The purpose of this study is to investigate the characteristics of water quality in Jeju harbor and to estimate pollutant loadings discharged into Jeju Harbor. To know characteristics of water quality in Jeju harbor, and pollutant loadings of Sanzi river, we have investigated from August, 2000 to May, 2001. The results showed that the concentrations of COD, DIN and DIP were in the range of 1.00∼4.85 mg/L (mean 2.15 mg/L), 2.14∼74.0 $\mu\textrm{g}$-at/L(mean 12.20 $\mu\textrm{g}$-at/L) and 0.52∼4.00 $\mu\textrm{g}$-at/L(mean 1.18 $\mu\textrm{g}$-at/L), respectively. These values were under III class of seawater quality criteria. The ratio of nitrogen to phosphorus was lower than 16 except for Station 1 in Jeju harbor. Therefore, nitrogen was playing an important role in phytoplankton growth as limiting factor in Jeju harbor. The mean values of eutrophication index were exceeding 1, which was the eutrophication criteria. The results of estimating pollutant loadings at Sanzi river are 0.30 ton/day for COD, 300 kg/day for DIN and 18.0 kg/day for DIP, respectively.

This research was conducted to investigate pollutant load unit factor from aquacultural farms. Pollutant load unit factors were investigated on the 13 kinds of fish type, i.e., Trout, Leather Carp, Eel, Carp, Cartfish, Freshwater Eel, Crucian Carp, Colored Carp, Sturgeon, Marsh Snail, Sweetfish, Pond Snail, Eriocheir Sinensis. Water qualities in aquacultural farms were investigated wide range of values by fish type and pollutant items. High BOD and COD values were observed at the Leather Carp (Ponded water system), Cartfish (Ponded water system) and Freshwater Eel (Recirculating System). TOC and DOC values were relatively high at the Freshwater Eel (Recirculating System) and Eriocheir Sinensis (Extensive). Eel (Ponded water system) and Freshwater Eel (Recirculating System) produced high concentrated nutrient pollutants, i.e., T-N, T-P. Pollutant load unit factors are dependent on fish type, aquacultural type, water quality items, etc. If some fishes have similar basic unit values, those could be applied for TMDLs as a group of fish having same pollutant load unit. The water quality concentrations of post treatment facilities' (mainly reservoir tank) effluent were higher than those of fish raising bath because of extracting pollutant from sediment in the reservoir tank. Therefore, it needs to the management and regulations about post treatment facilities.

Sulfur dioxide (SO$_2$), ozone, total suspended particulates (TSP) and PM$_{2.5}$ were measured at Deokjeok Island in the Yellow Sea during April 1999 to June 2000. Although the emission amount of air pollutants is quite low in this small island of 36 km$^2$ with 1.4 thousand inhabitants, there are pollutant sources such as an oil -firing power plant and a wharf for ferryboat. The island is also influenced from the emissions from the greater Seoul area in the east and from China in the west. In order to characterize the pollutant variations due to interactions between transport and local emissions. the correlation between variations of SO$_2$ and ozone was investigated. Mass and ion concentrations of TSP and PM$_{2.5}$ were examined on selected episode days of positive and negative correlations between the two gaseous species in spring and winter. The effects of transport were pronounced on the days of positive correlation in spring with higher concentrations of ozone and PM$_{2.5}$. TSP concentrations were also high on these days because of high wind speeds. On the days of negative correlation in spring, frequent fog associated with low wind speeds facilitated SO$_2$ oxidation and increased sulfate accompanied with decrease in nitrate in PM$_{2.5}$ and chloride in TSP. This latter phenomena was noticeable since it showed that chemical composition of fine particles could be significantly altered not only during the transport but also by local environment.ronment.

Recent evidence has demonstrated that the pollutant recirculation can play an important role in leading to high ozone $(O_3)$ concentrations. In this study, the MM5-CAMx air quality modeling system was applied to simulate the pollutant recirculation and identify the transport of pollution during the high $O_3$ event (the maximum $O_3$ of 195 ppb) observed in the Greater Seoul Area (GSA) on $1{\sim}4$ June in 2004. The results showed a weak northeasterly synoptic wind during the night and early morning moved the air parcels containing the locally emitted urban pollution to the coast, which contributed to enhance $O_3$ formation in the southwest part of the GSA. As the sea breeze developed and started to penetrate inland in the late afternoon, the rapid build-up of $O_3$ concentration was found in the southwest coastal area due to the recirculation of the polluted air loaded with high level $O_3$. The simulated backward trajectories and observations at coastal sites confirmed the recirculation of pollutant with the late sea breeze is the dominant factor affecting the occurrence of high $O_3$ concentrations in the southwestern GSA.

본 연구는 강우강도에 따른 계분의 농지 환원시 비점유출로 인하여 수계에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 실험실 규모의 반응조를 제작하여 강우강도에 따른 표면유출수와 토양침투수에 대해 조사하였다. 표면유출수의 경우 10mm/hr 이하의 강우에서는 일어나지 않았으며, 20mm/hr에서 일부 유출되는 경향을 보였다. 32.4mm/hr시 가장 높은 표면유출을 보였으며 이때, $BOD_5$는 686mg/L, $COD_{Mn}$은 630mg/L의 농도를 나타내었다. 토양침투수의 경우도 32.4mm/hr의 강우시 많은 양의 계분퇴비가 유출되었고, 43.2mm/hr의 강우시에는 유출되는 양이 큰 폭으로 줄어들었다가 강우량이 증가할수록 유출되는 양이 다시 많아졌다. 비점유출량을 산정한 결과 $BOD_5$는 32.4mm/hr의 강우시 가장 높게 나타났고, T-N은 67.1mm/hr의 강우시 가장 높게 나타났다.

Recent developments recommend the use of SSS to prevent combined sewer overflows and reduce excessive pollutant deposition in the receiving waters; however, other studies also suggest that SSS have minimal or no advantage over CSS in terms of reducing the pollutant loads being discharged in natural waterways. This study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of employing SSS in improving the water quality of the rivers in Okcheon-gun, South Korea. The former combined sewer outfalls (CSOs) were monitored to determine the presence of illicit connections or leaks in the newly-established SSS. Dry and wet-day monitoring was conducted alongside the collection of water samples on 14 points along the reach of the rivers and four former CSOs to determine water quality changes and patterns of pollutant loading. Among the 34 former CSOs in the study area, eight former CSOs exhibited dry-day discharges, implying the possibility of having illicit connections, leaks, or illegal wastewater discharge in the system. Moreover, relatively high biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) chemical oxygen demand (COD) concentrations, ranging from 4.8 mg/L to 24.9 mg/L and 6.4 mg/L to 10.1 mg/L, respectively were observed on three out of the four monitored CSOs. Fluctuations in the pollutant concentrations in the different monitored points along the river was also observed due to the presence of pipes discharging polluted water. Ultimately, further studies are necessary to identify the sources of dry-day discharges in the CSOs to successfully improve the water quality of the rivers in the area.

The work describes an assessment of the major air pollutants, $NO_2$, $SO_2$, CO, $O_3$, $NH_3$, coarse and fine particulate matter ($PM_{10}$, $PM_{2.5}$) in ambient air in and around a 3 million tonne Petroleum Refinery and the possible impacts on a pristine area marked by the presence of the world-famous Kajiranga National Park, a world heritage site and habitat for the most number of one-horned rhinos in the world. The Refinery is at an aerial distance of 20-25 km from the wildlife habitat. The assessment is based on regular monitoring at four stations around the Refinery and one station near the National Park. Heavy rains during June to August influence the pollutant concentrations while at other times of the year, large traffic volume adds to the pollutant concentrations that peak during November to March, the dry months of the year. Correlation analysis by scatter technique is utilised to obtain the enhancement ratios to predict the variations in the concentrations of the pollutants and their spatial distribution. Computation of air quality index (AQI) indicates that the coarse and the fine particulates in the ambient air could be a major hazard to wildlife in the area.

The impact of a considerable increase in traffic volume on the emission and concentrations of air pollutants was investigated at three beaches (Haeundae (HB), Gwanganri (GB), and Songjeong (SB)) in Busan during beach opening period (BOP) in 2011. During the BOP, passenger car was the major vehicle type, followed by taxi, and van. CO was the major contributor of total air pollutant emissions followed by NOx, VOC, and $PM_{10}$. For the temporal variation of the emission of air pollutants during the BOP, it was generally the highest in the afternoon followed by the evening and morning, except for SB. For the spatial variation of their emission, it was the highest at GB followed by SB and HB. The emissions of air pollutants during the BOP were generally higher than those during the Non-BOP, except for HB. In contrast, the significant impact of the traffic volume increase on the concentrations of air pollutants at monitoring sites near the three beaches during the BOP were not found compared to the Non-BOP due to the significant distances between monitoring sites of air pollutants and monitoring sites of traffic volume at the beaches.

대전의 관평천에 설치된 1.8 m 높이의 침강 실험장치를 이용하여 총 4회에 걸쳐 강우 유출수를 채취하여 오염물질제거 효율 및 특성을 측정하였다. 오염물질 농도는 초기 4시간 동안 급격하게 감소하였으며 약 24시간 후 일정한 수준을 나타내는 경향을 보였다. 침전 실험 장치 내에서는 높이 별 농도가 크게 다르지 않은 것으로 관찰되었으며 이는 침전장치 내에서 대부분의 고형물질은 서로 방해하지 않고 독립적으로 침전하기 때문인 것으로 분석된다. 강우 유출수를 대상으로 분석한 입도는 $10{\sim}100{\mu}m$의 범위로 나타났다. 강우 유출수내에서 TP의 경우 입자성 물질이 평균 52.4%, TN의 경우 23.5%의 비율로 나타났으며 TN의 경우 침강에 의해 효율적으로 제거되기 어렵다는 것을 확인하여 주고 있다. 본 연구의 결과는 초기 강우 유출수에 포함되어 있는 TSS와 TP와 같은 오염물질이 단순한 침강에 의해 효과적으로의 제거될 수 있다는 것을 나타내고 있으며 하천수질을 보호하는데 적극적으로 활용될 수 있음을 시사한다.

구미공단 대규모합성섬유제조업체들의 총괄 점오염원 및 개별 점오염원에 의한 각각의 트리메틸아민 관련 기여도 평가예측을 위하여 CALPUFF 모델링을 수행하였다. 또한 개별 점오염원의 총괄 점오염원에 대한 트리메틸 관련 상대적 기여도를 산출하였다. T사 배출설비 개선 후 총괄 점오염원의 트리메틸아민 배출에 의한 본 연구 CALPUFF 모델링 결과로서 2011년 겨울(1월), 봄(4월)에는 주로 구미 3공단에서, 여름(7월), 가을(10월)에는 주로 구미 1공단에서 트리메틸아민 농도의 최대값이 도출되었다. 한편 T사 배출설비 개선 후에는 구미 1공단의 경우에 트리메틸아민 예측 최대값 범위가 매우 개선되었음이 확인되었다. 반면에 구미3공단의 경우는 T사 배출설비 개선 후에 오히려 트리메틸아민 예측 최대값의 상한치가 더욱 커졌으나 그 상한치를 제외하였을 때는 T사 배출설비 개선 전의 트리메틸아민 측정치의 상한치와 비슷하였다. 이와 같이 T사 배출설비 개선이 공단별 트리메틸아민 농도에 미치는 영향이 구미 1공단에서는 컸으나 구미 3공단에서는 미미한 수준이었다. 한편 본 연구 CALPUFF 모델링 결과로서 트리메틸아민 농도 예측치는 트리메틸아민 농도의 측정치 범주와 거의 일치하므로 본 연구의 총괄 점오염원에 의한 트리메틸아민 기여도 평가에 대한 유효성을 보여주었다.
