The purpose of this research is to evaluate the odor exhaust characteristics of Sihwa and Banwol industrial complex during one year in 2007 by the automatic odor analyzer. As the continuous monitoring results on the 54 odor items, the highest average concentrations in two complexes were p-diethylbenzene, ammonia, toluene and methylethylketone. The items haven highest contribution rate in Sihwa and Banwol industrial complex were Dimethyl sulfide, i-Valerie acid, i-Valer aldehyde, Valerie acid, Trimethylamine and Etylmercaptan, Hydrogen sulfide, Dimethyl sulfide, Formaldehyde, Trimethylamine. When the odor concentrations converted into the total odor intensity, The percentages of hour data appeared over 3 degree of odor intensity were 0.5% (40 hr) in Sihwa station and 3.0% (210 hr) in Banwol station, respectively. Over 1 degree of odor intensity which is odor threshold value also were 68.3% in sihwa station and 82.5% in Banwol station, respectively. The highest monthly odor intensity was shown in January and February. Therefore, continuous monitoring system for odor compounds through the odor automatic station seems to be the most efficient method for investigating odor exhaust characteristics.

In order to validate the meteorological and odor dispersion modeling methods, the measured meteorological parameters such as wind speed and direction and odor intensities were compared with those calculated from the models. The CALMET and CALPUFF models which were recommended by USEPA were used to predict the meteorological variable and odor concentrations. The average time of odor concentration was 10 mins. to consider instantaneous response nature of the odors. The results showed that model predictions were in good agreement with the measurements. It is expected that the modeling method presented in this paper will be useful to assess the impact of odors from industrial complex to near-by residential areas.

The VOCs discharge characteristics of miscellaneous assembly metal manufacture & metal processing industries, in the SihwaㆍBanwol Industrial Complex, were analyzed according to detailed categories per industry, as based on the Korea Standard Industrial Classification, by comparing the conditions before and after the installation of process and prevention facilities. The average concentration of benzene was highest in the metal heat treatment industry (28921) whereas that of toluene was highest in the painting & membrane treatment industry (28923). In addition, with respect to prevention facilities, our evaluation proved that the decreased efficiency was worse for the discharge facilities of pollutants from the plating industry (28922) and painting & miscellaneous membrane treatment industry (28923), with some exceptions, while most facilities showed no decreased efficiency. Therefore, it is believed that an accurate survey of the conditions of administration/operation facilities will need to be conducted, and the decreased efficiency will also need to be evaluated so that adequate prevention facilities can be reviewed and selected.

본 연구에서는 악취민원이 빈발한 경기도 안산시에 위치한 반월공단의 주거지역과 공단지역 등을 중심으로 주요 관리대상으로 설정된 악취성분들에 대한 환경대기 중 농도분포 특성을 2년여 기간동안 6차례에 걸쳐 조사하였다. 이들의 거동을 이해하기 위해, 시간적(오전과 오후) 및 공간적(공단 내외부의 위치) 기준으로 분포특성에 대한 비교를 시도하였다. 그 결과, 오전시간대에 비해 오후시간대에 고농도 분포가 현저하게 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이와 유사하게 공간적인 기준으로 비교한 결과도 공단 내부에서 관측한 결과에서 대부분의 성분들이 고농도를 유지하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구의 결과는 안산시 주변 및 공단지역의 환경대기 중에 존재하는 악취성분들이 시간적 및 공간적 기준으로 다양한 분포특성을 취한다는 것을 보여주었다.
