화에 따른 토지용도에 크게 영향을 받는다. 본 연구는 철강, 기계 및 신발공장들이 밀집되어 있는 부산 사상공단지역의 지하수 수질과 오염 특성을 규명하는데 있다. 부산시는 우리나라의 대도시 중에서 가장 높은 지하수 이용를을 보이고 있다. $K^+,\;Na^+,\;Ca^{2+},\;Mg^{2+},\;Cl^-,\;SO_4^{2-},\;HCO_3^-$, 전기전도도(EC), 총용존물질(TDS) 그리고 염분농도는 낙동강에 가까운 지역에서 높게 나타나고 있다. 이러한 사실은 퇴적 당시 해안퇴적층에 들어온 염분의 영향이 아직까지 이 지역 지하수 수질에 미치고 있음을 지시한다. 또한 대표적인 지하수 수질형인 Ca-Cl형은 본 연구지역의 지하수가 인위적인 오염뿐만 아니라 퇴적물 속에 함유되어 있는 염분의 영향을 받고 있음을 지시한다. $SiO_2$ 이온은 물-규산염광물 작용과 콘크리트의 분해 산물로 해석된다. TCE는 총 18개소 중 12개소에서 검출되었으며, PCE는 4개소 그리고 TCA는 3개소에서 검출되었다. 요인분석에 의하면, 요인 1의 설명율은 49.8%, 요인2는 19.8% 그리고 요인 3은 11.0%이다. 요인 1에 높은 정의 적재율을 보이는 성분은 pH, TDS, 염분농도, $Ca^{2+},\;K^+,\;Mg^{2+},\;Na^+,\;Al^{3+},\;As^{3+},\;Cl^-,\;Fe^{2+}$으로서 이들은 공단의 특성과 염분의 영향을 동시에 대표하는 것으로 판단된다. 군집분석과 성분의 공간적 분포에 의하면, 낙동강변과 같이 해안퇴적층이 분포하여 염수의 영향을 받는 지역에서는 $Na^+,\;Ca^{2+},\;Cl^-,\;SO_4^{2-}\;K^+,\;Mg^{2+}$의 농도가 높게 나타남을 알 수 있다. 그리고 학장천의 하류에서는 염수의 영향과 인위적인 오염의 영향을 동시에 받고 있으며, 그 외 지역에서는 인위적인 오염의 영향이 우세함을 알 수 있다.
