PURPOSES: The purpose of this study is to research the influence of road traffic noise by road slope through the analysis of the field road traffic noise and determine consideration of road slope in the case of appling active noise cancellation. METHODS: This study measures vehicle's noise by the NCPX method at the three field sections such as uphill, downhill, and flatland. Total sound pressure and sound pressure level by the 1/3 octave band frequency are calculated through the raw field data. Total sound pressure level is compared by ANOVA test and T test statistically. The results obtained are compared in accordance with the road slope and the progress of the uphill section. RESULTS : The noise characteristic of early, medium, and last parts of uphill was found to be consistent when the vehicle was travelling uphill section. The result of statistical test, it was shown that total sound pressures are not different each other. According to the comparison by the geometry, sound pressure of the uphill section was higher than those of the flatland and downhill section in high frequency band. By the result of statistical test, total sound pressure are different according to geometry in the case of high vehicle speed. In the comparison result by road slope, each sound pressure level was found to be consistent in total frequency. However, total sound pressure proportionally increased according to road slope. CONCLUSIONS: It is found that the effect of road slope on noise generation was little in this experimental sites.

갯벌의 오염물질 정화능력 평가를 위한 기초조사로서 환경적 특성이 다른 3지점 갯벌을 채취하여 수직적인 물리, 화학적 특성을 조사하였다. 갯벌의 입도특성을 보면, 금강하구에 위치한 어은리 갯벌의 니질 함량이 98.89%를 보인 반면 충남 서천에 위치한 춘장대갯벌은 모래함량 97.99%를 나타내었다. 새만금지구 내 위치한 계화도 갯벌은 니질 32.81%, 사질 67.19%로 나타나났다. 갯벌의 화학적인 특성은 니질 함량이 높은 어은리 갯벌에서 유기물 관련인자(IL, COD, POC)가 다른 두 갯벌 보다 3∼4배 높았으며, 각 지점에서 층별 농도 분포는 아래로 갈수록 약간 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 상관분석 결과 중 갯벌의 유기오염물질과 관련 있는 인자인 I.L., COD 및 POC, PON 사이에는 0.821∼0.940의 높은 상관성이 있었다. 또한 pH는 COD, PON 및 POC와 0.9 이상의 높은 상관성을 나타냈다. 갯벌의 층별 투수실험 결과 춘장대 갯벌은 평균 투수 계수가 0.01584㎝/s로서 투수량이 18.66ml/min이었다. 하지만 어은리 및 계화도 갯벌은 거의 투수되지 않았다.
