Current methods of evaluating soil contamination by heavy metals rely on analyzing samples for total contents of metals or quantities recovered in various chemical extracting solutions. Results from these approaches provide only an index for evaluation because these methodologies yield values not directly related to bioavailability of soil-borne metals. In addition, even though concentrations of metals may be less than those required to cause toxic effects to biota, they may cause substantial effects on soil chemical parameters that determine soil quality and sustainable productivity. The objective of this research was to characterize effects of Cu or Cd additions on soil solution chemistry of soil quality indices, such as pH, EC, nutrient cation distribution and quantity/intensity relations (buffer capacity). Metals were added at rates ranging from 0 to 400 mg/kg of soil. Soil solution was sequentially extracted from saturated pastes using vacuum. Concentrations of Cu or Cd remaining in soil solutions were very low as compared to those added to the soils, warranting that most of the added metals were recovered as nonavailable (strongly adsorbed) fractions. Adsorption of the added metals released cations into soil solution causing increases of soluble cation contents and thus ionic strength of soil solution. At metal additions of 200~400 mg/kg, EC of soil solution increased to as much as 2~4 dS/m; salinity levels considered high enough to cause detrimental effects on plant production. More divalent cations (Ca+Mg) than monovalent cations (K+Na) were exchanged by Cu or Cd adsorption. The loss of exchangeable nutrient cations decreased long-term nutrient supplying capacity or each soil. At 100 mg/kg or metal loading, the buffering capacity was decreased by 60%. pH of soil solution decreased linearly with increasing metal loading rates, with a decrement of up to 1.3 units at 400 mg Cu/kg addition. Influences of Cu on each of these soil quality parameters were consistently greater than those of Cd. These effects were of a detrimental nature and large enough in most cases to significantly impact soil productivity. It is clear that new protocols are needed for evaluating potential effects of heavy metal loading of soils.

Alzinc is a ursine situated in the Ghazaouet town western part of the republic of Algeria. The purpose of this study was to determine the degree of contamination which soil and plants are burdened with some heavy metals: Pb, Zn, Ni, Cu, Cd, Mn, Cr, Fe and As, then the accumulation of heavy metals in the soil and plant adjacent of area the alzinc ursine was detected and the interdependence of pollution among all three regions of the environment determined. This paper analyzes the heavy metal contents within a 2-years period in the soil and plants at the beginning of the vegetation period. The presence of Pb, Zn, Ni, Cu, Cd, Mn, Cr, Fe and As, in the samples were analyzed using Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectrometry (ICP-AES). Measurements of heavy metal contents were performed at three locations in soil and vegetative parts of three-plant types (plant alimentary) period during summer. The plant samples from the immediate environment of the dumpsite were highly contaminated with Zn, Cd and Mn. Three plants species: grape, artichoke and pepper, particularly, grape met some of the conditions to be classified as accumulators for Zn, Cu, Cd and Fe, consequently, she revealed a health risk for human and livestock due to the spread of the metal pollution from waste dumpsites to agricultural areas.

Recently, there has been increasing interest in the use of rain garden systems as environmentally friendly ecological infrastructures for controlling stormwater runoff and managing non-point source pollution and information for the contamination of soil and plants can be essential for sustainable rain garden management. In this study, four rain garden mesocosms, namely single species planting with Rhododendron lateritium, single species planting with Zoysia japonica, mixed planting with R. lateritium and Z. japonica, and control without plants, were tested to investigate the change in concentrations of nutrients (N and P) and heavy metals (Cd, Cu, Pb, and Ni) in the soil and plants used in the rain garden system. The presence of plants resulted in greater nutrient retention in soil and lower potential leaching from the system. All systems showed an increase in the heavy metal concentrations in soil. The concentrations of most heavy metals were found to be higher in the herbaceous plants (Z. japonica) than in the shrubs (R. lateritium). The belowground part (root) had higher heavy metal concentrations than the aboveground part (leaf) but also showed a potential increase in leaves, and hence, careful plant management should be considered during rain garden operation.

The primary purpose of this research is to understand those elements that define heavy metals contamination and to propose a novel assessment method based on principal component analysis (PCA) in the Yangping River region of Lingbao City, China. This paper makes detailed calculations regarding such factors the single-factor assessment ($P_i$) and Nemerow's multi-factor index ($P_N$) of heavy metals found in the surface water of the Yangping River. The maximum values of $P_i$ (Cd) and $P_i$ (Pb) were determined to be 892.000 and 113.800 respectively. The maximum value of $P_N$ was calculated to be 639.836. The results of Pearson's correlation analysis, hierarchical cluster analysis, and PCA indicated heavy metal groupings as follows: Cu, Pb, Zn and As, Hg, Cd. The PCA-based pollution index ($P_{an}$) of samplings was subsequently calculated. The relative coefficient square was valued at 0.996 between $P_{an}$ and $P_N$, which indicated that $P_{an}$ is able to serve as a new heavy metal pollution index; not only this index able to eliminate the influence of the maximum value of $P_i$, but further, this index contains the principal component elements needed to evaluate heavy metal pollution levels.

회동저수지 집수분지 내 주요 도로변 퇴적물의 중금속 함량은 토양오염 우려기준보다 낮게 나타났다 중금속함량이 높은 지역은 대부분 교통량이 많은 7번 국도이며 , 특히, 커브지점, 우수관, 과속단속 지점, 횡단보도 등에서 높은 함량을 보인다. 도로변 퇴적물 내 입도별 중금속 함량은 세립 입도($63{\mu}m$이하)일수록 높은 값을 보여주고 있으나, 총 함량은 조립 입도의 퇴적물($100{\mu}m$이상)에 의해 결정된다. 이는 우기 시에 유출수에 의해 세립 퇴적물이 주변 수계로 이동된 결과로 해석되며 수영강 및 회동저수지의 수질에 악영향을 미칠 수 있다. 따라서 교통량이 많은 7번 국도와 퇴적물이 쉽게 주변 수계로 유입될 수 있는 한물교와 같은 교량에서 퇴적물의 이동을 조절할 수 있는 적절한 처리시설이 요구된다.

Deposited road particles (DRPs) were analysed for heavy metal concentrations at four different roads in a city, Korea. The samples were collected using a roadway surface vacuum cleaning vehicle which was commonly used in collecting roadway surface particles. Six particle size ranges were analyzed separately for twelve heavy metal elements (Cd, Cr, Pb, Ni, Al, As, Co, Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn and Hg). At all sampling sites, the high concentration of the heavy metals occurred in the <74um particle size range, which conventional roadway cleaning vehicles do not remove efficiently. The Pb concentration significantly increased with decreasing particle size of DRPs, and other toxic heavy metals (Cd, Cr and Ni) also showed similar results. The heavy metal concentrations in the smaller size fraction of DRPs is important because they are contaminants that are preferentially transported by road runoff during rainfall.

중금속이 곤충에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 빨간집모기(Culex pipiens pallens) 금속용액(Cu, Cd, Hg, Pb, Zn)에서 사육한 후 50% 치사농도($LC_{50}$) 용화시기, 총 지질함량, 지질조성, 총 단백질 함량변화를 측정하였다. 50% 치사농도($LC_{50}$)는 3령 유충으로 24시간 처리한 Hg 처리군에서 $0.45mg\;kg^{-1}$으로 나타나 다른 금속에 비해 독성이 강한 것으로 나타났고, 용화 시기는 처리군이 대조군(129시간)에 비해 지연되었으며 Cd가 처리군 중 273시간으로 가장 늦게 용화되었다. 중금속에 노출된 모기시료에서 총 여섯 종류의 지질 band가 분리되었으며, 이 중 5종의 지질이 동정되었다(phospholipid, cholesterol, fatty acid, triglyceride, cholesterol ester). 모든 처리군의 총 지질함량은 대조군에 비해 감소하였다. 또한, 대조군의 단백질 함량($0.51mg\;ind.^{-1}$)이 처리군의 단백질 함량에 비해 높게 나타났으며, 처리군 중 Hg과 Cd을 처리한 유충의 단백질 함량이 매우 낮게 나타났다. 결론적으로 중금속이 처리된 용액에서 사육된 모기유충은 오염된 환경에 의한 먹이 섭취의 장애 및 중금속의 독성으로 인해 단백질 함량과 지질의 감소가 일어나 발육이 느려지고 용화시기가 길어지는 것으로 생각되며 이는 중금속에 의한 체내 물질대사의 변화를 의미한다. 이러한 결과는 중금속 오염이 모기의 생존과 성장을 억제시켜 모기 개체군 크기에 영향을 줄 것을 나타내며, 추후 연구를 통해 모기의 생육정도를 이용한 오염도 측정에 활용이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.
