The purpose of this study is to present the raw data for establishing the plan of top soil conservation in soil environment and preventing the soil loss by establishing the potential amount of soil loss using RUSLE. The results are as follows. To apply the RUSLE model, we calculated the potential amount of soil loss by using 5 factors; rainfall erosion factor(R), topographical factor(LS), soil erosion factor(K), land cover factor(C) and erosion control factor(P). The assessment map of soil loss was drawn up by classifying 5 grades. According to the soil loss estimation by the RUSLE, it showed that approximately 83.9% of the study area had relatively lower possibility of soil loss which was the 1 ton/ha in annual soil loss. Whereas, the 7.0% of the study area was defined as high risk area which was the 10 ton/ha in annual. Therefore, this area was needed that there was environment-friendly construction of farm land, improvement of cultivation environment and so forth. In future, if we will analyze the amount of soil loss of Gyeongju national park and Hyeongsan river watershed, we will offer the help to establishing the conservation plan of soil environment in Gyeongsangbuk-do.

Objectives: To establish a system for integrated risk assessment of EDCs in Korea, infrastructure for providing toxicity data of ecological media should be established. Some systems provide soil ecotoxicity databases along with aquatic ecotoxicity information, but a well-structured ecotoxicity database system is still lacking. Methods: Aquatic and soil ecotoxicological information were collected by a toxicologist based on a human readable data (HRD) format for collecting ecotoxicity data that we provided. Among these data, anomalies were removed according to database normalization theory. Also, the data were cleaned and encoded to establish a machine-readable data (MRD) ecotoxicity database system. Results: We have developed a multi-purpose ecotoxicity database model focusing on EDCs, ecological species, and toxic effects. Also, we have constructed a web-based data searching system to retrieve, extract, and download data with greater availability. Conclusions: The results of our study will contribute to decision-making as a tool for efficient ecological risk assessment of EDCs in Korea.

본 연구에서는 벤즈이소시아졸리논의 초기 생태위해성을 평가하기 위해 물리 화학적 특성과 환경거동 및 경로를 조사하였고, 어류, 물벼룩 및 조류를 이용한 수생태 독성시험을 수행하였다. 조사 결과, 벤즈이소시아졸리논은 비휘발성으로 환경 중 주로 토양과 물에 분포하는 특성이 있으며, 토양 내 이동성과 생물농축 가능성이 낮은 편으로 나타났다. Oryzias laties를 이용한 급성 독성시험 결과 96시간-$LC_{50}$ 값은 4.7 mg/L(측정농도), Daphnia magna를 이용한 48시간-$EC_{50}$ 값은 3.3 mg/L(측정농도)이었다. Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata를 이용한 72시간-$EC_{50}$ 값은 0.456 mg/L(평균 성장률, 설정농도)와 0.262 mg/L(수율, 설정농도)이었다. 시험 종 가운데 독성에 가장 민감한 조류의 수율 $EC_{50}$ 값에 평가 계수 100을 적용한 예측무영향 농도는 2.62 ${\mu}g/L$이었다. 각 시험군의 독성 종말점을 GHS (Globally Harmonized System) 기준에 따라 분류한 결과 조류 독성은 급성독성 1등급, 어류 및 물벼룩 독성은 급성독성 2등급에 해당되었다. 본 결과를 토대로 볼 때 벤즈이소시아졸리논은 생태 환경에 대한 위해성이 예측된다.

Adverse effect of veterinary antibiotics (VAs) released into environment has been issued recently and concerns about analysis and management for VAs in the environment were increased. Main objective of this research was to calculate predicted environmental concentration (PEC) of the VAs in soil based on avaiable statistical data and result of previous study such as consumption rate and physiological properties of VAs. Total of 5 VAs, Chlortetracycline (CTC), Oxytetracycline (OTC), Sulfadimethoxine (SDX), Sulfamethazine (SMT), and Tylosin (TYL) were examined. Result showed that calculated PEC value in manure and soil was ordered as SMT > TYL > SDX > CTC > OTC. Range of calculated value for manure and soil was 0.50-67.04 and $0.48-64.45mg\;kg^{-1}$ respectively. Comparing to measured concentration of VAs in manure and soil, lower concentration of VAs in manure and soil was evaluated due to fate and degradation of VAs in manure and soil. Overall, evaluated simple modeling for calculating PEC of VAs in manure and soil can be adapted for preliminary screening purpose in environmental risk assessment and more refined modeling is necessary to examine detailed assessment of VAs in manure and soil.

There is domestic Soil Contamination Warning Standard (SCWS) as remediation standard concentration of contaminated soils. No risk should be observed at soil concentration less than SCWS. Therefore, SCWS was evaluated to confirm the risk assessment. Background Concentration of Soil (BGC) and target remediation concentration were also assessed. The results show that Excess Cancer Risk (ECR) of SCWS was the highest in the groundwater intake pathway (Adult: 6.27E-04, Child: 2.81E-04). Total Cancer Risk (TCR) was 7.76E-04 and 4.30E-04 for adult and child, exceeding reference value (10^-6). Hazard Quotient (Non-Carcinogenic Risk, HQ) was the highest in the indoor air inhalation pathway (Adult: 3.64E+03, Child: 8.74E+02). Hazard Index (Total Non-Carcinogenic Risk, HI) exceeded reference value 1. ECR of the BGC was the highest in the groundwater intake pathway (Adult: 1.71E-04, Child: 7.67E-05). TCR was 2.12E-04 for adults and 1.17E-04 for children, exceeding the reference value (10^-6). HQ was the highest in groundwater intake pathway (Adult: 4.10E-01, Child: 1.84E-01). HI was lower than reference value 1 (Adult: 4.78E-01, Child: 2.50E-01). The heavy metal affecting ECR was Arsenic (As). The remediation-concentration of As was 7.14 mg/kg which is higher than BGC (6.83 mg/kg). TCR of As should be less than reference value (10^-6), but it was higher for all of SCWS, BGC and target remediation concentration. Therefore, it is suggested that risk assessment factors should be re-evaluated to fit domestic environmental settings and SCWS should be induced to satisfy the risk assessment.

본 연구에서는 제련소 주변 납 오염 현장 토양의 위해성 저감을 위한 안정화 적용 효과를 알아보고자 대표적인 상업용 안정화제를 적용 후 안정화 전후의 토양 중 납의 용출 안정성을 TCLP (Toxic Characteristic Leaching Procedure)와 SPLP (Synthetic Precipitation Leaching Procedure) 용출시험을 통해 평가하였으며, 안정화 후 토양내 납의 존재형태 변화를 연속추출(sequential extraction procedure)분석을 통하여 파악하였다. 중금속 오염 토양 안정화 성능을 보유하고 있으며 대량으로 공급이 용이한 안정화제인 석회석, AC-2 (Amron), Metafix (Peroxychem)을 후보로 선정하였다. XRD 분석 결과 AC-2는 CaCO₃, MgO의 결정성을 가지고 있었으며, Metafix는 Fe₇S₈의 결정성을 보유하는 것으로 확인되었다. 안정화 후 토양의 SPLP 용출 시험에서는 대부분의 모든 안정화제 적용 조건에서 국내 환경부 먹는물 기준을 만족하였으며 TCLP 용출시험결과에서는 77.0%의 높은 안정화 효율을 보여주었다. AC-24%와 Metafix 4% 적용에서 SPLP 용출액 중 납의 농도를 검출 한계치 이하로 저감되었으며 TCLP 기준 안정화 효율이 90% 이상인 것으로 확인되었다. 연속추출 결과 Metafix 적용 토양은 이동성이 높은 1, 2단계의 분획 비율이 감소하고 가장 안정한 5단계의 분획 비율이 증가되는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과를 종합하였을 때 안정화 효과가 높은 순서는 Metafix>AC-2>석회석인 것으로 판단된다.

Soil contaminated with heavy metals from artisanal gold mining in Anka Local Government Area in Northwestern Nigeria was investigated to evaluate the human health risk as a result of heavy metals. Measured concentration of heavy metals and exposure parameters were used to estimate human carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risk. GIS-based Kriging method was utilized to create a prediction maps of human health risks and probability maps of heavy metals concentrations exceeding their threshold limits. Hazard index calculation showed that 21 out of 23 locations are posing non-cancer risk for children. Adults and children are at high cancer risk in all locations as the total cancer risk exceeded $1{\times}10^{-6}$ (the lower limit CTR value). Kriging model showed that only a very small area in Anka has a hazard index of less than unity and cumulative target risk of less than $1{\times}10^{-4}$, indicating a significant carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risks for children. The probability of heavy metals to exceed their threshold concentrations around the study area was also found to be high.

The Environmental Site Assessment System(ESAS) in Korea which became effective as of 2002 is very similar to the ASTM standard practice in United States. Unlike the United States, however, we do not have Phase I ESA, enough environmental professionals with approved training and practical experiences, and detailed guidelines for a governmental action. As a result of comparison the ESAS with the ASTM standard practice, the ASTM standard practice is focused on the Innocent Landowner Defense and has a difference in data search process as well as legal and methodological ways from the ESAS. Therefore, the Transaction Screen Process in ASTM E-1528 standard practice is suggested to reduce the risk potentially produced under on-site assessment and to achieve efficient on-site assessment. In addition, social and executive supports are discussed to more activate on-site assessment. In near future this study is expected to be standardized more in detail with activation of on-site assessment and it is also expected to increase the role and responsibility of environmental professionals considerably.

BACKGROUND: Increase of heavy metals in agricultural ecosystem has become a social issue nationwide as it is related to public health. This review was performed to find out more systematic and integrated future researches on heavy metals using up to date articles published in the Korean journals related to agricultural environment. METHODS AND RESULTS: Researches on heavy metals in agricultural soils and plant uptake were categorized by the establishment of criteria, analytical methods, monitoring, management of source, characteristics and behavior in soil, plant uptake, bioavailability affecting physico -chemical properties in soil, risk assessment and soil remediation. In the early 1990s, the monitoring for heavy metals in soil has been widely performed. Accumulation of heavy metals in contaminated soil and availability to plants has also attracted interests to study the soil remediation using various physico-chemical methods. The phytoavailability and phytotoxicity of heavy metals have been mainly studied to assess the safety of agro-products using risk assessment techniques in the 2000s. CONCLUSION: Future direction of research on heavy metal in agricultural environment must be carried out by ensuring food safety and sustainability. A steady survey and proper management for polluted regions should be continued. Law and regulation must be modified systematically. Furthermore, studies should expand on mitigation of heavy metal uptake by crops and remediation of polluted fields.
