We considered that characteristics of SO$_2$, concentration level and relations of the meteorological parameters and high pollution concentration from the data measured 7 air quality continuous monitoring stations during 4 years, from 1990 to 1993 in Pusan. The SO$_2$ concentration level showed decreasing trend yearly, it was maximum in Winter, minimum in Summer. The time of SO$_2$ peak concentration lagged from seashore to land because of break-down of the nocturnal inversion layer and seabreeze. Ihe correlations of daily SO$_2$, value between various air quality continuous monitoring stations were highest between Beomcheondong and Meongryundong, lowest between Daeyeondong and Sinpyeongdong because of difference of air Pollution emission sources characteristic. The meteorological parameters affecting SO$_2$ concentration level were minimum temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and air pressure. The SO$_2$ high pollution($\geq$95ppb) occurred almost in Winter, particulaly in such day showing lower wind speed and higher air pressure. Elementary SO$_2$ high Pollution Predictor were high pressure system and stability of lower atmosphere.

Air quality issues in Korea rapidly changed at the beginning of the 1990s from primary to secondary pollutants starting in Seoul, the capital of Korea. The present frame of national air pollution monitoring networks was established between the end of the 1980s and the beginning of the 1990s. Background monitoring was initiated in the middle of the 1990s in response to increasing public concern about the long-range transport of air pollutants. Apart from the national monitoring, both routine and intensive measurements of fine particles have been made for research purposes since the middle of the 1990s at several background sites. However, air pollution monitoring in urban areas for other purposes was relatively scarce as national monitoring has been concentrated in these areas. Although ozone pollution has become a significant issue in major metropolitan areas every summer, only a little information on ozone precursors is available. During the past few years, the number of national monitoring stations has greatly increased. The government has a plan to gradually expand monitoring items as well as stations. It is anticipated that highly detailed information on both photochemical reactants and products will be available within the next several years. More emphasis will be placed on toxic substances based on risk assessment in monitoring for both research and policy making.

Water quality prediction is essential for the proper management of water supply systems. Increased suspended sediment concentration (SSC) has various effects on water supply systems such as increased treatment cost and consequently, there have been various efforts to develop a model for predicting SSC. However, SSC is affected by both the natural and anthropogenic environment, making it challenging to predict SSC. Recently, advanced machine learning models have increasingly been used for water quality prediction. This study developed an ensemble machine learning model to predict SSC using the XGBoost (XGB) algorithm. The observed discharge (Q) and SSC in two fields monitoring stations were used to develop the model. The input variables were clustered in two groups with low and high ranges of Q using the k-means clustering algorithm. Then each group of data was separately used to optimize XGB (Model 1). The model performance was compared with that of the XGB model using the entire data (Model 2). The models were evaluated by mean squared error-ob servation standard deviation ratio (RSR) and root mean squared error. The RSR were 0.51 and 0.57 in the two monitoring stations for Model 2, respectively, while the model performance improved to RSR 0.46 and 0.55, respectively, for Model 1.

대구지역은 주위가 산으로 둘러싸인 분지형 도시이기 때문에 대기 환경 쾌적성이 타 도시 보다 낮은 편이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 대구지역 자동대기오염측정소의 위치를 일산화탄소(CO) 배출량 분포에 기초하여 CO를 체계적으로 관리하기위한 적합한 장소에 대해 조사하였다. 이를 위하여 현재 대구지역 CO 관리정책 수립에 기초자료를 제공하는 자동대기측정소의 위치 적절성에 대하여 평가하였다. 대구시 수치지도와 환경부에서 제공하는 CAPSS(대기정책지원시스템 ; Clean Air Policy Support System) 자료를 활용하여 배출량 지도를 작성하였다. 도로, 아파트, 공장, 소각장 4가지로 구분하여 배출량을 입력한 뒤 법정동별 평균 배출량을 산출하였다. CO 배출지역을 고 배출량 지역과 저 배출량 지역 10단계로 구분하고 현재 측정소가 어느 단계에 해당하는지 조사하였다. 결과적으로, 저 배출량 지역 보다는 CO 고 배출량 지역에 해당하는 측정소가 부족한 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 1999년부터 2007년까지 공통적으로 추가 설치가 필요하다고 나온 국우동 외 6곳에 CO 측정망이 설치된다면 보다 다양한 기초 자료의 제공으로 체계적인 CO 관리가 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구는 서울의 오존 장기변동 특성을 대표하는 대표측정소를 선정하기 위한 통계적인 기법을 구축하기 위하여 수행되었다. 2002년부터 2011년까지 10년간의 오존 시간 농도자료를 분석에 적용하였다. KZ 필터, 상관관계 매트릭스, 군집분석, 공간 분석 방법을 적용하여 대표측정소를 선정하였다. 상관관계 분석 결과 서울 신정동, 사당동, 번동 측정소의 오존 장기간 변동 추세가 높은 상관관계를 나타내었다. 군집분석에서도 세 측정소가 같은 군집으로 분석되었다. 공간분석 결과, 세 측정소가 다른 측정소와 공간적인 상관관계가 높게 나타났다. 이러한 분석결과와 상관계수값을 고려하였을 때, 신정동 측정소가 서울의 오존 장기변동 추세를 대표하는 측정소로 적합하였다. 본 연구 결과는 오존 이외의 대기오염물질의 분석을 위한 대표측정소 선정에도 적용될 수 있으며, 국가대기측정망의 공간적인 분포의 적절성을 평가하기 위해서도 사용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 비분산적외선(NDIR) 방식의 CO$_2$센서를 이용하여 무선 센서 네트워크 기반의 지하 공기질 모니터링 시스템을 구현하고 실제 지하철 승강장에 설치한 후 성능평가를 수행하였다. 서울 지하철은 하루 650만 명이 이용하는 대표적인 대중교통 수단이다. 따라서 승객뿐만 아니라 지하철 역사의 지하 공간에서 근무하는 많은 근로자들의 건강에 대한 관심이 높아짐에 따라 지하철 역사의 공기질 모니터링에 대한 요구가 매우 높아졌다. 현재 이런 요구를 충족하기 위해 환경부와 지하철 운영기관 측에서는 지하철역 공기질 모니터링 시스템을 일부 설치 운영 중이다. 그러나 고가의 수입 센서 이용으로 장비의 규모가 크고 설치 및 상시 운영에 따른 유지보수 비용이 큰 한계점이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 저비용으로 CO$_2$ 농도를 상대적으로 정밀하게 측정할 수 있는 상용화된 CO$_2$ 센서에 대해 이론적으로 분석하고 신뢰성 검증 테스트를 수행하였다. 또한 무선 공기질 측정 센서 노드 및 게이트웨이 시스템을 개발하여 지하철 승강장의 실시간 공기질 데이터를 주기적으로 수집할 수 있고, 효율적으로 모니터링 할 수 있는 웹서버를 구축하였다. 본 연구 결과는 향후 지하 공간 공기질 관리 시스템의 확산 설치를 위하여 기초 연구 자료로 활용될 것이다.

Since 1995, MOCT(Ministry of Construction and Transportation) and KOWACO(Korea Water Resources Corporation) have established the National Groundwater Monitoring Network in South Korea and also MOE(Ministry of Environment) has operated Groundwater Quality Monitoring network. Until 2001, 202 monitoring stations by MOCT and 780 monitoring wells by MOE have been constructed, measured groundwater level and analyzed water samples. Groundwater quality analysis has been conducted two times a year during last 6 years for all monitoring wells. The quality data has about 15 components including pH, COD, Count of Coliform group, and etc.. Trend analysis has been peformed for 6 components(Coliform, pH, COD, NO$_3$-N, Cl and EC) of water quality which are analyzed more than 7 times for total monitoring wells. Two test methods have been used ; Sen's test and Mann-Kendall test. These trend tests have been done at the 0.05 significance level. By the result of Sen's test, Count of Coliform group has either upward or downward trends at 4.3 percent of the monitoring points. pH does at 5.6 percent, COD does at 8.6 percent, Nitrate-Nitrogen does at 13.2 percent, Chloride does at 13.4 percent, and. EC does at 11.6 percent of the monitoring points. The exact causes of the groundwater quality trends are difficult to specify. Notable downward trends in nitrate at many monitoring points may be the result of reduction on some contamination sources. Potential causes include diminished agricultural areas, improvements in sewage treatment and a decrease in atmospheric deposition. Increase in chloride at many monitoring points may be the result of increased non-point source pollution such as road salting and runoff from sprawling paved developments and suburbs.

Characterization of sediment quality is important for the proper management of surface water quality, yet sediment has not been monitored sufficiently. In this study, fecal indicator microorganism concentrations of sediments in the Geum River Basin were monitored. Sampling was carried out at one paddy field, one lakeshore and five monitoring stations in the lower reach of the Geum River Basin. Surface waters and sediments were sampled four times during rainy season. Total coliform concentrations of sediments were 12 times higher in average to those of surface waters while E. coli concentrations of sediments were six times higher. No correlation found between indicator microorganism concentration between surface waters and sediments.

This study suggests a method to grade groundwater quality quantitatively using statistical approaches for evaluating the quality of groundwater in wells included in the Groundwater Quality Monitoring Network (GQMN). The proposed analysis method is applied to GQMN data from 2001 to 2008 for nitrate nitrogen, chloride, trichloroethylene, potential of hydrogen (pH), and electrical conductivity. The analysis results are obtained as groundwater quality grades of the groundwater representing each of the monitoring stations. The degree of groundwater contamination is analysed for water quality parameters, district, and usage. The results show that the degree of groundwater contamination is relatively high by nitrate nitrogen, bacteria and electrical conductivity and at Seoul, Incheon, Gwangju, Gyeonggido and Jeollado. The degree of contamination by nitrate nitrogen and trichloroethylene is especially high when the groundwater is used for agricultural and industrial water, respectively. It is evaluated that potable groudnwater in GQMN is significantly vulnerable to nitrate nitrogen and bacteria contamination.

Hydrogen is promising a candidate for energy supporting the carbon neutrality policy for greenhouse gas reduction, which is being promoted in several countries, including Korea. Although challenging efforts-such as lowering the costs of green hydrogen production and fuel cells-remain, hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) are expected to play a significant role in the energy transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy. In line with this objective, the hydrogen FCEV working group in the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) compiled and revised international standards related to hydrogen refueling stations as of 2019. A well-established hydrogen quality management system based on the standard documents will increase the reliability of hydrogen charging stations and accelerate the use of FCEVs. In this study, among the published ISO standards and other references, the main requirements for managing charging stations and developing related techniques were summarized and explained. To respond preemptively to the growing FCEV market, a continuous hydrogen quality monitoring method suitable for use at hydrogen charging stations was proposed.
