| Outline and Purpose of the Course | The focus is on the management of the geosphere environment, and the management system based on environmental standards and so forth; the history and current state of pollution in Japan, pollution mechanisms and the characteristics of soil and groundwater, a model for pollution evaluation, pollution investigation methods, and soil rehabilitation technology will be explained. With respect to various kinds of purification and rehabilitation technologies, actual purification and rehabilitation cases will be introduced, and the principle, characteristics, and problems will be explained. Additionally, the movement mechanism of water and materials in bedrock will be explained. | |||
| Course Goals | Protecting the soil and groundwater that is closely related to the geosphere environment, especially our lives, from contamination, and understanding the knowledge that is the basis for thinking rationally and for the engineering techniques needed for the theory and background management. Understanding how to grasp the current state of the geosphere environment and the basics for predicting the future of pollution, and also developing applied skills for designing a method of managing the geosphere environment on your own. | |||
| Schedule and Contents |
History of soil pollution and governing equation (2 times): The historical background and current situation of soil and groundwater pollution in Japan will be introduced, and how Japan has responded to these problems, the setting of environmental standard values, the current situation of legal regulation, future issues, and so forth will be introduced. In addition, the governing equation that describes the behavior of pollutants in the soil will be outlined. Movement mechanism of water and materials in the soil and physical measures (3 times): The following contents will be explained: 1. Hydrology and permeability coefficient in the soil (type of soil and permeability coefficient and permeability of multilayered ground); 2. characteristics and effects of waterproofing material, underground walls, and clay barriers; and 3. hydraulic characteristics of unsaturated soil and capillary barriers. Organic pollution mechanism and measures (3 times): We explain the characteristics of soil and sorption/desorption reactions, which are important for the bioremediation of soil contaminated with organic matter. Mechanism and countermeasures of inorganic pollution (3 times): The relation with pH and oxidation-reduction potential, the stoichiometric equilibrium theory, the ionization tendency, and so forth which are necessary for understanding the mechanism of inorganic contamination will be explained. Movement mechanism of substance in underground layers (3 times): As examples of relationship between geoenvironment and society, geological disposal of high level radioactive waste and naturally occurring heavy metal pollution in underground layers will be taken up and their physical, chemical and geological features will be explained. [Final exam] Feedback (1 time): Questions on the lectures or exams will be accepted and answered by E-mail. |
