Today's scientists try to remove heavy metals with many new technologies such as phytoremediation. One of the best cutting edge technologies is developing transgenic plants to remove certain heavy metal in soil. I constructed the transformation vector expressing T. goesingense Metal Transport Protein1 gene and TgMTP1: GFP genes. The transgenic plants were selected and confirmed the transformed genes into Arabidopsis thaliana genome. Expression was confirmed in several parts in Arabidopsis cells, tissues and organs. When TgMTP1 overexpressing Arabidopsis thaliana were subjected, transgenic plants showed higher heavy metal tolerance than non-transgenic. For further study I selected the transgenic plant lines with enhanced tolerance against four different heavy metals; Zn, Ni, Co, Cd. The accumulation of these metals in these plants was further analyzed. The TgMTP1 overexpressing Arabidopsis thaliana plant of selected lines are resistant against heavy metals. This plant is characterized by the expression of the MTP1 gene accumulating heavy metal in the vacuole and being simultaneously expressed on the plasma membrane. In conclusion, these plants may be used in plant purification applications, and as a plant with increased tolerance.

The study was conducted for the efficient utilization of biomaterials such as Chestnut shell which was wasted tremendously as an agricultural by-products. This biomaterials were examined for their removal rate of heavy metal ions as adsorbents in wastewater by batch adsorption experiments. In this experiment, the heavy metal ions used were $\Cd^{2+},\;Fe^{2+},\;Cr^{6+},\;Mn^{2+},\;Cu^{2+}$ and $Pb^{2+}$. The range of time for the removal rates of heavy metal ions were observed about 10 min. The range of high pH for the removal rates of $\Cd^{2+},\;Fe^{2+},\;Mn^{2+},\;Cu^{2+}$ and $Pb^{2+}$ ere observed 7.0-9.0. The range of high pH for the removal rate of $Cr_{6+}$ was observed 2. In the case of raw chestnut shell, the removal rates of $\Fe^{2+},\;Mn^{2+},\;Cu^{2+}$ and $Pb^{2+}$ were above 70 percent. The removal rates of heavy metals in formaline pretreated chestnut shells except $Cd_{2+}$ were above 50 percent and in phosphorylating chestnut shells except $Cr_{6+}$ were above 60 percent. Chestnut shells pretreated by formaline and phosphorylating were not so good enough for improvement of removal rates with pH change in mixed heavy metal solution.

The analysis of heavy metals associated with both PM2.5 and PM10 fraction of aerosols was made from a northeast region of Seoul during the spring period of 2001. The mean concentrations of fine (PM2.5), coarse (PM10-PM2.5), and PM10 fraction were observed as 49.3${\pm}$29.2, 50.5${\pm}$35.0, and 95.5${\pm}$46.1 ${\mu}g$/m$^3$, respectively during this study period. According to the results of enrichment factor (EF) analysis between different particle fractions, major elements (including Fe, Ca, Na, and K) were found to exhibit EF values of less than 10. However, heavy metal components (like Zn and Pb) showed very high EF values. Comparison of fine/coarse (F/C) concentration ratio showed that Zn, Cr, Pb, and Ni have higher ratio values than others. The metallic composition of particles was also compared on both absolute and relative terms. The results of our analysis showed an evidence that the increase in the total metallic contents is prominent during the spring period due mostly to the Asian Dust event.

Contents of heavy metals in paddy soils and brown rice of near the Kunsan industrial complex area were investigated. Average total heavy metal contents in paddy soils were Pb 34.33, Cd 0.50, Cu 35.49, and Zn 71.67 mg/kg respectively. There are no correlation between distances from industrial complex and contents of heavy metals in paddy soils. Average contents of heavy metals in brown rice grown above paddy soil were Pb 1.74, Cd 0.07, Cu 3.54, and Zn 16.53 mg/kg. Relationships between 0.1N HCl soluble heavy metals in paddy soils and contents of brown rice showed positive significant correlations for Pb at l% $level(r=0.6853^{**})$ and for Zn at 5% $level(r=0.5420^*)$. Relationships between total contents of heavy metals in paddy soils and contents of brown rice showed only positive significant correlation for Pb at 1% $level(r=0.7131^{**})$. Contents of heavy metals in paddy soils and brown rice of near the Kunsan industrial complex was polluted partly by the influence of smoke and dust out from industrial complex but not polluted anxious level

자연점토지반에서의 중금속 흡착시 온도변화에 따른 영향은 지금까지 2차적인 것으로 간주되었다. 그러나 최근 몇몇 연구자들에 의하면 온도변화가 중금속 흡착 거동에 큰 영향을 미친다고 보고하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 자연점토 지반에 대한 중금속 아연(Zn) 흡착시 온도변화에 따른 흙의 각 구성성분별 흡착거동을 살펴보기 위해 혼합 흡착-연속추출법(combined absorption-sequential extraction analysis, CASA)을 사용하였다. 실험결과 중금속 아연의 농도가 저농도(50mg/L 미만)일 경우 자연지반에서의 분배양상은 주로 탄산염 형태로 존재하고, 또한 온도의 증가에 따라 탄산염 형태의 흡착량이 증가하는 것을 알 수 있다. 하지만 고농도(50mg/L 이상)의 경우 분배양상은 주로 이온교환형태로 존재한다는 것을 알 수 있다. 그러나 고농도에서의 이러한 분배형태는 온도의 증가에 따라 탄산염형태의 흡착량이 약 20%정도 증가하는 결과를 얻었다. 결론적으로 중금속 아연의 자연점토지반의 각 구성성분 별 흡착거동은 이온교환 형태를 제외하고 온도증가에 따라 증가하는 흡열반응(ΔH0>0)인 것으로 나타났고, 또한 고농도에서의 분배형태는 이온교환 형태에서 탄산염 형태로 변화되는 것을 알 수 있다. 그리고 이온교환 형태의 경우 온도변화에 따라 독립적인 거동을 보였다.

Emission of heavy metals as hazardous air pollutants has been focused with tightening regulatory limits due to their hazardousness. Measurements and characteristic investigations of heavy metals emitted from a commercial power plant burning anthracite coal have been carried out. The plant consists of a circulating fluidized bed combustor, a cyclone, a boiler and an electrostatic precipitator(ESP) in series. Dust and gaseous samples were collected to measure main heavy metals including gaseous mercury before ESP and at stack. Dust emissions as total particulate matter (TPM), PM-10 and PM-2.5 at inlet of ESP were very high with 23,274, 9,555 and $7,790mg/Sm^3$, respectively, as expected, which is much higher than those from pulverized coal power plants. However TPM at stack was less than $0.16mg/Sm^3$, due to high dust removal efficiency by ESP. Similarly heavy metals emission showed high collection efficiency across ESP. From particle size distribution and metal enrichment in sizes, several metal concentrations could be correlated with particle size showing more enrichment in smaller particles. Mercury unlike other solid metals behaved differently by emitting as gaseous state due to high volatility. Removal of mercury was quite less than other metals due to it's volatility, which was 68% only. Across ESP, speciation change of mercury from elemental to oxidized was clearly shown so that elemental mercury was half of total mercury at stack unlike other coal power plants which equipped wet a scrubber.

Stabilization of metals in contaminated soils using various waste materials has been reported. Alkaline materials (limes, shells, industrial byproducts, etc.), phosphorous (P) containing materials (animal bones, phosphate rock, etc.), organic materials (composts, manures, biochars, etc.) and others (zerovalent iron, zeolite, etc.) were widely evaluated to ensure its effectiveness/applicability of stabilization of metals in soils. Stabilization mechanisms of those materials above were partially revealed, but the related literatures are still lacked and not sufficient for approaching to long-term stability/applicability in the field. The aims of this review are to summarize current knowledge of metal stabilization in contaminated soils using various waste materials and to suggest a direction for future field research.

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was that serum metabolic and hematological variables were measured to investigate the detoxication effect of Taraxacum mongolicum extract on male albino rat exposed with lead and mercury. METHODS AND RESULTS: For this study, Pb and Hg-exposed( 50 ppm) albino rats was used, and the treatments were carried out in three doses of 100 mg/kg, 200 mg/kg and 500 mg/kg as dry weight of T. mongolicum extract. T. mongolicum extract could improved the body weight gain and feed efficiency ratio, except to food intake. The levels of biochemical factors elevated by Pb-Hg mix exposure, which are Bilirubin, Alkaline phosphatase(ALP), glutamic oxaloacetate transaminase(GOT), glutamic pyruvate transaminase (GPT), lactate dehydrogenase(LDH), ceatinine and blood urea nitrogen(BUN), were significantly reduced in all treated groups as compared to Pb-Hg mix exposure alone. T. mongolicum extract was shown to suppress the accumulation of Hg and Pb in serum by dose dependent manner. CONCLUSION: Therefore, this study suggest that T. mongolicum extract might have the potential effect to minimize the toxic effects of Pb and Hg.

최근 연안역의 급속한 공업화와 산업화 및 도시화에 의한 인구 집중은 연안 해역의 부영양화 및 번번한 적조를 일으키는 주요요인으로 고려되어 왔는데, 하구역을 통해 해역으로 유입되어지는 다양한 물질들의 농도분포는 물리적인 혼합에 의한 보전적인 혼합 특징을 보이거나 생지화학적인 여러 복잡한 요인들에 의해서 결정된다. 특히, 중금속원소들은 지속성이 매우 커서 일단 자연환경 내로 투기되면 강우 및 대기를 통해 바다로 유입되고 해역 내에서 이들 원소들은 물리화학적인 여러 가지 과정에 의해서 해저퇴적물로 침강희적, 외해수와 혼합ㆍ확산되어지거나 혹은 먹이사슬을 통해 생물 농축(Bioaccumulation)되어 결국 인간에게 돌아온다 (Aston, 1978; Lee et al., 1981).
