To add new groundwater standard, 7 candidate materials (copper, zinc, selenium, manganese, iron, chromium, aluminum) were calculated by CROWN (Chemical Ranking Of groundwater pollutaNts). Copper and zinc were selected as groundwater candidates through the process and monitored total 430 samples for 2 years with 113 groundwater sampling sites. In this study, geological distribution characteristics (igneous rock, metamorphic rock, sedimentary rock) of copper and zinc were evaluated and the geological background levels obtained by a cumulative probability distribution and pre-selection methods were compared. In the results, the highest average concentrations of the copper and zinc were observed both in the igneous rock. The detection concentration ranges of copper and zinc in 430 groundwater samples were $0.002{\sim}0.931mg\;L^{-1}$, and $0.002{\sim}32.293mg\;L^{-1}$, respectively. In addition, detection concentration ranges of copper and zinc were $0.002{\sim}0.931mg\;L^{-1}$, $0.002{\sim}32.293mg\;L^{-1}$ in the igneous rock, $0.002{\sim}0.134mg\;L^{-1}$, $0.004{\sim}7.038mg\;L^{-1}$ in the metamorphic rock and $0.002{\sim}0.008mg\;L^{-1}$, $0.003{\sim}3.948mg\;L^{-1}$ in the sedimentary rock, respectively. As a result of the background concentrations with two methods, zinc concentrations with the pre-selected method are comparatively higher than that of the others with the cumulative distribution.

In addition to the measurement of the concentration of soil contaminants, the new idea of indicative parameters was proposed to validate the remedial works through the monitoring for the changes of soil characteristics after applying the clean up technologies. The parameters like CFU (colony forming unit), pH and soil texture were recommended as indicative parameters for land farming. In case of soil washing, water content and the particle size distribution of the sludge were recommended as indicative parameters. The sludge is produced through the particle separation process in soil washing and it is usually treated as a waste. The parameters like water content, organic matter content, CEC (cation exchange capacity) and CFU were recommended as indicative parameters for the low temperature thermal desorption method. Besides the indicative parameter, sampling methods in stock pile and the optimal minimum amount of composite soil sample were proposed. The rates of sampling error in regular grid, zigzag, four bearing, random grid methods were 17.3%, 17.6%, 17.2% and 16.5% respectively. The random grid method showed the minimum sampling error among the 4 kinds of sampling methods although the differences in sampling errors were very little. Therefore the random grid method was recommended as an appropriate sampling method in stock pile. It was not possible to propose a value of optimal minimum amount of composite soil sample based on the real analytical data due to the dynamic variation of $CV_{fund{\cdot}error}$. Instead of this, 355 g of soil was recommended for the optimal minimum amount of composite soil sample under the assumption of ISO 10381-8.

이 연구는 오염원이 산재해 있는 농촌지역으로 아산지역을, 그리고 공업단지와 주거지역이 위치한 공단지역으로 구로구지역을 연구대상지역으로 선정하여 공단지역과 농촌지역 지하수의 물리.화학적 특성과 오염 양상을 조사하였다. 또한 지하수의 효율적인 이용과 적절한 관리를 위해 지리정보시스템을 구축하고 이를 이용하여 지하수오염과 잠재점오염원의 공간적인 관련성을 규명하였다. 아산지역 지하수는 Ca-HCO$_3$유형의 지하수이며 SiO$_2$와 HCO$_3$함량비가 높은 특징을 보여 물-암석 반응이 지하수 성분을 지배하는 가장 큰 요인임을 보여준다. 구로구지역 지하수는 Ca-HCO$_3$유형의 지하수이며 Cl, NO$_3$및 SO$_4$등 오염물질이 부화되고 SiO$_2$에 비해 Ca 함량비가 더 높게 나타나는 등 다양한 오염원에 의한 영향을 반영하고있다. 아산지역에서는 37.5%(총 40개 중 15개)의 지하수 시료에서 NO$_3$,SO$_4$및 Zn의 함량이 먹는 물 수질 기준을 초과하는 오염현상이 조사되었으며, 대부분이 NO$_3$의 오염이었다. 축산농가 및 공장에 대해 오염영향범위를 조사하기 위해 버퍼링 분석을 실시한 결과 l00 m 거리에 걸쳐 오염의 영향이 미치고 있어 공장 및 축산농가가 지하수 오염의 직접적인 원인임을 확인하였다. 구로구지역에서는 64.7%(총 51개 중 33개)의 지하수 시료에서 NO$_3$, Cl, SO$_4$, Fe 및 Zn의 함량이 음용수 수질기준을 초과하는 오염현상이 확인되었다. NO$_3$오염은 50 m 이상의 심부지하수에서도 관찰되어 이미 심각한 오염현상이 진행되었음을 보여주었다. Cl 오염은 구로동 지역의 50 m 이하 천부지하수에서 관찰되었으나 구로동의 구로공단지역에서는 먹는 물 수질기준 이하의 낮은 함량을 보였다. 구로동지역은 70%, 고척동지역은 42%, 궁동지역은 14%의 지하수 시료에서 오염물질이 먹는 물 수질기준을 초과하는 오염현상이 조사되었다.

The ability to measure groundwater contaminant flux is increasingly being recognized as crucial in order to prioritize contaminated site cleanups, estimate the efficiency of remediation technologies, measure rates of natural attenuation, and apply proper source terms to model groundwater contaminant transport. Recently, a number of methods have been developed and subsequently applied to measure contaminant mass flux in groundwater in the field. Flux measurement methods can be categorized as either point methods or integral methods. As the name suggests, point methods measure flux at a specific point or points in the subsurface. To increase confidence in the accuracy of the measurement, it is necessary to increase the number of points (and therefore, the cost) of the sampling network. Integral methods avoid this disadvantage by using pumping wells to interrogate large volumes of the subsurface. Unfortunately, integral methods are expensive because they require that large volumes of contaminated water be extracted and managed. Recent work has investigated the development of an integral method that does not require extraction of contaminated water from the subsurface. We begin with a review of the significance and importance of measuring groundwater contaminant mass flux. We then review groundwater contaminant flux measurement methods that are either currently in use or under development. Finally, we conclude with a qualitative comparison of the various flux measurement methods.

Groundwater sampling was performed at 38 wells where they are located in the areas with high uranium and radon (marked as A and B, respectively) concentrations, which were based on the previous research results. In-situ parameters (temperature, pH, EC, Eh, DO) and natural radionuclides (uranium and radon) were analyzed to figure out the characteristics of groundwater environments. In-situ data did not show any relations to natural radionuclide data, which could be caused by groundwater mixing, depths of wells, and geological settings, etc. But the highest radon well presented relatively low temperature value and the highest uranium well presented relatively low pH values The highest uranium concentration ranging $1.14{\sim}188.19{\mu}g/L$ showed in the area of A region consisted of Jurassic two-mica granite. The areas of Jurassic biotite granite and Cretaceous granite in the A region have the uranium concentrations ranging $0.10{\sim}49.78{\mu}g/L$ and $0.36{\sim}3.01{\mu}g/L$, respectively. The uranium values from between wells of community water systems (CWSs) penetrating fractured bed-rock aquifers and personal boreholes settled in shallow aquifers near the wells of CWSs show big differences. It implies that the groundwaters of the two areas have evolved from different water-rock interaction paths that may caused by various types of wells having different aquifers. High radon activities in the area of B region composed of Precambrian gneiss showed ranging from 6,770 to 64,688 pCi/L. Even though the wells are located in the same geological settings, their rodon concentration presented different according to depth and distance.

Diffusive gradients in thin films (DGT) are passive sampling devices used to determine the time-weighted average concentrations (TWAC) of contaminants. To ensure accurate performance in groundwater, it is crucial to identify environmental characteristics and maintain optimal operational conditions. This study examined the deployment time required to reach effective capacity, the thickness of the diffusive boundary layer (DBL) under stagnant water conditions, and biofilm formation on the DGT surface using groundwater samples. When using DGT with Chelex gel (A=3.14 cm²), the effective capacity was 0.7 ㎍ for Cd and 250 ㎍ for Zn, with a deployment time of 24 h. Lower Cd accumulation was due to the competition effect of coexisting ions. The DBL thickness under stagnant conditions was 0.074 cm, 93% of the diffusion gel's thickness (0.08 cm). Neglecting DBL thickness in TWAC calculations led to a 79% decrease in the determined concentration. No biofouling was observed during the 28-d DGT deployment in groundwater. In conclusion, it is essential to consider the appropriate deployment time, DBL thickness, and biofilm formation to ensure accurate DGT performance in determining contaminant levels in groundwater.

Batch test and column test were performed to develop the design factors for PRBs against the contaminated groundwater by ammonium and lead. Clinoptilolite, one of the natural zeolites having excellent cation exchange capacity(CEC), was chosen as the reactive material through the ion-exchange mechanism. In the batch test, the reactivity of Clinoptilolite to ammonium and lead was examined with varying the particle size of Clinoptilolite. The nit weight of Clinoptilolite showed removal efficiencies of 65 % against the ammonium and 98% against lead. The effect of particle size of Clinoptilolite was not noticeable. In the column test, the permeability was examined using flexible-wall permeameters with varying the particle size of Clinoptilolite. When the washed Clinoptilolite having the diameter of 0.42-0.85 nm was mixed with Jumunjin sands in 20:80 ratio (w/w), the highest permeability of 2$\times$10$^{-3}$ -7 x 10$^{-4}$ cm/s was achieved. The reactivity and the strength property of the mixed material were investigated using fixed wall column having 8 sampling ports on the wall and the direct shear test, respectively. Clinoptilolite was found to be a suitable material for PRBs against the contaminated groundwater with ammonium and/or heavy metals.

The feasibility of stimulating in situ aerobic cometabolic activity of indigenous microorganisms was investigated in a trichloroethene(TCE)-contaminated aquifer, A series of single-well natural drift tests (SWNDT) was conducted by injecting site groundwater amended with a bromide tracer and combinations of toluene, oxygen, nitrate, ethylene and TCE into an existing monitoring well and by sampling the same well over time. Transformation of ethylene, a surrogate of overall TCE transformation activity, was also observed, and its transformation results in the production of ethylene oxide, suggesting that some tolune-oxidizing microorganisms stimulated may express a monooxygenase enzymes. Also in situ transformation of TCE was confirmed by dilution-adjusted data analysis developed in this study. These results indicate that, in this environment, toluene and oxygen additions stimulated the growth and aerobic cometabolic activity of indigenous microorganisms expressing monooxygenase enzymes and that these are responsible for observed toluene utilization and cometabolism of ethylene and TCE. The simple, low-cost field test method provides an effective method for conducting rapid field assessments and pilot testing of aerobic cometabolism of TCE, which has previously hindered application of this technology to groundwater remediation.

본 연구는 휘발성 유기 화합물로 오염된 가솔린 지역에서 soil-gas의 분석결과로부터 오염도를 유추하는 기법에 대하여 서술 하였다. Soil-gas의 채취방법으로는 펌프를 이용한 1)grab sampling법과 흡착제 trap을 사용한 2)passive sampling법이 있다. Grab sampling법은 특정시간에 특정장소에서의 오염도를 보여주며, 반면에 passive sampling법은 특정위치에서 시간에 따른 오염도의 변화를 보여 준다. Soil-gas의 분석은 1)PID나 FID와 같은 작은 검지기에 의해서 총괄 탄화수소량을 측정할수도 있고 2)기체농도에 따라서 색깔이 변하는 지시약이 채워진 기체검지기 튜브를 사용할수도 있으며 3)여러가지 화합물을 한 번에 분석할수 있는 이동형 GC를 사용할수도 있다. Soil-gas를 이용한 측정법은 매우 값싸며 세밀한 정밀조사를 하기 위한 전단계에서 사용할 수 있는 유용한 방법으로 추천할만하다 하겠다.

해저지하수와 지하수 기원 영양염류 유입량의 시간적 변화특성을 알아보기 위해 2009년 9월부터 2010년 9월까지 2-3개월 간격으로 제주도의 방두만에서 지하수의 유출속도와 영양염류 농도를 측정하였다. 해저지하수의 유출속도는 0~330 cm/day(평균 약 170 cm/day)였으며 조석주기 동안 육상 지하수면과 해수면사이의 수리학적 압력경사의 변화로 인해 고조에서 저조로 갈수록 빨라지는 경향을 보였다. 또한, 해저지하수의 유입량은 겨울철에 비해 여름철에 상대적으로 높았다. 지하수 기원 영양염류 유입량은 방두만내 전체 영양염류 유입양의 용존무기질소는 90~100%, 용존무기인은 70~95%, 용존무기규소는 65~100% 이었으며, 이는 0.9~33 g $carbon/m^2/day$의 유기탄소 생성에 기여를 하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 해저지하수를 통한 영양염류의 유입은 제주도 연안의 부영양화 및 생물생산에 매우 중요한 역할을 담당하는 것으로 보인다.
