Trace organic contaminants in deep-sea sediments near Dokdo were analyzed. Total PAMs concentration ranged 14.8-314 ng/g dry weight and high molecular weight PAHs were dominant. The highest PAHs concentration was detected at A19 which located at Ulleung Basin. Most of organochlorines were under detection limit. Among the detected organochlorines, DDT compounds were dominant and followed by HCHs and HCB. Butyltin compounds and most of organophosphorus pesticides were not detected. Vertical distribution of PAHs showed typical sub-surface maximum and decreasing trends depending on depth. The highest PAHs concentration reached 454ng/g. Some organochlorines, DDT, HCH was detected and also showed decreasing trends. Other target organic pollutants were not detected in core sediments. Abnormally high level of PAHs concentration in A19 was discussed and the input sources were inferred to be the transport of sludge derived pollutant dumped at dumping site 'Byung' by deep current.

The impacts of membrane degradation due to chlorine attack on the rejection of inorganic salts and trace organic contaminants by nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO) membranes were investigated in this study. The rejection of trace contaminants was examined at environmentally relevant concentrations. Changes in the membrane surface morphology were observed as a result of chlorine exposure. A small increase in rejection was consistently observed with all four membranes selected in this study after being exposed to a low concentration of hypochlorite (100 ppm). In contrast, a higher concentration of hypochlorite (i.e., 2000 ppm) could be detrimental to the membrane separation capacity. Membranes with severe chlorine impact showed a considerable decrease in rejection over filtration time, possibly due to rearrangement of the polyamide chains under the influence of chlorine degradation and filtration pressure. The reported results indicate that loose NF membranes are more sensitive to chlorine exposure than RO membranes. The impact of hypochlorite exposure (both positive and negative) on rejection is dependent on the strength of the hypochlorite solution and is more significant for the neutral carbamazepine compound than the negatively charged sulfamethoxazole.

A phase II site investigation and feasibility study was conducted at a military mortar shooting range near the demilitarized zone (Kyunggi, South Korea) to assess the extent of contaminants migration to the nearby Imjin river in which a flood control dam is under construction. The results showed that silty-clay soils around target areas were co-contaminated with heavy metals (Cd, Cu, and Pb) and explosives (HMX, RDX, and TNT). The total amount of contaminant was estimated to be 497.1 kg-RDX, 20.6 kg-HMX, 1.4 kg-TNT, 35.2 kg-Cd, 4,331 kg-Cu, and 5,115 kg-Pb, respectively. Both heavy metals and explosives were almost equally distributed on each soil particle size fraction. Neither subsurface soil samples nor ground water samples showed signs of contamination above the environmental criteria. The major migration route of contaminants was soil particles in surface run-off during rain at which a mass discharge rate of 30.0 mg-RDX/hour was observed.

The steady growth in population has led to an enhanced water demand and immense pressure on water resources. Pharmaceutical residues (PRs) are unused or non-assimilated medicines found in water supplies that originate from the human and animal consumption of antibiotics, antipyretics, analgesics etc. These have been detected recently in sewage effluents, surface water, ground water and even in drinking water. Due to their toxicity and potential hazard to the environment, humans and aquatic life, PRs are now categorized as the emerging contaminants (ECs). India figures in the top five manufacturers of medicines in the world and every third pill consumed in the world is produced in India. Present day conventional wastewater treatment methods are ineffective and don't eliminate them completely. The use of nanotechnology via advanced oxidation processes (AOP) is one of the most effective methods for the removal of these PRs. Present study is aimed at reviewing the presence of various PRs in water supplies and also to describe the process of AOP to overcome their threat. This study is also very important in view of World Health Organization report confirming more than 30 million cases of COVID-19 worldwide. This will lead to an alleviated use of antibiotics, antipyretics etc. and their subsequent occurrence in water bodies. Need of the hour is to devise a proper treatment strategy and a decision thereof by the policymakers to overcome the possible threat to the environment and health of humans and aquatic life.

In cases of water pollution accidents, accurate prediction for arrival time and concentration of contaminants in a river is essential to take proper measures and minimize their impact on downstream water intake facilities. It is critical to fully understand the behavior characteristics of contaminants on river surface, especially in case of oil spill accidents. Therefore, in this study, the effects of main parameters of advection and diffusion of contaminants were analyzed and validated by comparing the results of Lagrangian particle tracking (LPT) simulation of Environmental Fluid Dynamic Code (EFDC) model with those of Global Position System (GPS)-equipped drifter experiment. Prevention scenario modeling was accomplished by taking cases of movable weir operation into account. The simulated water level and flow velocity fluctuations agreed well with observations. There was no significant difference in the speed of surface particle movement between 5 and 10 layer modeling. Therefore, 5 layer modeling could be chosen to reduce computational time. It was found that full three dimensional modeling simulated wind effects on surface particle movements more sensitively than depth-averaged two dimensional modeling. The diffusion range of particles was linearly proportional to horizontal diffusivity by sensitivity analysis. Horizontal diffusivity estimated from the results of GPS-equipped drifter experiment was 0.096 m²/sec, which was considered to be valid for applying the LPT module in this area. Finally, the scenario analysis results showed that particle movements could be stagnant when discharge from the upstream weir was reduced, implying the possibility of securing time for mitigation actions such as oil boom installation and wiping oil contaminants. The outcomes of this study can help improve the prediction accuracy of particle tracking simulation to establish the most suitable mitigation plan considering the combination of movable weir operation.

무령왕릉 석수와 지석은 같은 암종으로 심성화성암에 속하는 각섬석암(hornblendite)이다. 이 암석은 녹회색에 중립의 등립질 입상조직을 보이며, 주요 조암광물은 각섬석과 사장석이다. 석수의 전암대자율은 0.15~0.63(평균 $0.42{\times}10^{-3}SI\;unit$), 왕의 지석은 0.11~0.38(평균 $0.24{\times}10^{-3}SI\;unit$), 왕비의 지석은 0.10~0.33(평균 $0.18{\times}10^{-3}SI\;unit$)으로 거의 동일한 낮은 값을 보였다. 이 암석은 공주 부근에서 대규모 산출지를 찾기가 어려우나 암맥상으로 여러 곳에서 확인된다. 그러나 산출상태와 암상으로 보아 석수와 지석의 암석은 맥암과는 달리 심성암의 특징을 보인다. 석수와 지석의 표면에 분포하는 적갈색 및 담갈색 오염물의 분석 결과, 적갈색 오염물은 Fe에 의한 산화물로, 담갈색 오염물은 Ca의 용출에 의한 것으로 나타났다. 적갈색 오염물은 암석 내부 기원과 철제 부장품의 산화가 모두 작용하였으며, 담갈색 오염물은 왕릉에 사용된 석회질에서 유입되어 약간의 철산화물이 더해진 것으로 판단된다. 석수와 지석은 균열, 탈락과 같은 물리적 요인과 화학적 오염이 복합적으로 작용하여 손상이 진행되었다. 그러나 모두 물리적 손상은 극히 적으며, 석수 일부분과 왕비 지석 앞면을 제외하고는 화학적 풍화에도 안정한 상태이다.

월정사팔각구층석탑 부재인 화강암의 구성광물은 석영, 사장석, 미사장석, 흑운모이다. 이 석탑은 금속 장식물과 보조물에서 생성된 녹흔에 의한 황갈색 변색과 기단부와 옥개석 상부에 서식하는 침해생물로 인하여 표면이 훼손되어 있다. 세척 예비실험 결과 옥살산을 사용한 습포법은 제거횟수에 따라 철이온의 용출량이 증가하고 암석의 구성성분인 Mg, Al, Ca 이온의 용출량은 미약하므로 이 세척법은 제거횟수가 증가함에 따라 제거효과가 높고 암석에 끼치는 영향은 미미하다고 판단된다. 침해생물 제거에 이용한 건식세척은 생물제거는 가능하나 미소토양 제거가 어렵고, 증류수를 사용한 습식세척은 미소토양 제거가 가능하였다. 이를 근거로 보존 처리에서 침해생물은 건식세척과 습식세척으로 제거하였고 녹흔은 옥살산을 사용한 습포법으로 제거하였다. 그리고 녹흔의 원인이 되는 금속물의 녹을 물리적으로 제거한 후 철제 금속물은 renaissance wax를 사용하고, 동제 금속물은 B.T.A법을 사용하여 방청처리 하였다.

의성 탑리리 오층석탑(국보 제77호)은 통일신라시대의 대표적인 석조문화재이다. 현재 이 석탑은 지속적인 풍화로 인해 전체적으로 흑색, 황색, 백색변색이 발생되어 있으며 백색변색이 발생한 부분에서 미세균열, 박리박락, 입상분해가 집중적으로 분포해 있다. 표면오염물에 대한 분석결과, 흑색변색은 망간산화물, 황색변색은 철산화물, 백색변색은 석고와 타라나카이트로 인해 발생한 것으로 확인하였다. 또한, 석탑에 발생한 물리적 훼손은 암석내부에서 석고의 결정화 작용으로 인해 발생한 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 의성 탑리리 오층석탑을 장기적으로 보존하기 위해서는 보존처리 매뉴얼에 따라 석고를 중심으로 표면오염물을 제거하고 P-XRF를 활용한 정기적인 모니터링이 요구된다.
