THM models have been developed in several researchers in order to better understand and manage the presence of THM in water distribution system. Several developed models were demonstrated in this study for estimating THM concentrations in target water distribution system. In order to investigate the performance of developed THM models, lab and field test were investigated. Predicted THM concentrations by all kind of models were showed good correlation with observed values. When the developed models were compared with lab and field test, the Rodriguez model during tested models was most predictive than the other models.

Three species of Fusarium, F. fujikuroi, F. verticillioides and F. proliferatum, are known to be associated with bakanae disease of rice [1, 2]. F. fujikuroi infects rice flowers and survive in endosperm and embryo of the seeds. Infected seed is an important source of primary inoculum of pathogens [3]. Seeds of rice (Oryza sativa cv. Boramchan) collected from bakanae-infected field were found to be 96% infected with Fusarium sp., 52% with F. fujikuroi, 42% with F. verticillioides, and 12% with F. proliferatum as determined by incubation method and species-specific PCR assays. F. fujikuroi was detected at lemma/palea, endosperm and embryo whereas F. verticillioides and F. proliferatum were recovered only from lemma/palea by means of component plating test. Seed disinfection methods have been developed to control bakanae disease and prochloraz has been most widely used for rice seeds. Two chemicals formulated with prochloraz (PC 1) and prochloraz + hexaconazole (PC 2) that inhibit biosynthesis of ergosterol strongly reduced the incidence of Fusarium spp. on selective media to 4.7% and 2.0%, respectively. Disease symptoms of rice seedlings in nursery soil were alleviated by chemical treatment; seedlings with elongated leaves or wide angle between leaf and stem were strikingly reduced from 15.6 to 3.2% (PC 1) and 0 (PC 2), stem rots were reduced from 56.9 to 26.2% (PC 1) and 32.1% (PC 2), and normal seedling increased from 0.4 to 13.3% (PC 2). Prochloraz has some disadvantages and risks such as the occurrence of tolerant pathogens [4] and effects on the sterol synthesis in animals and humans [5]. For these reasons, it is necessary to develop new disinfection method that do not induce fungal tolerance and are safe to humans and animals. Chlorine dioxide ($ClO_2$), that is less toxic, produces no harmful byproducts, and has high oxidizing power, has been reported to be effective at disinfection of several phytopathogenic fungi including Colletotrichum spp. and Alternaria spp. [6]. Gaseous $ClO_2$ applied to rice seeds at a concentration of 20 ppm strongly suppressed mycelial growth of Fusarium fujikuroi, F. verticillioides and F. proliferatum. The incidence of Fusarium spp. in dry seed with 8.7% seed moisture content (SMC) tended to decrease as the concentration of $ClO_2$ increased from 20 to 40 ppm. Applying 40 ppm $ClO_2$ at 90% relative humidity, incidence was reduced to 5.3% and resulted in significant reduction of disease symptoms on MS media. In nursery soil, stem rot was reduced from 56.9 to 15.4% and the number of normal seedlings increased from 0.4 to 25.5%. With water-soaked seeds (33.1% SMC) holding moisture in the endosperm and embryo, the effectiveness of disinfection using $ClO_2$ increased, even when treated with only 20 ppm for four hours. This suggests that moisture was a key element for action of $ClO_2$. Removal of the palea and lemma from seeds significantly decreased the incidence of Fusarium spp. to 3.0%. Seed germination appeared to decrease slightly by water-soaking at $30^{\circ}C$ because of increased SMC and by physical damage of embryos from hulling. These results indicate that the use of gaseous $ClO_2$ was effective as a means to disinfect rice seeds infected with Fusarium spp. and that moisture around the pathogens in the seed was an important factor for the action of $ClO_2$. Further investigations should be conducted to ascertain the best conditions for complete disinfection of Fusarium spp. that infect deep site of rice seeds.

It has been confirmed that some Trihalomethanes (THMs) suspected as carcinogens, can be formed during chlorination for water supply through the reaction of chlorine and humic substances in water. The electrochemical characteristics on activated carbon fiber filter (ACF) electrode were investigated to remove the THMs in the chlorination process of drinking water. The electrochemical removal efficiency depended on the applied voltage and flow rate. In this study, the best result showed that the removal efficiency of THMs was higher than 99%.

본 연구에서는 수처리에서 모노클로라민을 주입 할 경우 살균 부산물로 NDMA 발생정도를 조사하였다. 이를 위하여 pH, 디메칠아민 및 모노클로라민 농도, 질소비율의 변화에 따른 NDMA 생성 농도를 측정하였다. 디메칠아민 농도를 0.01 mM또는 0.05 mM로 고정시킨 조건에서 모노클로라민/디메칠아민 비율이 1보다 클 때와 작을 때에 따라 NDMA 생성에 큰 차이가 있는 것을 알 수 있었다. NDMA 생성 농도는 일반적으로 pH와 모노클로라민에 존재하는 질소비율 증가에 따라 높게 나타나는 상관성을 보여 주었으며, pH 7과 8에서는 디메칠아민을 5배 증가시킨 결과 거의 모든 조건에서 NDMA 생성도 5배 이상 증가하였다. 수 처리장에서 염소살균 결과 모노클로라민이 존재 할 경우 NDMA 생성을 촉진시킬 수 있는 것으로 조사되었다.

A number of disinfection by-products (DBPs) are formed as a result of the addition of chlorine into the public water supply and some of them have been suggested to cause adverse health effects on humans. However, the estimation of human ingestion exposure to each DBP has been performed simply by multiplying the concentration of a chemical in the cold tap water by the volume of water consumed during a given period of time. However, a questionnaire concerning water consumptions administered to sixty people residing in Chunchon showed that the volume of tap water consumed accounted for approximately 70% of the total volume of water consumed and that of heated water represented approximately 94% of tap water ingested. Heating durations for water-containing foods (e. g., soups and pot stews) and heated beverages (e. g., barley tea) were grouped into 10, 20, 30, and 35 minutes. Based on these time frames, an aluminum pot containing one liter of tap water was heated for the above respective time periods using a gas range to determine the variations of the concentrations of individual DBPs by heating. The pH and total residual chlorine were measured before and after heating. Collected water samples were carried to the laboratory and analyzed for eight DBPs and total organic carbon. Chloroform, bromodichloromethane, chloral hydrate, 1, 2-dichloro-2-propanone, 1, 1, 1-trichloropropanone, and dichloroacetonitrile were not detected following heating for 10 minutes and longer. The concentration of dichloroacetic acid (DCAA) was elevated with heating duration, resulting in the averages of 2.0, 3.1, 4.7, and 12 times the initial concentration, respectively, for 10, 20, 30, and 35 minute heating periods. On the other hand, the concentration of trichloroacetic acid (TCAA) decreased with heating duration, with 0.65, 0.40, 0.34, and 0.19 times lower than the initial concentration. Therefore, it is suggested that ingestion exposure to DCAA increases with heating duration but that ingestion exposure to TCAA decreases. In addition, while the amount of DCAA was elevated at the initial time periods (10 or 20 minutes) and then slowly decreased, that of TCAA was rapidly decreased. In conclusion, water-heating processes during cooking influence the concentrations of individual DBPs in the tap water, with lower levels for volatile DBPs and TCAA, and higher levels for DCAA. Therefore, concentration change needs to be taken into consideration in the estimation of human ingestion exposure to DBPs.

The main reason of applying chlorination is to sterilize microbes existing in the drinking water treatment. But chlorination could lead to the formation of disinfection by-products (DBPs) by the reaction of free chlorine with humic substance in the water. Especially the DBPs including trihalomethanes (THMs), haloacetic acids (HAAs), haloacetonitriles (HANs), and haloketones (HKs) exist in the tap water. The US environmental protection agency (US EPA) defines that trihalomethanes, dichloroacetic acid, trichloroacetic acid, and dichloroacetonitrile among DBPs are probable/possible human carcinogens. US EPA suggests maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) for THMs (80$\mu$g/L) and HAAs (60$\mu$g/L) in drinking water. In Korea, THMs in drinking water has been surveyed but DBPs in general has not been studied in drinking water practically. Therefore only THMs have been regulating as criteria compounds since 1990 but neither HAAs nor HANs. Researches on HAAs are yet to be found. HAA formation potentials(HAAFPs) have not been practiced. HAAs depends on the characteristics of water sources by chlorination. In this study, HAAFPs from three distinct sources were investigated by laboratory chlorination experiments. This study was performed to measure the level of HAAs in drinking water in Seoul area. At April 1996, after collecting the raw waters from the three sites with the different properties, the water samples were chlorinated at various conditions(pH 5.5, pH 7.0 and without pH adjustment) in the state of raw water to have 0. 5mg/L of residual chlorine concentration. And the raw water, treated water, and tap water of water treatment were collected to measure the HAAs concentration. The quantitative analysis of HAAs was conducted by US EPA methods.

Peroxone 공정은 정수처리 공정에서 기존의 염소와 오존 공정들의 여러 가지 한계점들을 극복할 수 있는 공정이다. 과산화수소와 오존에 의해 생성되는 OH 라디칼은 다양한 유기성 오염물질들에 대해 빠른 산화분해 및 높은 제거효율을 나타낸다. Peroxone 공정을 운영하는데 있어 주요 과제는 OH 라디칼 생성을 저해시키는 또는 생성된 OH 라디칼을 소모시키는 scavenger들과 공존할 때 peroxone 공정의 효율을 높일 수 있는 방안을 강구하는 것이다. Bromate와 같은 무기성 산화 부산물의 생성을 최소화할 수 있는 방안과 peroxone 공정 처리 후 염소 소독시 생성되는 염소 소독부산물들의 생성을 보다 저감할 수 있는 방안에 대해서도 많은 연구가 필요하다. 또한, 수중에 잔류하는 과산화수소에 대한 문제이다. 잔류 과산화수소를 on-line으로 측정할 수 있는 정밀한 측정장비의 개발 및 보급이 우선되어야 peroxone 공정의 운영에 있어서 안전성이 확보될 수 있다. 이러한 과제들이 해결이 된다면 peroxone 공정은 보다 다양한 목적으로 정수처리에 효율적으로 적용될 수 있을 것이다.

대부분의 산업 시설에서는 biofouling과 부식 등의 문제가 발생하는데, 이러한 현상의 주된 원인은 생물막의 형성이라고 알려져 있다. 특히 경제적인 문제뿐 아니라 수도 관망과 의료시설 등에서 형성된 생물막은 건강상의 문제점을 초래할 수 있다. 이제까지 생물막 형성을 제어하기 위해 많은 연구들이 이루어져 왔지만, 현재까지 효과적인 방안이 정립되지 못하였다. 본 연구에서는 비산화성 소독제인 은 화합물을 효과적인 생물막 소독제로 제시하고자 한다. 은은 반응성이 약해서 물 속의 병원성 미생물을 소독하는데 크게 효과적이지 못하지만, 다른 소독제와 달리 인체에 무해하고, 소독 부산물을 생성시키지 않으며, 안정성이 뛰어나 잔류 효과가 크다는 점에서 2차 소독제로써 가능성을 인정받고 있다. 은 이온과 산화 은을 이용하여 생물막과 수중 미생물에 대한 소독능을 평가한 결과, 은의 약한 반응성이 생물막 소득에는 오히려 장점으로 작용하는 것으로 나타났다. 지표 미생물(E. coli, P. aeruginosa)의 생물막에 대해서 염소에 비해 은이 비슷하거나 오히려 뛰어난 소독능을 보였다. 이는 염소에 비해 반응성이 약한 은이 생물막 외부에서 소모되지 않고 생물막 내부로 잘 침투되었기 때문으로 보인다.

The presence of ammonia, usually in the form of ammonium ion ($NH_4{^+}$), can enhance bacterial growth m the distribution system and make the production of drinking water more costly if ammonium must be removed to ensure good disinfection. Removal of ammonia by biological oxidation could be economical which prevents excess chlorine dosage In this research, effects of hydraulic retention time (HRT) and media type on the ammonia removal efficiencies of submerged biofilm reactor were investigated. The biofilm reactors combined the characteristics of high biological solids capture efficiency and good hydraulic control. The results indicate that biofilms can remove over 77 percent of the ammonia with HRT of longer than 2 hr even at low temperature ranging from 14.6 to $16.6^{\circ}C$. The HRT has a significant effect on nitrification. The overall nitrification and efficiency of ammonia removal increase with increasing HRT. It has also been observed that when the fibrous media was used, the ammonia removal, nitrification rate and endurance to shock improved.
