Abstract

This study was conducted to inform basic data for management of abandoned mine that was based on soil heavy metal concentration of the non-rearing and the rearing sites in Guundong Mine which had been completed of improve contamination soils, and examined into standard plant which had tolerances about pollution that analyzed into its accumulated heavy metals contents in the wild plant of naked soil. Consider form the result of contents by depth of soils heavy metals in the non-rearing sites, S1 point judged by contaminated to heavy metals of tailing leach after weathering caused by rainfall and permeate in S1 point soils when restored rest of tailing in 1996 restoration project. Lead of S2 point was not contaminated seriously by restoration and S3 point considered that heavy metals which leach by rainfall in the contaminated soils in mine vicinity accumulated in the abandoned paddy through river When heavy metals of rearing sites soils were examined from the view point of upside of mine point (SP1, SP2, and SP3) of same above the sea level, zinc (537.5 mg/kg) content of SP1 point was highest, and copper (535 mg/kg) and lead (141.5 mg/kg) in the SP3 point were high. To considered as orderly plenty of heavy metals in the plant were respectively in order, Perilla frutescens var. cauta KUDO (SP1 and SP4) >Artemisia princeps PAMPAN (SP2) > Miscanthus sinensis ANDERSSON(SP5) > Vicia angustifolia var. segetilis (THUILL.) K. KOCH. (SP2). Especially, there were plenty of heavy metals in P. frutescens var. acuta, so it judged as a standard plant which have tolerances about heavy metals pollution sites. Therefore, we need more study about the heavy metals accumulate ability of P frutescens var. acuta in future.

식물 비생육지 토양의 깊이별 중금속 함량은 S1지점의 경우 1996년 오염토양 개선사업으로 S1지점 바로 위에다 남은 광미를 복토함으로써 광미 중금속이 강우에 의해 용탈되어 토양에 축적되기 때문에 오염되고 있는 것으로 판단되었고 S2지점은 오염토양 개선사업의 효과로서 표토에서 Zn과 Pb가 토양오염 우려기준을 초과하지 않았으며 Pb의 경우 $30\∼50cm$에서 토양오염 우려기준을 초과한 것은 광맥의 영향 때문이며 구리의 경우는 광산의 채광물로서 오염 정도가 심각하였다. 생육지 토양의 중금속 함량은 같은 표고상에 위치한 광산 위 지점(SP1, SP2, SP3)에서 볼 때 SP1지점에서는 Zn의 함량이 537.5 mg/kg로 가장 높았고, SP3지점에서는 Cu와 Pb의 함량이 가장 높았는데 이는 폐광산에 복토 사업을 했더라도 아직 토양 복원이 완전히 이루어지지 않아 강우와 풍화에 의한 광미의 영향 때문인 것으로 생각되며 SP2지점은 다른 지점보다 지대가 높아 광미의 영향을 적게 받는 것으로 생각된다. 식물체내의 중금속 함량은 차즈기>쑥>억새>살갈퀴 순으로 조사되었고 식물에 의한 연간 중금속 제거율 역시 차즈기가 가장 좋은 것으로 조사되었다. 특히 차즈기는 다량의 중금속이 축적되어 있고 중금속 오염 지역에 내성이 있는 지표종으로 생각될 수 있으며 본 식물의 중금속 축적 능력에 대한 더 많은 연구가 진행되어야 할 것으로 생각된다.
