A comprehensive quality survey for PCDDs/PCDFs and coplanar PCBs as well as heavy metals (Cu, Zn, Cd and Pb) in sediments has been investigated in August 2006, Korea. Monitoring was undertaken at five streams representing different surrounding environments throughout Juwang and Gapyeong streams (reference sites), Jungrang stream (dense population site), Ansan stream (mixed small population and industrial site), and Siheung stream (heavy industrial site). The levels of heavy metal in samples were found to be significantly higher in sediment from Siheung stream compared to those of other stream sites. The heavy metal concentrations (dry weight basis) in sediment from Siheung stream were as follows; Cd (3.7 ${\mu}g$/g), Pb (1,295 ${\mu}g$/g), Cu (713.4 ${\mu}g$/g) and Zn (358.1 ${\mu}g$/g). Among 12 coplanar PCBs and 17 PCDDs/PCDFs selected as target compounds in this study, PCB (IUPAC no. 118) and OCDD were the most abundant congeners found in all sediment samples, followed by 1,2,3,4,6,7,8-HpCDD, OCDF and 1,2,3,4,6,7,8HpCDF as well as PCB (IUPAC no. 105). These results were shown to be in the same trend as the sediment samples of other countries. The levels of PCDDs/PCDFs/coplanar PCBs in sediment samples were expressed as concentrations and WHO- TEQ values. The PCDDs/PCDFs/coplanar PCBs concentrations and their WHO-TEQ values in sediment from Siheung stream were remarkably high. The levels detected were 788.16 pg/g and 36.080 pg WHO-TEQ/g dry weight for PCDDs/ PCDFs and 314 pg/g and 0.4189 pg WHO-TEQ/g dry weight for coplanar PCBs, respectively, beyond the safety level of sediment value 20 pg WHO-TEQ/g. Sediment samples of the five streams were also monitored by sensitive biomarkers using insect immune responses: hemocyte-spreading behavior and immune-associated enzyme activities of phospholipase A$_2$ (PLA$_2$) and phenoloxidase. Organic extracts of Siheung and Jungrang sediments significantly interfered with the hemocytespreading behavior, whereas those of Ansan, Gapyeong, and Juwang did not. These organic extracts did not inhibit the PLA$_2$ and phenoloxidase activities. However, phenoloxidase was highly susceptible to exposure to aqueous extracts in all site sediments. In comparison, PLA$_2$ activities of the hemocytes were significantly inhibited only by aqueous extracts of Siheung, Jungrang, and Gapyeong sediments, but not by those of Ansan and Juwang. Despite some disparity between bioand chemical monitoring results, the biomarkers can be recommended as a device warning the contamination of biohazard environmental chemicals because of a fast and inexpensive detection method.

The water quality of Lake Shihwa had been rapidly deteriorating since 1994 due to wastewater input from the watersheds, limited water circulation and the lack of a wastewater treatment policy. In 2000, the government decided to open the tidal embankment and make a comprehensive management plan to improve the water quality, especially inflowing stream water around Shihwa and Banwol industrial complex. However, the water quality and microbial community have not as yet been fully evaluated. The purpose of this study is to investigate the influent water quality around the industrial area based on chemical and biological analysis, and collected surface water sample from the Siheung Stream, up-stream to down-stream through the industrial complex, Samples were collected in July 2009. The results show that the downstream site near the industrial complex had higher concentrations of heavy metals (Cu, Mn, Fe, Mg, and Zn) and organic matter than upstream sites. A combination of DGGE (Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis) gels, lists of K-WQI (Korean Water Quality Index), cluster analysis, MDS (Multi-Dimensional Scaling) and PCA (Principal Component Analysis) has demonstrated clear clustering between Siheung stream 3 and 4 and with a high similarity and detected metal reducing bacteria (Shewanella spp.) and biodegrading bacteria (Acinetobacter spp.). These results suggest that use of both chemical and microbiological marker would be useful to fully evaluate the water quality.

A comprehensive quality survey for heavy metals, organophosphorous and organochlorine residual pesticides, and coplanar PCBs in samples such as water, sediments and soils as well as spiders has been implemented. The samples were undertaken at nine stream sites and their vicinity in August 2006, representing different surrounding environments. The levels of PCBs were expressed as concentrations and WHO-TEFs. Among 12 coplanar PCBs as target compounds in this study, 2,3', 4,4', 5-PentaCB (IUPAC # 118) was the congener with the highest concentration. The total concentrations and TEF values of coplanar PCBs in Siheung stream sediment (heavy industrial complex site located in Ansan city) were 3915.50 pg/g and 0.8366 pg-TEQ/g on a dry weight basis, respectively. Such levels were around 40 times higher compared to sediment from Gapyung stream (green site located in the upper of Myunggi mountain). It is probably due to the direct input of PCBs trom PCBs treatment materials. Organophosphorous (EPN, dementon-s-methyl, diazinon, parathion, and phenthoate) and organochlorine (alpha-BHC, aldrin, 4,4'-DDT, 4,4'-DDE, endosulfan alpha and etc.) pesticides were not detected above 5 ppb of detection limits. The concentrations of Cu and Cd in water and sediment samples from Siheung stream were 44.11 and $0.17ug/m\ell$ and $713.42{\mu}g/g$ and $3.73{\mu}g/g$, respectively, which contained $20\sim40$ times higher concentrations than those from Gapyung stream. In addition to the water and sediment samples, the levels of heavy metals in spider from designated sampling sites were also determined. Heavy metals in spider collected near Siheung stream was appeared to be equivalent and/or a little higher levels with respect to other spiders. Furthermore, the ratio of relative heavy metals (Cu, Cd, and Pb) in spider from each stream site showed a correlation as similar as that of heavy metals in soil samples.

시흥시 토지이용유형별 야생조류 군집 특성을 분석하기 위하여 43개조사구를 선정하여 2009년 3월부터 2010년 2월까지 계절별로 군집구조 조사를 실시하였다. 조사는 정점조사법을 활용하였으며 군집분류는 TWINSPAN과 DCA기법을 활용하였다. 군집분류 결과 4개의 군집으로 분류되었으며 첫 번째 분류는 흰뺨검둥오리(Anas poecilorhyncha), 중대백로(Egretta alba)와 같은 물새류를 식별종으로 하여 나뉘어졌다. 분류된 2개 군집은 각각 논병아리(Tachybaptus ruficollis)와 참새(Passer montanus)를 식별종으로 다시 분류되어 총 4개의 군집으로 분류되었다. 분류된 군집은 토지 이용유형에 따라 나뉘어졌으며, 군집 I은 산림지역, 군집 II는 시가화지역과 반자연지역 일부(하천, 논습지)를 포함하였다. 군집 III은 하천과 논습지, 군집 IV는 저수지이었다. 하천과 논습지는 동일 토지이용유형이 서로 다른 군집으로 구분되었으나, 논습지와 주변 하천 규모에 따라 차이가 나타나고 있어 동일 토지이용유형의 면적 크기가 군집의 종 구성에 영향을 미침을 확인하였다. 종다양도지수는 군집 III(대규모 논습지와 주변 하천)이 가장 높았고, 군집 IV가 낮았다. 최대종다양도나 균등도도 군집 III이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 연구결과, 비오톱 유형화의 경우 도심 내 논습지 및 도시공원의 규모, 하천변의 토지이용형태를 고려할 경우 최소면적기준의 적용이 필요하였다.

The project of Cheonggyecheon revived the 5.8 kilometer stream and it removed the cover of stream and Cheonggye elevated road. It was begin October of 2003 and completed October of 2005. The purpose of this study is to analyze the air pollution change of Cheonggyecheon area and neighboring area from before and after the project. The change of concentration is compared with an air monitoring station data and measurement data. The analyzed pollutants are $NO_2$, $PM_{10}$, heavy metal, VOC which are measured at Cheonggyecheon and neighboring area. As the results, $NO_2$ concentration shows 10 % decreases in Cheonggyecheon area and neighboring area shows 16 % decreases by Chenoggyecheon restoration, and $PM_{10}$ concentration shows 15 % decreases in Cheonggyecheon area and neighboring area shows 16 % increases. One of VOC, benzene is increased in Cheonggyecheon area compared with neighboring area but Toluene, Ethylbenzene, m+p Xylene increased in neighboring area. After the Cheonggyecheon restoration, The heavy metals are not shows the improvement, but $PM_{10}$ and $NO_2$ concentration improved more than the changes of neighboring area. These improvements of pollution due to reduction of transportation and clearing of elevated road by Cheonggyecheon restoration project.

중금속류의 유관산업의 증대로 부수적으로 배출되는 중금속의 농경지오염도 증가되는 경향에 있는바, 공업단지주변의 답토양에 함유된 구리, 아연, 납, 카드뮴을 원자흡광분석법으로 정량하였다. 공시토양의 채취지역은 경인지방과 전북(전주 및 이리공단)으로 국한했는데 이 dusr에서 얻은 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 각종 중금속 공히 시흥군 서면지역(Cu : 23.09 ppm, Zn : 113.4 ppm, Pb : 86.3 ppm, Cd : 2.05 ppm)의 함량이 가장 높고, 안양천주변(Cu : 8.5 ppm, Zn : 16.6 ppm, Pb = 7.9 ppm, Cd : 0.33 ppm) , 김포${\cdot}$부천(Cu : 7.4ppm, Zn : 8.2 ppm, Pb : 8.5 ppm, Cd : 0.14 ppm)의 순으로 그 함량이 낮았으며, 시흥군서면의 경우는 인근에 소재했든 아연광산의 영향으로 높은 수치를 나타낸 것으로 보며, 전주와 이리지역은 자연부존량의 최소치에 근사할 정도의 매우 낮은 함량이었다. 2. 안양천변과 인접한 경작지는 하류에 갈수록 중금속류의 함량이 높아지는 경향이 있으며, 특히 구로공단지역은 가장 높았다. 3. 경인${\cdot}$김포지역은 부평수출공단지역이 가장 높은 함량이고, 한강을 농업용수원으로 이용하는 계양면이 가장 낮았으며, 고촌면의 상류의 부평공단경수가 오염되어 계양면보다 높은 경향을 나타낸 것으로 보아진다. 4. 각종 중금속류의 함량분포를 보면, Cu, Zn, Pb는 시흥군서면외는 대부분 10 ppm 미만$(60\~80\%)$이며, Cd는 0.2 ppm 미만이 대부분을 차지하고 있는데, 이같은 함량은 수도의 생육장해농도와 비교할 때 극히 낮은 안전한 함량이었는데, 비교적 높은 함량을 보인 시흥군서면지역은 앞으로의 축적상태를 단속하여 구명할 필요가 있다고 본다.
