Abstract

To monitor the heavy metal exposure conditions of Feral Pigeons Columba livia, we collected them at commercial area, industrial area, park area and resident area in Seoul. In feathers, iron concentrations were significantly different among habitats(ANOVA, p<0.05), and were the highest at park area. Manganese concentrations were relatively higher at industrial and park area than other areas(ANOVA, p<0.05). In case of copper levels were the significantly highest at park area(ANOVA, p<0.05). Zinc, lead and cadmium had no difference among habitats. Correlation between livers and feathers concentrations were highly significant to copper(r²=0.983, p<0.01) and cadmium(r²=0.632, p<0.01), but iron, zinc, manganese and lead were not significantly different.

집비둘기 Columba livia 깃털의 중금속 농도를 파악하기 위하여 서울시에 서식하는 집비둘기를 서식지 환경에 따라 공단, 상업, 공원 및 주거지역으로 나누어 각 지역에 서식하는 개체들을 채집, 중금속 농도를 측정하였다. 깃털 중 철(Fe)의 농도는 공원지역에서, 망간(Mn)은 공업지역과 공원지역에서, 구리(Cu)는 공원지역에서 다른 지역에 비해 월등히 높게 나타났으며, 각 원소별로 지역간에 유의차가 존재하였다(ANOVA, p<0.05). 또한 아연(Zn)은 도심상업지역에서, 납(Pb)은 공업지역에서, 카드뮴(Cd)은 주거지역이 다른지역에 비해 약간 높았지만 지역별로 유의적인 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 간에서의 중금속농도와 깃털에서의 중금속농도와의 상관관계는 구리(r²=0.983, p<0.01)와 카드뮴(r²=0.632, p<0.01)에서 고도의 유의차가 나타났지만, 다른 원소에서는 유의성이 나타나지 않았다.
