To control organic matters, it needs to manage not only biodegradable organic matters but also refractory organic matters. Refractory organic matters from municipal wastewater, industrial wastewater, non-point sources and etc., have been continuously discharged to the near watersheds. It is estimated that the refractory organic matter ratios are continuously increased in waterbody. In watersheds of the Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs), it was investigated that COD/BOD ratios increased in many unit watersheds of the 4 major river basins. The portions COD/BOD ratios increased were found to be a 97% of Geum River unit watersheds, a 81% of Yeongsan/Seumjin River unit watersheds, a 78% of Nakdong River unit watersheds, a 70% of Han River unit watersheds, respectively. Therefore, it has become important for establishment of effective management strategies to control refractory organic matter in watersheds of the Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs). In order to properly manage organic matters including refractory organic matters, the present organic indicator (BOD) has to be converted to TOC (or COD). Compared to COD and BOD, TOC, as a organic matter indicator, is evaluated more appropriate.

In this paper, runoff characteristics of South-Han river watershed in terms of refractory organic matters were investigated. The concentrations of DOC, POC, R-DOC, R-POC in runoff and flow rates were determined by monitoring 27 times in dry season and 4 times in rainy season. The concentrations of the dissolved refractory organic matter, R-DOC was the lowest in fall and similar in the other dry seasons. The particulate refractory organic matter, R-POC showed less fluctuation than R-DOC. In summer, mass loading was the highest than other dry seasons. The concentrations of R-DOC, R-POC were showed to be affected by runoff volume. The mass loading grows higher as runoff volume gets higher.

This research investigates the runoff characteristics of refractory organic matters from Kyongan river watershed. Samples were taken 27 times during dry season, 4 times during rain events and analyzed into flow rate, Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC), Particulate Organic Carbon (POC), Refractory Dissolved Organic Carbon (R-DOC), Refractory Particulate Organic Carbon (R-POC). R-DOC during dry season was the lowest in winter and showed a rising tendency in spring and R-POC changes less than R-DOC. The mass loading of Refractory Total Organic Carbon (R-TOC) in summer takes approximately 80% of 1 year mass loading. During rainy season, EMC of R-DOC was similar to R-DOC in dry season. But maximum EMC of R-POC was 12 times higher than that of R-POC in dry season. Results of the survey show that enhanced management of R-DOC in dry season and R-POC in rainy season is needed.

This study was conducted to evaluate the characteristics of dissolved orgamc matters based on their origins. The dissolved organic carbon(DOC) represents an index for dissolved organic matter and basically regarded as a source of organic pollution. The monthly variations and vertical profiles of dissolved organic carbon(DOC) in Kumoh reservoir were surveyed from May 2001 to April 2002. In addition, other areas such as river, reservoir, sewage and industrial wastewater were also surveyed in summer 2001. Kumoh reservoir was divided with depth into three layers .: epilimnion, metalimnion and hypolimnion. The proportion of total DOC(T-DOC) was classified by labile DOC(L-DOC) and refractory DOC(R-DOC) on the basis of long-term incubation. DOC of freshwater and Kumoh reservoir was ranged to be 1.6~4.1 mgC/L and 2.1~4.0 mgC/L, respectively. L-DOC accounted for 3~30% of DOC from watershed. Therefore, refractory dissolved organic carbon(R-DOC) was major component of DOC in the watershed. The decomposition rate(k) ranged from 0.008 $d^{-1}$ to 0.083 $d^{-1}$ in Kumoh reservoir. The highest decomposition rate(k) was observed at River Hoein III freshwater. Therefore, modified total organic carbon analyzer is needed to be applied for effective management of dissolved organic matter.

2,600만 수도권 시민들의 식수원인 한강수계의 경우 수질관리를 위해 비점오염원에 대한 관리가 중요하며 특히 비점오염원이 주요 원인인 유기물질 및 난분해성 물질에 대한 조사가 필요하다. 이번 연구에서는 한강 수계의 주요 3개 하천(남한강, 북한강, 경안천)의 연간 비강우시 난분해성 유기물질을 포함한 유기물질의 유출특성을 연구하였다. 연구결과 유기물질 및 난분해성 물질의 경우 용존성 물질의 비율이 높았으며 전체 부하량중 여름철에 대부분의 부하량이 가장 많았다. 각 하천별 유기물질 및 난분해성 물질의 연간 부하량의 경우 유역면적에 비례하여 남한강, 북한강, 경안천 순서로 나타났다. 각 유역 면적 당 부하량 산정결과 TOC의 경우 경안천, 남한강, 북한강 순서로 나타났으며, R-TOC의 경우 비교적 일정한 유출특성을 보였다.

The purpose of this study is to find the characteristics of organic matters based on the distribution and oxidation rates, as noted according to the spatial and temporal variations from 2008 to 2016. Generally speaking, the Han River system is separated into one lower course and two upper courses which are the Namhan River and Bukhan River. The seasonal factor is one of the most important causes of water quality changing in both of the upper courses as a result of a few pollution sources. The concentration of organic matter was measured as higher in the lower course into which great streams with point and non-point sources were identified. According to seasonal variations, however, the change of the organic matter in the lower course is comparatively slighter than that of organic matters in the upper courses. The oxidation rates related to the BOD were 15 %, 17 % and 26 % in the Bukhan River, Namhan River and the lower course, respectively. These results could be explained that more biodegradable organic matter were seen to have existed in the lower courses comparing to the activity in the upper course. The oxidation rates of the BOD were noted as relatively higher in the eutrophicated places with phytoplankton. Therefore the BOD is one of the good index models to find the characteristic of the eutrophicated water. On the other hand BOD would not be enough to estimate concentration of refractory organic matters in the Bukhan and Namhan river. Consequently, both of the TOC and BOD are necessary indices to understand the identified refractory and/or biodegradable characteristics of organic matter.

본 연구는 하수처리장 방류수가 하천 유기물 오염에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위하여 구미시 관내에 위치한 구미 4단지, 구미, 구미 원평하수처리장 방류수와 처리장 상 하류 하천을 조사하였다. TOC 중 DOC가 70% 이상으로 대부분 용존성으로 존재하였고, TOC에 대한 BOD, $COD_{Mn}$의 산화율은 각각 13~43%, 37~73%로 나타났다. 하지만 현재 사용되고 있는 BOD, $COD_{Mn}$이 총 유기탄소에서 차지하는 비율이 약 50% 이하로 나타나, 유기물을 대표하는 데 어려움이 있을 것으로 보이며, 향후 TOC로 지표를 전환하는 방향도 모색해 보아야 할 것으로 판단된다. DOC 분해실험 결과 DOC 중 R-DOC가 70% 이상으로 난분해성 유기물이 대부분을 차지하는 것으로 나타났다. 하수처리장 방류수의 유기물이 하천에 미치는 영향을 보면, 낙동강 하류에서 구미 4단지, 구미, 구미 원평하수처리장 방류수의 총 TOC 부하량이 차지하는 비율은 15%로 나타났다. 총 비율은 15%로 비교적 많은 부분을 차지하지는 않았지만 이 중 생분해성 유기물보다 난분해성 유기물이 더 많은 부분을 차지하는 것으로 나타나, 상수 처리 시 소독부산물의 전구물질이 증가하는 원인으로 작용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

수도권에 일 약 8백만톤의 물을 취수하여 공급하는 팔당호는 수질보전정책 시행으로 BOD(Biochemical Oxygen Demand)1.1mg/L를 달성하였으나 난분해성 물질을 포함하는 COD(Chemical Oxygen Demand) 항목은 점점 증가하는 양상을 보였다. 난분해성 유기물질의 상수원 유입은 잠재적인 BOD의 증가, 수돗물의 냄새와 맛 유발, THM(Trihalomethane) 발생 증가, 조류 증식을 일으키며 유해 난분해성 미량오염물질이 잔류할 경우 수생 환경에서 내분비 교란과 항생제 내성과 같은 현상을 유발한다. 본 연구에서는 팔당호의 난분해성 유기물질 관리를 위해 팔당호와 팔당호 상류의 점 오염원과 비점오염원의 난분해성 유기물질 유출 농도를 파악하기 위한 모니터링을 실시하였다. 지역별 난분해성 유기물질 유출 농도를 비교하고 하수처리장에서의 제거율을 파악하였다. 또한 피어슨 상관성 분석 기법을 사용해 유기물질 지표와 선행건기일수, 선·선행건기일수간 상관성 분석을 실시하였다. 하천과 팔당호의 난분해성 유기물질 농도는 유사한 양상을 보였다. 하수처리장 유출수는 하천과 팔당호보다는 높은 농도를 보였으며, 유입수와 유출수 농도의 비교 결과 하수처리장에서 난분해성 유기물질 제거율은 65.73%였다. 난분해성 유기물질 유출 농도와 선행건기일수, 선·선행건기일수 사이에서는 유의미한 상관성이 나타나지 않았다. 이는 데이터 부족으로 판단되며 장기적인 모니터링으로 데이터 축적이 필요하다 사료된다.

Long-term monitoring results of water qualities at major lakes in Korea showed COD (chemical oxygen demand) concentrations have been increasing while BOD (biochemical oxygen demand) concentrations have been decreasing during last decades. This was mainly due to refractory organic matters have been accumulated in the water body. In this study, the possible causes of COD concentration increase were evaluated. From the statistics, it can be understood that potent pollutant sources including fertilizer consumption, population, livestock, and carbon uptake have increased. Leaching tests were carried out with soils and biomasses sampled at agricultural-forestry area. From the leaching experiments, leachate qualities as a ratio of $COD_{Cr}/BOD$ were in the range of 2.5-5.0, implying that NOM (natural organic matters) discharged from the forestry area was mainly responsible for the COD accumulation. It can be understood from this research that diffuse pollutants from forestry areas should be controlled properly to reduce COD accumulation in the lakes.
