Abstract

Urban stormwater runoff contains heavy metals that accumulate in on-site treatment systems, thus resulting to facility deterioration and maintenance problems. In order to resolve these problems, low impact development (LID) technologies that promote natural materials circulation are widely used. LID facilities are capable of treating heavy metals in the runoff by means of plant uptake; however, the uptake or phytoremediation capabilities of plants have not been studied extensively, making it difficult to select the most suitable plant species for a certain LID design. This study investigated the vegetative components of an LID facility, roadside plants, and plants in landscape areas with different heavy metal exposure and frequency to determine the uptake capabilities of different plant species. The plants harvested inside the LID facilities and roadsides with high vehicular traffic exhibited greater heavy metal concentrations in their tissues as compared with the plants in landscape areas. Generally, the accumulation of heavy metals in the plant tissues were found to be influenced by the environmental characteristics (i.e. influent water quality, air pollution level, etc.). Dianthus, Metasequoia, Rhododendron lateritium, and Mugwort were found to be effective in removing Zn in the urban stormwater runoff. Additionally, Dianthus, Metasequoia, Mugwort, and Ginkgo Biloba exhibited excellent removal of Cu. Cherry Tree, Metasequoia, and mugwort efficiently removed Pb, whereas Dianthus was also found to be effective in treating As, Cr, and Cd in stormwater. Overall, different plant species showed varying heavy metal uptake capabilities. The results of this study can be used as an effective tool in selecting suitable plant species for removing heavy metals in the runoff from different land use types.

도시 강우유출수에 함유된 중금속은 저감시설 내에 축적되면서 기능저하와 유지관리를 어렵게 하는 원인이다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 자연적 물질순환과정을 가진 LID 시설이 널리 이용되고 있다. LID 시설로 유입된 중금속은 식물흡입을 통해 밖으로 배출된다. 그러나 식물별 중금속 흡수율이 규명되지 못하여 LID 설계시 식물 종 선정에 어려움을 주고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 중금속 노출빈도가 다른 LID 시설 내부, 도로변 식물 및 조경공간 식물을 상호비교하여 식물에 의한 중금속 제거특성을 연구하였다. 차량 활동과 접촉빈도가 높은 LID 및 도로변에 식재된 식물류(초본류, 관목류, 교목류)의 체내 중금속 함량은 조경공간 식재 식물체보다 높게 나타났다. 중금속의 체내 축적은 주변환경(유입수 성상, 주변 대기오염 정도 등)의 영향을 크게 받는 것으로 나타났다. 도시 강우유출수에 높은 농도로 함유된 Zn 제거에는 패랭이, 메타세콰이어, 영산홍, 쑥 등이 적정하며, Cu 제거에는 패랭이, 메타세콰이어, 쑥 및 은행나무가 적절한 것으로 평가되었다. Pb 제거에는 벚꽃나무, 메타세콰이어 및 조팝나무가 적정하며, As, Cr 및 Cd 제거에는 패랭이가 적정한 것으로 평가되었다. 식물별 중금속 흡입능력은 서로 다르게 나타났다. 이러한 특성은 다양한 토지이용에서 발생하는 다양한 중금속 제거를 위한 식물 종 선정에 활용될 수 있다.
