Abstract

The purpose of this study was to show the pollution characteristics of hazardous elements from roadside dust in the Gwangju city. We collected 47 samples from November to December in 2004 and separated four groups such as residential area, industrialized area, downtown area and heavy traffic area fer characteristics comparison on hazardous elements. Roadside dust mostly consisted of quartz, albite, microcline, muscovite in XRD analysis. Content of hazardous elements varied: As $3.4{\sim}11.9 ppm$, Cd $0.2{\sim}28.2 ppm$, Co $32{\sim}526 ppm$, Cr $25{\sim}526 ppm$, Cu $11{\sim}375 ppm$, Ni $14{\sim}247 ppm$, Pb $13{\sim}413 ppm$ and Zn $101{\sim}972 ppm$. Average contents of hazardous elements of Zn>Cu>Pb>Cr>Co>Ni>Cd. Content of hazardous elements was low in residential area, whereas that of heavy metal was much the same in both in heavy traffic area. Content of hazardous elements such as Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn was found to be particularly high in industrialized area. According to these results it was possible to presume that industrialized area was affected by industry activity such as machinery, petrochemical, automobile and electronics industry. The SEM analysis, detected Pb, Cr, Ni, and Fe particles in samples of industrialized area contaminated by industry activity. The correlation coefficient table resulted from the samples of roadside dust showed that there was same direction increase of content between elements. In other words, when the content of Cd increase, Cr and Ni increase, as Cr increase, Cu and Ni increase, as Cu increase Ni increase and Pb increase Zn increase. Based on these results it was possible to predict and interpret similar contamination patterns in this study.

이 연구에서는 광주광역시 도로변 분진에 대한 유해원소의 오염특성을 규명하기 위해 2004년 11월과 12월에 걸쳐 47개의 시료를 채취하였다. 시료는 도시화의 특성에 따라 주거지역, 산업지역, 도심지역, 교통밀집지역등 4개의 지역으로 세분하였다. 도로변 분진의 XRD 분석결과 구성광물은 석영, 조장석, 미사장석, 백운모가 대부분 차지하고 있었다. 유해원소 함량은 비소 $3.4{\sim}11.9ppm$, 카드뮴 $0.2{\sim}28.2ppm$, 코발트 $32{\sim}526ppm$, 크롬 $25{\sim}526ppm$, 구리 $11{\sim}375ppm$, 니켈 $14{\sim}247ppm$, 납 $13{\sim}413ppm$, 아연 $101{\sim}972ppm$이었다. 연구지역에서 검출된 유해원소의 평균 함량이 높은 순서는 아연>구리>납>크롬>코발트>니켈>카드뮴 이다. 유해원소의 함량은 대체로 주거지역에서 낮았으며, 도심지역과 교통밀집지역의 중금속 함량은 비슷하였다. 유해원소는 전반적으로 산업지역에서 카드뮴, 코발트, 크롬, 구리, 니켈, 납, 아연이 높게 나왔다. 이는 산업지역인 광주광역시 하남 산업단지에 기계, 석유화학, 자동차, 전자 관련 업체가 많이 입주해 있는 것과 관련이 있는 것으로 추정된다. 전자 현미경 분석결과 산업지역에서 납을 함유한 입자가 관찰되어 납의 오염현상을 반영했고, 또한 크롬과 니켈, 철을 함유한 입자를 확인 할 수 있어, 산업 활동의 기원으로 추론된다. 광주광역시 도로변 분진의 유해원소별 상관계수 값을 보면 카드뮴이 증가함에 따라 크롬, 니켈은 정(+)의 상관관계를 나타내고 크롬은 구리와 니켈, 구리는 니켈, 납은 아연과 정(+)의 상관관계를 양상을 띠고 있어 같은 패턴의 오염의 양상을 예측할 수 있었다.
