Grain size, the content of ignition loss (IL), and the concentrations of chemical oxygen demand (COD), acid volatile sulfide (AVS), and trace metals (Fe, Mn, Cu, Pb, Zn, Cd, Cr, As, and Hg) in surface sediments from the Taehwa River estuary, Ulsan, were measured to evaluate pollution levels and potential ecological risks of organic matter and trace metals in estuarine sediment. The mean grain size (Mz) of sediments in the study region ranged from $-0.8-7.7{\varphi}$ (mean $2.8{\pm}2.4{\varphi}$). Surface sediments in the upstream region of the Taehwa River were mainly composed of coarse sediments compared to the downstream region. The concentrations of IL, COD, AVS and trace metals in the sediment were much higher at downstream sites of Myeongchon Bridge in the vicinity of industrial complexes than at upstream sites of those in the vicinity of the residential areas due to the anthropogenic input of organic matter and trace metals by industrial activities. On the basis of several geochemical assessment techniques [sediment quality guidelines (SQGs), enrichment factor (EF), geoaccumulation index ($I_{geo}$), pollution load index (PLI) and ecological risk index (ERI)], the surfaces sediments in the study region are not highly polluted for trace metals, except for As. However, the higher concentrations in downstream study regions of the Taehwa River could impact benthic organisms including shellfish (i.e. Manila clam) in sediments.

호소나 하천들의 오염은 일반적으로 점원 오염과 비점원 오염으로 구분할 수 있다. 연구 대상지역인 충주호주변은 호소 주위 도시들의 하수나 공장폐수에 의한 점원 오염뿐만 아니라, 강우에 의한 토양 침식 등에 의하여 야기되는 비점원 오염이 수년전부터 아주 중요한 오염원으로 등장되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 충주호주변의 이러한 비점원 오염을 GIS를 이용하여 정량적으로 분석하였으며, 대상 환경정보들을 데이타베이스화하여 GIS지도모형연구를 실시하였다. 지표 유출량 분석이 이루어진 후, 토양 유실량 계산과 원격탐사기법을 이용한 호소의 녹조류 분석 등이 실시되었으며, GIS 를 이용하여 구현된 환경지질정보시스템에 의하여 종합 분석되었다. 본 연구는 한국자원연구소 환경지질연구그룹에서 시행하고 있는 환경지질도작성 연구사업의 일부이며, 금번 연구결과를 토대로 차년도의 목표에서는 호소주변 개발에 따른 자연환경 오염 최소화의 개발적지 선정과 호소주변 도시들의 확장, 발달에 의한 호소 환경오염 방지 대책이 연구될 것이다.

The specie composition, stranding crops and the dominant species of phytoplankton were studied in three streams, Namdae-stream, Yeongok-stream and Sacheon-stream from May 2008 to February 2009. The water qualities of the three streams which run into estuary were also examined using phytoplankton indicators. As the result, the phytoplankton appeared 94 taxa in Namdae-stream, 79 taxa in Yeongok-stream and 73 taxa in Sacheon-stream, diatoms appeared the most in phytoplankton. Genus Navicula and Cymbella in diatoms appeared to be over 10 taxa in each stream, N. cryptocephala, N. cryptotenella and N. gregaria, the pollution tolerance taxa, appeared more frequent in the downstream. Due to the separation of each substrate by the rapid water velocity in the upstream, Achnanthes minutissima, a known periphyton, was dominant in upstream site at Namdae and Yeongok-stream. Some construction areas and sites of downstream of Namdae-stream, Yeongok-stream and Sacheon-stream were shown to be polluted because pollution tolerance taxa, such as Cyclotella meneghiniana, Nitzschia palea and Oscillatoria limnetica, were dominant. The total of 20 taxa phytoplankton indicators were found, composed of 16 taxa of Water pollution algae including Oscillatoria limosa, 2 taxa of Clean water algae Meridion circulare and Staurastrum puntulatum, 1 taxa of Toxic algae Microcystis aeruginosa and 1 taxa of Taste and odor algae Fragilaria construens. Water pollution indicators were appeared frequently in polluted sites of biological water quality(DAIpo, TDI) and of sites containing high trophic state index(TSI). Therefore, using the phytoplankton indicators can assess water quality through relation of biological water quality and trophic state index.

경제발전과 건축기술의 진보로 인해 건물이 고층화, 대형화되어 실내공간을 이용하는 시간이 늘어나면서 실내공기 오염문제가 대두되고 있다. 특히, 사람은 하루 중 80％ 이상의 시간을 실내에서 생활하고 있으므로 실내공기오염이 인체에 미치는 영향은 매우 중요하다고 할 수 있다. (중략)

This study was performed to investigate the degree of pollution of sediments of stream and reservoir in rural area. A series of site investigations were carried out for Kyongki-do area and chemical analysis were performed for sediment samples. It was found that some samples were heavily polluted with phenol and TPH and gave off a malodor. Soil Pollution Scores(SPSs) was determined for sediment samples. Some samples were classified to Soil Pollution Class(SPC) 2 and 3. For recycling and disposal of dredged sediments from stream and reservoirs, these polluted sediments should be carefully considered. A further study on the criterion of recycling/disposal of sediments and development of new Soil Pollution Index compatible for stream sediments is necessary in future.

In this manuscript, $35m^3/d$ NF unit was designed and applied for surface water treatment of the River Nile water. Intake of Embaba drinking water treatment plant was selected to install that unit at since; it has the lowest water quality index value through the examined 6 sites in greater Cairo area. The optimized operating conditions were feed and permeate flow, 40 and $7m^3/d$, feed pressure 2.68 bar and flux rate $37.7l/m^2h$. The permeate water was drinkable according to Egyptian Ministerial decree 458/2007 for the tested parameters (physic-chemical, heavy metals, organic, algal, bacteriological and parasitological). Single and double sand filters were used as pretreatment for NF membranes but continuous clogging for sand filters moved us to use UF membrane as pretreatment for NF membrane.

Purpose: This study sought to explore the effects of air pollution on professional sports in South Korea. Research design, data, and methodology: The dependent variable, the number of attendances, was comprised of 2013-2017 K-league, 2015-2017 KBO, 2014-2017 KBL regular season games, resulting in 1,063, 2,121, 810 individual match-level observations, respectively. With the actual data collected from each place across the country, we created a categorical variable which identify the air quality index divided into four categories by K-eco (i.e., good, moderate, unhealthy, hazardous). To analyze data, ANOVA was employed. Results: First, there was a significant group effect on K-league attendance. Second, there was a significant group effect of KBO attendance. Lastly, there was a significant group effect on KBL attendance. Conclusions: Summary of above results showed that each professional sport leagues' attendance was significantly different depending on the levels of air pollution. Implications were also discussed. Keywords: air pollution, sport spectatorship, professional sports.

동해연안의 수질특성 및 상태를 파악하기 위하여 2004년부터 2010년까지의 국가해양환경측정망 조사결과를 이용하여 수질인자의 거동을 분석하였다. 본 연구에서는 통계적 방법을 이용한 수질인자간의 상관관계 및 주성분 분석을 통하여 해역별 수질환경 특성을 파악하였으며, OECD의 부영양화 기준과 부영양도, 그리고 유기오염도 지수의 산정으로 해역별 오염상태를 평가하였다. 수질인자간의 주성분 분석에서 동해연안은 클로로필 a와 염분이 주요인자로 설명되는 2개의 요인으로 구분되었다. 해역별로는 죽변을 경계로 남부와 중부로 분류되었으며, 동해 중부 해역에서는 죽변, 그리고 남부해역에서는 감포연안이 별도로 분류되었다. 동해연안의 영양상태는 Oligotrophic~Mesotrophic 수준으로 구분되었으며, 부영양화도는 1 이하로 평가되었다. 유기오염지수는 동해연안 전 해역에서 양호한 수질상태로서 평가되었다.

In order to analysis of the water pollution of the Anyang stream(one of the biggest branch streams of the Han River) and its main tributaries, the geological and topographical and rainfall features in its basin were investigated. To do this, the water samples were collected 23 points of the upper, mid and down of Anyang stream and its tributaries and were analyzed based on the chemical methods, Korean Biotic Index(KBI) and Saprobien systems. The Anyang stream basin has a characteristic of topographical torrential heavy rainfall like a typical rainfall feature in Korea. The concentration and the outflow rate of rainfall is very different in seasonal, and water pollution in dry season is especially severe. After 1997, although the water quality status of stream has been improved gradually, the concentration of T-N and SS at the upstream is increased due to the deficiency of facility used for collecting wastewater released from industrial factories, livestock farms and residential areas. The mainstream of the Anyang stream is classified into the 5th grade water as polysaprobic water area according to Saprobien system and the biotic index is over 2.5 in overall. Most of tributaries have 1~3 grade water limit with ${\alpha}$- and ${\beta}$-mesosaprobic except the upper and mid streams of Samsung tributary, in which pollution status is the lowest part. Though Sambong tributary is ${\alpha}$-mesosaproboic, biotic index is low because of the appearance of abundant benthos animals in farming and fishing villages.
