  • 본 연구에서는 중금속의 생태독성자료를 통해 준설토의 육상 재활용을 위한 screening-level 생태위해도 평가를 수행하였다. 대상 중금속 6종(Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb, Cr, Ni)의 독성자료는 USEPA의 ECOTOX를 통해 수집하였으며, 선별과정을 거쳐 생태위해도 평가에 사용하였다. 각 중금속의 예측무영향농도는 독성자료의 획득이 가능한 육상 수용체의 종 수에 따라 확률론적 방법(Cu, Zn, Cd)과 결정론적 방법(Pb, Cr, Ni)을 통해 도출하였다. 현장 채취 준설토에서 발견되는 중금속 실제오염농도와 예측무영향농도와의 비교를 통해 생태위해도를 계산하였으며 Cu, Zn, Cr, Pb, Ni의 위해도가 1을 초과하여 생태독성학적 위해도가 존재할 수 있는 가능성을 확인하였다. 따라서 재활용 부지의 생태위해도를 고려하였을 때 해당 중금속 오염 준설토를 활용하기 위해서는 중금속 정화 또는 보다 높은 수준의 생태 위해도평가가 선행되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

  • 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.

  • Hundreds of contaminated sites have been generated due to the past mismagement of toxic substances, the lack of adequate environmental controls and ignorance of the potential environmental impacts of general activities in Canada. The general public, industry and governments have been addressing the contaminated sites with a number of cleanup responses. Environmental protection and remediation have become top priorities for the public and private sectors alike in Canada. Between the late 1980s and the early 1990s, the Canadian Environmental Protection Act and Canada's Green Plan were followed by provincial and territorial laws and policies to regulate contaminated sites. The National Contaminated Site Remediation Program(NCSRP) was initiated in 1989. It has been administered through bilateral agreements between the federal and participating provincial/territorial governments. They have committed a total of $250 million toward orphan site cleanup and technology development/demonstration over a five year period. The federal government has committed an additional $25 million to assess contaminated sites on federal crown land. Over 40 orphan high-risk contaminated sites, over 230 federal sites and over 35 technology development/demonstration projects have been addressed. The Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment has developed a series of guidance documents to ensure a consistent and successful implementation of the Program. The management/regulation scheme of contaminated sites generally consists of: 1) identifying and investigating sites, 2) determining site contamination, 3) recognizing responsibility and liability, 4) assessing priority for remediation, 5) activation, evaluation and implementing remediation options, and 6) documenting remediation completion. The NCSRP supported the successful development/demonstration of a wide range of innovative remedial technologies. They are related to stabilization/solidification, thermal washing/flushing, advanced oxidation, sonics, and groundwater contaminated with hydrocarbons, PAHS, PCBs, heavy metals, and other hazardous pollutants in a variety of site environments.

  • The actively soil pollution by the toxic heavy-metals like the arsenic, cadmium, lead due to the industrialization and economic activity. The uses the electrokinetic remediation of contaminated soil has many researches against the fine soil having a small size in the on going. However, it is the actual condition which the research result that is not effective due to the low surface charge of the particle and high permeability shows in the electrokinetic remediation in comparison with the fine soil in the case of the sandy soil in which the particle size is large. In this research, the electrokinetic remediation and ultrasonic wave fetch strategy is compound applied against the sandy soil polluted by the arsenic, cadmium, and lead removal efficiency of the sandy soil through the comparison with the existing electrokinetic remediation tries to be evaluated. First of all, desorption of contaminants in soil by ultrasonic extraction in the Pre-Test conducted to see desorption effective 5~15%. After that, By conducted Batch-Test results frequency output century 200 Khz, reaction time 30 min, contaminated soil used in experiment was 500 g. Removal efficiency of arsenic, cadmium, lead are 25.55%, 8.01%, 34.90%. But, As, Cd, Pb remediation efficiency less than 1% in EK1(control group).

  • Several metalliferous and coal mines, including Seojin and Okdong located at the Kangwon province, were abandoned or closed since 1989 due to the mining industry promotion policy and thus disposed an enormous amount of mining wastes without a proper treatment facilities, resulting in water and soil pollution in the downstream areas. However, no quantitative assessment was made on soil and water pollution by the transport of mining wastes such as acid mine drainage, mine tailing, and rocky waste. In this research, total and fractional concentrations of heavy metals in mining wastes were analyzed and accordingly the degree of water and soil pollutions in the stream area were quantitatively assessed employing the several pollution indices. Concentrations of Ni, Cd, and Pb in soils near the abandoned coal mine areas were 1,240.0, 25.0 and 1,093.0 mg/kg, respectively, and these concentrations were higher than those in soils near the closed metalliferous mine areas. Also Cu concentrations in soils near the tailing dams were about 1967 mg/kg, which is considered as very polluted level. Results demonstrated that soil at the abandoned mine areas were highly contaminated by AMO, tailing, and effluents of the mining wastes. Therefore, a prompt countermeasure on the mining waste treatment and remediation of the codntaminated water and soil should be made to the abandoned or closed metalliferous and coal mines located at the abandoned mine area.

  • The study area has been contaminated with explosive materials and heavy metals for several decades. For the design of the pump and treat remediation method, groundwater flow before and during groundwater pumping in a contaminated aquifer system was simulated, calibrated, and predicted using a generalized multidimensional hydrological numerical model. A three-dimensional geologic formation model representing the geology, hydrogeology, and topography of the aquifer system was established. A steady-state numerical simulation with model calibration was performed to obtain initial steady-state spatial distributions of groundwater flow and groundwater table in the aquifer system before groundwater pumping, and its results were illustrated and analyzed. A series of transient-state numerical simulations were then performed during groundwater pumping with the four different pumping rates at a potential location of the pumping well. Its results are illustrated and analyzed to provide primary reference data for the pump and treat remediation method. The results of both steady-state and transient-state numerical simulations show that the spatial distribution and properties of the geologic media and the topography have significant effects on the groundwater flow and thus depression zone.

  • 본 연구에서는 달천광산 토양 내 중금속의 함량을 알아보고 지화학적인 형태를 알아보고자 달천광산의 광미와 인근 저수지의 토양을 채취하여 화학분석법(전함량분석, 연속추출분석)을 적용하였다. 분석결과 달천광산 토양 내 중금속은 철 > 비소 >구리 > 납 > 크롬 순으로 높은 값을 보이며 특히 $63\;{\mu}m$ 이하의 토양에서 가장 높게 나타나 As, Cu, Pb 등 유해 중금속의 거동이 미립질 토양을 구성하는 광물과 연관되어 있음을 알려주었다. 연속추출 분석 결과, 인근 저수지 토양의 경우, $63\;{\mu}m$ 이하의 입도에저 철 > 납 > 구리 > 비소 > 크롬의 순으로 나타났다. 달천랑산 광미에서 측정된 비소는 양이온교환 형태로 존재하는 비율이 다른 형태에 비하여 가장 높은 값을 보이고 따라서 상대적으로 이동이 훨씬 용이한 것으로 추정된다. 광미와 인근 저수지의 토양 내 포함된 중금속의 전함량과 더불어 물리 화학적 결합상태에 따른 중금속의 존재형태를 규명하는 것은 중금속으로 오염된 토양을 복원하기 위한 기초 자료로 매우 중요하다. 더 나아가서 As와 Cr과 같은 독성 유해중금속의 화학종에 따른 유해성 평가를 위한 기초자료로 중요성이 있으며 지표수 및 지하수 환경오염의 정밀 연구를 위해 필수적이다.

  • 시화호 저서생태계의 비용효과적 복원을 위한 퇴적토 관리 대안을 제시하기 위하여 시화호 내 오염퇴적물의 현황 및 저서생태계 특성에 대한 조사와 퇴적물 관리 기준과 사례 연구가 수행되었다. 미국해양대기청의 퇴적물환경권고기준에 따라 시화호 퇴적토의 중금속 오염도를 평가한 결과 13개 조사지점 중 반월/시화 산단과 인접해 있는 4개 지점의 퇴적토가 2개 이상의 중금속에서 ERL (Effects Range Low : 저서생물 10%에 악영향을 끼칠 수 있는 농도)을 초과하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 미국 워싱턴 주와 네덜란드에서 정하고 있는 퇴적토 제거기준은 초과하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 반면에 유기물 및 황화물 오염의 관점에서 개발된 일본 나고야항과 동경만/요코하마만의 퇴적물 제거기준에 의하면 시화호 표층 퇴적물 대부분이 제거대상인 것으로 나타났다. 한편 저서생물의 조사결과 Polydora ligni (얼굴갯지렁이)와 Musculista senhousia (종밋)와 같은 오염지시종이 우점종으로 출현하였으며, 이로 미루어 유기물 오염에 의한 여름철 용존산소 고갈 및 황화수소 생성등이 일반적인 저서생물의 건강한 성장을 크게 저해하는 것으로 판단되었다. 유기물, 황화물 및 중금속과 오염퇴적토가 주변지역에 미치는 영향을 종합적으로 고려한 결과 일부 지역은 우선적으로 퇴적토 정화가 이루어져야 할 것으로 판단되었다.

  • BACKGROUND: Excessive metals in the soil have become one of the most significant environmental problems. Phytoremediation has received considerable attention as a method for restoring the contaminated soils. The microbes having remarkable metal tolerance and plant growth-promoting abilities could also play a significant role in remediation of metal-contaminated soils, because bioaugmentation with such microbes could promote phytoextraction of metals. Therefore, the present study was focused on evaluating the phytoextraction of heavy metals (Co, Pb and Zn) in Helianthus annuus (sunflower) induced by bioaugmentation of a phosphate solubilizing bacterium. METHODS AND RESULTS: A phosphate solubilizing bacterium was isolated from metal-contaminated soils based on the greater halo size (>3 mm) with solid NBRIP agar medium containing 10 g glucose, 5 g $Ca_3(PO_4)_2$, 5 g $MgCl_2{\cdot}6H_2O$, 0.25 g $MgSO_4.7H_2O$, 0.2 g KCl, 0.1 g $(NH_4)_2SO_4$ in 1 L distilled water. Isolated bacterial strain was assessed for their resistance to heavy metals; $CoCl_2.6H_2O$, $2PbCO_3.Pb(OH)_2$, and $ZnCl_2$ at various concentrations ranging from $100-400{\mu}g/mL$ (Co, Pb and Zn) using the agar dilution method. A pot experiment was conducted with aqueous solutions of different heavy metals (Co, Pb and Zn) to assess the effect of bacterial strain on growth and metal uptake by Helianthus annuus (sunflower). The impact of bacterial inoculation on the mobility of metals in soil was investigated under laboratory conditions with 50 mL scaled polypropylene centrifuge tubes. The metal contents in the filtrate of plant extracts were determined using an atomic absorption spectrophotometer (Perkinelmer, Aanalyst 800, USA). CONCLUSION: Inoculation with Enterobacter ludwigii PSB 28 resulted in increased shoot and root biomass and enhanced accumulation of Co, Pb and Zn in Helianthus annuus plants. The strain was found to be capable of promoting metal translocation from the roots to the shoots of H. annuus. Therefore, Enterobacter ludwigii PSB 28 could be identified as an effective promoter of phytoextraction of Co, Pb and Zn from metal-contaminated soils.
