This research was to examine the biological pollution class by color of the polluted section and calculate the biological pollution coverages of 9 stone heritages in Korea, from June to November 2008. Three storied stone pagoda in Mulgeol-ri, Hongcheon, Three storied stone pagoda in Suta Temple and Stupa to Hongudang in Sutasa Temple showed 90% biological pollution coverage and each stone cultural heritages showed 15~23% range of Bryophyte coverage, proving severe biological pollution. The Four-lion three storied stone pagoda of Gwaeseok-ri, Three storied stone pagoda in Suta Temple and Stupa to Hongudang in Sutasa Temple showed the worst biological pollution class by color of class 5. Three storied stone pagoda in Chang-ri showed satisfactory level of class 2. The result of the correlation analysis between biological pollution class and the biological pollution coverage of lichen showed high correlation coefficient of 0.91, however, the correlation analysis between biological pollution class and bryophyte or aerial algae coverage showed the low correlation coefficient. Eight taxa among all the aerial algae, Cosmarium decedens, Chlorella ellipsoidea, Anabaena fertilissima, Botryococcus braunii, Chroococcus turgidus, Navicula cryptocephala and Xenococcus acervatus showed high correlation coefficient of 0.56~0.85 with biological pollution coverage of bryophyte, in the correlation analysis. The correlation coefficient between biological pollution coverage of lichen, Trebouxia sp. and Chroococcus varius, had a range between 0.43 to 0.50. The correlation coefficient between biological pollution coverage of aerial algae, Achnanthes laterostrata and Ulothrix zonata showed a range of 0.57 to 0.76. Since the aerial algae with high correlation between biological pollution coverage showed clear appearance tendency, they can be used as indicator.

생물여과 (biofiltration)로 알려진 기술은 오염물을 gas stream이나 liquid stream을 사용하여 생물학적으로 처리할 수 있다. 주요 방법으로 생물세정 방법과 생물여과의 두 방법을 사용하고 있다. 오염물질 제거효율에 영향을 미치는 인자로는 오염물질의 종류와 특징, 오염물질의 유입농도, 충진물의 종류와 형상, 오염물질이 충진물에 머무름 시간 등이 있다. 일반적으로 생물 여과에 있어서 반응기의 충진물로 compost, peat, wood chips와 토양을 이용하거나 또는 활성이 없는 합성 매체를 이용하기도 한다(Leson and Winer, 1991).

This study evaluated the effectiveness of biostimulating agent in contaminated coastal sediment. The study was conducted via column tests in coastal sea wherein two separate columns were employed for two different polymers used and another column for a blank. The biostimulating agent was made by mixing sea sediment with biostimulants viz acetate, nitrate, sulfate. The biostimulating agent was then rolled into balls, dried and coated with either Cellulose Acetate (CA) or Polysulfone (PS) to control the release of the biostimulants. The pH was around 7.6~8 for 4 months while COD, TP and TN were significantly lower in the column containing biostimulating agents. Heavy metal(Fe, Zn, Cd, Cr, Pb, Cu) was converted to stable forms and PS coated biostimulating agent had a high efficiency of heavy metals distribution.

This study investigated the optimum depth for the application of bioremediation in contaminated coastal sediment using a lab scale column experiment. The biostimulants were placed in the top surface of the sediment facing seawater, 3cm, 6cm and 10cm of the depth from the surface, respectibely. During the experiment, the changes of organic pollutants and heavy metal fractions in the sediment were monitored in 1 month and 3month time intervals. The organic pollutants found during various analysis such as chemical oxygen demand, total solids and volatile solids, significantly reduced when the depth of the biostimulant was 3cm or less. In contrast, at a depth of over 6cm, the reduction of organic pollutants decreased, and the results were similar to the control. Heavy metals fractions in the sediment also changed with the depth of the biostimulants. The exchangeable fraction of the metals was quite reduced at the sediment surface in the column, but the organic bound and residual fractions considerably increased at a depth of 3cm. Based on this study, the optimum biostimulants depth for in-situ bioremediation of contaminant coastal sediment is 3cm from the sediment surface.

물리 화학적 원리에 의한 환경오염 정화방법은 종종 낮은 효율을 보이면서 공사비 부담은 큰 것으로 나타나고 있다. 그러나 생물학적 방법들은 이러한 단점들을 극복하면서 토양과 지하수를 정화할 수 있는 대안으로서 그 가능성을 입증하고 있는 실정이다. 그 중에서 생물학적 통풍법은 유류오염지역에 적용하고 있으며 그 원리는 지중 오염지역에 충분한 산소를 공급함으로서 오염성분이 토착 미생물에 의해 제거되도록 하는 것이다. 본 발표는 유류오염 지역에 적용된 생물학적 통풍법의 효율을 평가하여 제시하였다.

Several bioassays have been performed for assessment of the impact of polluted sediments. The direct exposure method using sediments is limited by difficulty controlling feeding and its effects on organisms. Furthermore, only macro-organisms and benthic organisms are used. To evaluate the potential application of sediment elutriate as a complementary strategy for impact assessment, copepods, small organisms with a short life cycle, were exposed to sediment elutriates, and several end-points were measured. As a result, sediment elutriates prepared from polluted sites caused growth retardation in marine copepods. In terms of molecular biomarkers, antioxidant-related and chaperone protein gene expression levels were increased in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Thus, we suggest that sediment elutriate tests can provide an effective alternative for toxicity assessment using whole sediment samples. Further studies are required to obtain sufficient data for future applications.

해저퇴적물은 수생생물들의 주거공간을 제공하여 수생생태계에서 중요한 역할을 담당한다. 그러나 오염된 해저퇴적물은 수계에서 축적되는 양보다 퇴적물에서 수계로 용출되는 양이 많아 수계의 오염을 가중시키는 가장 끈 원인이 된다. 오염도가 높은 퇴적물에서는 특정종의 서식을 불가능하게 하거나 서식이 가능하다 할지라도 서식생물의 체내에 오염물이 농축되어 이는 먹이사슬을 통하여 수중서식생물들에게 축적되게 되어 궁극적으로 인간들에게도 나쁜 영향을 미치게 된다. (중략)

Levels of beauvericin (BEA) and enniatins (ENNs: ENA, ENA1, ENB, and ENB1) were examined in fresh ginger (n = 43) and ginger powder (n = 31) samples from Korea. In the ginger samples, incidence of BEA contamination was highest, at 62.79%, with a maximum detected BEA level of 640.07 ㎍/kg. ENNs in were found in up to 11.63% (ENB, ENB1) of ginger samples, with a maximum detected level of 91.02 ㎍/kg (ENA). In the ginger powders, ENB contamination displayed the highest rate of incidence (70.97%), but the highest level of BEA (1,344.18 ㎍/kg) exceeded that of ENB (413.99 ㎍/kg). The incidences of ENA, ENA1, ENB, and ENB1 presence in ginger powders were 29.03%, 22.58%, 70.97%, and 35.48%, respectively, and their highest detected levels were 220.45, 156.61, 413.99, and 70.29 ㎍/kg, respectively. The incidence of BEA and ENN contamination was higher in ginger powder than in ginger. Respective co-occurrence rates of BEA and ENNs in ginger and ginger powder samples were 16.28% and 64.52%, indicating that the BEA and ENN co-contamination rate was highest in ginger powder as well. This is the first report on the presence and co-occurrence of BEA and ENNs in Korean ginger and ginger powder.

대부분의 유기물은 토양의 특성에 따라 그 흡착 및 탈착 양상이 다르며 이는 오염물질의 토양에서의 지속성 및 이동성에 영향을 미치게 된다. 본 연구에서는 대표적인 유기오염물인 PAH(Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon)에 대하여 흡착 및 탈착과 오염물질의 미생물 분해 등을 통한 제거 기작과의 연관성을 연구하고자 한다. PAH의 이론적인 미생물분해반응식은 열역학적 이론을 바탕으로 하는 반쪽반응방법을 사용하여 예측할 수 있다. 오염물과 토양의 특성에 따른 흡착 및 탈착 양상을 파악하고, 앞에서 구한 미생물 분해반응식을 이용하여 이론적 분해량을 예측하면 오염물의 생물학적 이용성과 노출량을 결정할 수 있다 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 토양의 여러 특성을 분석한 후, PAH의 미생물 분해량 및 분해율을 측정하고자 한다. 실험을 통하여 실제 토양에서 측정된 PAH 분해량과 위의 이론적 분해량 예측 결과 사이의 관계를 토양의 특성을 이용하여 설명할 수 있으며 나아가 오염물질의 생물학적이용성에 관하여 개략적으로 일반화된 예측 모형을 얻을 수 있을 것이다. 본 연구를 통하여 토양과 유기오염물질, 미생물간의 상호 작용에 대한 이해를 높이고 보다 실질적인 유기오염물의 생물학적 이용성을 예측할 수 있는 방안을 마련할 수 있을 것이다.
