Problems of secondary pollution and hazardous pollutants have rapidly come to the front in our society during the past few years. More attention should be paid to monitoring and assessment in order to identify the nature of complicated problems, but our air-quality policy is hurriedly seeking for management strategies. A typical example is air quality management in the industrial estates such as those located in Yochon and Ulsan. Yochon Industrial Estate was designated as a special air-quality management area of volatile organic compounds(VOCs) in 1996. And VOCs in the air of Ulsan Industrial Estate has been specially controlled since 1997. In this paper, however, it is suggested that hazardous air pollutants(HAPs) rather than VOCs should have been managed in the industrial estates. History of studies on organic compounds in the air of the industrial estates is reviewed. A stepwise approach for air quality management in the industrial estates is recommended.

Natural organic matter (NOM) is among the most common pollutant in underground and surface waters. It comprises of humic substances which contains anionic macromolecules such as aliphatic and aromatic compounds of a wide range of molecular weights along with carboxylic, phenolic functional groups. Although the concentration of NOM in potable water usually lies in the range of 1-10 ppm. Conventional treatment technologies are facing challenge in removing NOM effectively. The main issues are concentrated to low efficiency, membrane fouling, and harmful by-product formation. Ion-exchangers can be considered as an efficient and economic pretreatment technology for the removal of NOM. It not only consumes less time for pretreatment but also resist formation of trihalomethanes (THMs), an unwanted harmful by-product. This article provides a comprehensive review of ion exchange processes for the removal of NOM.

In this study, $TiO_2$-Activated carbon (AC) complex fibers were prepared by electrospinning for the synergetic effect of adsorption and degradation of organic pollutant. The average diameter of these fibers increased with increasing the amount of AC added, except for 1AC-TOF (AC$/TiO_2$ =1/40 mass ratio). After calcinations at $500^{\circ}C$, long as-spun fibers were broken and their average diameter was slightly decreased. The resultant fibers after calcination had rough surface and sphere shapes like a peanut. From XRD results, it was confirmed that as-spun fibers were changed to anatase $Ti_O2$ fiber after calcinations at $500^{\circ}C$. The prepared $TiO_2$-AC complex fibers could remove procian blue dyes by solar light irradiation with high removal property of 94~99%. The PB dye was rapidly removed by adsorption during the initial 5 minutes. But after 5 minutes, dye removal was occurred by photodegradation. In this study, the most efficient AC/$TiO_2$ ratio of $TiO_2$-AC complex fibers was 5/40, showing the synergetic effect of adsorption and photodegradation. It is expected that the $TiO_2$-AC complex fibers can be used to remove of organic pollutants in water system.

Microbiological treatment, chlorination, and ozonation are usually used for water treatment. However, there is weakness that these methods can't decompose and eliminate recalcitrant organic pollutants perfectly. It is possible to eliminate recalcitrant organic pollutants when photocatalysis of $TiO_2$ is used. In this study, the removal efficiencies of organic pollutants by using photocatalyst of $TiO_2$ in the slightly polluted golf club water hazard and a river were investigated. The amount of $TiO_2$ was divided into three categories of 1 g/L, 2 g/L and 4 g/L in order to investigate the adequate amount of $TiO_2$ and the removal efficiency. UV light was used as a light source for the reaction of photocatalyst. As a conclusion in this study, the efficiency of turbidity removal was increased in proportion to the amount of $TiO_2$ until 4 hours. After then the turbidity was gradually decreased. Finally, the optimum concentration of $TiO_2$ was 4 g/L. The efficiency of COD removal was increased in proportion to the amount of $TiO_2$ regardless of time.

본 연구에서는 하수슬러지, 돈분뇨, 음식물쓰레기 탈리액을 단독 또는 혼합 주입한 회분식 혐기성 소화를 수행하여 바이오가스 생산 및 유기물 저감 효율 비교 평가를 통해 병합소화의 타당성을 검토하였다. 타당성 검토 대상은 M시에서 발생하는 하수슬러지 178 톤/일, 돈분뇨 해양 투기량 및 축산폐수처리장 유입량 150 톤/일, 음식물쓰레기 탈리액 소각량 8톤/일이다. 유기성 폐기물 별 혐기성 소화 특성을 회분식 실험을 통해 고찰한 결과, 검토된 보조기질(돈분뇨, 음식물쓰레기 탈리액)이 메탄수율, 메탄 생산성, 유기물 제거 효율 측면에서 하수슬러지에 비해 우수한 성능을 나타내었다. 하수슬러지, 돈분뇨, 음식물쓰레기 탈리액의 병합 소화를 수행한 결과, 대상 유기성 폐기물 전량을 하수처리장 소화조로 투입하는 경우, 하수슬러지 단독 소화 대비, 5.6 배$(530\;m^{3}\;CH_{4}/d\;{\rightarrow}\;2,968\;m^{3}\;CH_{4}/d)$ 높은 메탄생산 잠재량을 보일 것으로 나타났다. 다만 소화조 유출수가 기존에 비해 1.88 배 증가하고, 유출수 내 오염물질 부하(COD, T-N, T-P)가 3.79-4.92배 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 병합소화는 하수처리장 에너지 자립화에 큰 기여를 할 수 있으나, 적용 시 하수처리장으로의 반송 등 소화조 유출수 처리 방안의 확보 방안이 함께 마련되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.

The distribution of the amount of minute dust emission in Gwangju is shown as Road transportation(76.7%) > Non-road transportation(16.3%) > Non industrial combustion(6.1%) > Combustion in manufacturing industry(0.7%) > Waste disposal(0.2%) > Production process(0.1%). And the distribution of the amount of minute dust emission from each county is the following ; Buk District(32.8%) > Gwangsan District(26.0%) > Seo District(19.5%) > Nam District(13.2%) > Dong District(8.5%). 10. According to the major source of emission of each items, that of oxides of sulfur is Non industrial combustion, heating of residence, business and agriculture and stockbreeding. And that of NOx, carbon monoxide, minute dust is Road transportation, emission of cars and two-wheeled vehicles. Also, that of VOC is Solvent utilization emission facilities due to Solvent utilization. 11. The concentration of sulfurous acid gas has been 0.004ppm since 2001 and there has not been no concentration change year by year. It is considered that the use of sulfurous acid gas is now reaching to the stabilization stage. This is found by the facts that the use of fuel is steadily changing from solid or liquid fuel to low sulfur liquid fuel containing very little amount of sulfur element or gas, so that nearly no change in concentration has been shown regularly. 12. Concerning changes of the concentration of throughout time, the concentration of NO has been shown relatively higher than that of $NO_2$ between 6AM~1PM and the concentration of $NO_2$ higher during the other time. The concentration of NOx(NO, $NO_2$) has been relatively high during weekday evenings. This result shows that there is correlation between the concentration of NOx and car traffics as we can see the Road transportation which accounts for 59.1% among the amount of NOx emission. 13. 49.1~61.2% of PM-10 shows PM-2.5 concerning the relationship between PM-10 and PM-2.5 and PM-2.5 among dust accounts for 45.4%~44.5% of PM-10 during March and April which is the lowest rates. This proves that particles of yellow sand that are bigger than the size $2.5\;{\mu}m$ are sent more than those that are smaller from China. This result shows that particles smaller than $2.5\;{\mu}m$ among dust exist much during July~August and December~January and 76.7% of minute dust is proved to be road transportation in Gwangju.

The purpose of this study was to understand distribution characteristics of organic matters through concentration of $BOD_5$, $COD_{Mn}$ and TOC in 31 streams in Han River region, and to establish the relationship among organic matter concentration, and discharge load and flow rate. Concentration of $BOD_5$ and TOC in 22 streams were above IV grade except 9, and the average 80.9 % of total organic matter (by TOC) accounted for dissolved organic type. Correlation among organic matter parameters were higher ($r^2$ > 0.78) and the relationship between TOC and $COD_{Mn}$ concentration was higher than $BOD_5$. Ratio of biodegradable organic matter/total organic matter in the 31 streams was estimated at 41.4 % with $BOD_5$ oxidation rate, and 78.0 % with $BOD_5/COD_{Mn}$ concentration ratio. Ratio of $NBOD/BOD_5$ concentration in four sites with $BOD_5/COD_{Mn}$ concentration ratio exceeding 1 ranged from 54.5 % ~ 79.3 %. Among 979 flow rate data measured at 31 streams, 87 % of measured data was below 0.1 cms and increased water pollution under low flow conditions. Correlation between $BOD_5$ concentration and $BOD_5$ discharge load in the watershed was low, and it was revealed that several streams have more $BOD_5$ delivery load than $BOD_5$ discharge load. Results suggest that many biodegradable forms of organic matter are being introduced into the stream from pollutant sources in the watershed.

지렁이는 토양의 물리화학성 변화에 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 연구는 밭토양과 유기성폐기물에서 지렁이의 분변토 발생량 및 오염물질(중금속, PAHs)의 변화 특성을 밝히고자 하였다. 지렁이 종류에 따라 분변토 발생량을 비교하면, 밭토양에서는 붉은줄지렁이 생체무게 1 g에 평균 1.41 g의 분변토를 만든 반면에 밭지렁이는 1 g에 평균 0.40 g의 분변토를 만들었고, 유기성폐기물에서는 붉은줄지렁이 생체무게 1 g에 주정슬러지 분변토 0.78 g, 과즙슬러지 분변토 0.83 g를 각각 만든 반면에 밭지렁이는 모두 죽어서 분변토를 얻지 못했다. 중금속이 분변토 발생량에 미치는 영향을 조사한 결과, 붉은지렁이의 분변토량은 대조구와 비교해서 아연이 0.1~0.8배, 구리가 0.2~0.5배, 카드뮴이 0.1~0.7배 감소했다. 밭지렁이의 분변토량은 아연이 0.3~1.1배, 구리가 0.2~0.3배, 카드뮴이 0.1~2.1배 감소했다. 지렁이 섭식 전후의 중금속과 PAHs의 함량 변화을 분석한 결과, 유기성폐기물(주정슬러지, 과즙슬러지)에 대한 붉은줄지렁이 분변토의 중금속(Zn, Cu, Cd) 함량은 지렁이가 섭식전 슬러지보다 0.7~53.3%까지 증가했다. PAHs의 함량은 주정슬러지에서 $1,465{\mu}g\;kg^{-1}$에서 $731{\mu}g\;kg^{-1}$로 50.1%가 감소했다. 과즙슬러지도 $2,249{\mu}g\;kg^{-1}$에서 $1,423{\mu}g\;kg^{-1}$으로 36.6%가 감소했다. 따라서 이러한 결과들은 향후 유기성폐기물 처리 및 오염토양 복원에 있어서 지렁이 종류 선택 및 처리방법에 대한 연구에 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.
