The chemical forms of Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn were analysed by sequential extraction technique to evaluate the effects of drying and heating of dredged sediments from Lake Chungcho. The most abundant fraction of Cd, Cu, and Zn in the wet and untreated sediment was organic/sulfidic fraction that is state in reducing environment such as the bottom condition of Lake Chungcho, while Pb dominated in residual fraction. This means that the source of Cd, Cu, and Zn in the Chungcho lake sediment is related to the organic degradation and Pb to the erosion from surrounding rocks. With drying and oxidation by dredging, heating treatment, and disposal of the lake sediment, the chemical forms of studied metals changed greatly from organic/sulfidic fraction to adsorbed and reducible fractions which are more labile in oxygenated environment. Organic/sulfidic fraction of Cd, Cu and Pb in the wet sediment was transformed with drying and heating treatments to the labile ones like adsorbed and reducible fraction, but Zn to carbonate and reducible fraction. Heating of the sediment at $320^{\circ}C$ greatly increased the labile fraction of Cd and Cu, while that at $105^{\circ}C$ for Pb and Zn. It is believed that the increase in labile forms of heavy metals in the sediments by drying and heating is caused by the contact with oxygen during drying and heating and by the increase of pH of the pore water at the expense of organic/sulfidic fraction. It is concluded that the drying and oxidation currently used in the treatment of dredged sediment can increase labile forms of heavy metals in the sediment, and the potential of the metal availability from the sediment.

To evaluate the organic matter and trace metal pollution in intertidal sediment of the coastal zone, various geochemical parameters (grain size, ignition loss [IL], chemical oxygen demand [COD], acid volatile sulfide [AVS], and metals [Al, Fe, Cu, Pb, Zn, Cd, Cr, Mn, Hg, and As]) were measured for the intertidal surface sediment of the mainland and islands between Mokpo and Haenam in the southwestern coast of Korea. The surface sediments consist mainly of finer sediments, such as mud and silt. The concentrations of IL, COD, and trace metals in intertidal sediment were relatively high in the shoreline of the mainland than in that of islands and those in some stations exceeded the sediment quality guidelines (SQGs). Moreover, the concentrations of IL, COD, and trace metals (except As) in sediment showed relatively good positive correlations with mean grain size, indicating that the concentrations of organic matter and trace metals in intertidal sediment of the study region are dependent on grain size of sediment. Pollution evaluation for trace metals using geochemical assessment techniques, such as enrichment factor, geoaccumulation index, and SQGs, suggested that the intertidal sediments in the study region show light pollution with Cr and moderate pollution with As. More extensive interdisciplinary studies are required to determine the potential causes of As pollution in intertidal sediment.

Biogeochemical cycling of organic carbon is quantitatively partitioned in terms of 1) flux to the ocean bottom, 2) benthic utilization at or near the sediment-water interface, 3) remineralization and 4) burial within sediments, by making an independent determination for each component process from a single coastal site in Kwangyang Bay. The partitioning suggests that the benthic utilization at or near the sediment-water interface is the major mode of organic carbon cycling at the site. The benthic utilization takes 61.8% (441.6 gCm$^{-2}$ yr $^{-1}$) of the total near-bottem organic carbon flux, 714.6 gCm $^{-2}$yr$^{-1}$, and far exceeds the remineralization of organic carbon within the sediments which amounts only to 6% (41.24 gCm$^{-2}$yr$^{-1}$) of the total near-bottom flux. The residence time is about 1.6 years for the sedimentary metabolic organic carbon in the upper 45 cm. The dominant partitioning of the benthic utilization in the carbon budget suggests that most of labile organic carbons are consumed at or near the sediment-water interface and are left over to the sediment column by significantly diminished amounts.

This study was conducted June 2011 at Gamo Lagoon, after tsunami of March 2011, to estimate food sources and utilization. The results show that the tsunami affected the sediment properties by changing the physical environmental alterations. The fatty acids of the gut content of Nuttallia olivacea mostly comprised the same organic matter found in the sediment. Fatty acids in the tissues showed mainly diatoms, bacteria, and dinoflagellates. That is, most of the food sources (i.e., diatoms, bacteria, dinoflagellates, macroalgae, and terrestrial organic matter) probably pass through the digestive system unharmed; however, terrestrial organic matter, which is refractory to biochemical degradation, indicated a different assimilation trend between the gut content and the tissue. This result suggests that input of labile organic matter from the sediment may control selective metabolism in N. olivacea. From these results, although the physical environment of sediment characteristics by tsunami changed, the food utilization of N. olivacea suggested a better assimilation of selected components from the gut content, irrespective of physical alteration.

We measured the concentrations of various geochemical parameters [grain size, ignition loss (IL), chemical oxygen demand (COD), acid volatile sulfide (AVS), and trace metals (Fe, Cu, Cd, Pb, Cr, Mn, As, Zn, and Hg)] in the surface sediments of two intertidal oyster Crassostrea gigas farming areas (Iwon and Mongsan tidal flats) on the Taean Peninsula, Korea, to evaluate the pollution level of organic matter and trace metals in sediment. The intertidal sediments in the study region comprise mostly sand with a mean grain size of 2.5-3.5 Ø. The concentrations of IL, COD, AVS, and trace metals in the sediment of two study regions were either similar or lower in oyster farming areas relative to non-farming areas, apparently due to biological uptake or physical and biological sediment reworking. Based on the results for the pollution evaluation of organic matter and trace metals derived from sediment quality guidelines, enrichment factor, and geoaccumulation index, our results suggest that the sediment in these two intertidal oyster farming regions is not polluted by organic matter and trace metals.

We evaluated contamination with organic matter and trace metals by analyzing grain size, ignition loss (IL), chemical oxygen demand (COD), acid volatile sulfide (AVS), and trace metals (Al, Fe, Cu, Pb, Zn, Cd, Ni, Cr, Mn, Hg, and As) in surface sediments at 28 stations around the Geum River estuary in July 2008. The surface sediments in the estuary were mainly composed of coarse sediment (sand and muddy sand), with mean grain size (Mz) ranging between $2-4{\O}$. The high concentrations of IL, COD, and trace metals were mainly found at stations in front of the Gusan outer port and industrial complex, and near the Seocheon coast with relatively fine sediments. In addition, the concentrations of IL and all trace metals, except Pb and As, showed good positive correlations with Mz, indicating that the concentrations of organic matter and trace metals were mainly dependent on sediment grain size. The concentrations of COD, AVS, and trace metals in most sediments did not exceed the sediment quality guideline (SQGs). Although the sediments in the study region are not polluted with organic matter and trace metals, there are many point sources of pollutants, such as Gusan port and industrial complex, Janghang refinery, and a thermoelectric power plant around the Geum River estuary. Thus, the management of coastal environments through periodic monitoring of organic matter and trace metals is required in the future.

Analytical method of benzophenone (BP) in sediment and soil was developed by gas chromatography/mass selective detector/selected ion monitoring (GC/MSD/SIM). The ultrasonic extraction of US EPA (method 3550B) method and liquid-liquid extraction for sediment and soil samples were used for the analysis of BP from sediment and soil. BP was extracted with n-hexane. Organic layer was washed with 5% sodium chloride solution. 1∼2 l of the concentrated solution of organic layer was applied to GC/MSD. The retention time of BP peak was 11.10 min. Recovery (％) of BP by ultrasonication from sediment and soil samples was 96.0∼100.6％ and 40.0∼83.0％, respectively. Recovery of BP by liquid-liquid extraction was 51∼59％ in soil samples. The detection limit of BP in sediment and soil samples were determined to 0.1 ng/g.

본 연구는 경기만 표층 퇴적물의 지화학적 특징과 입도분포와의 관계를 조사하기 위해서 수행되었다. 1995년 12월에 채집한 총 90 개 퇴적물 시료를 대상으로 입도분포, 유기탄소와 중금속 함량(Al, Fe, Mn, V, Co, Ni, Cr, Zn, Cu)을 분석하였다. 또한 1981년에 조사된 자료와 비교함으로써 그 동안의 변화를 파악하고자 하였다. 퇴적물 입자의 크기는 몇몇 지역에서 1981년과는 다른 양상을 보였다. 1994년에 완공된 시화방조제 부근의 퇴적물은 이전에 비해서 세립해졌다. 공항건설을 위한 매립공사가 진행되고 있는 영종도 부근의 퇴적물의 경우 세립한 퇴적상에서 혼합 퇴적상으로 변하였다. 유기물과 중금속 함량은 전반적으로 입도에 의존적인 분포를 보이고 있지만, 인천북항의 퇴적물에서는 입도와 무관하게 유기물과 Ni, Cr, Zn 그리고 Cu 등의 중금속이 높은 농도로 농축되어 있었다.

본 연구의 목적은 신두리 갯벌 퇴적물의 유기물 기원을 추정하는 것이다. 이를 위해 갯벌의 3지점(Stn. A, B, C)에서 입도, 유기물 함량, C/N비 및 탄소와 질소 안정동위원소를 측정하였다. 그 결과, 퇴적물의 공간적 변화에서 유기물은 퇴적물 미립자 함량과 양의 상관관계가 있음을 보여주었다. 모래 갯벌인 지점 A에서는 해양 미립자 유기물(해양 POM)과 어류 양식장 미립자 유기물(어류 양식장 POM)에서 비롯된 유기물의 퇴적 특성을 보였고, 펄 갯벌인 지점 C에서는 육상식물(TP)과 저서미세조류(BMA)의 유기물 퇴적 특성을 보였다. 한편 혼합갯벌인 지점 B에서는 지점 A와 지점 C 중간적인 해양 POM과 저서미세조류의 영향을 받고 있었다. 또한 퇴적물 내 유기물의 양과 기원은 공간적 변화에 의존하며 그 요인은 조사지점간의 차이가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 특히, 지점 C의 퇴적물은 육상유기물과 펄 미립자(< 63 ㎛)로 높은 TOC 농도를 보였다. 이러한 사실은 미립자 함량과 유기물질이 지점 C의 퇴적환경 조건에 영향을 미치는 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구에서는 양산 신불산 고층습원인 달포늪 퇴적물의 입도, 주상도 및 유기물함량을 분석하여 퇴적물 입도와 종류에 따른 유기물함량의 상관성을 규명하였다. 연구지역인 달포늪은 3개 습지로 구성되어 있으며, 습지면적은 약 $31,295m^2$ 이다. 달포늪 퇴적물의 입도분석은 7개 지점(습지A 3개, 습지B 3개 및 습지C 1개)에서 채취된 시료를 이용하였으며, 건식체분석과 피펫분석이 수행되었다. 입도분석 의하면 퇴적물 입도는 습지의 가장자리로 갈수록 크고, 습지A > 습지C > 습지B의 순으로 나타났다. 습지A와 습지B의 장축 및 단축과 습지C의 장축 방향에서 수평거리별 시추조사가 수행되었다. 습지A의 장축에서는 점토질 이탄층이 지표면하 심도 10~90cm 정도로 분포하고 있으며, 습지 중앙부인 수평거리 100 m 지점에서 지표면하 심도 90 cm로서 가장 두꺼웠다. 습지B에서는 점토질 이탄층의 지표면하 심도가 27 cm 이하로서 습지로서의 수명이 다해가고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 습지C는 규모가 적어 퇴적물의 조성이 단순하였으며, 점토질 이탄층이 지표면하 심도 10~34 cm 정도에 분포하고 있다. 달포늪에서 시추조사에 의해 채취된 퇴적물을 10 cm 간격으로 절단하여 유기물함량을 분석하였다. 습지A 퇴적물에서는 지표면하 심도 70 cm 정도까지 유기물함량이 40% 이상인 것으로 나타났으며, 습지C 퇴적물에서도 지표면하 심도 10 cm 정도까지는 습지A와 유사하였으나 지표면하 심도가 30 cm 이상인 깊이에서는 20% 이내의 유기물함량을 보였다. 습지B는 지표면하 부근에서의 유기물함량이 40% 정도로서 가장 낮게 나타났다. 3개 습지 모두 지표면에 근접한 점토질 이탄층에서의 유기물함량이 높게 나타났으며, 이는 점토질 이탄층의 입도가 세립질이며 또한 식생의 사체를 통해 유기물이 지속적으로 공급되기 때문이다. 달포늪 퇴적물의 유기물함량은 습지A > 습지C > 습지B의 순으로 나타났으며, 이는 퇴적물 내 점토질 이탄층의 형성 정도에 의한 것이다. 본 연구를 통해 달포늪 퇴적물의 유기물함량은 퇴적물의 입도와 상부 식생에 의해 지배되고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.
