Abstract
It has been studied that a variety of fauna and flora are sensitive biological indicators which reflect the severity of regional pollution of heavy metals, but in the center of part of Taegu City the controversial issue of lead poisoning attributable to the atmosphere which contains an increased concentrations of lead has been raised recently, it is usually hard to find suitable plants or animal in the areas with heavy traffic. Pigeons are ubiquitous in and around Taegu City area, inhabiting even the most densely populated areas with heavy traffic. With its small body size, high metabolic turnover, and rather limited mobility, a pigeon, as a biological indicator is expected. This study was conducted to monitor lead pollution in the Taegu and Kyongju City in Korea. We measured the lead content of the various tissue of three groups of feral pigeon(Columba livia) and soil and atmospheric lead concentration. First group was obtained in heavy traffic area in Taegu City, the second group was obtained a park in Taegu City and the third group was obtained light traffic area in Kyongju City. The air and soil lead concentration of heavy traffic area in Taegu City was
환경오염의 생물학적 감시수단으로서의 비둘기의 활용가능성을 알아보기 위해, 대기 및 토양의 오염이 다르다고 생각되는 대구시 도심지의 도로변, 대구시의 공원과 경주시에서 비둘기를 포획하여 각 조직내 연농도를 측정하고, 그 장소에서 대기 및 토양내의 연농도를 측정하였다. 대기 중의 연농도는 대구시 도심지역이
