  • 본 논문은 한국의 토양오염 현황과 관리정책을 현 시점에서 정리하고 좀 더 효율적인 정책을 추구하기 위한 여러 정책적인 제안점들을 살펴 보았다. 한국의 토양은 주로 매립지, 유류 및 유해물질저 장소, 휴폐광산, 군부대, 산업 시설 등에 의해 주로 오염되고 있다. 토양오염물질의 농도는 대체적으로 배경농도와 비슷하나, 일부 단위산업시설 주변이나 휴폐광산 등에서 오염도가 오염기준이상인 것으로 나타났다. 1995년에 제정된 토양환경보전법은 오염의 방지뿐만 아니라 오염된 환경의 개선에 대한 종합적인 법률적 토대를 제공하고 있다. 본 법에는 토양오염물질 및 기준의 설정, 토양오염 대책지역의 설정 및 관리, 토양오염측정망 운영, 토양오염유발시설의 설정 및 관리, 토양환경평가제도, 확대된 오염원인자 범위 등 다양한 정책들이 제시되어 있어 오염지역에 대한 조사와 복원을 활성화하고 토양오염관리를 강화할 수 있는 제도적 기반을 마련하였다. 현재의 보전정책을 좀 더 효율적으로 하기 위하여, 국가우선순위 복원목록 수립, 토지이용을 고려한 좀 더 자세한 환경기준설정, 위해성에 기반을 둔 복원기준 설정, 오염지역의 적극적인 탐색과 복원을 위한 재원 마련, 토양침식의 고려, 토양 및 지하수관리정책의 통합체계 구축 등 여러 정책들이 동시 또는 순차적으로 도입될 필요성이 있다.

  • Geotube is made of permeable but soil-tight geotextile, hydraulically filled with soil include dredged sand and mud, which has been successfully applied in hydraulic and coastal engineering projects. Ceotube method is getting popular and being used a lot in many countries of the world because of the simplicity of the placement and construction, cost effectiveness and minimum impact on the environment, and enable to store & isolate contaminated materials as obtained by harbor dredging. Laboratory tests and field construction were performed to determine the design methodology and construction procedures. From the results of laboratory and field construction, the retention ratio of solid particle is a minimum 86%. The minimum permeability and the tensile strength of geotextile are $\alpha$ x 10$^{-4}$ cm/sec and 20t/m, respectively Also, based on the environmental test results, it can be concluded that this method does meet the Korean EPA standards.

  • About 90% of groundwater wells in Jeju Island are reported to be under the threat of contamination by infiltration of the surface pollutants. Most of those wells have improperly grouted annulus which is an empty space between the well and the inner casing. As a remedy to this problem, some of the wells were re-grouted by filling the annulus with cement without lifting an inner casing. In order to evaluate whether this method is appropriate for the geological structure of Jeju Island, two wells (W1 and W2) were selected and this method was applied. The water holding capacity did not decrease while the nitrate levels decreased from 16.8 and 20.2 to 6.8 and 13.8 mg/L in W1 and W2, respectively. The higher nitrate level in W2 is deemed to be influenced by the livestock farms located in the upper area of the well. In addition, transmissivity of the vedose zone was higher in W2 than W1, potentially facilitating the transport of nitrate to the groundwater. The overall result of this study suggests re-grouting of wells for the purpose of protecting water quality of goundwater should take into account geological structure of vadose zone as well as appropriate source control of the contaminants.

  • 현재 우리나라는 수자원단위지도의 표준유역(850개) 및 KRF의 집수구역(7,807개) 등의 기준 도면이 수자원 정책 수립의 기본 도면으로 활용되고 있으나, 물관리 일원화 시점에 맞추어 지표수-지하수의 연계 관리 및 수량-수질 통합관리를 위해서는 보다 적절한 규모의 표준 도면 설정이 필요해 보인다. 지표수에 비하여 지하수는 느린 이동 속도를 보이고 3차원 흐름 특성을 갖고 있으므로 지표수-지하수 연계 평가를 위해서는 광역적 규모의 유역 보다는 준 유역 규모가 보다 효과적인데, 표준유역보다 평균 면적이 작은 KRF 집수구역은 1차 또는 2차 지류를 포함하는 준 유역 규모에 해당한다. 그러나, KRF는 지표수 수계를 기준으로 구역을 구분하였기 때문에 넓은 평지 또는 높은 산악지역에서는 지나치게 작거나 큰 면적을 갖고 있다. 따라서, 지표수-지하수 연계 통합 관리에 적합한 단위 유역은 기존 KRF 집수구역을 수정하여 설정하는 것이 필요하다. 이로부터 설정될 개소 당 약 5 ~ 15 ㎢ 면적의 단위 유역은 지류의 구성과 관정의 위치를 고려할 때 지방자치단체의 수자원 관리의 기본 단위가 될 수 있으며, 물수요-공급 평가, 수문 계측 시스템의 배치, 지하수 허가 총량 기준, 오염의 평가, 정책의 우선 순위 결정 등 실질적인 수자원 통합관리의 기본 수단으로 활용 가능할 것이다.

  • This study was performed to develop an information processing system for the sound conservation of soil and groundwater resources. The system contains numerical models and geographic information systems for underground flow and contamination. Multidimensional Finite Element Model for Subsurface Environment (MFEMSE) was invented to analyze underground flow and pollution problems of water and gas phases. Newly developed and conventional models (MODFLOW, MOC3D, MT3D, PMPATH, PEST, UCODE) were integrated with GIS (ArcView) for the construction of an integrated information management system of subsurface environment. This system was applied to the management of three mineral water companies located in clean high mountain basin. Desirable management criteria and operational strategies were suggested using this system. The system was constructed to be applied for the broad sense of decision supporting tools in related topics of this study, so that it can be used not only for the prevention regulations, but also for clean up projects.

  • 최근 개발된 자기치유 그라우팅(SSG, self-healing smart grouting)공법은 지반의 내구성 및 차수성의 향상, 용탈 및 환경오염 방지 등의 특성을 가지고 있다. 이 연구는 SSG공법의 공학적 특성을 규명한 것으로써 기존 약액주입(LW, SGR)공법과의 공학적 특성을 비교하기 위해 겔타임 측정, 일축압축강도 시험, 투수 시험, 어독성 시험, 내화학성 시험을 수행하였다. 연구결과, SSG공법은 장 단기 차수성능 유지, 강도 발현, 내구성 확보에 유리하고 용탈에 의한 지하수 및 지반의 오염 가능성이 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 이를 통해 SSG공법은 기존 약액주입공법의 문제점들을 최소화할 수 있는 대체 공법으로 현장에 적용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

  • Water has always played a significant role in the lives of people. In urbanised Rome, with its million people. sophisticated supply systems developed and then fled with the empire. only to be rediscovered later But it was the industrial Revolution commencing in the eighteenth century that ushered in major paradigm shifts In use and altitudes towards water. Rapid and concentrated urbanisation brought problems of expanded demands for drinking supplies, waste management and disease. The strategy of using water from local streams, springs and village wells collapsed under the onslaughts of rising urban demands and pollution due to poor waste disposal practices. Expanding travel (railways. and steamships) aided the spread of disease. In England. public health crises peaks, related to water-borne typhoid and the three major cholera outbreaks occurred in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century respectively. Technological, engineering and institutional responses were successful in solving the public health problem. it is generally accepted that the putting of water into pipe networks both for a clean drinking supply, as well as using it as a transport medium for removal of human and other wastes, played a significant role in towering death rates due to waterborne diseases such as cholera and typhoid towards the end of the nineteenth century. Today, similar principles apply. A recent World Bank report Indicates that there can be upto 76% reduction in illness when major water and sanitation improvements occur in developing countries. Water management, technology and thinking in Australia were relatively stable in the twentieth century up to the mid to late 1970s. Groundwater sources were investigated and developed for towns and agriculture. Dams were built, and pipe networks extended both for supply and waste water management. The management paradigms in Australia were essentially extensions of European strategies with the minor adaptions due to climate and hydrogeology. During the 1970s and 1980s in Australia, it was realised increasingly that a knowledge of groundwater and hydrogeological processes were critical to pollution prevention, the development of sound waste management and the problems of salinity. Many millions of dollars have been both saved and generated as a consequence. This is especially in relation to domestic waste management and the disposal of aluminium refinery waste in New South Wales. Major institutional changes in public sector water management are occurring in Australia. Upheveals and change have now reached ail states in Australia with various approaches being followed. Market thinking, corporatisation, privatisation, internationalisation, downsizing and environmental pressures are all playing their role in this paradigm shift. One casualty of this turmoil is the progressive erosion of the public sector skillbase and this may become a serious issue should a public health crisis occur such as a water borne disease. Such crises have arisen over recent times. A complete rethink of the urban water cycle is going on right now in Australia both at the State and Federal level. We are on the threshold of significant change in how we use and manage water, both as a supply and a waste transporter in Urban environments especially. Substantial replacement of the pipe system will be needed in 25 to 30 years time and this will cost billions of dollars. The competition for water between imgation needs and environmental requirements in Australia and overseas will continue to be an issue in rural areas. This will be especially heightened by the rising demand for irrigation produced food as the world's population grows. Rapid urbanisation and industrialisation in the emerging S.E Asian countries are currently producing considerable demands for water management skills and Infrastructure development. This trend e expected to grow. There are also severe water shortages in the Middle East to such an extent that wars may be fought over water issues. Environmental public health crises and shortages will help drive the trends.

  • Objectives: Acute exposure to high concentrations of chemicals can occur when a chemical accident takes place. As such exposure can cause ongoing environmental pollution, such as in the soil and groundwater, there is a need for a tool that can assess health effects in the long term. The purpose of this study was assessing the health risks of residents living near a chemical accident site due to long-term exposure while considering the temporal concentration changes of the toxic chemicals leaked during the accident until their extinction in the environment using a multimedia environmental dynamics model. Methods: A health risk assessment was conducted on three cases of formaldehyde chemical accidents. In this study, health risk assessment was performed using a multimedia environmental dynamics model that considers the behavior of the atmosphere, soil, and water. In addition, the extinction period of formaldehyde in the environment was regarded as extinction in the environment when the concentration in the air and soil fell below the background concentration prior to the accident. The subjects of health risk assessment were classified into four groups according to age: 0-9 years old, 10-18 years old, 19-64 years old, and over 65 years old. Carcinogenic risk assessment by respiratory exposure and non-carcinogenic risk assessment by soil intake were conducted as well. Results: In the assessment of carcinogenic risk due to respiratory exposure, the excess carcinogenic risk did not exceed 1.0×10-6 in all three chemical accidents, so there was no health effect due to the formaldehyde chemical accident. As a result of the evaluation of non-carcinogenic risk due to soil intake, none of the three chemical accidents had a risk index of 1, so there was no health effect. For all three chemical accidents, the excess cancer risk and hazard index were the highest in the age group 0-9. Next, 10-18 years old, 65 years old or older, and 19-64 years old showed the highest risk. Conclusion: This study considers environmental changes after a chemical accident occurs and until the substance disappears from the environment. It also conducts a health risk assessment by reflecting the characteristics of the long-term persistence and concentration change over time. It is thought that it is of significance as a health risk assessment study reflecting the exposure characteristics of the accident substance for an actual chemical accident.
