Nickel is the one of potent environmental, the occupational pollutants and the classified human carcinogens. It is a serious hazard to human health, when the metal exposure. To prevent human diseases from the heavy metals, it is seemingly important that understanding of how nickel exerts their toxicity and carcinogenic effect at a molecular and a genomic level. The process of nickel absorption has been demonstrated as phagocytosis, iron channel and diffusion. Uptaked nickel has been suggested to induce carcinogenesis via two pathways, a direct DNA damaging pathway and an indirect DNA damaging pathway. The former was originated from the ability of metal to generate Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) and the reactive intermediates to interact with DNA directly. Ni-generated ROS or Nickel itself, interacts with DNAs and histones to cause DNA damage and chromosomal abnormality. The latter was originated from an indirect DNA damage via inhibition of DNA repair, or condensation and methylation of DNA. Cells have ability to protect from the genotoxic stresses by changing gene expression. Microarray analysis of the cells treated with nickel or nickel compounds, show the specific altered gene expression profile. For example, HIF-I (Hypoxia-Inducible Factor I) and p53 were well known as transcription factors, which are upregulated in response to stress and activated by both soluble and insoluble nickel compounds. The induction of these important transcription factors exert potent selective pressure and leading to cell transformation. Genes of metallothionein and family of heat shock proteins which have been known to play role in protection and damage control, were also induced by nickel treatment. These gene expressions may give us a clue to understand of the carcinogenesis mechanism of nickel. Further discussions on molecular and genomic, are need in order to understand the specific mechanism of nickel toxicity and carcinogenicity.

In order to evaluate the degree of air pollution, soils from 125 and 60points of main streets of Seoul and Daejeon, respectively, were sampled and analyzed for the contents of lead, copper, iron and zinc by nitric acid($HNO_3$) extraction followed by atomic absorption spectrophotometry during June and September, 1990. The Pb contents of Seoul and Daejeon were 350.2$\mu$g/g and 175.9$\mu$g/g, respectively, which were 14.5times and 7.3times respectively higher than the control(24.0). In Seoul, the commercial area gave the highest value followed by resdential and industrial areas in the decreasing order, while the order in Daejeon was Industrial, commercial and residential areas. The Cu contents in Seoul and Daejeon were very similar(236.6 and 234.6, respectively) each other, and about 11times higher than the control(20.9). The concentration was highest in industrial, followed by commercial and the lowest in residential areas in Seoul, while the order in Daejeon was industrial, residential and commercial areas. The Fe contents were 25716.5 in Seoul and 22838.6 in Daejeon, both being similar to the control value(22537.0). The value was highest in industrial and next in commercial areas and the lowest in residential area both in Seoul and Daejeon. The Zn contents in Seoul and Daejeon were 728.2 and 404.0, respectively, wihch were 6.3 and 3.6times higher than the control(113.3). The value was highest in commercial and next in industrial areas and the lowest in residental area in Seoul, while the order was industrial, residential and commercial areas in Daejeon. The heavy metal content was higher in the soil of main streets than that of minor streets in Seoul. The content of lead in Seoul was higher in the streets of Chongro-ku(525.9) and Chung-ku(684.8), the central area of the city which had a heavy traffic, than those in Nowon-ku(320.3) and Kwanak-ku(312.6) which had relatively less traffic crowd. The similar pattern was observed in the content of zinc; it was higher in Chongro-ku(1305.0) and Chung-ku(1335.4) than in Nowon-ku(489.1) and Kwanak-ku(569.8). In Daejeon, the contents of lead and zinc were decreasing as the distance from Daejeon Railroad Station increased : they were respectively 157.8 and 447.7 within 2km from the station, 157.6 and 235.7 with in 2-4km, and 63.5 and 156.2 within 4-6km and 58.7 and 142.2 within 6-8km.

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.

Sungnam city, as a major satellite town, is located in the southeast of Seoul. Atmospheric conditions are so stable that air pollutants from various emissions are tend to resist change because Sungnam city is located in the Namhansansung valley. The industrial distribution of Sungnam city are composed of various manufactories such as foods, fibers, chemicals, machinery and electronics etc. The heavy metal concentrations and size distribution are the most important parameters influencing among the way in which respirable suspended particulate matter interact with the human respiratory system. Respirable suspended particulate matter was collected on glass fiber filters from April 1993 to February 1994 according to particle size using Anderson sampler during 10 days per month at Sungnam city. 6 heavy metals, Fe, Zn, Pb Mn, Cu and Cd, were analyzed by particle size with atomic absorption spectrophotometry . The results could be summarized as follows: 1. The annual arithmetic mean concentration of total suspended particulate was 116.3$\mu $g/m$^{3}$ m', seasonal variation was the highest in spring season(196.5$\mu $g/m$^{3}$) and the lowest in Summer Season(72.9$\mu $g/m$^{3}$). 2. The ratio of airborne particulate concentrations respirable to nonrepairable( Res/Non- Res) of annual arithmetic mean value was 5.8'1, seasonal variation was highest in the spring season(6.3 : 1) and lowest in the summer season(4.6 : 1). 3. During the spring season the shape of the size distribution was trimodal which showed peaks at 3 size groups, which were below of 0.43$\mu $m, 3.3∼4.7$\mu $m and above of 11.0$\mu $g/m$^{3}$ respectively. 4. Respirable suspended particulate matter concentrations of Zn, Pb Cu and Cd were the highest in below of 0.43$\mu $m as follows; 0.517$\mu $g/m$^{3}$, 0.411 $\mu $g/m$^{3}$, 0.062$\mu $g/m$^{3}$ and 0.0310$\mu $g/m$^{3}$ , respectively, Fe and Mn were the highest in the particle size range of 4.7 ∼ 7.0$\mu $m as follows; 2.504$\mu $g/m$^{3}$ and 0.095$\mu $g/m$^{3}$, respectively. 5. The Pt Cd, Zn, Cu, Fe and Mn concentrations of annual arithmetic mean value respirable to non- respirable( Res/Non- Res ) were 33.65, 19.27, 17.74, 10.54, 3.20 and 5.20, respectively.

정신지체와 인체내 카드뮴 함량과의 관련성을 보기 위해 정신지체아 297명(가정이 있는 아동이 다니는 특수학교 1개교의 132명과 고아로 구성된 특수학교 1개교의 165명)을 대상으로 두발중 카드뮴 및 아연함량을 측정하였으며 학업성적이 중위권 이상인 일반 국민학교 학생 117명을 대조군으로 하여 비교해 보았다. 시료의 분석은 원자흡광광도계를 이용하였다. 두발 중 카드뮴 함량의 연령에 따른 차이는 없었으며 아연은 대조군 남자의 경우 연령 증가에 비례하였다. 가정이 있는 정신지체아의 경우 카드뮴 함량이 남녀 각각 $0.64{\pm}0.24ppm,\;0.66{\pm}0.18ppm$, 가정이 없는 정신지체아(고아군)의 경우 남녀 각각 $0.71{\pm}0.19ppm,\;0.65{\pm}0.15ppm$ 으로써 대조군 (남;$0.45{\pm}0.15ppm$, 여:$0.49{\pm}0.16ppm$)에 비해 유의한 차이가 있었다. 그러나 아연의 경우 유의한 차이는 없었다. 정신지체의 정도별로 보았을때 고아인 경우 남녀 모두 카드뮴 함량이 지체정도가 심할수록 높았으나 가정이 있는 지체아의 경우는 그러한 차이가 없었다. 다만 선천성 질환인 Down증후군은 남녀 모두 대조군과 카드뮴함량의 차이가 없었다. 자폐증이 있는 경우 아연의 함량이 특이적으로 낮았다. 본 연구의 결과에서 카드뮴이 정신지체에 어느 정도의 영향을 끼칠 것으로 추측되나 더욱 연구를 계속해 보아야 하겠다.
