Ⅰ. Research Background and Objectives
o Research background and necessity
ㅇ Recent soil remediation costs for fluorine-related contamination in the Seoul metropolitan area reached 585.3 billion won, highlighting the issues associated with soil pollution cleanup costs.
- The Office for Government Policy Coordination has pointed out that current soil fluorine standards place a significant burden on businesses and citizens, requiring rational improvement.
- It was recommended that the Ministry of Environment establish new soil contamination standards in line with international levels, ensuring that they remain within a range that does not harm human health or the environment.
-This study proposes promoting the transition toward a risk-assessment -based remediation system tailored to site-specific conditions over the mid- to long-term.
ㅇ The scope of remediation for naturally occurring soil contamination can be determined through risk assessment according to the Soil Environment Conservation Act; however, this rarely occurs in practice.

o Research objectives and overview
ㅇTo develop institutional improvement measures for the proper management of contaminated sites resulting from natural causes
ㅇ To analyze domestic contamination status, remediation status, and related legal framework; to investigate foreign management systems for geogenic soil contamination in order to derive implications
