연안의 오염으로 인한 수생생물의 피해를 파악하기 위하여 여러방면으로 연구가 진행되고 있다. 특히 여러 오염원에 대한 수생생물의 생존과 성장은 중요한 평가요인이 될 수 있다(Marr et al., 1996). 이들 중금속에 대한 여러 연구들이 현재 진행 되 고 있으며 (Gagne' et al.,1990; Castano et al.,1998), 현재 우리나라 연안에 분포하는 중금속에 대한 수생생물의 영향분석의 일환으로 구리 및 카드륨이 넙치의 생존, 성장 및 사료효율에 미치는 만성적 영향을 파악하는 것을 본 연구의 목적으로 한다.

함금속 염료는 이들 염료들의 우수한 일광견뢰도 때문에 섬유산업에서 광범위하게 사용되고 있다. 함금속 염료에 사용되는 금속으로는 크롬, 코발트 및 구리 등이 이용되고있다. 금속 착물은 주로 안료뿐만 아니라 산성, 직접 및 반응성 염료에서 사용하고 있다[1,2] 섬유 염색에서 중요한 부분으로는 염색폐수의 방출에 있다 [3]. 특히, 몇몇 염료들의 발암성물질과, 환원에 의한 아조 그룹의 파괴 등으로 발성하는 아민류가 심각한 환경문제로 관심을 갖고있다[4]. (중략)

언제부터인가 우리는 도시 공해와 더불어 결코 유쾌하지만은 않은 바다 건너온 손님들에 의해 건강을 위협받고 있다. 바로 중국, 내몽골 지역의 사막화로 인해 겨우내 얼어 붙었던 흙이 봄바람을 만나 생기는 황사가 그 주범이다. 비록 황사가 토지의 산성화를 막아 농작물이 잘 자라는 데 도움을 준다는 말도 있지만, 요재 불어오는 황사는 중국의 산업화에 힘입어 공해물질을 다량 함유한 먼지이기에 더욱 그 피해가 심각하다. 대표적으로 인체의 호흡기에 침입하여 여러 문제를 일으키고 눈이나 피부에도 질환을 일으킬 수 있다. 즉 황사는 눈을 직접 자극하여 결막염의 증세를 일으킬 뿐만 아니라, 함유된 여러 중금속과 같은 물질들에 의해 알레르기성 질환도 유발할 수 있다는 뜻이다.

연소 배가스 중에 대표적인 가스상 중금속은 수은(Hg), 비소(As), 셀레늄(Se)을 들 수 있다. 이 중에서도 수은은 증기압이 높아서 가스상으로 배출될 가능성이 가장 높은 물질이다. 수은은 세계적으로 약 5000톤이 가스상으로 발생하고 있다. 이 중에서 1000톤은 자연적인 발생원 즉, 화산, 암반이나 해양에서의 증발로부터 발생하며, 나머지 4000톤은 인위적 시설들, 즉 소자로나 발전소, 천연가스, 형광등, 전기제품, 촉매 생산공정 등 일반산업체에서 발생하는 것으로 알려져 있다. (중략)

해조류를 대상으로 한 해양환경 오염원의 영향에 대한 연구는 지금까지 주로 자연환경 스트레스에 대한 연구가 주로 진행되어져 왔으나 (Davison and Pearson, 1996), 해양오염원의 영향 (진 등, 1999)등은 아직 연구가 미진한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 산불로 인하여 야기될 수 있는 오염원들을 포함한 첫물 (소나무 잿물, KOH), 토사 (황토, 화강암 마사토), 중금속 (CdCl$_2$, CuSO$_4$) 등를 재료로 하여 방사무늬김의 viability 정도 측정과 이들 stress에 따른 반응 유전자들을 분리하고자 한다.

In order to characterize the effects of heavy metal ions on the microsomal ATPase activities, microsomes were prepared from the roots of tomato plant and the activity of microsomal ATPase was measured by an enzyme-coupled assay. $Hg^{2+}$ inhibited the activity of microsomal ATPase in a dose-dependent manner, while $Gd^{3+}$, $Fe^{3+}$, $La^{3+}$, $Zn^{2+}$, and $Pb^{2+}$ inhibited not only the ATPase activity but also the activities of enzymes used in the assay. However, $Cs^+$ and $Ba^{2+}$ showed no significant effect. $Hg^{2+}$ inhibited the activities of both plasma membrane and vacuolar membrane $H^+-ATPases$. In the dose-response to $Hg^{2+}$, the activities of both microsomal $H^+-ATPases$ were severely inhibited at the concentration of $Hg^{2+}$ above $10\;{\mu}M$ and were completely inhibited at 1 mM $Hg^{2+}$. Apparent Ki values of $Hg^{2+}$ on the inhibitions of plasma membrane and vacuolar membrane $H^+-ATPases$ were $80\;{\mu}M$ and $58\;{\mu}M$, respectively. The $Hg^{2+}$-induced inhibitions were reversible since the addition of dithiothreitol completely reversed the inhibitory effects of $Hg^{2+}$. These results suggest that the inhibitory effects of $Hg^{2+}$ on both plasma, membrane and vacuolar membrane $H^+-ATPases$ are nonselective and reversible.

Objective of this study was to investigate residual the levels of heavy metals in rice grain and soils of "Top-Rice" and common rice cultivation areas from 2005 to 2007. Soil and rice grain samples were taken from 33 "Top-rice" areas and neighboring paddies, and analyzed for the elements using ICP-OES and ICP-TOF-MS after acid digestion. A concentration of arsenic in paddy soil was 1.33 mg/kg which was below 1/5-1/11 fold of the threshold levels(concern: 4 mg/kg, action: 10 mg/kg), and paddy soil was 0.06 mg/kg of Cd(cadmium) being below 1/25-1/67 fold of the limits(concern: 1.5 mg/kg, action: 4 mg/kg). A level of Cu(copper) in paddy soil was 4.57 mg/kg which was below 1/11-1/27 fold of the threshold levels(concern: 50 mg/kg, action: 125 mg/kg), and Pb(lead) concentration in paddy soil was found to be a 4.68 mg/kg. In addition, Hg(mercury) concentration in paddy soil was to be a 0.03 mg/kg, which was below 1/131-1/328 fold of the threshold levels(concern: 4 mg/kg, action: 10 mg/kg). The average concentrations of As, Cd, Cu, Pb and Hg in the polished rice samples were 0.037, 0.043, 0.280, 0.048 and 0.002 mg/kg, respectively. These levels are lower than those of other countries in rice grains. Assuming the rice consumption of 205.7 g/day by total dietary supplements in Korea, the amount of total weekly metal intake of As, Cd, Cu, Pb and Hg by polished rice were estimated to be 0.0892, 1.035, 6.712, 1.161 and 0.054 ${\mu}g/kg$ body weigh/week, respectively. The PTWI(%) of As, Cd, Cu, Pb and Hg were 5.95(inorganic arsenic), 0.26(total arsenic), 14.79, 0.19, 4.65 and 1.07% estimated to be 0.0892, 1.035, 6.712, 1.161 and 0.054 ${\mu}g/kg$ body weigh/week, respectively. In conclusion, it was appeared that the heavy metals contamination in the brown and polished rice should not be worried in Korea.

Chemical assessment of soil pollution with heavy metals was made by analyzing the changes in pH, ionic strength, cationic concentration and chemical species in the soil solution. Saturated pastes of the unpolluted soils were made by adding solutions containing Cu or Cd and the final Cu or Cd concentrations were in the range of 0 to 400 mg/kg. After equilibrating for 24 hours at $25^{\circ}C$, the soil solution was extracted from the saturated pastes by the vacuum extraction method and analyzed for pH, electrical conductivity, Cu, Cd, cations and inorganic ligands. Chemical species in soil solution were calculated by the GEOCHEM-PC program employing the input variables of pH, ionic strength(${\mu}$), molar concentrations of cations and ligands. Increasing Cu or Cd additions lowered pH of the soil solution but increased concentrations of Ca, Mg and K resulting in increases of ${\mu}$ of the soil solution. Effects of Cu on lowering pH and increasing ${\mu}$ were greater than those of Cd. Concentrations of Cu or Cd in soil solution were relatively very low as compared to those of additions, but increased linearly with increasing additions representing that concentrations of Cu were higher than those of Cd. At 400 mg/kg additions, concentrations of Cu were in the range of 0.51 to 11.70 mg/L but those of Cd were 34.4 to 88.5 mg/L. Major species of Ca, Mg and K were free ions and these species were equivalent to greater than 95 molar % of the existing respective molar concentrations. These cationic species were not changed by Cu or Cd additions. Major species of Cu in lower pH soils such as SiCL and SL were free $Cu^{2+}$ (>95 molar %), but those in LS having a higher pH were free $Cu^{2-}$ and Cu-hydroxide complex. At 100 mg Cu/kg treatment, $Cu^{2+}$ and Cu-hydroxide complex were equivalent to 73 and 22.4 molar %, respectively. These respective percentages were decreased and increased correspondingly with increasing Cu treatments. Major species of Cd in soil solution were free $Cd^{2+}$ and Cd-chloride complex, representing 79 to 85 molar % for $Cd^{2+}$ and 13 to 20% for Cd-chloride complex at 10 mg Cd/kg treatment. With increasing Cd additions to 400 mg/kg, $Cd^{2+}$ species decreased to $40{\sim}47%$ but Cd-chloride complexes increased to $53{\sim}60$ molar %. These results demonstrated that soil contamination with heavy metals caused an adverse effect on the plant nutritional aspects of soil solution by lowering pH, increasing cations temporarily, and increasing free metal concentrations and species enough to be phytotoxic.

To investigate the role of fault gauge in the behavior of heavy metals caused by the acid rock drainage in the area of pyrite-rich andesite, XRD, pH measurement, XRF, SEM-EDS, ICP, and sequential extraction method were used. Bed rock consists of quartz, pyrophyllite, pyrite, illite, and topaz, but the brown-colored fault gouge is composed of quartz, illite, chlorite, smectite, goethite, and cacoxenite. The mineral composition of bed rock suggests that it is heavily altered by hydrothermal activity. The concentrations of heavy metals in the bed rock are as follows, Zn > As > Cu > Pb > Cr > Ni > Cd, and those in fault gouge are As > Zn > Pb > Cr > Cu > Ni > Cd. The concentrations of the heavy metals in the fault gouge are generally higher than those in the bed rock, especially for Pb, As, and Cr, which were more than twice as those in the bed rock. It is believed that the difference in the amount of heavy metals between the bed rock and the fault gouge is mainly due to the existence of goethite which is the main mineral composition in the fault gouge and can play important role in sequestering these metals by coprecipitation and adsorption. The low pH, caused by oxidation of pyrite, also plays significant role in fixation of those metals. It is confirmed that the fractions of labile (step 1) and acid-soluble (step 2), which can be easily released into the environment, were higher in the bed rock. Those fractions were relatively low in fault gauge, suggesting that fault gauge can play important role as a sink of heavy metals to prevent those ones from being released in the area where the acid rock drainage can have an influence.
