Until comparatively lately, the annual time series of the SO2 concentration had been shown in a decreasing trend in Ulsan as well as other Korean cities. However, the high concentration of SO2 was frequently found in the specific countermeasure region including the national industrial complex such as Mipo and Onsan in the Ulsan city for the period of 2001∼2004. There are many conditions that can influence the high concentration of SO2 at monitoring sites in Ulsan, such as: First, annual usage of the fuel including sulfur increased in comparison with the year before in spite of the fuel conversion policy which wants to use low sulfur oil less than 3% and LNG. Second, point source, such as the power plants and the petroleum and chemistry stacks, was the biggest contributor in SO2 emission, as a analyzed result of both the air quality modeling and the stack tele-monitoring system (TMS) data. And third, the air pollutants that occurred in processes of burning and manufacturing of the fuel including sulfur were transported slow into a special monitoring site by accumulating along the frontal area of see-breeze. It was concluded that Ulsan's current environmental policy together with control methods should be changed into the regulation on total amount of emission, including a market-based emission trading with calculating of atmospheric environmental critical loads, for the SO2 reduction like the specific countermeasure for the O3 and PM10 reduction in the Seoul metropolitan area. And this change should be started in the big point sources of 1∼3 species because they are big contributors of Ulsan's SO2 pollution. Especially it is necessary to revitalize of the self-regulation environmental management. Other control methods for sustaining the SO2 reduction are as follows: maintenance of the fuel conversion policy, reinforcement of the regional stationary source emission standard, and enlargement of the stack TMS.

항만 및 해안구조물의 설계시 사용되는 천해역에서의 파랑장 계산은 내륙 관측소의 바람자료를 이용하거나 심해파 추산모형에 의하여 추출된 심해파제원을 사용하는 것이 일반적이다. 그러나 전자의 경우는 관측소가 대부분 내륙에 위치하여 파랑발달을 모의하기 위한 정확한 바람자료를 얻기란 매우 어렵다. 또한, 후자의 경우는 아주 넓은 영역에서 큰 격자크기로 계산이 이루어지기 때문에 연안 및 천해역 지형을 상세히 재현하지 못하므로 임의의 정점에 대한 정확한 정보를 파악하기도 어렵다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 우리나라 동남부 해역의 태풍 ‘매미’ 내습시의 파랑 관측자료를 사용하여 천해역에서의 파랑장 계산을 수행하였다. 또한, 계산된 파랑장의 정확도를 확인하기 위하여 울산해역 인근의 파고 및 파향 관측결과를 비교 검토하였다. 울산해역에 대한 파고분포 산출결과, 관측정점에서 파고는 ±1.3%의 차이를 보여 기존의 방법 보다 높은 정확도를 보이는 것으로 나타났다.

This study was focused on estimating instream flow, and its optimal alternative for securing the required total amount of instream flow was also researched in order to restore ecosystems and riverine aesthetics of the Mugeo Stream, the first tributary of the Taewha River flowing through the center of Ulsan. In this study the hydraulic and hydrologic conditions and water quality were investigated at specific channel reaches and representative stations of the Mugeo Stream to determine a proper estimate of instream flow. And riverine functions, such as the minimum flow, water quality conservation, fish habitat, and recreation, were considered to restore the environmental functions of the stream. As a result, the total amount of 11,500㎥/day was set as the target instream flow for the Mugeo Stream. It was chosen as the optimal alternative for securing the total external supply of 10,000㎥/day which have to be transfered from the riverbed flow diverted through the Taewha Main river at upstream of Samho bridge. The water quality throughout the Mugeo Stream channels will be improved considerably to 3-4 mg/l of BOD standard if the target instream flow is supplied and sewage is intercepted by the sanitary sewage system.

The high surface area polymer, AquaMatsⓇ was used for the leachate purification process originated from the Samsan Dong Landfill in Ulsan Metropolitan City. And then, three species of dominant microbes were isolated and identified from AquaMatsⓇ. Gram staining revealed these microbes to be Gram-negative rod strains: They were identified as Agrobacterium radiobacter, Pseudomonas cepacia, Flavobacterium indologenes. All they showed no growth on media in which the leachate was added alone, but a rapid proliferation rate on media with yeast extract as nutrient requirements.

국내에서 산출하는 사문석은 산업원료자원으로 활용되는 있는 주요한 원료광물 중 하나이다. 국내 사문암은 초염기성암의 열수변질산물로 해석되어 왔으며, 울산 철광상지역, 경북 안동지역, 충남홍성-청양지역 및 경기 가평지역에서 산출하고 있다. 이 연구에서는 울산 철광상 일대에 분포하는 사문암에 대해 주로 야외에서의 산출상태, 광물학적 연구 및 화학성분분석을 통하여 석회암, 철광화작용 및 사문석변질작용의 관련성에 대한 해석이 시도되었다. 울산지역 사문암은 초염기성암인 페리도 타이트를 구성하는 감람석이나 휘석의 수화작용에 의해 사문석을 형성시키고, 이 사문석이 다시 변질되어 활석을 형성시킨다. 이러한 변질을 초래시키는 열수유체는 백악기 화강암 관입에 의해 도입되었을 가능성이 가장 높으며, 천수의 혼화에 의해 보다 많은 양의 유체가 공급된 열수순환계에 의해 열수변질작용을 초래 시킨 것으로 해석된다. 변질암들의 SiO2, Fe2O3, MgO 등 일부 주성분원소의 변화는 사문석화작용, 활석화작용 및 철광화작용의 변질세기에 주로 지배되고 있다. 그러나 Al2O3와 CaO의 함량범위는 변질되지 않고 잔존된 방해석 및 각섬석이나 변질광물인 녹니석 등 광물의 함량비에 더욱 더 지배된다. 탄산염암의 존재는 해성퇴적기원(천해성 석회암)이든 화성기원(카보너타이트)이든 간에 스카른형 철광상을 형성시킬 수 있는 지질학적인 환경을 제공 한 것으로 보인다. 지질 및 구성 광물의 공생관계로 보아 탄산염암의 형성→백악기 화강암 정치→사문석변질작용 → 철광화작용의 순으로 형성되었을 것으로 판단된다.

울산단층 동쪽 지괴에 발달한 제4기 단층인 개곡1, 개곡2, 신계, 마동, 원원사, 진현단층을 대상으로 X선회절분석(XRD), 전자현미분석(EPMA), 후방산란전자영상분석(BSE), K-Ar연대측정법을 이용하여 단층비지의 광물조성과 미세조직의 특징을 연구하였다. 단층비지내 변질광물들은 단층운동에 수반된 열수변질작용으로 형성되었다. 28.9Ma~44.3Ma 범위의 연대를 나타내는 단층비지는 주로 점토광물, 석영, 장석으로 구성된다. 점토광물은 스멕타이트가 주구성 광물이고 소량으로 녹니석, 일라이트 및 카올리나이트가 산출된다. 접촉부 모암과 단층 비지대에서는 단층작용과 관련된 열수작용에 의해 광물의 변질작용의 흔적이 쉽게 인지되고, 주입비지와 절단된 방해석맥 등과 같이 단층작용이 반복된 증거를 볼 때 단층비지대는 다중변형작용의 산물임을 알 수 있다. 녹색 내지 녹회색 계통인 진현단층의 비지의 경우 적색계통의 다른 단층비지에 비해 Al2O3의 함량이 높고, MgO와 CaO의 함량은 낮다. 스멕타이트의 화학분석 결과, 단층비지의 색은 기질을 구성하는 점토광물의 종류와 화학적 조성과도 밀접한 관계를 가진다.

The aim of this study was to analyze the local distribution of the heavy metal concentration in Daegu and Ulsan which were divided into the residual areas, the traffic dense areas and the industrial areas. The Inductively Coupled Plasma(ICP) was used to analyze heavy metals, such as As, Cr, Hg, Zn, Cd, Pb, Cu and minor metals, such as Fe, Si, Mg, Ca, Al, Na, K. The results of this analysis showed that the content of heavy metals which was classified by districts in Daegu and Ulsan was the highest in the industrial areas followed by the traffic dense areas and the residual areas. Compared to the level of heavy metals of national and local soil survey network in 2003, contamination of heavy metals in Daegu was lower than national average. However, the content of Cd, As, Zn in Ulsan was respectively 13.38 times, 472 times and 2.65 times higher than national average contamination. In addition, compared to the soil pollution level of the environmental protection law, contamination of all areas in Daegu was lower. But the content of As at the industrial areas in Ulsan was 10.71 times higher than standard of soil pollution and 4.28 times higher than standard of measures against soil contamination.

This study presents the characteristics of nocturnal inversion layer and their effect on the concentration variations of surface air pollutants using tethersonde and automatic weather station (AWS, 2 layer tower) system in Ulsan during 2003. The method for the distinction of inversion intensity was decided based on the sum of nocturnal temperature gradient. As the results, there was a close correlation (correlation coefficient of 0.76) between the maximum inversion height obtained from tethersonde and the sum of nocturnal temperature gradient. The air pollutant concentration was also directly proportional to the inversion intensity. When the inversion intensity was strong in the nighttime, ozone (O3) concentration was lower, while nitrogen dioxide (NO2) concentration was higher. The carbon monoxide (CO) concentration was gradually higher according to the nocturnal inversion intensity, whereas sulfur dioxide (SO2) concentration was relatively constant. In addition, we found that there was no correlation between the inversion intensity and TSP concentration.

본 연구는 최근의 연안역 개발 사업 이전에 선행되어야 하는 물리학적 변화요인들( 파랑변형과 주변해역의 해양 환경적 변화 요인 등)에 대한 연구에 그 목적이 있다. 이러한 관점에서 울산 신항과 같은 연안역에서의 DELFT-3D: WAVE(SWAN)을 이용하여 대상 해역의 파랑특성을 파악했다, 파랑특성 파악을 위해서 다방향 불규칙파의 굴절 및 천수변형을 동시에 풀 수 있는 에너지 평형 방정식을 사용한 수치모델인 SWAN 모델에 대해 연구하였다. 이러한 과정을 통해서 울산 신항 주변 해역의 불규칙 파랑특성을 파악했다. 파랑특성 파악의 가상 좋은 방법은 현장 파고계를 설치하여 장기간에 걸쳐 파랑을 직접 관찰하는 것이다. 그러나 광범위한 지역에 대한 파랑특성 파악에는 어려움이 있어서 이에 대한 대안으로 수치모텔인 DELFT-3D; WAVE를 이용해서 불규칙 파랑특성을 파악했다.

Surface sediments (0~4 cm) were sampled at 40 stations from Ulsan Bay and its adjacent areas of Korea, to evaluate the contamination by sewage-derived organic matters using fecal sterols. Some sterols were quantified by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Total concentrations of eight sterols (coprostanol, cholesterol, cholestanol, epicholestanol, epicoprostanol, β-sitosterol, brassicasterol, and stigmasterol) in the sediments from Ulsan Bay and its vicinity varied from 929 to 23,444 ng/g dry weight. The most predominant sterols were cholesterol and coprostanol, accounting for 33~72% of total sterols. The concentration of coprostanol known as the indicator of human feces ranged from 141 to 8,257 ng/g dry weight. In particular, the coprostanol concentrations in the sediments from Jansaengpo Harbor and Taehwa River exceeded the value of 1,000 ng/g dry weight, suggesting that these areas could be considered as the hot-spot zones by municipal sewage contamination. Some molecular indices and multivariate data analysis were used to assess the origin of these sterols in the sediments. Results showed that the major routes of sewage contamination in Ulsan Bay and its vicinity were the input through Jansaengpo Harbor and Taehwa River.

Introduction of wave model, considered the effect of shoaling, refraction, diffraction, partial reflection, bottom friction, breaking at the coastal waters of complex bathymetry, is a very important factor for most coastal engineering design and disaster prevention problems. As waves move from deeper waters to shallow coastal waters, the fundamental wave parameters will change and the wave energy is redistributed along wave crests due to the depth variation, the presence of islands, coastal protection structures, irregularities of the enclosing shore boundaries, and other geological features. Moreover, waves undergo severe change inside the surf zone where wave breaking occurs and in the regions where reflected waves from coastline and structural boundaries interact with the incident waves. Therefore, the application of mild-slope equation model in this field would help for understanding of wave transformation mechanism where many other models could not deal with up to now. The purpose of this study is to form a extended mild-slope equation wave model and make comparison and analysis on variation of harbor responses in the vicinities of Ulsan Harbor and Ulsan New Port, etc. due to construction of New Port in Ulsan Bay. We also considered the increase of water depth at the entrance channel by dredging work up to 15 meters depth in order to see the dredging effect. Among several model analyses, the nonlinear and breaking wave conditions are showed the most applicable results. This type of trial might be a milestone for port development in macro scale, where the induced impact analysis in the existing port due to the development could be easily neglected

The urban pollution if affected by local environmental, so it is necessary to consider area characteristics such as emission source and meteorological phenomena, in studying urban air pollution. Ulsan is laocated on south-east coast and has many industrial facilities, so many people have concerned about air pollution. This study contain conducting numerical simulation of air pollutant concentration considered land and sea breeze in Ulsan area with the numerical model.

This study was conducted to find the structure of phytoplankton community in the Hoeya river(Ulsan) from March 2000 to February 2001. The taxa of phytoplankton identified included 135 species, 5 divisions, 33 families and 82 genera. Among them, chrysophyta(diatoms) were 63 species(46.7%), chlorophyta(green algae) 47 species(34.8%), pyrrophyta(dinoflagellates) 13 species(9.6%), cyanophyta (cyanobacteria) 8 species(5.9%) and euglenophyta(euglenoids) 4 species(3.0%) respectively. Ecological important species is called frequently appearing species, red tide causative species, seawater species and pollution indicator. 22 species including Aulacoseira granulata were recorded frequently appearing species. 19 species including Ceratium furca were recorded as red tide causing species. And the pollution indicators were 33 species including Actinastrum hantzschii var. fluviatile. The highest standing crops were 3,103,441 cells/ℓ in August at the RW-1 and the lowest 1,245 cells/ℓ in January at the RW-5. In the community analysis, the dominanance indices ranged from 0.34(October, RW-2) to 0.94(January, RW-1) and the diversity indices from 0.50(May, RW-2) to 2.57(September, RW-2). The saprobic indices were 2.43 in RW-1, 2.41 in RW-2, 2.375 in RW-3, 2.40 in RW-4, 2.43, in RW-5. Therefore, these areas were investigated “β-mesosaprobic”. According to the similarity index among the stations, these areas were defined as residential district areas(RW-2 and RW-3), lower part of the dam (RW-1) and seawater areas(RW-4 and RW-5).

One hundred and thirty two ground water samples from the Ulsan area were divided into urban and non-urban groupings and were assessed between 1993 and 1996. The results of statistical analysis were as follows: There were significant differences between the two groupings in the average value of the following water quality parameters: total hardness, nitrate, pH, iron, ammonia and chloride ion in the order of Z-score. Because total hardness, nitrate, and pH were also significant in ANOVA test, these three parameters can be regarded as the most sensitive parameters of artificial pollutants. By the comprehensive comparison of Ulsan water quality to that of Kangwon-do, all of the major parameters(pH, KMnO_4 consumption, sulfate, chloride and hardness except nitrate) were confirmed as being significantly increased levels.

In this research, two stochastic models are considered to detect and estimate the effect of air temperature change due to industrialization in Ulsan area. Using the monthly mean minimum air temperature anomalies, the data are divided into pre-industrialization part and industrialization one for analysis. The ARMA(autoregressive moving-average) model and intervention model have been applied to the data for the analysis. The results show that the variability of minimum temperature anomalies are very significant in 1989, and also significant in 1971 when the industrialization have started. Therefore, it is stochastically possible to estimate the time when the affection of increase of the temperature concerning industrialization to climate change in Ulsan area has happened.

We examined whether several reeds, which are found around Ulsan area, could be used for downflow reed-bed to remove pollutants of sewage. Three kinds of reed, such as Phagmites australis, Typha orientalls, and Phalaris aundinacea L., were collected from their habitats near the Taehwa River in Ulsan City. In the minimized model system of downflow reed-bed, P. australis appeared to reduce BOD more than others did but slightly increase total amount of nitrogen(N). When P. australis were placed in the sterilized water, total nitrogen was found to be significantly increased dependent on the number of experimental plant in the sterilized state, but it was rather decreased in the non-sterilized state. With these results, microorganisms attached to P.australis roots can be thought to work for removal of pollutants. Therefore, these microorganisms and their habitat, P. australis reed bed, together can be used for sewage treatment. It was suggested that oxygen is produced by photosynthesis reaction of P. austrails. The increased oxygen may help microorganisms in their habitats to work on the removal of pollutants

The present study was performed to elucidate the distribution of protozoans according to the actual conditions of soil pollution around Ulsan industrial complexes, Korea. Samples were collected from the top-soils of 13 localities in eight times during the period from 16 April 1994 to 14 January 1995. As a result of this study, total 11 species of hypotrichous ciliated protozoa were identified and analyzed. These hypotrichs are 6 species of stichotrichine hyporichs (Keronopsis sp., Pseudourostyla sp., Holosticha sylvatica, Holosticha multistylata, Holosticha sp. and Paruroleptus sp.) and 5 species of sporadotrichine hypotrichs (Oxytricha sp., Steinia sp., Histriculus cavicola, Hemisincirra sp. and Gonostomum of affine). Of these 11 species, 4 species (Keronopsis sp., Pseudourostyla sp., Holosticha sp. and Hemisincirra sp.) are reported for the first time from Korea. All the sampling localities could be grouped in three zones by the cluster analysis with the abundance and distribution of protozoans. This result is approximately coincide with the zonation by the concentration of heavy metals.
