초록

최근 국내의 황사 발생일수 및 강도가 급증하고 있으며, 사회경제적으로 황사에 의한 유형적 및 무형적 피해의 규모 및 정도가 심각한 실정이다. 현재 황사 발원지에서 사막화방지를 위한 조림/녹화사업이 국가차원은 물론 민간차원에서도 활발히 진행되고 있으나, 사막지역의 광대함, 발원지의 기후 및 토양 조건, 그리고 현지 원주민의 경제적 낙후성 등으로 인하여, 단기간 내에 그 목적을 달성하기가 어려운 실정이다. 따라서 현재 국내에서 발생하는 황사에 의한 피해를 최소화하는 것이 중요하다. 황사피해에 대처하기 위해서는 우선 황사의 발원지에 따른 황사의 유해성을 파악하고, 황사 발원지 중 어느 지역으로부터 발원하는 황사가 우리나라에 피해를 주는 지에 대한 과학적인 자료가 필요하다. 이번 연구에서는 지질물질의 기원을 추적하는 데에 많이 이용되고 있는 Sr-Nd 동위원소 조성비를 이용하여 2007년 봄철에 우리나라에 발생하였던 황사의 발원지를 규명하였다. 황사 발원지 토양 및 국내에서 발생한 퇴적황사의 Sr-Nd 동위원소 조성비의 분석결과, 황사 발원지는 황토고원일 가능성이 매우 높게 나타났으며, 오도스 사막 또한 가능성이 있는 것으로 판단된다.

Recently, the occurrence and intensity of Asian Dust have dramatically increased in Korean peninsula, resulting in severe damages to the domestic social and economic field. The most useful way to prevent the damage of Asian Dust is the restraint of the occurrence of Asian Dust itself. However, Asian dust is the one of the natural phenomena, thus there is a basic limit to manage the Asian Dust. Though it is impossible to restrain the occurrence of Asian Dust in short time at present, it is a urgent matter to minimize the damage of Asian Dust. It is necessary to construct the basic data for understanding the harmfulness of Asian Dust, and to elucidate the source area of Asian Dust in connection with the maleficence of itself. In this study, the source area of Asian Dust in spring, 2007, is investigated using the Sr-Nd isotopic ratios which is the most common method to trace the source of geological materials. The relationships of Sr-Nd isotope ratios indicate that Asian Dust was originated from Central Loess Plateau and/or Ordos desert in spring, 2007.
