태안 앞바다에서 발생한 유조선과 예인선 충돌사고로 인해 대량의 유류가 유출되어 주변 연안 해역에 큰 오염피해가 발생하였으며, 유출유 확산과정을 부정확하게 예측한 결과가 제공되어 사고 초기에 효과적으로 피해를 방지하기 위한 대책을 제대로 수립하지 못해서 피해가 커졌다는 주장이 제기되었다. 본 연구에서는 유출유의 확산에 영향을 주는 주요 환경인자가 무엇인지 확인하기 위한 초기 연구로 조류와 취송류에 의한 해수유동이 유출유 확산에 준 영향을 수치모의하였으며, 조류와 취송류가 초기 유출유 확산에 있어서 중요한 요소임을 확인하였다.

Objectives: On December 7, 2007, the Hebei Spirit oil tanker spilled out 12,547 kl of crude oil on the Yellow Sea 10 km away from the cost of Taean Province, Korea. As the coastline has been contaminated, local residents have been exposed to crude oil. Because the residents were showing many symptoms, we investigated the acute health effects of this oil spill on them. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study consisting of the heavy and moderately oil soaked area in Taean and the lightly oil soaked area in Seocheon. Ten seashore villages were selected from each area, and 10 male and female adults were selected from each village. We interviewed the subjects using a structured questionnaire on the characteristics of residents, the cleanup activities, the perception of oil hazard, depression and anxiety, and the physical symptoms. The odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were analyzed using logistic regression analysis. The logistic regression model was adjusted for age, gender, education, smoking, the perception of oil hazard and anxiousness. Results: The more highly contaminated the area, the more likely it was for residents to be engaged in cleanup activities and have a greater chance of exposure to oil. The indexes of anxiety and depression were higher in the heavy and moderately oil soaked areas. The increased risks of headache, nausea, dizziness, fatigue, tingling of limb, hot flushing, sore throat, cough, runny nose, shortness of breath, itchy skin, rash, and sore eyes were significant. Conclusions: The results suggest that exposure to crude oil is associated with various acute physical symptoms. Long-term investigation is required to monitor the residents' health.

우리나라는 매년 250여건의 크고 작은 해양오염사고가 빈번하게 발생하는 지역으로, 허베이스피리트호와 마리타임메이지호 등과 같은 대규모 해양오염사고 발생 시 해양오염으로 인한 피해를 저감하기 위해서 해양오염방제요원의 전문성을 강화하는 것은 필수적이라고 할 수 있다. 이러한 관점에서 국제해사기구(IMO)는 최근 유류오염사고 대응 전문성을 강화하기 위한 OPRC 훈련모델과정을 개정할 계획이다. 이와 같은 관점으로 우리나라 해양경비안전교육원의 해양오염방제레벨 과정과 국제해사기구(IMO) 그리고 IMO 교육훈련 모델에 따라 실제 교육훈련을 실시하는 OSRL의 교육과정을 비교하여 해양오염방제 레벨과정의 개선방안을 제시하였다. 분야별로 교육커리큘럼, 실습 및 토의방법, 교육교재 및 IMO 모델 훈련과정 개정에 따라 훈련과정 개발하는 교육기관 인증에 관한 사항이 제안되었다.

연안해역에서의 해상 운송량이 늘어남과 함께 유조선의 충돌 및 좌초 등의 해난사고에 의해 해양환경에 막대한 피해를 끼치는 원유 유출사고도 대폭 증가하고 있다. 누유의 효율적인 수거와 환경피해를 최소화 하기 위해서는 oil map 즉, 누유오염지역의 시간영역에서 정확한 예측이 매우 중요하다. 이러한 예측은 정수면위 누유의 초기확산과 조류, 바람 파도에 기인한 표층류에 의한 이동이라는 중요한 두가지 과정을 고려하여 이루어진다. 본 논문에서는 초기확산만을 고려하였다. 누유의 초기확산 추정을 위해 새로운 수치모델과 기법이 제안되었다. 본 모델의 타당성을 검증하기 위해 간단한 실험이 이루어졌다. 또한, 가상누유사고에 대해 수치 시뮬레이션을 수행하였는데 본 모델로 부터 기름층두께를 포함하는 매우 현실적인 oil map을 얻을 수 있었다.

In this study we examined the economic value of restoration technology for oil spill using contingent value methods. One and one half approach to questionnaires can be taken when analyzing tax payer situations as well as single bound approach. The results of the empirical analysis suggest three conclusions. First, the economic value of the restoration technology considered are estimated to be between 8,439 won to 11,867 won per month. Second, the WTP is estimated differently depending on the approaches, OOHB and SB, and the degrees of difference are very sensitive to the model specifications. This empirical result supports the argument for using interval for the economic value when using CVM. Third, the empirical results may provide useful input to policy authorities attempting to estimate the economic justification of the R&D investment for developing an ocean environmental restoration technology.

Objectives: We aimed to assess the risk of metabolic syndrome one year after the 2007 Hebei Spirit oil spill in Taean, Korea among people exposed to spilt oil during clean-up work. Methods: A total of 6,923 adults, including 3,019 males and 3,904 females, participated in the study. Health examinations and blood tests (total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, fasting blood sugar) were performed. A logistic regression model adjusting for age, gender, smoking history, drinking history, income, education, and marital status was used to estimate the risk of metabolic syndrome associated with the level of oil spill exposure. Results: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 24.9% among males and 18% among females. Compared with people living within 20 km of the coastline, the risk of metabolic syndrome among people living within 0.8 km of the coastline was significantly higher (male OR=1.696, 95% CI=1.320-2.178, female OR=1.992, 95% CI=1.549-2.561), including a significant dose-response relationship for distance from early contaminate coastline (p<0.001). The risk of metabolic syndrome was higher according to the increase of duration of cleaning work. The risk of metabolic syndrome among people who participated in the clean-up work for more than 116 days, compared with people who participated in the cleaning work for or less 14 days, was significantly higher (male OR=1.845, 95% CI=1.448-2.353, female OR=1.752, CI=1.378-2.228), with a significant dose-response relationship for days of clean-up work (p<0.001). Conclusion: This study showed that there is a significant association between exposure to the oil spill during the clean-up work, distance from early contaminate coastline and the risk of metabolic syndrome in a doseresponse manner.

본 연구에서는 해상누유의 시간변화에 따른 오염지역 예측을 위한 수학모델 및 수치기법을 제안하였다. 본 모델은 기름의 분자적인 확산 뿐만아니라 해수의 표층유동에 기인한 기름의 이동을 동시에 고려하는데 그 특징이 있다. 그리고, 실제 누유사고에의 보다 실용적이고 효율적인 응용을 위해 자동적으로 계산대상영역을 설정하는 격자수정방법을 도입하였다. 본 계산기법을 다양한 가상의 누유사고에 대해 적용해 본 결과, 매우 사실적인 누유오염지도를 얻을 수 있을 것으로 여겨진다.

A three-dimensional digital image processing technique is proposed to quantitatively predict the dispersion phenomena of oil droplet onto the surface of the water. This technique is able to get the dispersion rate of an oil droplet three-dimensionally just below the surface of the water over time. The obtained dispersion rate obtained through this technique is informative to the investigation into the relationship among the gravity, surface tensions between oil, water, and air. This technique is based upon the three-dimensional PIV(Particle Imaging Velocimetry) technique and its system mainly consists of a three CCD(Charge Coupled Device) cameras, an image grabber, and a host computer in which an image processing algorithm is adopted for the acquisition of dispersion rate oil an oil droplet.
