이 연구는 폐금·은광산 주변의 토양과 수계에서 비소(As), 카드뮴(Cd), 구리(Cu), 납(Pb), 안티모니(Sb), 아연(Zn)의 지구화학적 분산 특성을 확인하였다. 토양시료 내 각 원소의 지구화학적 오염도는 enrichment factor (EF), geoaccumulation index (Igeo), pollution load index (PLI)와 같은 지화학 지수를 이용해 평가하였다. 수계의 지구화학적 오염도는 광물찌꺼기 적치장에서부터 거리에 따른 중금속 및 황산염(SO₄^2-)의 농도 변화를 이용하여 평가하였다. 지화학 지수를 이용한 토양의 오염도 평가 결과 광산 및 광물찌꺼기 저장시설과 가까운 지역에서 As, Cd, Pb, Zn의 농축지수가 높게 나타났으며, Sb는 모든 토양시료에서 높은 농축지수를 보였다. 이러한 결과는 광산 활동으로 대표되는 인위적인 요인에 의해 주변의 토양으로 중금속의 분산이 진행되었음을 보여주는 결과이다. 수계에서 중금속 농도 및 SO₄^2-의 농도 변화를 확인한 결과 특정 지점에서 As, Cd, Zn, 그리고 SO₄^2- 농도의 이상점이 나타났으며, 거리에 따라 점차 각 원소의 농도가 감소하였다. 이는 수계의 오염이 광물찌꺼기 적치장과 그 인근의 황화광물의 풍화에 기인한 것을 의미한다. 조사를 수행한 지역에서는 과거에 중금속으로 오염된 토양의 복원사업이 진행되었지만, 그 이후에도 잠재적인 오염원인 광물찌꺼기 적치장 인근에서부터 오염이 다시 진행되고 있는 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 복원을 완료한 지역에서도 토양과 수질시료를 대상으로 지속적인 모니터링이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

Background: In order to evaluate the effect of pH, known as a critical factor for shaping the biogeographical microbial patterns in the studies by others, on the bacterial diversity, we selected two sites in a similar geographical location (site 1; north latitude 35.3, longitude 127.8, site 2; north latitude 35.2, longitude 129.2) and compared their soil bacterial diversity between them. The mountain soil at site 1 (Jiri National Park) represented naturally acidic but almost pollution free (pH 5.2) and that at site 2 was neutral but exposed to the pollutants due to the suburban location of a big city (pH 7.7). Methods: Metagenomic DNAs from soil bacteria were extracted and amplified by PCR with 27F/518R primers and pyrosequenced using Roche 454 GS FLX Titanium. Results: Bacterial phyla retrieved from the soil at site 1 were more diverse than those at site 2, and their bacterial compositions were quite different: Almost half of the phyla at site 1 were Proteobacteria (49 %), and the remaining phyla were attributed to 10 other phyla. By contrast, in the soil at site 2, four main phyla (Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Proteobacteria, and Cyanobacteria) composed 94 %; the remainder was attributed to two other phyla. Furthermore, when bacterial composition was examined on the order level, only two Burkholderiales and Rhizobiales were found at both sites. So depending on pH, the bacterial community in soil at site 1 differed from that at site 2, and although the acidic soil of site 1 represented a non-optimal pH for bacterial growth, the bacterial diversity, evenness, and richness at this site were higher than those found in the neutral pH soil at site 2. Conclusions: These results and the indices regarding diversity, richness, and evenness examined in this study indicate that pH alone might not play a main role for bacterial diversity in soil.

Several metalliferous and coal mines, including Myungjin, Seojin and Okdong located at the upper watershed of Okdong stream, were abandoned or closed since 1988 due to the mining industry promotion policy and thus disposed an enormous amount of mining wastes without a proper treatment facilities, resulting in water pollution in the downstream areas. AMD and waste effluents from the closed coal mines were very strongly acidic showing pH ranges of 2.7 to 4.5 and had a high level of total dissolved solid (TDS) showing the ranges of 1,030 to 1,947 mg/L. Also heavy metal concentrations in these samples such as Fe, Cu, Cd and anion such as sulfate were very high. These parameters of AMD and effluents were considered to be highly polluted as compared to those in the main stream area of the Okdong river and be major pollutants for water and soil in tile downstream area. Pollution indices of the surface water at the upper stream of Okdong river where AMD of the abandoned coal mines was flowed into main stream were in the ranges of 16.3 to 47.1. On the other hand, those at the mid stream where effluents from tailing dams and coal mines flowed into main stream were in tile ranges of 10.6 to 19.5. However, those at the lower stream were ranged from 10.6 to 14.9 These results indicated that mining wastes such as AMD and effluents from the closed mines were tile major source to water pollution at the Okdong stream areas.

We examined the effect of simultaneous application of phosphorus (P) and iron (Fe) on the phytotoxicity of lettuce in arsenic (As) contaminated soil using response surface methodology (RSM). To stabilize As and supply nutrient into soil, Fe and P were treated, respectively. Water soluble As and P was decreased by Fe application but increased by P application. Through phytotoxicity test, the result showed that only the addition of P affected lettuce root elongation even though both P and Fe were added. The correlation coefficients between root elongation and other indices indicated that the As content in the roots seemed to be the main reason that root growth was impeded. We could verify that the former result was not a passing phenomenon and Fe was necessarily needed to protect secondary pollution by exclusive usage of P fertilizer.

It is important to identify the contaminant sources and to evaluate the fate and transport of heavy metals to crops in agricultural lands. This study was conducted to evaluate metal sources and its transfer and accumulation to crop in agricultural soils. Pollution indices were calculated and multivariate analysis was performed to identify metal sources. To evaluate transfer and accumulation of metals to crops, the contents of phytoavailable metals were evaluated by using single extraction method and the correlation between metal content and soil properties was analyzed. Also the BCF was quantitatively evaluated for investigating the metal transition to each crop grown in the research area. As a result, Cr, Ni, and Co were expected to be mainly derived from geologic factors due to weathering of certain parent rocks. The content of nickel in soils of the research area was slightly higher than that of the concern level criteria based on total concentration, but the amount transferred and accumulated in the crops was actually low. Understanding the contamination characteristics by investigating the pollution sources of heavy metals and its transfer and accumulation to crops through various evaluation techniques could provide important information for proper management of the agricultural land.

Heavy metal pollution of agricultural soils affects land productivity and has impact on the quality of surrounding ecosystem. Soil microbial community parameters are used as reliable indices for assessing quality of agricultural lands under metal stress. This study investigated bacterial community structure of polluted and undisturbed paddy soils to elucidate soil factors that are related to alteration of bacterial communities under conditions of metal pollution. No obvious differences in the richness or diversity of bacterial communities were observed between samples from polluted and control areas. The bacterial communities of three locations were distinct from one another, and each location possessed distinctive set of bacterial phylotypes. The abundances of several phyla and genera differed significantly between study locations. Variation of bacterial community was mostly related to soil general properties at phylum level while at finer taxonomic levels concentrations of arsenic and lead were significant factors. According to results of bacterial community functional prediction, the soil bacterial communities of metal polluted locations were characterized by more abundant DNA replication and repair, translation, transcription and nucleotide metabolism pathway enzymes while amino acid and lipid metabolism as well as xenobiotic biodegradation potential was reduced.Our results suggest that the soil microbial communities had adapted to the elevated metal concentrations in the polluted soils as evidenced by changes in relative abundances of particular groups of microorganisms at different taxonomic resolution levels, and by altered functional potential of the microbial communities.

남한강 상류지역의 금속광산인 거도, 만정, 조일광산은 1988년 석탄광산합리화 사업과 더불어 폐광되었으며, 휴$\cdot$폐광된 이후 다량의 광산 폐기물을 방치하여 주변환경을 오염시키고 있는 실정이다. 그러나 광미, 폐석 등의 이동에 의한 주변의 토양오염에 대한 정량적 평가가 없기 때문에 이들 광산폐기물에 의한 오염정도를 확인하기 어렵다. 따라서 폐광된 거도, 만정, 조일 광산의 광산 폐석에 의한 수질 오염 가능성 평가를 위해 각 광산에서 폐석 시료를 채취하였으며, HCl 처리 농도에 따라 지화학적 농축 계수(Index of geoaccumulation), 중금속 존재 형태와 이동성에 관하여 조사하였다. 카드뮴, 납, 아연, 구리, 니켈 그리고 크롬의 지화학적 농축 계수는 각각 6, $4\~6,\;0\~6,\;4\~5$, 2, 0을 나타냈다. 광산 폐석에서 카드미뮴, 납, 아연, 구리의 지화학적 농축계수 분석을 통하여 이러한 지역이 상당한 오염 가능성을 알 수 있었다. 광산 폐석에서 중금속의 존재 형태는 구리의 경우 유기물 형태, 납은 탄산염 형태, 니켈과 아연은 잔류상 형태로 나타났다.
