본 연구에서는 자동차배출화학물질 중 발암성 및 돌연변이 유발 물질인 PAHs (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons)의 다매체 간 거동 모델링, 농도 분포, 그리고 영향평가를 수행하였다. S시의 차량 통계와 PAHs의 배출계수를 이용하여 PAHs의 배출량을 산정하였고, 도시의 불투수면적에서 대기-토양의 물질이동 제한조건을 바탕으로 다매체 퓨가시티 모델링을 수행하였다. 다매체 퓨가시티 모델을 이용하여 정상상태에서 환경 매체내 PAHs의 농도 분포를 예측하고(Level III), 각 모델 변수에 대하여 몬테카를로 민감도 분석을 바탕으로 비정상상태에서 환경 매체내 PAHs 잔류량 및 매체 간 물질 이동으로 인한 매체별 농도분포와 위해성 평가를 수행하였다(Level IV). S시의 경우 배출된 PAHs중 Fluoranthene이 네 가지 환경 매체(대기, 수계, 토양, 침전물)에서 모두 가장 높은 잔류농도(60.0%, 53.5%, 32.0%, 33.6%)를 보였으며 침전물에서 가장 높은 농도(80%이상)로 잔류하였다. 34년 동안 S시 환경 매체 중의 PAHs 농도 변화 분석 결과, 모든 환경 매체에서 PAHs 잔류량은 1983년부터 2005년까지 증가하였고, 이후 2016년까지 감소한 것을 확인하였으며, 각각 환경매체에서 트럭을 포함한 중량차량(Heavy Duty Vehicles, HDVs) 배출가스의 PAHs 농도 기여도가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 매체 별 PAHs 농도는 토양과 수계에서 34년간 기준치보다 작은 값을 보였으나, 대기중 PAHs농도는 권고치를 초과하는 농도값을 보였다. 본 연구 결과를 통해 지난 30여년 동안 대도시 자동차 배출 화학물질인 PAHs의 환경 중 거동 및 위해성을 평가를 통하여 PAH물질 관리 및 규제의 필요성을 제시하고, 다양한 환경 매체 내 독성화학물질 관리 및 모니터링에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. This study was carried out to research the multimedia fate modeling, concentration distribution and impact assessment of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) emitted from automobiles, which are known as carcinogenic and mutation chemicals. The amount of emissions of PAHs was determined based on the census data of automobiles at a target S-city and emission factors of PAHs, where multimedia fugacity modeling was conducted by the restriction of PAHs transfer between air-soil at the impervious area. PAHs' Concentrations and their distributions at several environmental media were predicted by multimedia fugacity model (level III). The residual amounts and the distributions of PAHs through mass transfer of PAHs between environment media were used to assess the health risk of PAHs at unsteady state (level IV), where the sensitivity analyses of the model parameter of each variable were conducted based on Monte Carlo simulation. The experimental result at S-city showed that Fluoranthene among PAHs substances are the highest residual concentrations (60%, 53%, 32% and 34%) at all mediums (atmospheric, water, soil, sediment), respectively, where most of the PAHs were highly accumulated in the sediment media (more than 80%). A result of PAHs concentration changes in S-city over the past 34 years identified that PAHs emissions from all environmental media increased from 1983 to 2005 and decreased until 2016, where the emission of heavy-duty vehicle including truck revealed the largest contribution to the automotive emissions of PAHs at all environment media. The PAHs concentrations in soil and water for the last 34 years showed the less value than the legal standards of PAHs, but the PAHs in air exceeded the air quality standards from 1996 to 2016. The result of this study is expected to contribute the effective management and monitoring of toxic chemicals of PAHs at various environment media of Metropolitan city.

본 연구에서는 다매체 퓨가시티 모델을 기반으로 Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) 방지기술의 인체위해성·환경성·경제성 평가를 수행하여 석유화학 산업단지 내 VOCs 저감을 위한 최적가용기법(Best available technology, BAT)을 선정하였다. 다매체 퓨가시티 모델을 이용하여 U-city에 소재한 석유화학 산업단지에서 배출되는 VOCs 중 Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene, Xylene (BTEX)의 다매체 거동 특성과 잔류농도 분포를 예측하였다. 매체 통합 인체위해성 평가 및 민감도 분석을 이용해 BTEX의 물질별 인체위해성을 예측하고 주요 영향 변수를 규명하였으며, 다매체 환경시스템 내 잔류농도 기준의 환경성 평가와 비용-편익 경제성 평가를 수행하여 우수환경관리기법군(BAT군)을 선정하였다. BTEX의 다매체 거동 분석 결과, 토양 매체에서 높은 잔류 분포 특성(60%, 61%, 64%, 63%)을 보였으며, Xylene은 모든 다매체 환경에서 가장 높은 잔류성을 보였다. BAT후보군 중에서 흡수법은 가장 높은 인체위해성을 보여 BAT 선정에서 제외하였으며, 민감도 분석 결과 대기 매체에서의 물질 반감기와 경로별 노출계수가 인체위해성과 높은 상관성이 있는 것으로 판단되었다. 환경성 평가와 비용-편익 경제성 평가를 고려하여, 재생 열산화법, 재생 촉매산화법, 바이오필터법, UV 산화법, 활성탄 흡착법을 석유화학 산업단지 내 VOCs 저감을 위한 BAT군으로 선정하였으며, 본 연구에서 제시한 매체통합적 접근 방식의 BAT 선정 방법론은 사업장에서 오염물질 저감을 위한 최적의 배출시설 선정과 통합환경관리제도 운영에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. Determination of Best available technology (BAT) was suggested to reduce volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in a petrochemical industrial complex, by conducting human health risk, environmental, and economic assessment based on multimedia fugacity model. Fate and distribution of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX) was predicted by the multimedia fugacity model, which represent VOCs emitted from the industrial complex in U-city. Media-integrated human health risk assessment and sensitivity analysis were conducted to predict the human health risk of BTEX and identify the critical variable which has adverse effects on human health. Besides, the environmental and economic assessment was conducted to determine the BAT for VOCs reduction. It is concluded that BTEX highly remained in soil media (60%, 61%, 64% and 63%), and xylene has remained as the highest proportion of BTEX in each environment media. From the candidates of BAT, the absorption was excluded due to its high human health risk. Moreover, it is identified that the half-life and exposure coefficient of each exposure route are highly correlated with human health risk by sensitivity analysis. In last, considering environmental and economic assessment, the regenerative thermal oxidation, the regenerative catalytic oxidation, the bio-filtration, the UV oxidation, and the activated carbon adsorption were determined as BAT for reducing VOCs in the petrochemical industrial complex. The suggested BAT determination methodology based on the media-integrated approach can contribute to the application of BAT into the workplace to efficiently manage the discharge facilities and operate an integrated environmental management system.

This study aims to conserve and monitor energy use in public sewage treatment plants by utilizing data from the SCADA system and by controlling the aeration rate required for maintaining effluent water quality. Power consumption in the sewage treatment process was predicted using the equipment’s uptime, efficiency, and inherent power consumption. The predicted energy consumption was calibrated by measured data. Additionally, energy efficiency indicators were proposed based on statistical data for energy use, capacity, and effluent quality. In one case study, a sewage treatment plant operated via the SBR process used∼30% of energy consumed in maintaining the bioreactors and treated water tanks (included decanting pump and cleaning systems). Energy consumption analysis with the K-ECO Tool-kit was conducted for unit processing. The results showed that about 58.7% of total energy consumed was used in the preliminary and biological treatment rotating equipment such as the blower and pump. In addition, the energy consumption rate was higher to the order of 19.2% in the phosphorus removal process, 16.0% during sludge treatment, and 6.1% during disinfection and discharge. In terms of equipment energy usage, feeding and decanting pumps accounted for 40% of total energy consumed following 27% for blowers. By controlling the aeration rate based on the proposed feedback control system, the DO concentration was reduced by 56% compared pre-controls and the aeration amount decreased by 28%. The overall power consumption of the plant was reduced by 6% via aeration control.
