Vertical Distribution of Heavy Metals in Paddy Soil Adjacent to Lead and Zinc Mining Sites and Their Relation to Soil Characteristics

연.아연 금속광산 주변 농경지 토양중 중금속의 수직분포와 토양특성과의 관계

The objective of this study was to find out the relationships between the vertical distribution of heavy metals in paddy soils and some soil characteristics. One hundred eight soil samples were collected by soil depths from 27 points of paddy fields in the vicinity of lead-zinc mining sites, and heavy metal contents and the physico-chemical characteristics of the soils were analysed. The results obtained were summarized as follows; 1) Distribution of heavy metals (Cd, Cu, Pb, Zn and As) by soil depths were ranged 42-51% in 0- 15 cm, 21-29% in 15- 30 cm, 12- 17% in 30-60 cm and 11-14% in 6o-100 cm. 2) The distribution of As by soil depth showed clear difference between sandy loam and loam, while that of Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn did not show any difference between these textures. 3) Distribution of Cd, Cu, Pb, Zn and As by different soil depths showed significantly negative correlation with soil pH value but they showed significantly positive correlation with soil organic matter content. 4) Cadmium, copper, lead, and zinc in soil had tendency to be highly correlated in each soil depth. Especially, high correlation was shown at the depth of 0- 15 cm, 30-60 cm and 60-100 cm for Pb and Zn, and 0-15 cm for Cd and Zn. Arsenic in soil was not correlated with these heavy metals.

토양중 중금속의 수직분포비율과 토양특성과의 관계를 규명하기 위하여 중금속에 의한 토양 오염이 우려되는 연· 아연 광산지역 주변농경지 27개 지점을 선정하여 토양깊이별로 시료를 채취하여 중금속함량과 토양의 이화학적 특성을 조사하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 얻어진 결과는 다음과 같다. 1) 중금속 원소의 토심별 분포는 표토(0- l5 cm)에서는 42-51%, 15 -30 cm에서는 21-29%, 30-60 cm에서는 12-17%, 60-100 cm에서는 11-14%였다. 2) 비소는 사양토와 양토간의 차이가 인정되나 Cd, Cu, Pb, Zn은 토성간에 차이가 없었다. 3) 토심별 각 원소의 함량분포비와 토양의 화학성과의 관계를 보면 각 원소 모두 pH와는 높은 유의성있는 부의 상관을 보인 반면 유의성있는 정의 상관을 나타내었다. 4) Cd, Cu, Pb 및 Zn 은 모든 토심에서 각 원소간에 대부분 높은 상관이 있었고 특히 Pb와 Zn은 0-15 cm, 30-60 cm, 60-100 cm에서 Cd와 Zn은 15 -30 cm에서 높은 상관을 나타내었다.
