[ $2000{\sim}2001$ ]년 우리나라에서 유통되고 있는 원예용 상토 53점을 수집하여 농자재 중금속 분석 시험법인 전함량분석법과 토양의 중금속 공정시험법인 0.1N HCl 용출법에 의해 분석 상토중 중금속 함량을 분석하였다. 시판 원예용상토에 대한 중금속의 전함량 분석에서 카드뮴, 크롬, 구리, 니켈 납, 아연의 평균함량과 범위는 건토기준으로 각각 0.69($0{\sim}1.82$), 35.68($0{\sim}259.80$), 14.91($1.64{\sim}69.45$), 15.48($0{\sim}60.72$), 12.70($0{\sim}36.45$), 및 54.84($12.90{\sim}124.0$) mg/kg 이었다. 0.1N HCl 침출성 중금속 평균함량과 범위는 카드뮴이 0.08($0{\sim}0.20$), 크롬 0.38($0{\sim}2.10$), 구리 1.45($0{\sim}4.03$), 니켈 ($0.850{\sim}3.31$), 납 0.84($0{\sim}2.21$), 아연 30.68($0.18{\sim}88.45$) mg/kg 이었다. 조사된 모든 원예용상토의 중금속 함량은 부산물비료 허용기준 및 토양오염 우려기준보다 낮은 수준을 보였다.
Heavy metal contents in commercial horticultural growing media were investigated Fifty-three samples were collected nationwide during 2000 to 2001 and heavy metals in the samples were analyzed by ICP-OES after acid digestion and 0.1N HCl extraction. Average contents of total Cd, Cr, Co, Ni, Pb, and Zn by acid digestion in the growing media were 0.69, 35.7, 14.9, 15.5, 12.7, and 54.8 mg/kg DW, respectively. The ranges of heavy metal in the growing media were $0{\sim}1.82$, $0{\sim}259.8$, $1.6{\sim}69.5$, $0{\sim}60.7$, $0{\sim}36.5$, $12.9{\sim}124.0\;mg/kg$ DW for Cd, Cr, Co, Ni, Pb, and Zn, respectively. Heavy metal contents in the commercial horticultural growing media were showed lower levels than the permitted levels for quality control described by Korean Standard Analytical Method for Growing Media. Average contents and ranges of 0.1 N HCl extractable heavy metals were 0.08 and $0{\sim}0.20$ for Cd, 0.38 and $0{\sim}2.10$ for Cr, 1.45 and $0{\sim}4.03$ for Cu, 0.85 and $0{\sim}3.31$ for Ni, 0.84 and $0{\sim}2.21$ for Pb, and 30.68 and $0.18{\sim}88.45\;mg/kg$ DW for Zn, respectively. These concentrations by 0.1 N HCl extraction showed much less levels than those of total heavy metals by acid digestion.
