시설재배지에서 토양 양분으로 유기농업자재인 가축분 종류별 퇴비를 밑거름으로 처리한 후 발생하는 N₂O와 딸기의 생육 특성을 조사하기 위해 본 연구를 수행하였다. 가축분퇴비는 돈분과 우분, 계분을 원료로 하여 각각 만들어진 제품을 사용하였고, 딸기 표준시비량의 질소를 기준으로 단독 그리고 혼합 처리하였다. N₂O의 총배출량은 무기질비료 처리구와 비교하여 계분퇴비 처리구에서 10.7% 많았으나 다른 가축분퇴비 처리구에서는 16.5~41.9% 적게 배출되었다. N₂O가 주로 배출되는 기간은 비료살포 후 17일차까지로 전체 배출량의 70~87%를 차지하였고, 이후 158일간 13~30%가 발생하였다. N₂O 배출량은 토양의 NH₄⁺-N 함량과 부의 상관성을 나타내었다. 딸기의 생육 중 엽수, 엽폭, 관부직경은 처리구간 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았고, 엽장은 무기질비료 처리구보다 가축분퇴비 처리구에서 컸으며, SPAD 값은 우분퇴비와 계분퇴비를 혼합하여 시용한 처리구에서 가장 높았다. 딸기 과실의 무게와 당도는 처리구간 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다.

Indoor air quality can be affected by indoor sources, ventilation, decay and outdoor levels. Understanding the effectiveness of indoor air quality control depends on knowledge of the characteristics of air pollutants in indoor air, especially their quantities and persistence, and the relevance of indoor sources to these factors. Toluene within new and established houses has been determined and factors significant to its presence have been identified. A total of 30 selected houses in Seoul, Asan and Daegu areas that were constructed within 4 years and over 4 years of construction were measured the concentration of toluene from July to September in 2004. Toluene emission decay of double-exponential model exhibited good fit of $Y=276.37e^{-1.21x}(R^{2}=0.34,\;P=0.06)$ for 2 years and then $Y=51.54e^{-0.11x}(R^{2}=0.40,\;P=0.0)$ from 23 years in new houses. In case of living in new houses, noncarcinogenic health effects of exposure to toluene was 1.38 of hazard quotient (HQ) comparing to toluene reference dose of 0.13 mg/kg-day.

Petroleum-contaminated soil is considered among the most important potential anthropogenic atmospheric methane sources. Additionally, various rhizoremediation factors can affect methane emissions by altering soil ecosystem carbon cycles. Nonetheless, greenhouse gas emissions from soil have not been given due importance as a potentially relevant parameter in rhizoremediation techniques. Therefore, in this study we sought to investigate the effects of different plant and soil amendments on both remediation efficiencies and methane emission characteristics in diesel-contaminated soil. An indoor pot experiment consisting of three plant treatments (control, maize, tall fescue) and two soil amendments (chemical nutrient, compost) was performed for 95 days. Total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) removal efficiency, dehydrogenase activity, and alkB (i.e., an alkane compound-degrading enzyme) gene abundance were the highest in the tall fescue and maize soil system amended with compost. Compost addition enhanced both the overall remediation efficiencies, as well as pmoA (i.e., a methane-oxidizing enzyme) gene abundance in soils. Moreover, the potential methane emission of diesel-contaminated soil was relatively low when maize was introduced to the soil system. After microbial community analysis, various TPH-degrading microorganisms (Nocardioides, Marinobacter, Immitisolibacter, Acinetobacter, Kocuria, Mycobacterium, Pseudomonas, Alcanivorax) and methane-oxidizing microorganisms (Methylocapsa, Methylosarcina) were observed in the rhizosphere soil. The effects of major rhizoremediation factors on soil remediation efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions discussed herein are expected to contribute to the development of sustainable biological remediation technologies in response to global climate change.

The purpose of this study is to make an economic analysis of power plant utilities by examining electricity generating costs with environmental consideration. Economic growth has caused pollutant emission, and subsequent environmental pollution has been identified as a very real limit to sustainable development. Considering the enormous role of electricity in the national economy, it is thus very important to study the effect of environmental regulations on the electricity sector. Because power utilities need large investments during construction, operation and maintenance, and also require much construction lead time. Economic analysis is the very important process in the electric system expansion planning. In this study, the levelized generation cost method is used in comparing economic analysis of power plant utilities. Among the pollutants discharged of the electricity sector, this study principally deals with the control activities related only to $CO_2$, and $NO_2$, since the control cost of $SO_2$, and TSP (Total Suspended Particulates) is already included in the construction cost of utilities. The cost of electricity generation in a coal-fired power plant is compared with one in an LNG combined cycle power plant. Moreover this study surveys the sensitivity of fuel price, interest rate and carbon tax. In each case, this sensitivity can help to decide which utility is economically justified in the circumstance of environmental regulations.

Since mobile source is a major source of VOCs, quantifying emissions from motor vehicles is an important factor to control VOCs in atmosphere. In this study, in order to evaluate tailpipe VOCs emissions from motor vehicles, mass emissions of non-methane volatile organic compounds from 45 vehicles were determined. Measurements were made on a chassis dynamometer using CVS-75 mode and speed specific drive modes. Target VOCs are 53 compounds determined as the volatile ozone precursors. The individual VOCs composition of vehicle emission and emission rates were also determined. In case of gasoline vehicles, VOCs emission from over 80,000 km vehicles were about 46% larger than less 80,000 km vehicles. The difference in benzene and toluene according to driving mileage was 44% and 26% respectively. The composition of VOCs were different by fuel type. The order of VOCs composition was paraffins>aromatics>olefins in gasoline vehicle emissions, paraffins>olefins>aromatics in light duty diesel vehicle emissions. The VOCs emissions were decreased as vehicle speed increasing. These results will be used to calculate total VOCs emissions from automobiles in the future.

The impact of 1 pound of nitrous oxide ($N_2O$) on warming the atmosphere is almost 310 times that of 1 pound of carbon dioxide. Agricultural soil management is the largest source of $N_2O$ emissions, accounting for about 73% of total $N_2O$ emissions. This study was conducted to evaluate the nitrous oxide emission in the cultivation of soybean during the first year of No-tillage (NT) and Conventional-tillage (CT) practices, under the various conditions such as different kinds of fertilizers, soil temperature, and moisture level. In the experiment, we set CT and NT treatments into 4 different groups - control treatments (no fertilization), green manure treatments, chemical fertilizer treatments and organic manure treatments. In the case of chemical fertilizer treatments, $N_2O$ emission of NT treatment was 7.78 to 22.59% lower than CT treatment. In organic manure treatment, $N_2O$ emission of NT treatment was 6.62% higher than CT treatment in August. But In July and September, $N_2O$ emission of NT treatment was 9.50% 28.38% lower than CT treatment, respectively. Soil temperature was correlated with $N_2O$ emission positively. In the future, continued long-term research on influence of various environmental factors on the generation of $N_2O$ and the economic value of no-till farming is required.

This study involved a total budget analysis on the greenhouse gas (GHGs) emissions of landfills, focusing on surface emissions and the effect on emissions reductions of generating landfill gas (LFG) electricity from March 7, 2007 to December 31, 2018. The GHGs reduction effect from the electricity generation using 536.6 × 10³ tCO₂ of CH₄ was only 5.8% of the GHGs from surface emissions of 9,191 × 10³ tCO₂. In the total budget, the collection ratio should be over 95% if the reduction effect is greater than the surface emissions. The correlation coefficient for the relationship between the LFG collection ratio and GHGs reduction was -0.89. An additional effect of lowering CH₄ content may occur if the surface emitting flux of LFG decreased with an increase in the collection ratio. The unit reduction effect of GHGs by suppressing surface emissions was 4174 tCO₂/TJ. This was far greater than that of LFG power generated (54.3 tCO₂/TJ), demonstrating that surface emission control is the most important measure by which to mitigate GHGs emission.

중부지방 3백만 주민의 상수원으로 이용되는 대청호는 부영양화가 심화되어 적절한 수질관리가 없으면 상수원수의 최저등급인 3급수를 만족할 수 없는 상태에 이르고 있다. 그래서 2002년 1월에 금강수계 물관리 및 주민지원 등에 관한 법률이 제정되었는 바, 오염총량제와 수변구역의 지정을 통한 수질보전 등을 주요한 내용으로 포함하고 있다. 오염총량제를 실천하기 위해서는 대청호의 환경용량을 추정하는 것이 필수 불가결하다. 환경용량의 추정은 장래 대청호 수질영향권역에서 개발사업이 이뤄질 때 환경영향평가 특히 누적영향평가를 위해 필요하다. 대청호의 환경용량을 추정하기 위해 오염부하량과 유량의 변화가 대청호의 총질소와 총인농도에 미치는 영향을 WASF5모형으로 분석하였다. 총질소 부하량이 50%증가한다고 가정했을때 갈수기. 명수기, 홍수기에 각각 0.14-0.29 mg/l, 0.12-0.16 mg/l and 0.03-0.05 mg/l 정도의 농도 변화가 예측되었다. 총질소 부하량이 지금의 반이하로 감소하더라도 총질소농도 5급수기준 (1.0-1.5 mg/l)을 달성할 수가 없다. 대청호의 환경용량을 상수원수 3급수기준으로 산정한다면, 그것은 현재의 총질소 부하량의 반보다 훨씬 적다고 추정할 수 있으며 따라서 총질소 부하량은 지금의 반이하로 줄어들어야 할 것이다. 총인 부하량이 50%증가한다고 가정했을 때 갈수기, 평수기, 홍수기에 각각 0.005-0.011 mg/l, 0.004-0.006 mg/l and 0.001-0.002 mg/l 정도의 농도 변화가 예측되었다. 총인 부하량이 지금의 반이하로 감소하더라도 총인 농도 4급수기준 (0.05-0.1 mg/l)을 간신히 달성할 수 있다. 따라서 대청호의 환경용량은 지금의 총인 부하량의 반정도로 추정할 수 있으며 총인 부하량은 지금의 반이하로 줄어들어야 할 것이다. 오염부하량을 줄이기 위한 방안을 정오염원과 비정오염원으로 나눠 제시하였고 오염총량제 실현방안을 제시하였다.

2012년부터 재생에너지 확대 정책을 위한 주요 정책 수단으로서 채택하고 있는 신재생에너지 공급의무화 제도(RPS)는 발전원별 경쟁을 유도함과 동시에 정부의 재정부담을 줄일 수 있다는 명백한 장점을 가지고 있지만, 높은 가중치 및 국가 공급인증서(REC) 남용 등으로 양적 통제정책으로서의 정책 왜곡을 초래하였다. 이는, REC 인플레이션과 그에 상응하는 MWh 단위의 실질 신재생에너지발전 실적 하락으로 이어졌고, 그 결과 RPS 기간 전체 신재생 의무이행량의 27.8%가 실제로는 충족되지 못했음을 본고에서 최초로 밝힌다. 뿐만 아니라 현재의 REC 가치왜곡은 인접제도라고 할 수 있는 RE100과 온실가스 배출권거래제와의 상호호환이 불가능해지게 하는 문제도 초래한다.

Enforcement Decree of the Framework Act on Low Carbon, Green Growth for achieving the country's GHG emission reduction goal of 30% was in effect. The remarkable content of the Act is the managements of targets for GHG reduction. So, the entities that have reduced voluntarily have much interest in the recognition of 'early action'. The recognition of early action is necessary to induce the fair competence of business entities and promote the voluntary GHG reduction. The definite and concrete guidance should be prepared. The important principles for this are the environmental integrity and the additionality. Based on this, the early action activities must be restricted to the voluntary, real, permanent, quantifiable, verifiable reduction. In the early action recognition, its credit should be allocated additionally set aside from the GHG target allocation in the national total allowance. Through this, the reward for the early reduction should be realized on market mechanism. The effective period to award the early action should be addressed. This can be the period after the enactment of framework on GHG reduction in effect and before the beginning year of GHG target control. It should be set with flexibility through the collection and consultation of the sector's opinions. The appropriate allowance reserve of early action was estimated as approximately 1~1.5% by using the data from the 'Pilot GHG Emission Trading Program' operated by Ministry of Environment. Also, the concrete and detail guidance to construct the necessary infra which is used to register the related information of early action activities should be prepared.
