  • 본 연구는 수질 및 수생태계 보전에 관한 법 53조2항에 해당하는 고속도로에서의 효과적인 비점오염관리를 위해 자동차 운행대수에 따른 고속도로의 강우유출 특성을 분석하여 비점오염 저감시설 설치 방안을 제공하고자 수행하였다. 연구대상지점은 총 5지점으로 경부, 서해안, 호남 및 통영대전 고속도로로 지점에 따라 2006~2008년과 2015년에 총 44회의 강우사상을 대상으로 모니터링을 수행하였다. 모니터링 결과, 평균 선행건기일수(ADD)는 6.2일, 평균 강우량은 19.2 mm로 조사되었다. 단위면적당 일평균 차량 통행량(ADT/CA)의 경우 경부고속도로 지점인 H-4에서 49.4대/$day{\cdot}m^2$으로 가장 높았으며 다른 지점의 경우 10대/$day{\cdot}m^2$미만으로 조사되었다. 조사대상 지점에서 발생되는 비점오염물질의 농도는 평균적으로 TSS는 63.5 mg/L, BOD는 24.9 mg/L, TN은 3.35 mg/L, TP는 0.63 mg/L, Total Zn은 298 ug/L로 국내에서 발표된 고속도로 관련 강우유출수 EMC 값보다 비교적 낮게 조사되었다. 한편, 조사대상지점의 오염물질 농도와 ADT/CA간의 상관관계 분석결과, SS에서 $R^2$값이 0.585로 가장 높은 상관성을 나타냈다. ADT/CA와 TSS EMC 와의 상관관계식을 통하여 국내 고속도로 평균 TSS EMC가 73.7 mg/L일 때 ADT/CA는 13 대/일${\cdot}m^2$으로 이를 기준으로 단위면적당 차량의 통행량이 13대보다 높을 경우 입자상 물질의 발생량이 높은 지역으로 고려, 비점오염관리가 필요한 지역으로 제시할 수 있으며 본 연구에서는 선행연구에서 제시된 ADT에 단위면적을 고려하였기에 기존에 수행되었던 연구보다 일반화된 단위로 활용도 및 적용성이 높을 것으로 판단된다.

  • To explore the sources of carbonaceous material in the airborne particulate matter (PM), comprehensive PM sampling was performed (3 to 14 January 2010) at a traffic hot spot site (HS), Farm Gate, Dhaka using several samplers: AirMetrics MiniVol (for $PM_{10}$ and $PM_{2.5}$) and MOUDI (for size fractionated submicron PM). Long-term PM data (April 2000 to March 2006 and April 2000 to March 2010 in two size fractions ($PM_{2.2}$ and $PM_{2.2-10}$) obtained from two air quality-monitoring stations, one at Farm Gate (HS) and another at a semi-residential (SR) area (Atomic Energy Centre, Dhaka Campus, (AECD)), respectively were also analyzed. The long-term PM trend shows that fine particulate matter concentrations have decreased over time as a result of government policy interventions even with increasing vehicles on the road. The ratio of $PM_{2.5}/PM_{10}$ showed that the average $PM_{2.5}$ mass was about 78% of the $PM_{10}$ mass. It was also found that about 63% of $PM_{2.5}$ mass is $PM_1$. The total contribution of BC to $PM_{2.5}$ is about 16% and showed a decreasing trend over the years. It was observed that $PM_1$ fractions contained the major amount of carbonaceous materials, which mainly originated from high temperature combustion process in the $PM_{2.5}$. From the IMPROVE TOR protocol carbon fraction analysis, it was observed that emissions from gasoline vehicles contributed to $PM_1$ given the high abundance of EC1 and OC2 and the contribution of diesel to $PM_1$ is minimal as indicated by the low abundance of OC1 and EC2. Source apportionment results also show that vehicular exhaust is the largest contributors to PM in Dhaka. There is also transported $PM_{2.2}$from regional sources. With the increasing economic activities and recent GDP growth, the number of vehicles and brick kilns has significantly increased in and around Dhaka. Further action will be required to further reduce PM-related air pollution in Dhaka.

  • With the increase of pesticide consumption, not only pesticide handling population would grow greater but also the chances to be exposed to the pesticides would be also increased. Thus, safe use and handling of the pesticides are becoming more important and serious in these days. The pesticides are well known to most pepole, however there are very limited number of persons who have correct understanding of chamicals. Intoxication cases caused by pesticides have been reported very rarely through the mess media, even they were lack of scientific evidences. In this paper, problems related to pesticide manufacture, transportation, storage, sprays, and residues and their countermeasures were discussed in connection with public health and enviromental aspects. Acute intoxication cases by pesticide handling might be caused accidently either through manufacture, marketing, transportation, or spraying. Safety aspects of workers in manufacturing plants include not only exposure to toxic chemicals, but also posibilities of of explosion and brought about by pesticides and their diluents. The problems of water pollution by waste chemicals from the manufacturing factories were discussed. Packing and loading methods of pesticides for transportation are considered in safety scheme and discussions are given in association with traffic accidents. With regard to warehouse, the pesticide storage, location structure, keepers, and standing materials for emergency are concerned with safety aspects. Concerning the spraying of chemicals, there are some problems to be discussed about clothes, spray equipment, wind direction, spray period, and spray workers condition. After the spray, treatment of used containers, remainder of Pesticides, and spray tools are also discussed. For the dissolutions of problems on public health and environmental danger arising from pesticide residues, there are two legal sanctions; 'Pesticide Tolerances' and 'Pesticide Safe Use Standards'. These regulations are legally effective, however, some problems still remain in practices to implement the acts properly, because these provisions are followed by the far mers mostly. With these regards, most problems are concerned with various sectors and persons, affecting public health and environment from the producers to the end users and consumers. As a whole persons concerned with pesticides, every possible effort has to be assembled to protect hazards from the chemicals. For the foremost place, special training and education are required for managing groups; such as factory managers and agricultural extension workers who are responsible for training the factory workers and farmers. The education is the only way to solve the hazard problems caused by the pesticides.

  • 국제해사기구(IMO)는 해상안전과 해상보안 및 해양오염방지를 달성하기 위해 조직된 유엔산하 전문기구로서 책임과 보상 및 국제 해상교통의 간소화를 포함한 법적문제도 다루고 있다. 그러나 우리나라는 IMO 관련 분야를 전문적으로 연구하는 조직이나 연구기관이 없어서 급변하는 해운환경에 능동적으로 대처하지 못하였고, 이에 대처할 수 있는 전문가의 부재로 막대한 경제적 손실을 입고 있었던 것이 사실이다. 하지만 2001년 제22차 IMO 총회에서 처음으로 주요해운국가그룹인 A그룹 이사국으로 선출되고 2003년 11월 제23차 IMO 총회에서 A그룹 이사국으로 재진출하는 쾌거를 이루면서, IMO 내에서의 역할 부담 빛 국제적 위상강화를 확고히 하고 있다. 이를 계기로 삼아 A그룹 이사국으로서의 위상을 확고히 지키기 위하여, 해운선진국이라 할 수 있는 미국, 영국 및 일본의 해사행정체계를 IMO 연구 및 대응체계와 더불어 살펴본다면, 향후 우리나라의 시스템을 정비하는데 도움이 되리라 생각된다. 이에 이 연구에서는 IMO가 주도하고 있는 해운$\cdot$조선산업에 대한 우리나라의 대응 방안 수립에 도움을 주고자 주요 해운선진국의 해사행정체계, 특히 IMO 연구 및 대응체계에 관한 각국의 자료를 수집하여 비교$\cdot$분석한다.

  • While several reproductive and lifestyle-related factors are already well-known as established risk factors for breast cancer, environmental factors have attracted attention only recently. The objective of the current study was to assess the association between the breast cancer incidences in females, the mortality rate and the number of motor vehicles on the one side and the consumption of gasoline which could work as a major source of air pollution at the other side. The breast cancer incidences and the mortality trends were compared with various indices of westernization like dietary patterns or industrialization with 10 years lag of time. Geographical variations with 10, 15 and 20 years lag of time were assessed between the breast cancer incidence in 2010 and the number of motor vehicles as well as the consumption of gasoline. The upward trend of motor vehicle numbers proved to be comparable to those of breast cancer incidence and mortality. However, the consumption of gasoline started to decrease since the mid-1990s. The geographic distribution of motor vehicle numbers and gasoline consumption in 1990 is in a positive correlation with the breast cancer incidence rates in 2010 and the 20-year lag time ($R^2$ 0.379 with the number of motor vehicles and 0.345 with consumption of gasoline). In a linear relationship between the breast cancer incidences in 2010 and the log transformed number of motor vehicles, the log transformed consumption of gasoline in 2000 also showed a positive relationship ($R^2$ 0.367 with the number of motor vehicles and 0.329 with consumption of gasoline). The results of the current study indicate that there may be a positive relation between the number of vehicles, gasoline consumption and the incidence of breast cancer from the aspects of long-term trends and geographical variation.
