의료폐기물은 감염성물질을 함유하고 있는 모든 종류의 폐기물을 가리키며 전염을 예방하기 위해 운송에 신중을 기해야 한다. 처리 수단으로의 소각은 부피 감소, 악취 제거, 위해성 측면에서 매립이나 투기보다 장점을 갖고 있다. 야외 소각이나 바람직하지 않은 환경에서의 소각은 환경오염 물질의 대기 중 배출을, 생물학적 폐기물의 매립은 토양과 수질오염을 야기시킨다. 피지의 대부분의 2차 병원은 의료 폐기물을 세 군데에 있는 3차 병원으로 차량 또는 배로 이송하여 소각 처리한다. 어떤 의료폐기물은 일반폐기물로 간주되어 현장에서 야외 소각되거나 출산 시 발생한 생물학적 의료폐기물은 매립되기도 하였다. 이런 측면에서 의료폐기물 처리 관련 인력들에 대한 인식 증진을 위한 교육이 시급하다. 피지에서의 의료폐기물 처리는 단일 도로를 따르는 차량운송, 배를 이용한 도서간 운송보다 소형 소각로를 이용한 현장소각이 권장되며, 가이드라인 제정, 관련 인력 훈련, 정부의 법률적 제정 등 의료 폐기물 처리를 위한 기반 조성이 필요하다.

Sudokwon landfill("Sudokwon" means regions of Seoul, Kyunggi and Incheon metropolitan cities in Korea), the world's largest sanitary landfill, has been systematically managing statistics on the incoming and dumping wastes and satisfactorily controlling pollutants including leachate and LFG. According to our long time experience of LFG field monitoring, the emission of GHG from landfill estimated by the IPCC Guideline showed much difference with our results. C&D waste has high concentration of sulfate compared to other wastes. Increased C&D waste of dumping waste had changed the COD/sulfate ratio in the landfill, which caused the increase of H₂S gas and the decrease of CH₄ gas. But the IPCC estimation method does not consider the effects of sulfate. In addition to that, the oxidation factor of the cover soil is set to the default values of 0.1 but the measured values by the field monitoring, are showing much higher than that, especially in the closed landfill.

This study evaluated a method for prompt and periodic monitoring of moisture content in the waste layer of a landfill using a Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) sensor, aimed at ensuring the stable operation of the bioreactor facility at the 2nd landfill of the SUDOKWON Landfill Site. It was found that the TDR sensor is sensitive to variables such as temperature changes and ion content in both the waste layer and leachate, indicating that a correction equation is necessary. A correction equation derived through regression analysis demonstrated a high correlation (correlation coefficient = 0.9647), and field verification experiments confirmed its reliability with an average deviation of only 1.5%. This verifies that the TDR sensor is effective for measuring and monitoring moisture content in landfills. It is also anticipated to be useful for various applications, including monitoring leachate levels, detecting leachate leakage, and assessing rainwater infiltration.

In order to remediate hazardous waste site, a process of electrokinetically purging chemicals from saturated soil is examined by laboratory experiments. Electrokinetic soil remediation is one of the most promising soil decontamination processes that habe igh removal efficiency and time-effectiveness in low-permeability soils such as clay. Being combined with several mechanisms-electromigration, elec troosmosis, diffusion and electrolysis of water, electrokinetic soil processing can remove non-polar organics as well as ionic contaminants. The objectives of this study are; 1) the exploration of the feasibility of electrokinetic soil processing on the removal of heavy metals, 2) the investigation of applicability to the tailing-soils in aban doned mining area, 3) the examination of effects of soil pH and conductivity on the transport phenomena of elements in soils, and 4) the investigation of the applicability of the ionexchange membrance to the efficient collection of heavy metals removed from contaminated soils. With the result of this study, it is suggested that the removal efficiency is significantly influenced by applied voltage & current, type of purging solutions, soil pH, permeability and zeta potentials of soil. Although further study should be needed, it is possible to collect removed heavy metals with ion-exchange membrance in cathode compartment.

Situated close to Heathrow Airport, and adjacent to the M4 and M25 Motorways, the site at Axis Park is considered a prime location for business in the UK. In consequnce two of the UK's major property development companies, MEPC and Redrew Homes sought the expertise of Intergeo to remediate the contaminated former industrial site prior to its development. Industrial use of the twenty-six hectare site, started in 1936, when Hawker Aircraft commence aircraft manufacture. In 1963 the Firestone Tyre and Rubber Company purchased part of the site. Ford commenced vehicle production at the site in the mid-1970's and production was continued by Iveco Ford from 1986 to the plant's decommissioning in 1997. Geologically the site is underlain by sand and gravel, deposited in prehistory by the River Thames, with London Clay at around 6m depth. The level of groundwater fluctuates seasonally at around 2.5m depth, moving slowly southwest towards local streams and watercourses. A phased investigation of the site was undertaken, which culminated in the extensive site investigation undertaken by Intergeo in 1998. In total 50 boreholes, 90 probeholes and 60 trial pits were used to investigate the site and around 4000 solid and 1300 liquid samples were tested in the laboratory for chemical substances. The investigations identified total petroleum hydrocarbons in the soil up to 25, 000mg/kg. Diesel oil, with some lubricating oil were the main components. Volatile organic compounds were identified in the groundwater in excess of 10mg/l. Specific substances included trichloromethane, trichloromethane and tetrachloroethene. Both the oil and volatile compounds were widely spread across the site, The specific substances identified could be traced back to industrial processes used at one or other dates in the sites history Slightly elevated levels of toxic metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons were also identified locally. Prior to remediation of the site and throughout its progress, extensive liaison with the regulatory authorities and the client's professional representatives was required. In addition to meetings, numerous technical documents detailing methods and health and safety issues were required in order to comply with UK environmental and safety legislation. After initially considering a range of options to undertake remediation, the following three main techniques were selected: ex-situ bioremediation of hydrocarbon contaminated soils, skimming of free floating hydrocarbon product from the water surface at wells and excavations and air stripping of volatile organic compounds from groundwater recovered from wells. The achievements were as follows: 1) 350, 000m3 of soil was excavated and 112, 000m3 of sand and gravel was processed to remove gravel and cobble sized particles; 2) 53, 000m3 of hydrocarbon contaminated soil was bioremediated in windrows ; 3) 7000m3 of groundwater was processed by skimming to remove free floating Product; 4) 196, 000m3 of groundwater was Processed by air stripping to remove volatile organic compounds. Only 1000m3 of soil left the site for disposal in licensed waste facilities Given the costs of disposal in the UK, the selected methods represented a considerable cost saving to the Clients. All other soil was engineered back into the ground to a precise geotechnical specification. The following objective levels were achieved across the site 1) By a Risk Based Corrective Action (RBCA) methodology it was demonstrated that soil with less that 1000mg/kg total petroleum hydrocarbons did not pose a hazard to health or water resources and therefore, could remain insitu; 2) Soils destined for the residential areas of the site were remediated to 250mg/kg total petroleum hydrocarbons; in the industrial areas 500mg/kg was proven acceptable. 3) Hydrocarbons in groundwater were remediated to below the Dutch Intervegtion Level of 0.6mg/1; 4) Volatile organic compounds/BTEX group substances were reduced to below the Dutch Intervention Levels; 5) Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and metals were below Inter-departmental Committee for the Redevelopment of Contaminated Land guideline levels for intended enduse. In order to verify the qualify of the work 1500 chemical test results were submitted for the purpose of validation. Quality assurance checks were undertaken by independent consultants and at an independent laboratory selected by Intergeo. Long term monitoring of water quality was undertaken for a period of one year after remediation work had been completed. Both the regulatory authorities and Clients representatives endorsed the quality of remediation now completed at the site. Subsequent to completion of the remediation work Redrew Homes constructed a prestige housing development. The properties at "Belvedere Place" retailed at premium prices. On the MEPC site the Post Office, amongst others, has located a major sorting office for the London area. Exceptionally high standards of remediation, control and documentation were a requirement for the work undertaken here.aken here.

A geophysical and geochemical study was performed to verify the depth of landfill as well as the horizontal/vertical distribution of leachate at the landfill site located in Gongju. The electrical resistivity, with dipole-dipole array and dipole spacing of 5m, was applied along the nine survey lines and electromagnetic induction survey was conducted along the perimeter traverse surrounding the landfill. Cations, anions and stable isotope ($\delta$D and $\delta$$^{18}$ O) analyses were performed on about 63 water and leachate samples collected in dry and rainy seasons at 31 sites. The result of electromagnetic induction survey make it possible to derive the potential route of leachate in the past or present. The imaging of processed resistivity field data show that the possible route of leachate doesn't exist except the survey line 7. The weak zone traversing the landfill, however, is revealed by the electrical resistivity imaging, which may be the potential route of leachate toward the deep ground. The geochemical data agree well with geophysical data for deducing possible route of leachate of the site.

경주 방사성 폐기물 처분장 주변 논에 대한 방사성 요오드 및 테크네튬의 토양-쌀알 전이계수를 조사하기 위하여 온실 내에서 포트재배로 방사성 추적자 실험을 2 년에 걸쳐 수행하였다. 모내기 전에 상부 약20 cm 깊이의 흙을 $^{125}I$(2007 년) 및 $^{99}Tc$(2008 년)와 고르게 혼합한 다음 포트에 관개하여 물이 찬 논같이 만들었다. 전이계수는 토양 중 방사성 핵종 농도에 대한 쌀알(현미) 내 농도의 비로 나타내었다. 쌀알의 방사성 요오드 및 테크네튬 전이계수는 토양에 따라 각각 $1.1{\times}10^{-3}{\sim}6.4{\times}10^{-3}$(세 토양) 및 $5.4{\times}10^{-4}{\sim}2.5{\times}10^{-3}$(네 토양)의 범위였다. 이러한 변이에 대해서는 토양 간 점토 함량의 차이가 유기물 함량이나 pH의 차이보다 중요한 역할을 한 것으로 보였다. 쌀알의 방사성 요오드 및 테크네튬 전이계수의 대표치로서 각각 $2.9{\times}10^{-3}$ 및 $1.1{\times}10^{-3}$이 제안되었다. 앞으로 보다 대표성이 높은 값을 얻기 위하여 관심 부지들을 대상으로 조사가 지속적으로 수행될 필요가 있다.

투수성이 높은 토양에 대한 동전기세정 제염의 영향을 평가했다. 실험토양은 많은 모래를 함유하여 수리전도도가 높은 연구 원자로 주변부지로부터 채취했다. 세정용액의 방출속도는 제염시간 경과와 함께 감소했다. 시트릭산을 사용했을 때, 세정용액의 방출속도는 78.7 ml/day로 가장 빨랐다. 세정용액으로 초산을 사용하였을 때, 토양으로부터 코발트와 세슘의 제거효율은 가장 높은 값인 95.2%와 84.2%를 나타냈다. 동전기제염 시 발생된 토양 폐액부피는 토양세척제염시보다 1/20으로 감소했다. 반면에 동전기세정방법은 토양으로부터 코발트와 세슘 제거효율을 동전기방법 보다 각각 6%와 2%로 향상시켰다. 그러므로 동전기세정방법은 투수성이 높은 토양제염 시 좀 더 효과적이다.
