  • 최근에 와서 유류오염과 더불어 중금속에 의한 해양오염, 특히 연안오염은 공공 관심의 대상이 되고 있다. 어떤 해역의 오염정도는 그 해역의 해수 및 그 해역에 서식 하는 유기체(Organisms)와 더불어 그 해역 퇴적물의 오염물질함량으로부터 파악할 수 있다. 진해만과 부산해역은 공업단지와 대도시가 인접해 있고 또 선박의 출입이 잦기 때문에 중금속에 의해 오염될 가능성이 많다. 그러나 이 해역에 대한 중금속의 오염조사현황을 보면 수질에 대한 조사는 수차(Kwak et al., 1974, 국립수산진흥원, 1975, 1977)에 걸쳐 행하여 졌으나 퇴적물에 대해서는 진해만에 대한 2회의 조사(Lee et al., 1974, Hyun, 1974)가 있었을 뿐이다. 본 조사에서는 진해만과 부산해역 퇴적물의 중금속 오염실태를 알아보기 위해 이를 해역의 퇴적물을 채취하고 퇴적물중 구리, 납, 아연, 니켈, 코발트, 철, 망간등 7가지 중금속의 함량을 측정하였다.

  • In this study, the effects of reclaimed wastewater irrigation on the concentration of heavy metals such as lead, zinc, cadmium, and copper in soil and vegetables were investigated by monitoring an experimental area irrigated with reclaimed wastewater. Three treatments and three replications on $10{\times}2$-m plots were installed and heavy metal concentrations in soil and vegetables were monitored from 2005 to 2007. The treatments applied in this study were groundwater irrigation (control treatment), wastewater irrigation, and irrigation with filtered reclaimed wastewater treated with ultraviolet light. The monitored results showed that the concentrations of Cu, Cd, and Pb in soil during the experimental period were lower than initial soil levels before irrigation, whereas Zn increased in all treatment plots. However, the ranges of Zn, Cu, Cd and Pb in soil were below the soil pollution standards in the Republic of Korea. Heavy metal concentrations in vegetables showed insignificant variations for all treatments.

  • In this study, we examined the influences of pH and total concentration on the speciation of heavy metals (Cd, Cu, Zn) in acid mine drainage. Their labile concentrations were analyzed by Anodic Stripping Voltammetry (ASV) at both natural pH and adjusted pHs (from 2 to 8). We obtained regression equations for predicting labile concentrations as a function of the water pH and contamination level (total dissolved metal concentration). Our data show that labile Cu depends on both the total concentration and pH, while labile Cd and Zn concentrations are controlled mainly by their total concentration rather than pH. Therefore, the pH variation of AMD may significantly change the toxicity and bioavailability especially of Cu, owing to its speciation change.

  • This study was performed to investigate the contamination level of harmful metals in 4 species of freshwater fishes collected at the three sampling sites of Yeong san river from January to October in 1990. The levels of total mercury, lead, zinc, manganese, copper and cadmium were ditermined and the results were summarized as follows : The overall range(ppm) were Hg, 0.022~0.139 ; Pb, 0.666~0.984 ; Zn, 8.673~15.214 ; Mn, 2.751~5.049 ; Cu, 0.328~1.174 ; Cd, 0.017~0.052. Among the six heavy metals contents, the highest was zinc and the lowest was cadmium. The results showed that all the 4 species of freshwater fishes of Yeong san river studied have not yet dangerous levels enough to pose a health problem.

  • The content and distribution of some heavy metals (Fe, Mn, Cr, Co, Cu, Ni, Zn and Pb) were investigated in the <$63{\mu}m$ bed sediments of the Mangyeong river to recognize the extent of contamination. Results showed that a wide range of concentrations was apparent for every metal. These variations were particularly significant at the confluence of tributaries. High levels of metals occur mainly in the confluence of tributaries. Geoaccumulation indexes have been calculated to assess whether the concentration observed represent background or contaminated levels. It is proved that the Mangyeong River is moderately to strongly polluted for Mn, Cr, Cu, Zn and Pb. The spatial extent of pollution was examined, and it was found that the most polluted area is located in the confluence of Iksan and Jeonju tributaries.

  • 시흥광산은 1973년 폐장되었으며 1990년 초에 선광장 및 광미야적장에 있던 광미들을 제거한 후 그 자리에 소각장을 건설하는 폐광 복원사업을 실시하였다. 그러나 현재에도 광미가 완전히 제거되지 않았으며 광산 가동기간동안 많은 양의 광미가 주변 토양 및 논으로 이동, 퇴적된 것이 확인되는 바 광미와 물 반응으로 인한 침출수 형성과 주변 지하수 토양의 중금속 오염이 예상된다. 된 연구는 잔류광미와 물 반응에 따른 광산배수의 지구화학적 진화과정을 분석하고 주변 지하수 · 토양 오염 가능성을 평가하고자 하였다. 광미에서 추출한 공극수는 깊이에 따라 그 농도가 증가함을 보여 광미-불 반응을 통하여 지속적으로 중금속이 용출됨을 시사한다. 광미 중금속 용출은 공극수뿐 아니라 표면과 심부에서 각자 채취한 광미시료들간의 화학성분 차이에서도 확인된다. 광산 배수 기원지역과 하부 지역의 지하수 시료를 거리에 따라 채취, 분석한 결과 Cd, Pb 및 Zn 등은 국내 및 미국환경청 음용수 기준을 초과하며 광산배수의 영향을 받은 결과로 해석된다. 실내 회분식 시험 결과 원소들은 농도가 급격히 감소하는 것과 비교적 일정한 농도를 보이는 두 가지 양상을 보였으며 이는 일부 원소들이 평형농도에 도달하고 있기 때문으로 생각된다 회분식 시험에 사용한 증류수의 평균 pH는 6.5∼7.0의 범위로 이를 pH 4로 조정한 결과 원소들의 용출량이 급격히 증가하였다. 본 지역의 잔류광미는 지속적으로 주변의 지하수와 토양을 오염시킬 것으로 판단되며 이는 산성비등의 영향으로 인하여 급격히 증가할 것이다.

  • Food delivery is gaining popularity due to changes in lifestyle and dietary patterns. However, packages used to delivery food may contain contaminants including heavy metals, or additives added during manufacturing process which may migrate into food during processing and transportation. In this study, a total of 58 food packages for delivery were collected and tested for migration of heavy metals (lead, cadmium and arsenic), bisphenol A and phenol into food simulants. The method was validated by evaluating linearity of calibration curve, limit of detection, limit of quantification, recovery and precision. Result of heavy metal migration showed that lead was the most frequently migrated metal and the highest concentration was detected in a polypropylene sample. Although there are no specific migration limits for bisphenol A and phenol in packaging materials tested in this study, migrations of bisphenol A and phenol were detected in some packages. This may due to contamination or additives added during manufacture of packages. Risk (%) was calculated to analyze the risk associated with the migration of heavy metals, bisphenol A and phenol, and was always below 1 %. These results showed that food packages for delivery are safe in terms of heavy metals, bisphenol A and phenol migration.

  • We measured grain size, organic matter, and metallic elements (Fe, Cu, Pb, Zn, Cd, Cr, Mn, Hg, and As) in intertidal sediments collected from six islands in the western part of Jellanam Province in order to evaluate heavy metal contamination in the tidal flat sediments of coastal islands. The evaluation of metal contamination was carried out using geochemical assessment techniques such as sediment quality guidelines (SQGs), enrichment factor (EF), and geoaccumulation index ($I_{geo}$). Surface sediments were classified into four sedimentary facies: sand, gravelly muddy sand, slightly gravelly mud, and silt. The concentrations of heavy metals in intertidal sediments from Jaeun, Amtae, Biguem, and Docho islands showed good positive correlations with mean grain size and ignition loss, indicating that the concentrations of metallic elements in these sediments were dependent on grain size and the organic matter content. The concentrations of heavy metals in sediments from almost all of the stations were lower than two criterion values proposed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in the United States. Based on the EF and $I_{geo}$ results, surface sediments were a little polluted for Cr and were moderately polluted for As. Our results suggest that more intensive studies are necessary in the future in order to determine the major source of As in intertidal sediment and to evaluate the As pollution level in macrobenthos.

  • Metal ions contamination may inhibit microorganisms involved in the biodegradation of organic compounds and affect biodegradation rates. Therefore, it is likely that bioremediation of xenobiotics-contaminated soils and waste will require inoculation with efficient biodegrading microbial communities, with capabilities of being resistant to heavy metals as well. Two different transconjugants (Pseudomonas sp. KMl2TC and P. aeruginosa TC) were constructed by conjugation experiments. Results on MIC, induction and growth inhibition strongly indicated that arsenic-resistant plasmid, pKM20, could be mobilized, and the newly acquired phenotype of pKM20 was not only expressed but also well regulated, resulting in newly acquired resistances to $As^{5+},\;As^{3+},\;and\;Sb^{3+} in\;addition\;to\;Cd^{2+},\;Zn^{2+},\;and\;Hg^{2+}$. The phenol- degradation efficiencies of Pseudomonas sp. KMl2TC were maintained significantly even at high heavy metal concentrations at which these efficiencies of P. aeruginosa TC were completely impaired. The results in this study on the effects of heavy metals on phenol degradation, especially after conjugation, are the first ever reported. All the results described in this study encourage to establish a goal of making "designer biocatalysts" which could degrade certain xenobiotics in the area contaminated with multiple heavy metals.

  • This study was performed to investigate the heavy metal contents and distribution in bioorganisms from the estuary area of Mankyeong-Dongjin river. In paddy plant, the average contents of heavy metals were in order of Zn>Cu>Pb>Cr>Cd in all parts. Those of Cd, Cr, Pb and Cu were all highest in the leaf while lowest in the brown rice. The average content of Zn was almost similar in all parts. In the dried muscular parts of shellfish, the average contents of heavy metals were in the range of 1.06~1.95 mg/kg for Cd, 2.93~4.98 mg/kg for Cr, 0.90~1.17 mg/kg for Pb, 8.41~18.58 mg/kg for Cu and 29.81~67.31 for Zn, respectively, In fish(Acanthogobius hasta), the average contents of heavy metals in the dried body parts were in the range of 0.05~0.43 mg/kg for Cd, 0.65~4.59 mg/kg for Cr, 1.01~4.75 mg/kg for Pb and 1.34~4.19 mg/kg for Cu, with high accumulation in bone and head overally.
