부산 남항은 도심 속의 다기능 항만으로 공동어시장, 선박수리소, 연근해 및 원양어선 접안시설 등이 설치되어 산업 활동이 활발하다. 산업 활동으로 인해 발생한 유해화학물질이 해저퇴적물에 지속적으로 유입되어 축적되면 수생생태계와 인간에게 영향을 끼칠 수 있다. 따라서 부산 남항에서 2013년 11월(1차), 2014년 11월(2차)에 8개 정점을 선정하여, 해저퇴적물 중 다환방향족탄화수소류(PAHs), 폴리 염화비페닐(PCBs), 부틸계유기주석화합물(BTs)를 분석하여 부산 남항의 농도분포 특성 및 유입원을 밝혀내고자 하였다. 연구 지역에서 PAHs의 평균 농도는 1차, 2차 조사에서 각각 4174.0 ng/g-d.w., 1919.0 ng/g-d.w., PCBs의 평균 농도는 1차, 2차 조사에서 각각 166.3 ng/g-d.w., 21 ng/g-d.w.를 보였으며, BTs의 평균 농도는 1차, 2차 조사에서 각각 50.9 ng/g-d.w., 30.8 ng/g-d.w.를 나타내었다. 유기오염물질의 검출농도는 1차에 비해 2차에서 해저퇴적물 수거로 인해 낮아지는 경향을 보였으며, 본 조사에서 PAHs, PCBs, BTs 유입원은 각각 연소기원, 육상기원, 도시하수 또는 산업폐수에 의한 기원을 확인 할 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 하수처리유출수의 유기물 성상을 제어하기 위해 서로 다른 흡착제를 적용하여 역삼투막의 막오염 경향성을 관찰하였다. 실험실 규모에서 역삼투막 운전결과, 다중벽탄소나노튜브 (5%), 팽창흑연 (21%), 하수처리유출수(25%), 활성탄 (26%) 순서로 초기대비 투과수량이 감소하였다. 형성된 막오염 물질의 FEEM 분석결과, 활성탄의 경우 팽창흑연, 다중벽탄소나노튜브, 하수처리 유출수에 상대적으로 높은 미생물유래물질에 의한 막오염이 존재하였다. 더 나아가, 분자량 분석 결과를 통해 고분자 미생물유래물질(>15K Da)의 영향이 큰 것을 확인하였다. 결과적으로, 하수재이용공정에서 고분자 미생물유래물질이 역삼투막 효율저하의 주요한 역할을 하며, 이를 저감시키기 위한 방안마련이 필요하다고 판단되었다.

The aim of study was to investigate polluted amounts 16 PAHs in railroad(waste railway ties) area, factory area and land-fill area. All of the samples were analyzed by GC-MSD(SIM mode), and the recovery range, detection limit and standard deviation obtained by this experiment were 73.88 ~ 94.75%, 0.009 ~ 2.252 μg/kg and 1.861 ~ 12.373, respectively. The concentrations of total PAHs(t-PAHs) and total carcinogenic PAHs(t-PAHcarc) in soils of three area were in the range of 12.54 ~ 3274.95 μg/kg on a wet weight basis with a mean value of 499.8 μg/kg and 0 ~122.77 μg/kg with a mean value of 20.16 μg/kg, respectively. The correlation between t-PAHs and t-PAHcarc appeared very high in railroad(waste railway ties) area (R2 = 0.8301), factory area (R2 = 0.9217) except land-fill area(R2 = 0.3782), indicated that t-PAHcarc concentration increases in proportion with t-PAHs.

This study investigated the use of a hydroxyl-radicals-generated microbubble/catalyst (MB/Cat) system for removing organic pollutants, nitrogen, and phosphorous from liquid fertilizer produced by livestock wastewater treatment. Use of the MB/Cat system aims to improve the quality of liquid fertilizer by removing pollutants originally found in the wastewater. In addition, a reduction effect has been reported for antibiotics classified as representative non-biodegradable matter. Samples of liquid fertilizer produced by an aerobic biological reactor for swine wastewater treatment were first analyzed for initial concentrations of pollutants and antibiotics. When the MB/Cat system was applied to the liquid fertilizer, TCOD, TOC, BOD5, and NH3-N, and PO4-P removal efficiencies were found to be approximately 52%, 51%, 30%, 21%, and 66%, respectively. Additionally, Amoxicillin hydrate was removed by 10%, and Chlortetracycline HCl and Florfenicol were not present at detectable levels These findings confirm that the MB/Cat system can be used with livestock wastewater treatment to improve liquid fertilizer quality and to process wastewater that is safe for agricultural re-use.

As a result of analysis based on the observed data for BOD, COD and TOC in order to manage non-biodegradable organics in the Geumho River, COD/BOD ratio was analyzed as the occupying predominance proportion. In this study, the classification(changes in water quality measurement : increase, equal, decrease) and measurement of BOD and COD were analyzed for trends over the past 10 years from 2005 to 2014 in the Geumho River. The Geumho River is expected to need non-biodegradable organics management because BOD was found to be reduced 61.1% and COD was found to be increased 50%. As a result of the analysis of land use, the Geumho-A is a unit watershed area of 921.13 km2, which is the most common area that is occupied by forests. The Geumho-B is a unit watershed area of 436.8 km2, which is the area that is highest occupied by agriculture and grass of 24.84%. The Geumho-C is a unit watershed area of 704.56 km2 accounted for 40.29% of the entire watershed, which is the area that is occupied by urban of 15.12%. Load of non-biodegradable organics, which is not easy biodegradable according to the discharge, appeared to be increased because flow coefficient of COD and TOC at the Geumho-B were estimated larger than 1 value. The management of non-point sources of agricultural land is required because the Geumho-B watershed area occupied by the high proportion of agriculture and field. In this segment it showed to increase the organics that biodegradation is difficult because the ratio of BOD and TOC was decreased rapidly from GR7 to GR8. Thus, countermeasures will be required for this.

The purpose of the study was to analyze the persistence of HCH in atmosphere, soil, sediment and waterof the western and southern regions of Korea. The samples from the western region were collected from Anmyeon Island, and the samples from the southern region were collected from Kimhae and Busan. The concentration of HCH isomers in atmosphere showed the pattern of α-HCH>γ-HCH>ß-HCH. The regions with high HCH concentration in the atmosphere are the regions that have been highly exposed to HCH used in the past, and the areas that have been influenced by the long range transport. The HCH that persists in the soil, water and sediment evaporates into the atmosphere, showing the characteristics of Air-Surface exchange. When the regional concentration distributions arecompared, the concentration of HCH was higher in the atmosphere of a plain and the cities near the plain, than the urban areas. In this study, the ratio of α/γ-HCH was used as an indicator for estimating the source of Technical HCH and Lindane. According to the result, the contribution of Lindane was high in Kimhae plain and Kimhae urban areas. However, in Busan, the contribution of Technical HCH was higher than Lindane. In case of Anmyeon Island, the western region of Korea had high contribution from Tehcnical HCH. In soil and sediment, ß-HCH was dominant. In water, γ-HCH was dominant among other isomers. Such results are due to γ-HCH inLindane. Furthermore, the source of γ-HCH in urban areas is assumed to be the use of medicine, medical supplies and other living supplies. Based on the results of this study, the management of HCH, a newly list up emerging POPs, should be strengthened by further research on sources, fate, persistency, accumulation and exposures and etc. to the risk assessments.

In this study, we try to determine the distributive property in southwest coastal waters, such as Kwang-yang bay, Ka-mak bay, Yeo-ja bay, Wan-do, Hea-nam, Young-gwang, and Mok-po, using simultaneous analytical method of 310 chemicals. The results were detected tens of the organic pollutants in sampling sites, and the major chemicals detected were CH type chemicals such as aliphatic, polycyclic compounds and were CHN(O) type chemicals such as aromatic amines, nitro compounds. In particular, pesticides were mainly detected in summer, phenols and phthalate esters were not seasonal effect. Also, a number of aromatic chemicals were detected in Kwang-yang bay. From the results of this study, we confirmed that it is mainly contaminated in summer and the pesticide chemicals are the major pollutants in southwest coastal waters.
