초록

연구의 목적은 옥동천 유역 토양의 중금속의 존재형태와 존재형태에 따른 중금속의 오염지수를 산정하는데 있다. 토양채취는 경작지 토양을 대상으로 하였고 토양은 물리적 특성과 이화학적 특성을 분석하였다. 그 결과 경작지 토양의 pH는 5.2에서 7.6을, 총질소 함량과 loss on ignition은 각각 0.6∼2.5%, 1.9∼12.9%를 나타냈다. 경작지 토양의 중금속 농도는 폐광된 탄광지역의 논토양에서 높게 나타났으며, 총 중금속의 농도는 Zn > Pb > Ni > Cu > Cd 순으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 토양환경기준치와 비오염 경작지 토양의 중금속 농도 보다 높게 나타나는 경향을 보였으며, 총 중금속 중 일부분이 이동 가능성이 있는 부분으로 나타났다. 토양오염 평가지수(SPAI)는 조사지 토양에서 Non polluted와 Moderately polluted를 나타냈으며, 이러한 결과는 비 이동성 형태보다는 이동성 형태의 값이 났게 나타났다. 경작지 토양에서 중금속 존재형태와 SPAI 값은 중금속에 의한 오염과 식물체에 미치는 잠재적인 유해한 결과를 얻을수 있다. 따라서 결과에서 보여진 폐탄광지역의 토양을 복원하기 위해서 신속한 대책이 필요하다.

Objectives of this research were to fractionate heavy metals in soil samples in the upper Okdong River basin and to assess the potential pollution index of each metal fraction. Soil samples were collected from the cultivated land soils and analyzed for physical and chemical properties. pH of cultivated soils ranged from 5.2 to 7.6. Contents of total kelhaldal nitrogen and loss on ignition were in the ranges of 0.6∼2.5%, and 1.9∼12.9%, respectively. Heavy metals in the cultivated land soils were higher in the abandoned closed coal mine near field soils than those in the paddy soils. Total concentrations of metals in the cultivated land soils were in the orders of Zn > Pb > Ni > Cu > Cd, exceed the corrective action level of the Soil Environment Conservation Law and higher than the naturals were abundance levels reported from uncontaminated cultivated land soils. Mobile fractions of metals were relatively small compared to the total concentrations. Soil Pollution Assesment Index (SPAI) values of each fraction of metals were leveled from Non polluted to Moderately polluted based on total concentrations. SPAI values of mobil fractions were lower than those of immobile fractions. Results on metal fractions and SPAI values of the cultivated land soils indicate that field soils samples were contaminated with heavy metals and had potential to cause a detrimental effects on plants. A prompt countermeasure to prevent field soils in the abandoned closed coal mine near fields are urgently needed.
