원자력시설의 사고시 대기중으로 누출된 방사성물질에 의해 오염된 토양으로부터 재배된 농작물로 인한 인체노출은 각종 환경오염물질에 의한 인체영향 연구결과에 보듯이 직접적인 방사능에 의한 인체노출 못지 않게 상당히 중요하다. 이러한 섭식경로를 통한 노출은 각 나라마다 서로 다른 토양조건 및 작물체종류의 다양성등 다른 양상을 보이고 있어, 연구가 수행된 미국이나 유럽등지의 평가방법을 그대로 사용하면 국내의 토양에서 재배되는 농작물이나 이를 이용한 축산물에 따른 한국인의 독특한 섭취양상을 충분히 고려하여 평가하기 어려울 수 있다.

연일 뉴스에서 넘쳐나는 기사 중 하나가 우리 식탁에 오르는 먹을거리의 오염에 대한 내용이다. 땅이 오염되고 물이 오염되면서 인체에 유해한 물질이 든 먹을거리들이 넘쳐나면서 모든 국민들의 화두는 '웰빙‘이다. 몸에 좋은 것을 먹고, 건강을 위해 삶의 패턴을 바꾸는 사람들이 늘고 있다. 이와 함께 화학비료와 농약의 사용을 극히 제한하고 퇴비를 이용하여 생산된 유기 농산물에 대한 선호도가 급증하는 추세이다. 그러나 이미 오염되어버린 토양에서 재배방법을 아무리 달리하여도 그 땅에서 생산된 농작물은 오염되기 마련이며 한번 오염된 토양도 좀처럼 오염 전의 토양으로 복원하기 힘든 것이 현실이다. 각종 유해성 물질과 이들을 오래도록 사용해온 토양으로부터 야기되는 농작물 및 수질의 오염은 이미 우려할 만한 수준이고 난분해성 유동성 농약의 과다살포, 화학비료의 과다사용 및 장기연용에 의한 염류집적은 토양 본래의 기능성 상실은 물론 농작물의 품질과 생산성에도 큰 영향을 미친다.

Combined with deposition model onto the ground of radionuclides, the influence of radioactive contamination to agricultural products was analyzed due to wet deposition as well as dry deposition from radioactive air concentration during a nuclear emergency. The previous dynamic food chain model, in which initial input parameter is only radionuclide concentrations on the ground, was improved for the evaluating of radioactive contamination to agricultural products from either radionuclide concentrations in air or radionuclide concentrations on the ground. As the results, in case of deposition onto the ground, wet deposition was more dominant process than thy deposition. While the contamination levels of agricultural products were dependent on the a variety of factors such as radionuclides and rainfall rate. It means that the contamination levels of agricultural products are determined from which is more dominant process between deposition on the ground and interception onto agricultural plants.

휴$\cdot$폐광에 따른 토양오염현상은 폐광의 광미사등에 축적된 중금속이나 화학처리제 등의 오염인자들이 용출수나 지하수, 강수 및 비산분진등에 의해 광범위한 지역으로 확산되는 것으로 알려져 있다. 특히 광산의 갱이나 광미사의 퇴적장으로부터 유출되는 유해 중금속들로 인한 토양오염은 주변하천의 농업용수를 오염시켜 농작물에 피해를 주게 되므로 작물의 생육에 지장을 가져올 뿐만 아니라 수확량이 감소되고 또 오염된 농작물을 섭취한 인간이나 동물들에게 만성적인 장해를 일으키기도 한다. (중략)

A methodology for determining the optimal durations of the use of contaminated crops as feedstuffs of cattle was designed based on the cost-benefit analysis method. The results of application for pigs, an omnivorous cattle, were discussed for the hypothetical deposition of radionuclides on August 15 when a number of crops are fully developed in Korean agricultural conditions. For investigating the relative cost-effectiveness of the use of contaminated crops as feedstuffs, the net benefit was compared with the case of the direct disposal of contaminated crops. The time-dependent radionuclide concentration in crops after the deposition was predicted using a dynamic food chain model DYNACON. The net benefit from the actions was quantitatively evaluated in terms of cost equivalent of doses and monetary costs of implementing the action. It depended on a number of factors such as radionuclides, variety of crops supplied as feedstuffs and duration of the actions. The use of contaminated crops as feedstuffs was more cost effective for $^{90}Sr\;or\;^{131}I$ deposition than for $^{137}Cs$ deposition.

Abandoned mines release acid mine drainage and cause the contamination of soil and crops around the mine area. The objective of current study is to evaluate effect of mine on the soil and crop contamination. Soils, water, and crops were collected and analyzed, and the heavy metal data were classified into types of the soil, types of crops, and distance from the minehead. Surface soils of the mine area were highly contaminated with heavy metals, especially with zinc and lead. Tailings and cultivated paddy soils were also highly contaminated. Heavy metal concentrations upon distance from minehead decrease steadily as the distance from the minehead increase. The correlation between heavy metals was extracted from soils and the content in the rice samples showed a positive relation for arsenic and cadmium but not a meaningful relation for other metals.

부산 일부지역 토양의 중금속 오염과 농작물로의 전이에 의한 중금속 오염을 측정하고자 산분해에 의한 함량분석을 실험하였다. 대상지역 토양의 pH는 $5.62{\sim}6.71$의 범위였으며, 평균 중금속 함량은 $0.05{\sim}19.39ppm$의 범위에서 Mn(13.82ppm)>Zn(8.33ppm)>Pb(2.89ppm)>Cu(0.99ppm)>Cd (0.07ppm)의 분포로 나타났고, 조사대상 중금속의 토양중의 함량은 모두 Clarke수보다 작은 값으로 측정되어 오염도가 낮은 상태였다. 농작물에는 Cd(0.04ppm)$Pb\;6.6%{\sim}Zn\;87.6%$의 범위였다.

The current study was performed to examine the agricultural suitability of the cultivated upland nearby abandoned mining areas in Korea using three different scientific risk assessment models of Korea, USA and UK. For this, three mining sites DM, MG and KS were selected among 687 abandoned mines through preliminary risk assessment. A wide range of parameters were obtained through analysis of both soil and crop samples from the selected areas for heavy metal concentration and questionnaires to the communities along with the selected mining sites. Heavy metal concentration in soil samples was lower than the values previously reported by the Ministry of Environment (ME, 2002). However, both As and Cd concentration in the soil samples exceeded the concern level for agricultural area of the Soil Environment Conservation Act. Judging from the contaminant criteria for the crops, only Zn level in pepper, soybean and corn from the mining area DM exceeded the criteria whereas As, Cd, $Cr^{6+}$, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb did not exceed the criteria. It was demonstrated that there would be human health risk by Pb accumulated in crops from both mining areas MG and KS when estimated by the risk assessment models of Korea and USA. Against it, results of the risk assessment model of UK showed human health risk by Pb in the crops from all study areas.

과거 광미장으로 사용되었던 곳을 복토 후 농경지로 전환한 지역을 대상으로 채취한 벼의 중금속 체내 흡수도를 평가하고자 하였다. 오염된 논에서 채취한 벼 뿌리의 중금속 함량은 배경 뿌리시료에 비교하면, Cd 65배, Pb 24배, Zn 15배, As 8.4배, Ni 3.5배, Cu 2.3배, Mn 2.1배 및 Cr 1.6배가 더 축적되어 있었다. 줄기의 경우, 배경 줄기시료에 비교하여 Pb 10.2배, Cd 5.4배, Zn 4.2배, Wi 1.9배, Cu 1.5 배, Cr 1.3배 높은 것으로 나타났다. 논토양으로부터 뿌리로 흡수되는 중금속 함량은 매우 큰 것으로 나타났으나, 뿌리로부터 줄기로의 체내 흡수도는 급격하게 감소하는 것으로 나타났다.

This paper describes a compartment dynamic model for evaluating the contamination level of kritium in agricultural plants exposed by accidentally released tritium. The present model uses a time-dependent growth equation of plant so that it can predict the effect of growth stage of plant during the exposure time. The model including atmosphere, soil and plant compartments is described by a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations, and is able to predict time-dependent concentrations of tritium in the compartments. To validate the model, a series of exposure experiments of HTO vapor on Chinese cabbage and radish was carried out at the different growth stage of each plant. At the end of exposure, the tissue free water(TFWT) and the organically bound tritium(OBT) were measured. The measured concentrations were agreed well with model predictions.
