최근에 들어 우리나라는 공업의 급속한 발달과 도시로의 인구집중 및 농약의 남용등으로 하천 및 연안오염이 크게 우려되고 있다. 특히 중금속은 지속성이 커서 일단 자연에 버려지면 바다로 들어가고, 또한 먹이사슬을 통해 생물농축 (Bioaccumulation)되어 결국에는 인간에게 돌아오기 때문에 연안의 중금속 오염현황 조사와 오염방지대책수립은 시급한 업무라 하겠다. 따라서 본 연구실에서는 우리나라의 연안오염 현황파악과 앞으로의 보다 조직적이고 체계적인 조사계획수립을 위해, 1977년 여름철에 주요연안인 묵호 삼척, 울산, 여수 광양, 목포, 군산, 인천해역 해수의 일반수질지수, 영양염류 그리고 중금속(Cd, Cu, Fe, Pb, Zn)의 농도를 조사하였다. 이중에 일반수질지수와 영양염류의 농도조사결과는 전보(이광우외, 1978) 에 발표하였고, 본보에는 중금속의 조사결과를 보고한다.

Numerous articles under the study and the examination of heavy metals in human teeth have been published in recent years. The heavy metal poisoning is a widespread issue emerged in toxicology area these days. It has been discovered that long-term exposure to heavy metals typically present in traces, in our everyday meals, drinking water, and in the environment as pollution causes heavy metal poisoning in human beings. Industrial effluents, Coal and Oil, as well as a variety of consumer items, such as cosmetics, can all cause this type of exposure. Teeth, which are often thought of as exoskeleton parts, store heavy metals with a high affinity and represent long-term exposure information. In this study, we have chosen and examined the sections of dentine instead, then examined the entire tooth. We have combined the work done on the examination of heavy metals in human teeth using several instrumental approaches e.g. "Optical Spectroscopic Techniques" to detect elemental profile of human teeth in the current study.

To know a degree of pollution in agricultural products cultivated around 4 unworked mines located in Chollanam-Do, we investigated a concentration of heavy metal and trace metal to provide the basic data for its residual limits. 28 samples of seven kinds of agricultural products(lettuce, onion, potato, radish, pepper, pumpkin, bean) collected from 4 unworked mines located in Chollanam-Do in 2001 were analyzed by Mercury Analyzer for mercury and Atomic Absorption spectrophotometer for Pb, As, Cd, Cu, Mn, and Zn. Hg contents were detected N.D. ∼trace level(0.01 ppm and less) and As content were detected N.D. ∼ 0.029 lpm but most of same)leE were not detected. Cd contents were detected N.D∼0.124 ppm. The results of Hg, As, Pb and Cd content showed that for all the 7 species of agricultural products studied, none have accumulated levels dangerous enough to Pose health problems. The average contents of Cu were 3.070 ∼ 7.825 ppm in bean, the Mn were 3.688 ∼23.935 ppm in lettuce ailed the Zn were 5.690 ∼21.171 ppm in bean, respectively.

전국의 16개 휴 ${\cdot}$ 폐광 지역에서 토양중 중금속함량과 식생조사를 실시한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 조사 휴 ${\cdot}$ 폐광산 대부분의 경우 피복식물이 없는 나대지로 존재하고 있었고 유기물함량, CEC 등이 낮은 값을 가지고 있는 등 대체로 척박한 토양조건을 가지고 있었으며 특정 중금속으로 인한 오염의 정도가 토양환경보전법상의 우려기준과 대책기준을 초과하는 지점도 있었다. 식물종들의 분포를 조사한 결과 목본은 소나무, 아카시나무 등이, 초본은 쑥과 억새의 출현빈도가 높았다. 쑥은 지상부에 Zn과 Cd를 각각 1,191, 26.35mg/kg을 함유하였고, 패랭이꽃은 Cu를 405mg/kg 함유하여 체내 농도가 가장 높은 것으로 조사되었다. 체내 중금속함량, 건물생산량, 생육기간등을 고려할 때 쑥, 억새, 달맞이꽃등이 토양정화식물로서의 가치가 있다고 생각된다. 앞으로 쑥을 비롯한 내성이 있는 식물종에 대한 조사는 물론 생리적 특성, 토양조건, 기후조건 등에 대한 지속적 연구가 뒤따라야 할 것으로 생각된다.

고속도로변에 설치된 간이정화시설은 drainage system의 일부분으로 우기에 빗물의 양을 조절하고 고속도로 노면에서 운반되어 간이정화시설에 유입된 오염된 입자를 침전, 제거시키기 위해 설치되었다. 빗물에 입자상태로 이동된 납, 아연, 카드뮴를 제거하기 위해 설치된 간이정화시설의 효과를 평가하기 위해 수리지질학적 연구 및 부유퇴적물의 물리화학적 특성을 규명하기 위한 연구가 수행되었다. 부유퇴적물과 비교하기 위해 심하게 오염된 도로변토양과 오염되지 않은 background soil에 대해서도 연구가 수행되었다. 부유퇴적물의 중금속함량은 background Sologne soil에 비해 원소에 따라 2~8배 높게 나타났다. 그러나, 도로변토양의 중금속함량은 부유퇴적물에 비해 7~26배 높게 나타났다. Sequential extraction methods (Tessier et al., 1979)를 이용하여 분석한 결과 심하게 오염된 도로변토양에 존재하는 납, 아연, 카드뮴은 대부분 쉽게 용해될 수 있는 상태 (Fraction FII, FIII)로 존재하며 반면에 규산염광물과 수반되는 금속함량의 비율은 매우 낮았다. 부유퇴적물에서는 규산염광물과 수반되는 금속함량이 전체 금속함량의 113까지 크게 증가하였다. 납과 아연은 fraction FI에서 거의 용해되지 않았는 반면에 (전체 함량의 약 3%) 카드뮴은 가장 용해성이 높은 fraction FI("exchangeable" )에서 상당량이 용해되었으며 특히 도로변토양의 경우 전체 카드뮴 함량의 1/4을 차지하였다. 도로변토양과 부유퇴적물사이의 중금속함량 차이가 매우 큰 것은 중금속의 대부분이 간이정화시설에 이르기전에 고속도로변과 배수로 일부에 축적되어 모두 상실되었기 때문이다.

본 연구는 광안대교 인근의 해저퇴적토에 포함된 중금속을 분석하여 퇴적토의 오염도를 평가하고자 하였다. 오염도 평가를 위해 Enrichment Factor(EF), Geoaccumulation index, Potential ecological risk factor(PERF), mean PEL quotient와 같은 평가방법을 사용하였다. 각 평가방법에 따라 대상 지역의 중금속 오염 정도를 확인하였고 이를 종합적으로 고려하여 어떤 지역에서 어떤 중금속이 문제가 되는지를 확인하였다. Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn의 경우 전 지역에서 비오염 혹은 영향없음으로 판별되었으나(EF<1) Cd의 경우에는 모든 지역에서 외부영향으로 인한 농도증가 양상을 보여주었다(1$I_{geo}$에 의한 평가에서는 Cd의 경우 G4에서 다소 오염으로 분류되었으나 다른 지역에서는 모두 비오염으로 평가되었다. 각 평가방법에 의한 결과를 요약하면 Cd의 경우 전 지역에서 높게 검출되었고 지역별로는 G4와 G5 지역에서 Cd를 비롯하여 Pb와 Zn의 농도가 다른 지역보다 다소 높은 것으로 확인되었다.

There are growing public concerns over crop and food safeties due to the elevated levels of heavy metals grown in contaminated soil. Heavy metals are classified as the chemical harmful risks for crop and food safety. With implementation of GAP, crop safety is controlled by many regulatory options for soil, irrigation water and fertilizers. Any attempt to retard the metal uptake by crops may be the best protocol to secure crop and food safety. This article reviews the management strategies for heavy metals in view of crop safety in Korea and demonstrates results from the field experiments to retard metal translocation from soil to crops by using chemical amendments and soil layer management methods. Major source of soil pollution by heavy metals has been related with mining activities. Risk assessment revealed that rice consumption and groundwater ingestion in the abandoned mining areas were the major exposure pathways for metals to human and the heavy metal showed the toxic effects on human health. Chemical amendments such as lime and slag retarded Cd uptake by rice (Oryza sativa L.) by increasing soil pH, lowering the phytoavailable Cd concentration in soil solution, immobilizing Cd in soil and converting the available Cd fractions into non-available fractions. The soil layer management methods decreased the Cd uptake by 76% and Pb by 60%. Either reversing the surface layer with subsurface layer or immobilization of metals with layer mixing with lime was considered to be the practical option for the in-situ remediation of the contaminated paddy soils. Combination of chemical soil amendments and layer management methods was efficient to retard the metal bioavailability and thus to secure crop safety for heavy metals. This protocol seems to be cheap, relatively easy to practice and practical in the agricultural fields. However, a long term monitoring work should be followed to verify the efficiency of this protocol.

To prepare measures for practical policy utilization and the control of heavy metals, hazard control related institutions by country, present states of control by country, and present states of control by heavy metals were examined. Hazard control cases by heavy metals in various countries were compared and analyzed. In certain countries (e.g., the U.S., the U.K., and Japan), hazardous substances found in foods (e.g., arsenic, lead, cadmium, and mercury) are controlled. In addition, the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) recommends calculating the provisional tolerable weekly intake (PTWI) of individual heavy metals instead of the acceptable daily intake (ADI) to compare their pollution levels considering their toxicity accumulated in the human body. In Korea, exposure assessments have been conducted, and in other countries, hazardous substances are controlled by various governing bodies. As such, in Korea and other countries, diverse food heavy metal monitoring and human body exposure assessments are conducted, and reducing measures are prepared accordingly. To reduce the danger of hazardous substances, many countries provide leaflets and guidelines, develop hazardous heavy metal intake recommendations, and take necessary actions. Hazard control case analyses can assist in securing consumer safety by establishing systematic and reliable hazard control methods.

Retention ponds have been dug along some of the motorways in France to minimize environmental pollution by keeping pollutants from spreading over the surrounding area. In order to study heavy metal pollution and diagenetic behaviour of sediments, eight core samples were collected from the bottom of a retention pond located along the A-71 motorway in Sologne. The metal concentrations in interstitial waters and extractable metal concentrations in sediment layers using sequential chemical extraction method were determined. The depth distributions of Pb, Zn and Cd concentrations in interstitial water and particulate sediments were studied, and distribution coefficients (KD) were also determined to investigate the environmental mobility of these elements. In addition. the index of geoaccumulation and the Fe-normalized enrichment factor were calculated to differentiate the natural accumulation from the anthropogenic pollution. The vertical concentration profiles of heavy metals in core sediments indicate that surface enrichments (0~2 cm) of Pb, Zn, Cd and organic carbon were always observed at each core sample, due to the early diagenesis. However, the major factor contributing to the accumulation of Cd at the sediment surface is attributed to the dissolution of Cd from polluted roadside soil during periods of rainstorms and its subsequent redeposition on the sediment surface after being carried to the retention pond. A comparison of the KD values indiactes that a decrease in the KD values for Pb and Zn was observed with depth while KD values for Cd increase. According to the KD values. the relative mobility of studied metals was determined as following: Mn>Zn>Cd>Pb, for the upper layer, and Mn>Cd>Zn>Pb, for the lower layers.
