Abstract

The $^{87}Sr/^{86}Sr$ ratios between water and biogenic material are similar in marine and lacustrine environment. Pb isotope ratios we, however, reported not to have been corresponding between the biological tissues and ambient water in aquatic system, contrary to the Sr isotope ratios. In order to explore the potential application of two isotopes as environmental tracers, we report here the isotopic compositions of strontium and lead of gastropod shell in fresh water in Jinan area. The $^{87}Sr/^{86}Sr$ ratios of carbonate shells of gastropod living in fresh stream water, are similar as that of ambient water but are different by sites. The different $^{87}Sr/^{86}Sr$ ratios of stream water between the sites is likely caused by the difference of the isotopic composition of Sr derived form rocks in the basin. In contrast, there is a distinct difference of the lead isotopic values between the water and the gastropod shell, suggesting that shell-fish available lead in aquatic system is different from dissolved lead in water. It is assumed that the majority of Pb in stream water is derived from atmospheric Pb accumulated on soil materials over years rather than from rock.

수중생물과 그 생물이 살았던 물과의 Sr 동위원소 조성은 크게 다르지 않으나, Pb 동위원소비는 Sr 동위원소와는 달리 생물과 그 생물이 살았던 물과 상이한 값을 보인다. 이 두 동위원소를 환경추적인자로 동시에 적용할 목적으로 담수에 사는 수중생물인 다슬기(Semisulcospira libertina) 껍질의 두 동위원소비를 측정하여 보았다. 하천수에 사는 다슬기 껍질의 Sr 동위원소비는 그들이 살았던 하천수의 동위원소비와는 같은 값을 보이지만, 채취지역에 따라서는 다른 값을 가진다. 하천수의 Sr 동위원소조성이 다른 것은 각 하천수의 기반암의 Sr 동위원소가 서로 다르기 때문으로 결국 하천수중의 Sr은 기반암으로부터 유래하고 다슬기 껍질의 Sr은 하천수에서 기인한 것으로 볼 수 있다. 반면에 Pb 동위원소비는 하천수와 다슬기 껍질이 서로 다른 값을 보이는 것은 하천수에 용해된 Pb이 다슬기가 흡수 가능한 Pb과는 다른 것으로 생각되며, 다슬기 껍질의 Pb 동위원소비는 강우의 Pb 동위원소비와 유사하다. 하천수에 용해된 Pb은 기반암에서 유래한 것이 아니라 토양 중에 집적된 대기기원의 Pb이 대부분인 것으로 생각된다.
