본 연구에서는 중금속 오염토양 및 광미의 고형화 처리를 위한 보통 포틀랜드 시멘트의 혼화재로서 제강슬래그의 처리효과를 검토하였다. 대상시료는 충청남도 청양군 남양면 구룡리의 구봉광산 주변 하천퇴적토와 강원도 영월군 상동읍 내덕리의 상동광산에 위치한 광미를 채취하여 사용하였다. 경화제는 시멘트 95%에 제강슬래그 분말 5%를 혼합하여 제조하였으며, 하천퇴적토 및 광미오염토양에 5%, 10% 및 15%(w/w)의 경화제를 첨가하였다. 이때 이 결과들은 시멘트만을 사용한 것과 Ca 함량이 제강슬래그 보다 상대적으로 높은 굴폐각 분말을 사용하여 배합한 결과와 함께 비교하였다. 공시체는 지름 5cm, 높이 10 cm의 몰드를 이용하여 혼합토를 채워 넣은 후, 습윤양생기에서 1일간 양생시킨 다음 탈형 후, 수조에 수중양생을 실시하였다. 7일, 14일 및 28일 경과된 시료를 대상으로 강도시험 및 중금속 용출시험을 실시하여 처리효과를 비교·검토하였다. 광미시료의 경우, 시멘트, 제강슬래그 그리고 굴폐각 순으로 강도 개선의 효과가 큰 것으로 나타나 제강슬래그의 효과를 확인할 수 없었고, 하천퇴적토의 경우는 혼합비 15%에서 제강슬래그를 혼합한 경우에서 우수한 효과를 나타내 혼화재로서 적용을 기대할 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다. 폐기물용출시험 및 0.1 N 염산추출법 결과 경화제의 혼합비가 증가할수록 중금속 및 비소의 농도가 감소하는 경향이 나타났고 특히 비소에 있어서는 제강슬래그의 효과가 가장 좋게 나타났다. 산도가 가장 높은 1N 염산추출법의 결과에서는 광미의 경우 대조구 보다 제강슬래그로 처리한 시료에서 중금속 및 비소의 농도가 아주 낮게 나타났다. 그러나 하천퇴적토는 대조구와 큰 차이가 없이 중금속 및 비소가 용출되었다. 이는 하천퇴적토가 95%이상의 모래로 토양의 입경이 크기 때문에 상대적으로 중금속의 고정화율이 상대적으로 낮은 것으로 판단되었다.

유사발생 잠재성 및 토양침식으로 인한 유사발생 위험성이 높은 것으로 평가된 내성천유역을 대상으로 강우-유출-토양침식-유사이송으로 이어지는 유역단위의 분포형 모형을 구축하였으며 유출과 유사농도 모의 결과에 주요한 영향을 미치는 조도계수 및 투수계수의 민감도 분석을 실시하였다. 모의결과, 내성천유역의 토지 피복이 숲인 지역의 조도계수를 0.4에서 0.45로 변경하여 지표수 유출 유속을 감소시킴으로써 향석 지점에서의 유출곡선에 미치는 영향을 분석하였으나 유출수문곡선의 변화에 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났으며 평균 유사농도 값과 유사농도의 범위에 있어서도 모의 결과가 근소하게 증가하나 유의한 변화는 없는 것으로 나타났다. 투수계수에 대한 민감도 분석 결과, 투수계수 값을 저감 시킬수록 총 유출량 및 첨두 유출량은 점차 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 유사농도 모의의 경우에도 투수계수를 저감시킬수록 모든 지점에서 평균 유사농도 및 유량에 따른 유사농도 범위가 증가하였으며, 향석 지점의 경우 투수계수를 50% 저감하였을 때 유사 농도 모의 값이 유량-유사량 관계식에 의해 계산된 값과 가장 근사한 것으로 나타났다.

Jeju island, which is located along the moving path of typhoon, suffers from flooding and overflow by torrential rain. So abrupt runoff occurring, damages of downstream farm field and shore culturing farms are increasing. In this study, Oaedo stream, one of the mountainous streams on Jeju island, was selected as the basin of study subject and was classified into 3 sub-basins, and after the characteristics of subject basin, the soil erosion amount and the sediment delivery of the stream by land usage distribution were estimated with the use of SATEEC ArcView GIS, the sediment yield amount of 2000 and 2005 was analyzed comparatively. As a result of estimating the sediment yield amount of 2000, the three sub-basins were respectively 12,572.7, 14,080 and 157,761 tons/year. and sediment yield amounts were estimated as 35,172.9, 5,266 and 258,535 tons/year respectively in 2005. The soil erosion and sediment yield amount of 2005 using single storm rainfall were estimated high compared with 2000, but for sub-basin 2, the values rather decreased due to changes in land use, and the land coverage of 2005, since there are many classifications of land usage compared with 2000, enabling to reflect more accurate land usage condition, could deduce appropriate results. It is anticipated that such study results can be utilized as basic data to propose a direction to predict the amount of sediment yield that causes secondary flooding damage and deteriorates water quality within detention pond and grit chamber, and take action against damages in the downstream farm field and shore culturing farms.

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.

We investigated concentrations of heavy metals(Cr, Cd, Zn, Fe, Pb, Cu, and Mn) and correlations between concentrations of heavy metals in the sediment, soil, weeds, and vegetables on the lower Nakdong river. Concentrations of heavy metals on the lower Milyang river was generally lower than those of other sampling area. In the soil, concentration of Pb is generally larger than that of other heavy metals. Generally, concentrations of heavy metals in the sediment show decreasing tendency as the sampling area moves toward downstream of the river, but those of in the soil and weeds show increasing tendency. There is no significant correlation between concentration of heavy metals in the soil-sediment, soil-vegetables, sediment-weeds, or vegetables-weeds. Only concentrations of Pb in the vegetables and those of in the weeds show very high correlation.

This study was performed to evaluate the contents of heavy metals in water, sediment and soil of the 7 different sampling points along the West Nakdong river. The results were as follows: the concentrations of Zn, P, Pb, Cd, Mn, Cu and As in the sediment were 197.48, 551.85, 67.01, 2.54, 491.39, 42.95 and 10.52ppm,respectively. The concentrations of Zn, F, Pb, Cd, Mn, Cu and As in the soil was 83.32, 482.89, 17.15, 1.02, 226.02, 26.15 and 7.29ppm, respectively, The concentration ratios of heavy metals in the water to the sediment were 593 - 12700 (Cd >> Cu > Zn > Mn > As > Pb) and that of the water to the soil were 152 - 5100 (Cu > Cd > Zn > Mn > As >Pb). The correlation coefficients of Cu and Pb were high among the water, sediment and soil. Because the accumulation amounts of heavy metal in the sediment were high, the concentration of heavy metals in the sediment was higher than in soil. The correlation coefficient of heavy metals among water, sediment and soil was high (0.79 - 0.95).
