  • One hundred and eighty-seven water samples were collected from 23 of spring water, 2 of ground water, 1 of tap water in Pusan area and 3 of natural mineral waters. Total coliform group, fecal coliform, viable cell count and microflora were investigated to evaluate water quality of drinking water. The results were as follows: range and geometric mean value of total coliform and fecal coliform MPN's of spring water were 0~1,500/100 ml, 85/100 ml and 0~460/100 ml, 24/100 ml but coliform group was not detected in the samples of tap water and natural mineral water. Viable cell count of spring water, ground water and tap water were lower as 100 cell than the criteria for drinking water but that of natural mineral water was higher as 6.5X 10$^2$~7.4X 10$^3$ /ml. Predominant speces among the 219 strains isolated from the samples were 19.6% Aeromonas spp., 19.2% Enterobacteriaceae, 16% Acinetobacter spp. Especially, spring water and vessels were contaminated by Hafnia spp. and Providencia Spp, inhabitant of the oral cavity.

  • Main objectives of this paper were; firstly, to explain impacts of suspended solid in the water body on the relationship between water quantity and water quality; secondly, study on the inter-relationship between organic materials, nutrients, pathogens, and suspended solids considering eco-friendly water resources. Relationship between water quality and water quantity is not easy to understand as it includes physicochemical-biological reactions and diffuse pollutions. Especially, suspended solid makes water resource management difficult. Eroded soil in the upper land transported to the downstream by water flows carrying biological and physicochemical information and sedimented in the downstream. As sediment scoured under high flow condition and environmental change, suspended solid and sediment should be emphasized for understanding the inter-relationship between water quality and water quantity. Knowledge gaps between known monitored data and management of suspended solid were identified as well for future study.

  • 유류, 특히 경유와 윤활류로 오염된 지역에서, 원위치 토양 세정법(In-situ soil flushing)을 이용하여 오염된 토양과 지하수를 동시에 정화하였다. 연구 지역은 부산시에 위치한 4.5 m(가로) $\times$ 4.5 m(세로) $\times$ 6.0 m(깊이) (총 121.5 $\textrm{m}^2$) 규모의 유류 오염지역으로.사질 및 미사질층이 혼합되어 나타나는 평균 수리전도도가 2.0 $\times$ 1$10^{-4}$cm/sec인 불균질 토양으로 이루어진 부지이다. 오염지역 지하수에 비이온 계면활성제 sorbitan monooleate(POE 20) 2%와 이소프로필알콜 0.07%를 혼합한 용액을 이용하여 약 3 공극체적(pore volume)을 세정하였으며, 지하수만을 이용하여 계면활성제 용액 세정 이전과 세정 이후 각 1공극체적을 세정에 이용하였다(총 5 공극체적). 총 4개의 주입정을 이용하여 각 주입정당 1.8 l/min-0.5 l/min의 속도로 주간(8시간)에 연속 주입하였으며, 2개의 채수정을 이용하여 야간에는 1시간 간격과 주간에는 30분 간격으로 2분간 채수하였다. 분석을 위한 시료 채수는 매일 아침 9시와 저녁 5시에 각 채수정으로부터 200$m\ell$ 이상 채수하였으며, 채수 용액을 저장하는 혼합저장 탱크에서의 시료 채취도 병행하였다. 토양 세정기간동안 채수정으로부터 채수된 유출용액은 모두 저장탱크에 저장되었다가, 지하수처리 장치에 의해서 유류와 중금속, 고형물들을 제거한 후 배출되어졌으며, 토양 내 TPH(total petroleum hydrocarbon) 농도가 토양오염 우려기준치 이하로, 유출된 지하수는 폐수배출허용기준을 만족할 때까지 토양 세정을 실시하였다. 처리 지하수만을 이용한 세정의 경우 채수정의 유출수 TPH농도는 10ppm이하였다. 계면활성제 용액을 이용한 세정의 경우 채수정의 최대 TPH 유출 농도는 1761 ppm으로서 처리지하수만을 이용하였을 때보다 170배 이상 증가하였으며, 세정기간 동안 두 개의 채수정으로부터 약 18.5kg의 유류(TPH)가 제거되었다. 계면활성제 용액 세정시 유출수는 유류의 농도뿐만 아니라 중금속 농도도 함께 증가하였으며, 이러한 현상은 오염토양의 중금속 정화에도 유리하게 사용될 수 있다고 사료된다. 유류로 오염된 실제 지역의 불균질 토양과 지하수를 계면활성제를 이용한 원위치 세정법으로 효율적으로 정화함으로서, 실험실 연구에 제한되었던 원위치 세정법의 효율을 현장 오염 지역에서 증명할 수 있었고, 원위치 토양 세정법이 실제 오염지역의 토양$\boxUl$지하수 정화에 효과적으로 사용될 수 있음을 입증하였다.

  • 본 실험에 사용된 균주는 유류로 오염된 지역의 토양시료로부터 직접 분리한 Rhodococcus fascians로 이전 연구에서 항공유의 분해에 효과가 있는 것으로 밝혀진 균주이다. 디젤유가 항공유보다 R. fascians의 생장에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 해수중의 디젤 분해를 위해서는 2%이상의 접종량이 효과적이며 접종량이 증가할 경우 잔류량이 더 감소하였으나 큰 차이는 없었다. 해수중의 디젤이 5%이상에서는 디젤유의 독성에 의해 R. fascians의 생장이 저해를 받아 디젤 잔류량이 높게 나타났다. R. fascians는 pH 8에서 가장 높은 디젤 분해속도를 보였으며 비교적 넓은 pH 범위에서 디젤 분해도가 유지되는 것으로 나타났다. R. fascians의 최적 성장온도 보다 높은 $32^{\circ}C$에서는 디젤의 분해에 온도증가에 따른 자연분해의 영향이 큰 것으로 나타났다. R. fascians의 해수중 디젤유 분해의 최적온도는 $27^{\circ}C$로 최적 생장온도에서 분해가 활발히 이루어지는 것을 알 수 있었다.

  • 대청호의 추동과 문의수역에 설치된 수중폭기시설의 수질 개선 및 조류저감 효과를 평가하기 위하여, 폭기시설의 영향지점과 대조지점에서 시설의 가동 전 후 수질을 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 폭기지점과 대조지점에서 수심에 따른 수온 및 용존산소의 농도 차이는 거의 없었으며, 조류의 주요 성장인자인 총인과 총질소의 농도도 거의 차이가 없었다. 이러한 결과로부터 추동과 문의수역에서 폭기시설에 의한 수체 순환 및 영양염류 저감 효과가 크지 않은 것으로 판단되었다. 하절기에 심층의 총인 농도가 매우 높았으며, 이는 오염된 퇴적물로부터 용출되었거나 강우에 의해 외부로부터 유입된 것으로 판단되었다. 이 시기에 폭기시설을 가동할 경우 총인이 확산되어 조류의 성장을 촉진시킬 수 있으므로, 폭기시설의 가동 시기를 결정할 때 이를 고려하여야 한다.

  • The outbreak cases of Cryptosporidium or Giardia from drinking water in abroad have drawn attentions on the public health. It is well known that Cryptosporidium is the most resistant organism against chlorine disinfection. To guesstimate the levels of Cryptosporidium and Giardia in Korean surface water, 1~2 samples from 22 drinking water sources in four Korean major rivers of Han, Keum, Nakdong, and Youngsan were monitored. In addition, two sites in Kyunganchon, a contaminated river were monitored for comparison. In source waters, detection rates of Cryptosporidium and Giardia were 15% (6/39) and 21% (5/24) with the range of 1~3 oocysts/10 L and 1~6 cysts/10 L, respectively. In Kyunganchon, they were 60% (6/10) and 70% (7/10) in the range of 1~9 oocysts/10 L and 10~72 cysts/10 L, respectively. When one of the source waters in Han river was monitored monthly, Cryptosporidium were found mostly in cold season. Matrix of the samples gave influence on the recoveries of the spiked protozoa. The recoveries of both Cryptosporidium and Giardia increased in the samples of Kyunganchon, known as contaminated area. However, protozoan recovery did not show significant relation with turbidity, the index of matrix contamination, which implies that there are additional unveiled features of matrix affecting the recoveries of the protozoa. The protozoan distribution in Kyunganchon showed significant relations with Cl. perfringens, anaerobic and spore forming indicator bacteria of fecal contamination by regression analysis, but not with turbidity, the general indicator of water quality.

  • Free-living amoebas (FLAs) can cause severe disease in humans and animals when they become infected. However, there are no accurate survey reports on the prevalence of FLAs in Korea. In this study, we collected 163 tap water samples from buildings, apartments, and restrooms of highway service areas in 7 Korean provinces with high population density. All these buildings and facilities have water storage tanks in common. The survey was separated into categories of buildings, apartments, and highway service areas. Five hundred milliliters of tap water from each building was collected and filtered with 0.2 ㎛ pore filter paper. The filters were incubated in agar plates with heated E. coli at 25℃. After axenization, genomic DNA was collected from each FLA, and species classification was performed using partial 18S-rDNA PCR-sequencing analysis. We found that 12.9% of tap water from buildings with storage tanks in Korea was contaminated with FLAs. The highway service areas had the highest contamination rate at 33.3%. All of the FLAs, except one, were genetically similar to Vermamoeba vermiformis (Hartmannella vermiformis). The remaining FLA (KFA21) was very similar to Acanthamoeba lugdunensis (KA/E26). Although cases of human infection by V. vermiformis are very rare, we must pay attention to the fact that one-third of tap water supplies in highway service areas have been contaminated.

  • A continuous process of persulfate oxidation and citric acid washing was investigated for ex-situ remediation of complex contaminated soil containing total recoverable petroleum hydrocarbons (TRPHs) and heavy metals (Cu, Pb, and Zn). The batch experiment results showed that TRPHs could be degraded by $Fe^{2+}$ activated persulfate oxidation and that heavy metals could be removed by washing with citric acid. For efficient remediation of the complex contaminated soil, two-stage and three-stage processes were evaluated. Removal efficiency of the two-stage process (persulfate oxidation - citric acid washing) was 83% for TRPHs and 49%, 53%, 24% for Cu, Zn, and Pb, respectively. To improve the removal efficiency, a three-stage process was also tested; case A) water washing - persulfate oxidation - citirc acid washing and case B) persulfate oxidation - citric acid washing (1) - citric acid washing (2). In case A, 63% of TRPHs, 73% of Cu, 60% of Zn, and 55% of Pb were removed, while the removal efficiencies of TRPHs, Cu, Pb, and Zn were 24%, 68%, 62%, and 59% in case B, respectively. The results indicated that case A was better than case B. The three-stage process was more effective than the two-stage process for the remediation of complex-contaminated soil in therms of overall removal efficiency.

  • To investigate the possible applications of plants to remediate heavy-metal-contaminated soil, a pilot experiment was performed for four years in a reclaimed dredging area using two Alnus species, i.e., Alnus firma and Alnus hirsuta. In a comparison of phytomass of the two species at two different planting densities, the phytomass of Alnus planted at low density was twice as high as that of Alnus planted at high density after four years. The Alnus species showed active acclimation to the heavy-metal-contaminated soil in a reclaimed dredging area. A. hirsuta showed greater accumulation of phytomass than A. firma, indicating that it is the better candidate for the phytoremediation of heavy-metal-contaminated soils. In the pilot system, Alnus plants took metals up from the soil in the following order; Pb > Zn > Cu > Cr > As > Cd. Uptake rates of heavy metals per individual phytomass was higher for Alnus spp. planted at low density than those planted at high density in the pilot system. Low plant density resulted in higher heavy metal uptake per plant, but the total heavy metal concentration was not different for plants planted at low and high density, suggesting that the plant density effect might not be important with regard to total uptake by plants. The quantity of leached heavy metals below ground was far in excess of that taken up by plants, indicating that an alternative measurement is required for the removal of heavy metals that have leached into ground water and deeper soil. We conclude that Alnus species are potential candidates for phytoremediation of heavy-metal- contaminated surface soil in a reclaimed dredging area.

  • Little study has been published specifically addressing the dynamics of nitrate reducing bacteria (NBR) during the bioremediation of nitrate-contaminated aquifer. In our previous study we successfully quantified fumarate-enhanced microbial nitrate reduction rate in a nitrate-contaminated aquifer by using a series of single-well push-pull tests (PPTs). In this study we analyzed the suspended population during PPTs. To monitor changes in the microbial community, PCR amplification of 16S rDNA genes and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) were used to study the dynamics of the bacterial community in detail. Before the stimulation of NBR, the dominant DGGE bands obtained by PCR were affiliated with V-Proteobacteria consisting of Acinetobacter spp. and Pseudomonas fluorescens. However, as NBR biostimulation proceeded, the dominant patterns of DGGE bands changed, and they were affiliated with Azoarcus denitrificans Td-3 and Flavobacterium xanthum. Azoarcus denitrificans Td-3 is known to completely reduce nitrate to nitrogen gas. The series of single-well push-pull tests in this study should prove useful for conducting rapid, low-cost feasibility assessments for in situ denitrification and provide important information about which microorganisms play a key role in bioremediation of a nitrate contaminated aquifer.
