다공질매질을 구성하고 있는 다양한 매질들의 전기적 특성 중의 하나인 유전율상수를 이용하여 지하수 유동 및 매질의 구조를 파악하기 위한 새로운 유전율추적자시험법(dielectric tracer test method)을 본 연구에서 제안하였다. 추적자물질로는 비중이 물과 동일한 에탄올혼합액체(ethanol mixing liquid, EML)를 제작하였으며, 각기 다른 공극률을 갖는 포화 표준사 및 강모래 층에 대해 매질의 유전율상수를 측정할 수 있는 FDR system및 측정센서를 적용해 추적자시험을 실시하였다. 또한 이들의 결과와 비교하기 위하여 추적자물질인 염분농도 $3\%$를 갖는 염분수용액의 농도 변화를 electro multi-meter로 측정하여 비교 검토하였다. 두 시험결과에서 EML추적자시험의 경우, 각각의 포화 흙칼럼에서의 EML 농도변화를 명확히 확인할 수 있었으나, 염분수용액을 적용한 시험에서는 이들이 지속적으로 칼럼 내 하단부로 침전되어 염분농도 변화에 의한 물의 침투 이동은 확인할 수 없었다. 이는 염분수용액의 비중이 물보다 무겁기 때문에 포화토 내 물의 이동 속도에 비례하여 지속적으로 하단부로 침전이 이루어지는 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 물의 비중과 동일한 EML 추적자물질과 이들의 유전율상수 변화를 측정할 수 있는 FDR system을 적용하여 유전율추적자시험의 적용 가능성을 실내추적자시험을 통하여 확인하였다.

There are several methods for separating the baseflow from the hydrograph, and graphical methods (GM) have mostly been used. GMs are those that separate the baseflow from the direct flow simply by connecting rising point with inflection point or points related to some duration from a hydrograph. Environmental tracer method (ETM) is another tool researched and developed under several conditions to estimate the groundwater recharge. The goal of this study is to separate the baseflow component from a storm hydrograph by applying various GMs and ETM, and to compare their results. The baseflow component estimated by ETM was different from the results by GMs in terms of their shapes of fluctuation and flow rates. Another important feature is that the form of the baseflow to which ETM is applied is similar to that of a storm hydrograph. This similarity is presumed to be due to the selection of tracer that respond quickly to rainfall.

Atmospheric concentrations of radon had been continuously observed in Seoul, Korea since December 1999, as a tracer for long-range transport of air pollutants from China continent to Korea. In order to study radon as a tracer of long-range transport, it is important to know information about the atmospheric distribution and variation of radon concentration and its time variation. Atmospheric radon concentration are measured with electrostatic radon monitor(ERM) at Hanyang University located in Eastern area of Seoul. Air sample is taken into a vessel of ERM, and alpha particles emitted by radon daughters $Po^{218}$ are detected with ZnS(Ag) scintillation counter. Hourly mean concentrations and hourly alpha counts are recorded automatically. The major results obtained from time series observation of atmospheric radon were as follows : (1) The mean of airborne radon concentration in Seoul was found to be $7.62{\pm}4.11\;Bq/m^3$ during December $1999{\sim}January$ 2002. (2) The hourly variation of radon concentrations showed the highest in 8:00AM ($8.66{\pm}4.22\;Bq/m^3$) and the lowest in 3:00AM ($6.62{\pm}3.70\;Bq/m^3$) and 5:00AM ($6.62{\pm}3.39\;Bq/m^3$). (3) the seasonal variation of radon concentrations showed higher during winter-to-fall and lower during summer-to-spring. (4) Correlation between airborne radon concentration and the meteorological factors were -0.21 for temperature, 0.09 for humidity, -0.20 for wind speed, and 0.04 for pressure. (5) The mean difference of airborne radon concentration between Asian dust ($5.36{\pm}1.28\;Bq/m^3$) and non-Asian dust ($4.95{\pm}1.49\;Bq/m^3$) phenomenon was significant (p=0.08). We could identify time series distribution of radon concentration related meteorological factors. In addition, radon can be considered a good natural tracer of vertical dispersion and long-range transport.

This paper investigates ventilation characteristics of an environmental chamber simulating an under-floor air conditioning system for isothermal and cooling supply air conditions. The tracer gas sulfur-hexafluoride (SF$F_6$) was injected into a supply duct using step-up and step-down methods. Local mean and room mean ages were calculated from the concentrations measured at internal points and at the exhaust duct. The air change efficiency of the chamber has been found to be greater in cooling conditions than in isothermal conditions. Also the room air change efficiency is not significantly affected but slightly improved by the presence of a supply diffuser.

This paper presents an experimental study for understanding the indoor air quality in a room. A model room, which had a ceiling-mounted supply and a sidewall-mounted exhaust, was used to examine the effect of air exchange rate (AER) and contaminant source location (CSL) as a function of the elapsed time. A tracer gas method, using carbon monoxide tracer, gas analyzers, and a data acquisition system, was applied to study the ventilation air distribution and the tracer removal efficiency, so-called pollutant removal efficiency, in the model room. The experiment was composed of two parts; firstly the AER was varied to examine its effect on the ventilation air distribution and the ventilation effectiveness and secondly both AER and CSL were considered to determine their effect on the pollutant removal efficiency. It was found that the ventilation effectiveness in the model was proportional to AER but not linearly. It was also found that changing the CSL can improve the pollutant removal efficiency. In some cases, the efficiency improvement by increasing AER was achieved by simply changing CSL.

A pilot scale study was conducted on a down-flow hanging sponge (DHS) reactor installed at a sewage treatment plant in Banda Aceh, Indonesia for treatment of desludging septic tank wastewater. Raw wastewater with an average biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and total suspended solids of 139 mg/L and 191 mg/L, respectively, was pumped into the reactor. Two different hydraulic retention times (HRTs, 3 h and 4 h) were investigated, equivalent to organic loadings of 1.11 and $0.78kg\;BOD/m^3/d$, respectively. The average BOD concentration in the final effluent was 46 and 26 mg/L at HRTs of 3 and 4 h, respectively. The concentration of retained sludge along the reactor height was 10.2-18.7 g VSS/L-sponge, and the sludge activities were 0.24-0.32 and 0.04-0.40 mg/g VSS/h for heterotrophs and nitrification, respectively. Values of water hold-up volume, dispersion coefficient, and number of tank in-series found from tracer studies of clean sponge and biomass-loaded sponge confirmed that growth of retained sludge on the sponge module improved hydraulic performance of the reactor. Adoption of the DHS reactor by this Indonesian sewage treatment plant would enhance the role of the current desludging septic tank wastewater treatment system.

This study was conducted to find end-members and tracers which are effective to be applied in the End Member Mixing Analysis (EMMA) model for runoff separation at the Gwangneung coniferous forest catchment (13.6ha), Gyeonggido, Korea. We monitored three successive rainfall events during two weeks from June 26, 2005 to July 10, 2005, and analysed chemical properties of rainfall, throughfall, stemflow, groundwater and soil water considered as main components of storm runoff. The followings are the results of analyses of each component and tracer. Groundwater, soil water and rainfall (or throughfall) were dominant runoff components. Rainfall and groundwater were selected as main components for the two components-one tracer mixing model, and groundwater, soilwater and throughfall were selected as main components for the three components-two tracers mixing model. Tracers were selected from anion ($Cl^-$ and ${SO_4}^{2-}$), cation ($Na^+$, $K^+$, $Mg^{2+}$, and $Ca^{2+}$) and Acid Neutralizing Capacity (ANC) in event 1, 2, and 3. $Na^+$, $Ca^{2+}$ and ANC were selected in the two components-one tracer mixing model and ${SO_4}^{2-}-K^+$, ${SO_4}^{2-}-Na^+$, ${SO_4}^{2-}-Ca^{2+}$, ${SO_4}^{2-}$-ANC, and $Ca^{2+}$-ANC were selected in the three components-two tracers mixing model. Selected main runoff components and tracers can provide basic information to determine the contribution rate of each runoff component and identify the runoff process in a forest watershed.

원전의 안전성분석보고서에는 운영기간중 만일의 사고에 따른 방사선안전성 확보를 위해 부지의 적합성 평가가 요구된다. 부지 적합성은 극히 보수적인 가정을 적용하여 제한구역경계에서 방사선 피폭영향을 평가하여 판단하게 된다. 이들 평가는 방사선영향평가 모델을 보수적인 기상조건 등에 적용하여 수행된다. 본 연구에서는 보수적인 평가 결과의 타당성 검증을 목적으로 확산에 양호하지 못한 악기상 조건에서 추적자확산실험을 실시하였다. 원전부지 실험에 앞서 대전시 인근 유성구 학하리 평지에서 추적자 확산실험을 실시하였다. 확산실험의 분석결과 기존의 확산조건이 좋은 경우의 실험결과와 비교할 때 크게 두 가지 큰 차이를 발견할 수 있었다. 하나는 풍속이 매우 낮고 풍향의 변화가 심해 주 풍하 방향에서 나타나는 최대 농도를 찾기 어렵다는 것이고, 다른 하나는 대기가 매우 안정하여 지상 10 m 낮은 높이에서의 방출임에도 불구하고 방출점에서 수 백 m 떨어진 지점에서 처음으로 상대적으로 높은 농도 분포가 나타나는 경우가 있다는 것이다.
