본 연구에서는 중금속 7종(Cu, Cd, Cr, As(III), As(V), Zn, Ni) 및 나노입자 5종(CuO, ZnO, NiO, $TiO_2$, $Fe_2O_3$)에 대한 독성을 수계 대표 생물종인 녹조류 Chlorella vulgaris를 이용한 생물검정법으로 평가하였다. 조류에 미치는 영향은 흡광도, 클로로필 및 개체수 측정에 대한 결과를 통합하여 평가하였다. 중금속의 통합결과독성($TEC_{50}$) 순서는 Cr ($0.7mgL^{-1}$) > Cu ($1.7mgL^{-1}$) > Cd ($3.2mgL^{-1}$) > Zn ($3.9mgL^{-1}$) > Ni ($13.2mgL^{-1}$) > As(III) ($17.8mgL^{-1}$) ${\gg}$ As(V) (> $1000mgL^{-1}$)로 나타났다. 중금속은 측정종말점에 따라 일부 상이한 민감도와 독성이 조사되었다. 나노입자의 독성($TEC_{50}$) 순서는 ZnO ($2.4mgL^{-1}$) > NiO ($21.1mgL^{-1}$) > CuO ($36.6mgL^{-1}$) > $TiO_2$ ($62.5mgL^{-1}$) > $Fe_2O_3$ ($82.7mgL^{-1}$)로 나타났다. 나노입자는 측정종말점간에 비슷한 민감도와 독성을 보였다. 따라서 오염물의 독성을 평가하기 위해서 단일 방법에 의한 결과보다는 다양한 측정종말점의 통합결과에 근거한 접근이 적절할 것이다.

The growth of Selenastrum capricornutum in culture was investigated as a function of ionic copper concentrations to verify the toxicity and physiological variation. In a $Cu^{++}$ excess culture (E: $Cu^{++}$ of $130{\mu}g/l$), the growth rate (K)(0.32) was lower than that of the control culture (C: $Cu^{++}$ of $0.065{\mu}g/l$) (0.61) after 8 days and the exponential growth rate ($R_E$) was also found to be lower in culture E (1.1) than culture C (2.9). On the contrary, the K of S. capricornutum in trace $Cu^{++}$ culture ($T_1$ and $T_2$, 0.72) after 6 days tended to be more increased than culture C (0.68). From 8 to 14 days of culture, the amounts of chlorophyllls a and b were increased in culture C (chlorophyll a, $106->126{\mu}g/g$ dry wt; chlorophyll b, $158->208{\mu}g/g$ dry wt; chlorophyll b were decreased in culture E (chlorophyll a, $309->235{\mu}g/g$ dry wt; chlorophyll b, $405->352{\mu}g/g$ dry wt). The amounts of chlorophylls in ionic copper trace culture ($T_1$ and $T_2$) [(chl a/b) of $T_1$: $384/620\;{\mu}g/g$ dry wt; (chl a/b) of $T^2$:$320/467{\mu}g/g$ dry wt] were increased more than the culture C($260/387{\mu}g/g$ dry wt). Howeveer, when photosynthetic rates were normalized to the dry weight of algae, the control culture continued to showed higher values than the treated culture ($T_1$). An appropriate amount of ionic copper ($T_1:\;26\;{\mu}g/l$) stimulated the grwoth of S. capricornutum than the ionic copper content of $13\;{\mu}g/l$ ($T_2$), while the excess amount of ionic copper ($130\;{\mu}g/l$) resulted in the highest toxicity to the growth of S. capricornutum.

국내에 서식하는 개구리의 배아를 이용하여 화학물질의 독성평가에 대한 가능성을 파악하기 위해 FETAX(Frog Embryo Teratogenesis Assay-Xenopus) 기법에 따라 청개구리(Hyla japonica)의 배아를 배양하면서 $Cu^{2+}$과 Tebuconazole의 효과를 probit 분석법으로 조사하였다. 그 결과, $Cu^{2+}$과 Tebuconazole의 농도에 의존하여 유생의 체장 길이는 감소하고 치사율과 기형율은 증가하였으며 $Cu^{2+}$과 Tebuconazole의 teratogenic concentration($EC_{50}$)은 각각 0.05, 5.0mg/L을 나타내었고 embryo lethal concentrations($LC_{50}$)은 0.16, 39.1mg/L을 나타내었다. Teratogenic index($TI=LC_{50}/EC_{50}$)는 $Cu^{2+}$의 경우 3.0, Tebuconazole의 경우 7.7을 나타내어 청개구리 배아 발달에 최기형성 물질로 작용함을 알 수 있었다. 이상의 결과들로 보아 $Cu^{2+}$과 Tebuconazole 모두 낮은 농도에서 청개구리 배아의 발달에 민감하게 반응하였으며 다량의 배아 확보가 가능하였고 배양이 용이하였으며 치사율, 기형율, 성장률, 기형양상 등이 기존의 연구들과 비교하였을 때 유사한 결과를 나타내어 청개구리 배아를 활용한 시험기법은 화학물질 및 환경오염물질의 독성검정에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Many environmental contaminants including several metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and pharmaceuticals, have been identified to be phototoxic in the water environment. Concerns regarding photo-enhancement of toxicity of several environmental contaminants have been increasing because of the increased level of ultraviolet irradiation on the earth surface. However, there exist arguments that there might be certain defense mechanisms taking place in the aquatic ecosystem, which may include behavioral characteristics or genetic acclimation. This study was conducted to understand the potential responses of aquatic receptors to several phototoxic metals in the real environment, where long-term acclimation of such organisms to low dose UV-B may take place. For this purpose, water flea Daphnia magna was acclimated to environmentally relevant dose of UV-B (12 to $18uW/cm^2$) for >11 generations. The differences in developmental and life history characteristics, and toxicity responses were evaluated. Acclimation did not affect the daphnids' growth, longevity, and reproduction characteristics such as time to first brood, and brood size: After 21 d, survival of D. magna was not influenced by UV-B acclimation. When the number of young per female was compared. the daphnids acclimated for 11 generations tend to produce less number of neonates than the un-acclimated individuals but with no statistical significance (p>0.05). Four metals that were reported to be phototoxic elsewhere were employed in this evaluation, that include As, Cd. Cu, and Ni. UV-B level being applied in acclimation did increase the toxicity of Cd and Cu, significantly (p<0.05). However, the toxicities of As and Ni were not affected by irradiation of UV-B. Phototoxic responses were evaluated between the acclimated and the un-acclimated daphnids. For Cu, UV-B acclimation led to reduction of the photo-induced toxicity $(p\approx0.1)$ in daphnids. Non-acclimated Daphnia were affected by 50% at 4.18 ug/l Cu. but UV-B acclimated individuals exhibited $EC_{50}$ of 5.89 ug/l. With Cd, UV-B acclimation appeared to increase phototoxicity (p>0.05). With As and Ni, UV-B acclimation did not influence photo-induced toxicity. This observation may be in part explained by the type of reactive oxygen species that were generated by each metal. Similar to UV-B light, Cu is known to generate superoxide anion by acting as redox cycling toxicant. This is one of the first studies that employed_laboratory based UV-B acclimated test species for photoenhanced toxicity evaluation.

In this study, the predictive toxicity of barley Hordeum vulgare was estimated using a modified terrestrial biotic ligand model (TBLM) to account for the toxic effects of $CuOH^+$ and $CuCO_3(aq)$ generated at pH 7 or higher, and this was compared to that from the original TBLM. At pH values higher than 7, the difference in $EA_{50}\{Cu^{2+}\}$ (half maximal effective activity of $Cu^{2+}$) between the two models increased with increasing pH. As Mg concentration increased from 8.24 to 148 mg/L in the pH range of 5.5 to 8.5, the difference in $EA_{50}\{Cu^{2+}\}$ increased, and it reached its maximum at pH 8. The difference in $EC_{50}[Cu]_T$ (half maximal effective concentration of Cu) between the two models increased as dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentration increased when pH was above 7. Thus, for soils with alkaline pH, the toxic effect of $CuOH^+$ and $CuCO_3(aq)$ are greater at higher salt and DOC concentrations. The acceptable Cu concentration in soil porewater can be estimated by the modified TBLM through deterministic method at pH levels higher than 7, while combination of TBLM and species sensitivity distribution through the probabilistic method could be utilized at pH levels lower than 7.

본 연구의 목적은 $TiO_2$를 이용한 Cu(II)-EDTA 광촉매 반응 후의 $TiO_2$를 재사용 흑은 재생함으로써 연속적인 광산화 반응에 적용할 수 있는 타당성을 조사하기 위해 총 8회에 걸친 연속 광산화반응에서의 구리 및 $TiO_2$의 회수율과 처리수내의 상대급성독성을 평가하였다. 순환형의 회분식 광산화반응장치를 사용하고 pH 6 조건에서 인공자외선 조사에 의한 $10^{-4}\;M$ Cu(II)-EDTA의 광촉매 산화반응을 실시하였으며 두가지의 $TiO_2$ 재이용방법을 사용하였다: i) 산세척하지 않고 $TiO_2$ 재이용, ii) 산세척 후의 $TiO_2$ 재이용. 산세척하지 않고 $TiO_2$ 재이용시, Cu(II)-EDTA의 분해속도상수($k'_{obs}$) 평균은 산세척 후의 $TiO_2$ 재이용시의 $k'_{obs}$ 평균값 보다 약 45% 적게 나타났다. 산세척 후 $TiO_2$를 재이용한 경우, 총 8회 재이용 실험 모두에서 180분 이후에는 거의 완전한 Cu(II)의 제거가 일어났지만 산세척하지 않고 $TiO_2$를 재이용하였을 때에는 총 5회 재이용시에 Cu(II)가 최소로 제거되었다. 두 재이용 방법 모두 총 8회에 걸친 $TiO_2$의 평균 회수율은 약 86%로 나타났으며 산세척시의 구리회수율은 67.9%가 되었다. 산세척 후의 $TiO_2$ 재이용시 반응시간 60분 까지의 초기 반응시간 대에는 처리수내의 상대독성이 급격히 감소하였지만 60분 이후에는 독성의 저감이 크게 감소하였다. 산세척 없이 $TiO_2$를 재이용하였을 때에는 상대독성의 경향은 용존 구리이온과 관계있는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해 $TiO_2$ 및 구리를 회수하는 연속 순환공정을 적용함으로써 Cu(II)-EDTA의 효율적인 제거 가능성을 제안할 수 있었다.

In order to investigate acute toxicity and bioconcentration of heavy metals for a freshwater fish, the fish used in this experiment was goldfish, Carassius auratus. Each ten goldfish was accommonidated in a water and was treated with different concentration of Pb and Cu compound. The 24 $hr-LC_{50}$ was obtained by plotting on the log-normal distribution graph. Furthermore, the combined effect of Pb and Cu was also investigated the fish was treated with Pb or Cu compound only, and Pb and Cu compound together, respectively. These results were summarized as follows: 1. The 24 $hr-LC_{50}'s$ of Pb and Cu were 7.48 mg/l and 0.666 mg/l, respectively. 2. When single or/and combined treatment with Pb(7.0 mg/l) or/and Cu(0.6 mg/l) to Carassius auratus for 24 hours were performed, there was significant difference between the single or/and the combined treatment in their bioaccumulated Cu concentrations. Cu concentrations in goldfish were higher in the combined treatment than in the single treatment. 3. When Carassius auratus was exposed to 0.748 mg/l (1/10 of 24 $hr-LC_{50}$) and 1.496 mg/l of Pb (1/5 of 24 $hr-LC_{50}$) for 7 days, the bioconcentration factors (BCF) were 79.14 and 100.11 for Pb, respectively. The BCF of Pb was obtained as a linearity according to the concentration and exposure time as follows log BCF=1.014 log $P\cdot T$+1.011 ($r^2$=0.9041) where, P: pollutant concentration(mg/l) T: exposure time(day) 4. When Carassius auratus was pxposed to 0.0666 mg/l (1/10 of 24 $hr-LC_{50}$) and 0.1332 mg/l of Cu (1/5 of 24 $hr-LC_{50}$) for 7 days, the bioconcentration factors (BCF) were 55.42 and 63.24 for Cu respectively. The BCF of Cu was obtained as a linearity according to the concentration and exposure time as follows log BCF=0.571 log $P\cdot T$+1.823 ($r^2$=0.8974) where, P: polutant concentration(mg/l) T: exposure time(day)

수계에 존재하는 중금속의 급성독성을 평가하기 위해 발광유전자를 대장균에 삽입한 재조합 대장균($DH5{\alpha}$/pSB311)과 해양성 발광세균인 Vibrio fisheri를 바이오센서로 사용하는 LumisTox를 비교 평가하였다. 재조합 발광대장균인 $DH5{\alpha}$/pSB311는 Photorhabdus luminescens로부터 발광유전자인 lux CDABE를 분리하여 multicopy plasmid pACYC184에 재조합한 것이다. $DH5{\alpha}$/pSB311는 기존의 재조합 발광세균과 달리 발광반응 시 별도의 기질이 소모되지 않는 특성이 있다. 중금속의 급성독성을 평가한 결과 수은과 구리가 아연과 카드뮴에 비해 상대적으로 강한 독성을 나타났고 $DH5{\alpha}$/pSB311의 중금속에 대한 민감도는 Vibrio fisheri를 이용한 LumisTox에 비해 같거나 민감한 반응을 나타냈다. 측정된 중금속 급성독성의 강도는 $DH5{\alpha}$/pSB311의 경우 $Hg^{2+}>Cu^{2+}>Zn^{2+}>Cd^{2+}$의 순이고 LumisTox는 $Hg^{2+}>Cu^{2+}>Cd^{2+}>Zn^{2+}$ 순으로 나타났다. 재조합 발광세균을 이용한 바이오센서는 검출민감도, 신속한 측정 및 조작의 간편성을 충족시킬 수 있는 기술이며 또한 재조합 기술의 진보에 따라 계속적으로 기능이 향상될 수 있다는 특징이 있다.

The toxicity values heavy metals were evaluated by immobilization and chronic reproduction impairment tests, using Daphnia magna. Acute tests were evaluated by the inhibition of their mobilization after 24hrs without food addition. The tests of reproductive impairment were investigated for 21 days by food addition and exchange or water. The effect of each concentration was assessed by Probit analysis and t-test. The results obtained from this study were as follows : 1) The change of pH and DO was not significant in the acute tests, while, in the reproductive tests, pH was increased by 0.3~1.4 and DO also increased. 2) The $E_iC_{50}$ values of immobilization to Daphnia magna in artificial fresh water were $0.030mg/{\ell}(Cu),\;0.054mg/{\ell}(Cd),\;0.12mg/{\ell};(Cr),\;0.74mg/{\ell}(Pb),\;3.4mg/ {\ell}(As)$ and the $NOE_iC$ values were $0.010mg/{\ell}(Cu),\;0.018mg/{\ell}(Cd),\;0.010mg/{\ell}(Cr),\;0.10mg/{\ell}(Pb),\;and\;$1.8mg/{\ell}(As)$. 3) The $E_rC_{50}$ values of reproductive impairment to Daphnia magna were $13.8\mu\textrm{g}/{\ell}(Cu),\;2.9\mu\textrm{g}/{\ell}(Cd),\;15.5\mu\textrm{g}/{\ell}(Cr),\;61.7\mu\textrm{g}/{\ell}(Pb),\;759\mu\textrm{g}/{\ell}(As)$, and $NOE_rC$ values were $0.95\mu\textrm{g}/{\ell}(Cu),\;$0.54\mu\textrm{g}/{\ell}(Cd),\;1.2\mu\textrm{g}/{\ell}(Cd),\;$7.4\mu\textrm{g}/{\ell}(Pb),\;110mu\textrm{g}/{\ell}(As)$. The results of tests using OECD artificial culture water were more sensitive than natural water for culturing. The presented data show that an artificial culture water is suitable in the experiment of bioassay for assessing the toxicity of marterials.
