이태관Tae Gwan Lee,염규진Kyu Jin Yum
Abstract
In this study, we examined wastewater from small businesses in Taegu. Small businesses might be minor sources of pollution, but they are potentially dangerous because of their toxic substances and poor wastewater treatment. There are no special policies or programs for the small business in Korea. Therefore we focused our investigation of wastewater to propose environmental policy for the small business. We chose some small businesses three plating factories, three dyeing factories, three transportation companies and one chemical factory all located in the Sungser industrial complex and 10 car washes randomly selected throughout Taegu, and then examined their wastewater. Our results found, the characteristics of wastewater from each of the factories were totally different and wastewater from the car washes had harmful quantities of E-coli and ABS which are omitted from present day regulation. Our findings support the assertion that Korea needs broader and specialized policies for various kinds of small businesses.
